LONG time!

It has been forever since I've written on this blog. Everything in my life is wonderful! No relationships, lots of amazing friends in my life and my sisters are both pregnant! YEAH! Life is great! Just wanting to make sure everyone knows!

So...I did it.

So, I finally admitted I was wrong and appologized to Erica. The only reason I did that was because I can't stand to be in a fight with anyone, let alone my best friend. So I text messaged her about 10 minutes ago. I know, I know, not the best way to appologize but it works. I told her that I was being selfish and that I was sorry and I hope she forgives me. I told her we could talk in person if she wanted sometime soon. I really hope she writes Something, ANYTHING back to me. UGGGG! This is so stressful and retarded! Onto my wonderful day! I went shopping with my mom today, which I haven't done all summer! We went to Eddie Bauer for her and ended up buying me a jacket! It is sad when you start going into your mom's stores and finding clothes for yourself, that actually look good! WOW I'm feeling old! Then, we went to Ulta and got me a some styling spray and a PINK CHI strightener! How exciting is that! I am PUMPED! And I got another shirt from a shop called Camille la Vie. It's SO cute! I would consider this shopping day successful! Alright I'm going to go watch Summerland on The N. Peace! I'm out!

Better but Friend problems

I feel better this week. My sister finally made it here and through her 10 year high school reunion. I had to let her back into the house after her being out and about all night. I spent a lot of time sleeping on the couch while the little ones slept until my sister got home with her husband. I have just recovered from 3 days off work! YEAH! That was exciting. I hate work, but I have to make money somehow. And I don't think prostitution or gambling are answers to that issue. Just Kidding! I'm not that crazy! I went to work tonight and one of my good friends of a long time, Daniel Lewis, came to visit me. It was nice to see him again, he cheered me up and helped me through the work day. Then Rachee came to see me at work with her baby Jarred. He's a cutie! So my work day wasn't that bad through it all. I will always have friends there to help me through. Although this week I had a huge blowout with one of my friends that I've had since kindegarden. Erica and I got into a huge fight. To start off she has been with her boyfriend for a year and 5 months. So you'd think that they wouldn't have to see each other every minute of everyday. We started the summer by hanging out pretty much every other day because her boyfriend was still in high school and school wasn't out. So I was happy and she was happy too. Well, school got out and ever since then, it's been like 3 to 4 weeks, they haven't left each others sides. It's so annoying. And she won't go do anything with anyone else either. She doesn't have time for me. And it kind of made me upset. Everytime in the last month that I've asked her to do something she's always with Andy, her boytoy. So, last sunday night I found out where she was from one of our mutual friends and big surprise, she was at Andy's house, so I went over there to steal her away and go see a movie with one of her best friends. Well, I went up to the door and rang the doorbell. She answered the door and asked what I was doing there. I said that I was stealing her away to go see a movie since she's always with Andy and now it's my turn. So she said um no I'm not going anywhere. Then Andy stepped outside. I pretty much said that I hated andy and i was half joking when I said so. Then I said they spend too much time together and started to walk off, she stopped me and said, "You used to do the same thing to me when you were with Tony!" So, then I didn't say anything which i should have but didn't. Andy shouts across the driveway, cause by now i'm about to get in my truck, he shouts," See you at the wedding!" And I politely add, "Forget the wedding". So now I'm without one of my best friends. And she hasn't called me. What I should have said to her when she said the tony comment was, "I got over that and learned from my mistakes, YOU SHOULD TOO!" But I held my tongue. Oh well, it's been hmmmmmm 7 days since we've seen or heard from each other. I'm not sure if I should come clean and call her to say "I'm sorry, I was being selfish I completely understand about the situation and I'm sorry, please forgive me." OR should I just wait for her to contact me. She can be pretty stubborn. She and I have never I repeat NEVER fought before. So I don't know what to do and I can't stop thinking about it, we used to hang out ALL the time. Ugggg I feel awful about this but I also feel that I"m sort of right about it. We'll see what happens.

Lousy week

I've definately had a lousy week, I've been feeling sick and yucky the whole time. The only time I don't feel sick is when I'm on Ibuprofen. But I stopped taking it yesterday and I feel a whole lot better so maybe that the sick feelings were side affects of the Ibuprofen. I don't know but now I have a sty again. I had one about two weeks ago and now there's another one on the same eye. I think I need to get rid of some eye makeup when this one goes away. I'm excited now because my sister is coming down this week with the kids. I have 3 days off work because I am going to babysit the kids. I really need the days off because I have come to hate work. I just don't want to work at Payless anymore. It stresses me out so much! But I thought I'd just update everyone in what's going on right now.

Curly Rage

First time wearing my hair curly since school got out......yea....i forgot that I could do that! I'm about ready to cut off all my hair! I'm sick of it! It's going to be a pain in Canada too, if i'm not allowed to bring a blowdryer or my straightener I'm going to hate it the whole time. If only I had naturally straight hair life would be so much easier and I would have so much more time in my day. But no, it has to be curly. For now I guess I'll live with it curly, but as soon as I get married and have kids....it's all comin off...MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! Probably not. I love my hair long, but it's such a pain. Oh well, life goes on. Just thought I'd show some of you people my hair curly cuase you've never seen it like this before. Have a great day!

My favorite part about camping....

is getting to shoot lots of guns. In this picture I'm shooting a sniper rifle. I got to shoot a CZ 52 and a 44 Magnum and a sniper rifle and a 6mm rifle. I love guns! I'm a really good shot too! My dad said he'd get me a sniper rifle to mount in my truck to scare away my potential suitors.....I said.....no. But it would be fun. I would love to get a sniper rifle! I have a better shot with the sniper rifle then I have with the hand guns that's for sure! I was shooting with perfect accuracy at 300 yards away with the sniper, but I couldn't shoot a freakin rock in front of me with the hand gun. Figures! But the camping trip was amazing. It snowed in a light storm yesterday which was fun and we got tons of pictures. I think I had the most fun with the kids though. A lot of kids from church were there and we had a blast! I learned how to make the most efficient fire ever and where to place the logs too. I can't wait to go camping over July 4th now! Here's a pic of me and the kids and the snow! Now that is real camping!

LNUCSO

Late Night UnderCover Stealth Operations.......

I know.....you're thinking....what????? Yeah so am I! I get myself into some trouble sometimes. I discovered that you really can't see people when they're wearing all black in a pitch black house. It's fun! Anyhow, this picture is from me getting back from my undercover operation for the night. I can't tell you what I did or I'll have to kill you. Top Secret stuff, you understand.

Two jobs

Said boy from the last post now has two jobs, therefore our nightly ritual of talking on the phone for 3 to 4 hours from 12:00 to 4:00 a.m. doesn't work. So now I have to decide what to do with my time at night. I think I'll sleep, that sounds good. But first I'll tell you about my day. Today was my day off, so I went to the physical therapist and they hurt me as usual, and they taped my knee caps in place for tonight. I have another appointment tomorrow so I can tell them that they hurt me all day. Then I took care of all the animals, got hay for the horses, gave them water, chased the goose, collected the eggs. That was fun then I went to church and out to ice cream with Erica which was amazingly fun! After Ice Cream, Erica and I went to Subway where brad works and I got to drive Brad's Celica (it's BEAutiful by the way)I want a sports car now. Erica and I went to Walmart and bought all kinds of makeup YEAH! Then it was talking to the said boy from the last post all the way home. He was so sweet tonight! Anyhow, now I'm here writing this and wanting to go to bed surprisingly. So, goodnight!

One who's name shall remain nameless....

So, there's this guy........he's really nice, really sweet, really cute, really funny, really smart, and really christian.....what more can a girl ask for? Although this particular person drives me crazy! I can't see him right now cause he's in a different state and it really sucks. I don't know what to do because we talk every night and I love it but he's not here and it's another 2 months before we get to see each other. But we do have our first date set and it's going to be so much fun! All I can say is that I CAN"T WAIT to go back to Oklahoma! That's all for tonight, there may be more later......I'll keep ya updated! (And if you're wondering who this nameless guy is, well, you don't get any names probably until July..hehehe....keeping ya'll guessing is fun!)

Natural Hair Color

My hair is back to normal color! YEAH! I'm so happy for natural hair! I hated the red color that was like someone took a red magic marker to my hair. But now, life goes on as usual, thank goodness! I totally miss Oklahoma and all the people that live there. My family and a certain guy that shall remain nameless for now. I can't wait to go back and see my nieces and be in warm weather again. I'm going camping this weekend for Memorial Day with my family and some people from church so that should take my mind off of the big Oklahoma, hopefully. My sister Chrissey is coming down here to Colorado for her 10 year high school reunion in about two or three weeks and she's bringing the kids too. I get to babysit them while they party it up with their old friends and talk about their lives after high school and relive the glory days of when they used to be band nerds. I can't wait till my high school reunion......oh wait, that happens everyday out here in Falcon Co. Everyone pretty much stayed here. Except for me. Yeah me! I wouldn't trade in this last year of school for the world! I loved it! Anyhow, I just wanted to update everyone on my hair color. Have a great day!

Grey's Anatomy Season Finale

So the finale tonight was amazing and it sucked at the same time. I love that show and I want to watch it again next season and I will just to find out what happens between Mc.Dreamy and Merideth Grey seeing as their love affair didn't end. I knew they were in love the whole time. There was no doubt in my mind that they didn't love each other. UGGG! I'm upset because she was just standing there at the end having to choose between the safe route that she knows is going to be happy and safe and that he loves her, and the dangerous route that she knows is going to be crazy and wild, yet very passionate, because she loves him back. But the problem comes with his WIFE. Lots of crazy life stories going on in this show and I can't wait to see who she chooses next season. Until then, farewell Grey's Anatomy.

SA= Shopaholics Anonymous

Hi! My name is Katie, and I am a shopaholic. Yep you heard it right....a SHOPaholic. But I believe I'm making up a different kind of shopaholic term, it will be Clearance-aholic. I work at Payless Shoes and I can't seem to stop buying shoes. But the ones that I buy aren't the $22 ones, they are the clearance $5 shoes. No matter how much I try to stop I just can't. I went to the mall today and I didn't buy anything because everything was way too super expensive. I've decided to go to Ross and TJMax tomorrow and spend my money on like 5 clearance items instead of getting like one shirt for $35 at the mall. My problem is I can't stop spending money on clothes. Anyone that knows me knows that I have WAY too many clothes, which is true. I tend to keep my clothes from like 5 years back just in case by some miracle I lose weight again and can fit into them. YEAH like that is ever going to happen! Plus they are from like middle school, those clothes are OUT of STYLE! I think I'm going insane. I know that I should get rid of some but I can't. It's an addiction, and I keep buying more clothes. I'm a mad woman! Someone help!

Runner's Knee

So I went to the doctor yesterday and he told me what was wrong with my knee. After much twisting and popping of my patella. He told me that I have Runner's Knee. Runner's knee is not just for runners, my softball is what probably caused it in the first place. After years of softball it's finally taking a toll on my body. So, here's what is happening inside my knee. Both of my patella's are out of place and they are rubbing up against the femurs, which in turn is causing an excess of inflamation and pussy tissue under my knee. My patella is grinding up against the femur when I walk, run, or bend my knee at all. The doctor said that surgery is the last resort, but for now to take 600 mg of Ibuprofen at every meal and to attend physical therapy sessions to help straighten my knee caps out. Strange..I never knew there was anything wrong with my knees until I started working at Payless....hmmm...I sense a connection. The doc also said that I'm not allowed to bend down at work or get on my knees to do stock or help measure little kids' feet. That's like my whole job.....working pretty much sucks now because I can't do anything anymore, plus it hurts soooooo bad to work, standing for 8 hours and walking around is not my idea of fun. How am I supposed to rest my knees when I'm working 30 hours a week? Well my first physical therapy appointment is in the morning so I'm going to get some sleep.

Can you say "RED"!!!!!

WOW my hair is RED! I hoped this time that it would be a sort of darker red, well, I got fire engine red, OH JOY! Well, the good thing is I don't think it looks that bad, and it will wash out in 8-10 shampoos. That's not too bad. But the bad part is that my dad is going to disown me because I am messing with my naturally beautiful hair! I'm just having a little fun, I'm in college I'm supposed to have fun Right!!!??? Oh man! I'm bright now!

A stroll down memory lane...

Freshman year of high school, very first softball tournament on Varsity, second game, first up to bat, I get a strike on the first ball, then on the second pitch I get hit in the knee with the fast pitch softball. I was on the ground in seconds a!nd I limped off the field. My knee automatically started to swell and turn purple. I had marks where the seam of the softball hit. I went to the doctor and got it X-rayed and there wasn't anything wrong with it other than the major swelling and inflamation of my ACL.

Yesterday...I was at work for 8 hours on my feet and my knee started hurting again after 5 years of being fine. It was okay to walk on and drive. Today, I went in to work for 3 hours and about an hour in I couldn't walk very well, the pain was horrible! And now I'm icing it making sure I can at least limp tomorrow. That was my wonderfulness of today and I'm hoping the pain goes away before I have to go see a doctor.

Cell Phone Plans

So I have decided that cell phones are of the devil. I incurred about $400 worth of text messaging charges on my verizon wireless phone bill. I've decided that I'm going to go with T-mobile because it has $14.99 UNLIMITED text messages, picture messages, IM, and movie messages. How exciting is that! And they have coverage in Colorado and Oklahoma really well. So pretty much I don't care about Verizon and they cost way too much! T-mobile rocks! Well I have to wait until December to change phone companies but I can wait for an amazing phone company, that's fine. :)

First Entry of New Blog!

I absolutely love Blogging! I don't know what it is anymore, it helps me get things out i guess. I'm joining the blogging world of my sisters, so now we can all keep up with each other everyday since we're in different places right now. I've been so stressed out lately. I started back at Payless Shoes yesterday and the lady that was supposed to work with me called in sick, so I was there all by myself for 6 hours and I had to close. Closing is a pain by myself. Well It's back to work again working 3o hours a week for the next two and a half months. Then It's off to Canada for my Comm 3 class for the Shakespeare festival! But I have to read all my books and write a paper while I work at Payless.....hmmm...I don't know how that's going to work out, but somehow I have to do it. I guess I just won't have a social life for the next couple months. Fun Fun! I miss OC so much! The friends that I made this year are amazing and we had so much fun! The picture is of my friends and I out on a Girls night out the last day before finals. We had a blast and I can't wait to go back!
