SHAMELESS

So i shamelessly stole jay's last comment to have a new post and PLUS i really enjoyed his vday poem.


The Week Of Love
By: Jay Winfrey

The week of love,
fits like a glove,
If you are married,
To a guy named Larry.
Or if you are dating,
A gal called Katie.
If you are sweet,
On a guy named Pete,
The week of love,
Would seem mighty neat.
And if you were courting,
a lady called Lorrie,
The week of love,
Would be honkey dorrie.
But if you are single,
There's a little wrinkle,
The week of love,
Totally stinkles.

Hope everyone enjoyed my 'week of love' poem. Not as happy as i thought it would be, but all-in-all pretty good.Happy V-Day!

spontaneous wind poetry

This poem I just wrote is about wind and lubbock. I'm probably the first person ever to write a poem about these two topics. So here goes.

SDW DAY (co-author - Lindsey)

Severe dirty weather day.
I get out my bike.
Almost fall over.
I am the witch from Wizard of Oz.
doo da doo da doo doo , doo da doo da do doo

Today it is windy.
Today it is dirty.
Today it is Lubbock.
Severe dirty weather day.
School is cancelled.

Thank, thank you very much. (The thanks are not part of the poem.)

Why i want to work retail - HELP

Today i picked up applications at several stores around lubbock, several in the mall to be exact and when i was filling out the applications, and subsequently visiting with one of the managers, i realized i was not prepared for the types of questions i would be asked, both on the forms and face to face. i found the hardest question to be "why would you like to come to work for our company?" uh, i like your clothes. they're cute. didn't say that but i did feel like an idiot. so i beseech you to help me in my quest for a second job to provide me with answers to questions such as this and others like "what strengths will you bring to our company?" and "what didn't you like about your previous jobs?" and "if you could be an animal what would it be and why?" ok so that last one wasn't on there but who knows, they might ask me it in the interview so i've got to be ready. a girl can't take any chances...

Per emily's request

HELLO NEW JERSEY!

HAPPY JANUARY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

and HAPPY RETURN TO BLOGGING!!!!

Ok so it seems that I have been absent from this blog site for a very long time. After a conversation with em about the status of kateinspain, I decided to go ahead and blog once more.

I've decided to dedicate this blog to the winter blues... to the winter doldrums... to the 'i hate winter, winter sucks, days... I think we should all put our heads together and come up with a few ways to beat the "winter makes me want to hole up in my house and hibernate and get really fat" blues. I've come up with a few fool proof ways to turn a sad, depressing day into something slightly more enjoyable:

1) buy nutella. take a spoon from your drawer. dip in nutella. take your time licking all chocolatey goodness off the spoon.

2) stop at a thrift store or donation site; pick up some random piece of furniture for less than $5. buy can of funky-colored paint. paint furniture. look at furniture a be happy.

3) find a new recipe online. make sure it is something that doesn't even slightly resemble anything you have ever had or attempted. go buy ingredients. go home. turn on fun music really loud. give the new recipe a go. taste your creation. if it is good. email to all of us. if it is horrible. smile. take the disgusting heap of food to the nearest pond and feed the ducks and birds. if there are no ducks and birds (bc ducks aren't birds) bc it is winter and freezing, give the food to your neighbor that you don't like. he/she will appreciate the gesture.

I can think of many more things, but i should do a little work now, which by the way, does NOT help to beat the winter blues. i will go feed the ducks and birds soon.

OPEN FORUM

most frequently used words in my vocabulary of late:
don't know
i'm unsure
don't know yet
have no idea
floundering
lots of good options
still uncertain
completely indecisive
i'll wait and see
just being patient
time to think
time off (from what? i have no idea)
still don't know
no clue
figuring it out


i think you get the gist and that's why i've made up my mind to let all my friends and family and loved ones, and acquaintances, and people i don't know, make up my mind for me about my future. this is an open discussion forum to reach a conclusion about what kate should be when she grows up. (firefighter and policewoman are out... too risky).

consider it a privilege you have been given this charge.

you're welcome.

a little crashity crash crash

uh, so yesterday erin and kate were driving to work and got rear ended. kate got out of the car to see the damage. "very little if any" (kate's first assessment which she would later find out was incorrect...$800 worth of incorrect). after reviewing carefully the damage kate begin's to speak to the girl who is crying at this point to see if she has insurance. uh, she doesn't. nor does she speak english. after getting all the information she could, kate reassured the girl that everything would be ok (bien) and as erin witnessed, kate danged near hugged the girl. the end.
