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.

thought of another one. get a bike. put an annoying bell on the bike. ring the bell at people. if you don't have a bike. buy the bell. as your walking, ring the bell as you pass people. this will make you smile. your welcome.

one time jay filled up a three liter bottle with water and drug it behind his bike. he did some figure eights between some posts and the bottle fishtailed around one of them. the bike stopped. jay did not.

so children, let that be a lesson.

Congrats! You shouldn't have to say Happy Birthday to yourself so I think the fam owes you a big hug and something for the emotional trauma.
So you are entitled to get hopped up on nutella, take your bike with the new bell on it and ride through Tech campus ringing the bell with a big sign on the back saying "REPENT-the end is near!"
By the way-be nice to the duckies!

Kate! Your bday is the day before mine! We should dually celebrate next year... I think we have parallel lives. I've been "career searching" since last summer... But I chose to look for answers on an island instead of lubbock... I miss you!
