Rosalie has started her own business, er, is in the process of starting her own business. Isn't it great?!! I am so proud/jealous/envious of her. She had a thought, a dream, and is actually going through with it... I had thoughts like this when I was still @ T-Time, espeically seeing as 85% of the embroidery sales we had in the last year I was there were generated BY ME and I was getting a measily 4% commission although I was handling every single aspect of the sale. I may just take a que from Rosalie and finally get off my butt and do something, ANYTHING that is just what I WANT TO DO... could be a new trend started here!!
PS... WHY IS NANCIES DOWN YET AGAIN???

~~ SMARTASS says What?~~
~~ I have been told i am a smartass a time or two, or three... or MANY. But I never consider myself that way... more a witty one with a great sense of humore that other people don't always get (read-- there problem not mine syndrome!) But I wonder when it is a quick-witted comment becomes a down-right insult when not intended to be so and how to go about remedying the situation? A quick slip-o'-thy-tounge can cause unmendable damage to ones soul, or at the very least ego and a few stumbling words of non-heart-felt condolenses just doesn't seem to do the trick... this is always realized just after the words leave your mouth(open-mouth-insert-foot) and all you want to do is rwind time and take it all back yet it doesn't work that way. Then you are left red-faced and embarrased and so is the recipient of the words you would like to refund....
Why can't it all be like in court where you can just advise the person to strike the statement from the record and the world can all be better again... (at least until the NEXT time) ... ugh:(

~ The questions, the answers, WHAT does it all mean?~
What were you doing:
10 Years ago....I was 1 month away from turning 20 (yeah to the day!) My first son Andrew was 10 1/2 months old and keepong me very busy with his attempts at walking. ( he had crawled at a very early age and never wanted to stop crawling, it got him where he needed to be and that was just fine by him!!) We were living in an apartment with a bitchy-ass downstairs neighbor who complained often the landlord that we were banging dumbells on the floor all hours of the night (until today I still do not know what it was that the wackbird heard, possibly my Andrews bottle hitting the hardwood floor) needless-to-say we were planning on moving out of that place soon. I was working at Pixie Paradise Daycare, was not married but we had gotten engaged the Christmas Eve before ( Andys birthday is Christmas Eve and he thought that to be the best day to pop the big question and I was VERY surprised!)
5 Years ago....I was working as a supervisor for the telemarketing company I worked for 4 years then. Andrew was going to be 6 and ready to start kindergarden, Anthony was going to be 4 and Aaron was a lively 7 months and 19 days old!! We were knee high in wedding plans for our big church wedding less than a month away. (we will celebrate 5 years on August 19)
1 year ago... I was still working at T-Time, but planning on getting out of there. I had just gotten back from the Hartford shows the past weekend, we were getting ready to go to the race.. we were still seperated but were working on getting back together.
Yesterday... I had a very hectic and busy day at work (yet again) I went to Anthonys all-star game ( they lost 18-7... but played a great game) went over to Andy's game but it was over (they won 15-12) went home to the suprise that Andy ordered cheesesteak stromboli(yummie) watched some TV and went to bed!
Today... I am at work, catching up on reports that were to be done yesterday, but they were installing the scanner on my computer and then I was just too busy to finish them. After work I will get things ready for the race, go to my aunts to pick up our canopy, do laundry .,. watch a little TV and go to bed.
what WILL you do
Tomorrow.....Work, hopefully it will be less busy and I can leave a little early.. go home and finish packing up the camper, shower and go to Andys game.. around 8:00 we will be on the road to Long Pond to our 20+ race at Pocono ( the racetrack is about 20 minutes away from our house) and begin our weekend at the races!!
There it is , my answer to the survey. Not terribly exciting, but it was fun to think back at the amount of time that has passed by so quickly and revel in the memories!!
Thank you to Rosalie for replying to the Tag, now I want to Jennifers and Spikeys posts... get to it people!!

~~SURVEY SAYS~~
Although I was not tagged or baton-tossed this survey of sorts, I thought I would answer it anyway, why? Because I wanna. So it may seem vain that I just decided I would survey myself for myself sakes, but I don't care. It is not like my blog is one of the super-fun ones that have 100's of people on the blog roll. There are a hand full of people that read(and maybe handful is a bit ambitios) but I hope one day I can be one of those "super-bloggers"... maybe after I figure out how-in -the-hell-to-post-a-god-damned-picture, just maybe!!
So, the survey (I find it interesting how easily I can run on a tangent, stay focused her Kathy, maybe it is my self diagnosed Adult ADHD)....and please feel free to participate in the survey as well, and to be sure I will TAG Jennifer ,& Rosalie and I guess Spikey,too!!
What were you doing:
10 Years ago....
5 Years ago....
1 year ago...
Yesterday...
Today
AND FOR YOU GRAMMER WHORES!!
what WILL you do
Tomorrow.....
That is it, since nobody will read this until Monday, I will answer then, too.
Have a GREAT weekend!!
Kat:)
PS... How do I link other blogs into the body of a bost (I tried to do it like on nancies, but that does not work... and I also need to know how to change font color?? I AM SOOOOOOO BAD AT THIS:(

~~I Love the 80's--STRIKES BACK!!~~
There was some talk of crazy 80's things on nancies today..
"Miss Suzy had a steam boat, and that steamboat had a bell.. Miss Suzy went to heaven and the steamboat went to hell~o operator , give me #9, and if you disconnect me I will slap your behind~the frigerator there was a piece of glass Miss Suzy sat upon it and it went right up her~ask me know more questions, tell me know more lies, the boys are in the bathroom and there pulling down there~flies are in the meadow, cows are in the corn, boys and girls are kissing in the D A R K, D A R K, D A R K darkdarkdark!!!"
Remember this, we mastered it... I mean we spent hour upon endless hour at girlscout camp learning this intracte hands-slapping-motion type thing to go along with the quarky lyrics.. if you don't know about this, this was our "white-ghetto-wannabe" attempt at the jumprope rhyming of the 80's city kids( not that I know ANYTHING about 80's city kids, or any city kids for that matter, but we thought we were super cool doing our rhyming!)I also learned the essential game of SPIT @ camp, Texas-Hold-em' has nothin' on this game of fast paced, one handed solitare-only-with-two-people. My sister and I have spent many an hour in recent years playing games of SPIT and WAR while our men-folk played playstation! Sadly, she must have had a good teacher in her big-sis, because she usually kicked my arse!!
There are so many things that were GREAT about the 80's, of course, back then we thought we led such a boring life we just might be the first generation wiped off the face of the earth being atually BORED TO DEATH:) Now, though.. I have countless novel-length emails with my friend Danielle (we will soon celebrate our 25 years of friendship, since we started Kindergarden in 1980..eeeek!)about our antics and shennanigans in that decade known as the Hair-Band era! Aqua net, florecent clothes, slouch socks, acid washed jeans--- hell WE had Silver Spoons& Punky Brewster~~ think about.... we were having the "Time of our lives" weren't we!!!

** My mom and I are very close.. we even work together. (well not really TOGETHER.. but at the same company) She was on vaction for 2 weeks, and I did not realize until today how much I missed her. I went to visit her and told her how I missed her, she gave me a kiss and it made me feel all better. PLUS, she brings me lunch.. so when she was on vaction I had to "fend for myself".. which plainly put meant a lot of take out. After just losing nearly 25 lbs since last August, I can not afford all of that take out food... so I am even more glad she is back!! I think everyone everywhere should work with there mom, if only for the yummie lunches!! (today was Sausage and Pea soup.. MMMMMMM:)
*** My Aaron was bugging me to go for a quad ride all weekend, so I gave in last night and off we went. OUr first objective was to check the salt-licks (for attracting Deer to the area for hunting season) I was not real sure where they were, and my 5 year old was not a super great navigator.. but we tried real hard to find them. He would take me to a clearing, jump off and run from tree to tree, path to path with such excitement you would have sworn it was Christmas morning:) After about 15 minutes of scavanging through the woods, we decided we could not in fact find them, so we went for another ride. Down the windy paths we drove, over the rocks and along the stripping banks(we are smack -dab in old coal country... the woods are chock-full-of old stip mines), we stopped along the "lake" (which is more an old puddle, filled with much water from past rainstorms) to skip rocks, and look for tadpoles. We theb drove further down the paths to the slate banks... to which my son gleefuly challenged me to a climb up the hill. (of course, I never turn down a dare.. so up went)At the top we picked some slate rocks to paint and walked around a bit. Back on the quad, we found some dirtbike jumps and went over those just enough to get the butterflies in your belly! Atfer about an hour of fun, we headed back home. He "drove" us all the way back home. It amazes me that this child is having a hard time mastering his bicycle sans taining wheels, yet he can easily manuver a Magnum 330 ATV... then again, everything about this child amazes me. He can be my baby, who at times hangs on me so much I think he wants to go back in me.. at other times he is a little man who says the funniest, zaniest things... hard to believe that my baby will be entering kindergarden in August, and I will no longer have any childen still at home. Does this mean I am getting older~ or ~wiser?? I like to think a happy medium of both;)
**** I heard something interesting on the radio yesterday.. Eva Longoria(sp???) was interviewed in one of the many mags geared to keeping us "normal" woman feeling inferior in self image. In it she very uhhh--humbly admits that she is 100% absolutely, without a doubt happy with her looks. There is nothing she would change about herself. So it got me thinking, is she flaunting in my face her 5 foot nuthin, 100 lb nuthin frame of beauty, or is she really just filled with that much self asteem that she has no quams what-so-ever?? Is there things that I would change about myself if money was not an object and opportunities were a plenty?? Damn right there is, am I happier with my body than I was 10years ago, thankfully YES...would I ever be so bold as to make such a self-adorning statment as Miss Longoria even if I changed everything that I dislike and I was happy with my looks...ehhh.. probably not. But then again, I have neve been that type of person.So, in closing, Eva.. I am glad your happy with your looks, I am glad for you that most men would die to have a woman who looked remotely like you.. however, in the future.. please humor me , because quite frankly.. I like to live in a bubble where even the most beautiful of beauties have at least "something" they would change!!
SIGH...........

A post for the sake of posting..
I log on to blogger, go through the actual logging in and then... stare at a blank screen. WHY? I have lots to say, but for some reason when facing the dashboard, I draw a blank. There is just nothing, I can not form a sentence, there are no thoughts circling in my brain, just a whole bunch of nothing else... so here you have it, a post of nothing-ness, a post for the sake of posting........ENJOY!
