~~ WBW- Poppin My Cherry~~

WBW.. Way Back WHENsday. Brought to you by the ever so lovely MAMADUCK . She picks a subject each week, and you get to rummage through your pictures of the past and humilate yourself on the internet. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME (hense, the cherry poppin, cuz I'm clever like that!!) I have wanted to play before, but, lack the ability to post pictures (cuz I AIN'T clever like THAT!!). So the wonderful and generous JENNIFER hooked me up and posted my picture (100000000000 thanks Jennifer!!)





This weeks theme was soriritys/frats, to which I was part of neither. So I oppted for the photo of my "line dancin pals" YEAH, I line danced, so what of it?!!! My friends here all laughed when I BEGGED them to join line dancing with me, but obligied me because, ya know, I was 21 and had 2 babies at home and they felt bad and stuff.... but, truth-be-told, they ended up LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!

Pictured here are my friends Kimmie, Jen, ME (at the ripe ol' age of 21, whooeeee) Jill, my mom, and Diane (standing in back). Kimmie, Jen, Jill and I all attended LCCC, or Last Chance Community College to the locals, and we were all very good friends, so I guess this qualifies as our "sorority" picture... more importantly, we spent most Saturday nights those years getting drunk and line dancin (in all of our NEPA-meets-the-south glory!!). This picture was taken on my moms 40th birthday!!

So there you have it, my de-virginizing escapade into WBW!!Maybe next week will be more interesteing!!


Kat-- glad she doesn't have pictures of us wearing the "country garb" we actually put on back then, oh the horror!!

~~BABY, BABY, BABY~~

Big congrats to Rosalie and her husband Andrew on there announcement! Rosalie is pregnant, how great is that!!

My sister,Stephanie is also preganant, (for those of you that do not pay much attention!!)

So that is two, who will be lucky number three?!!!!


Kat~~ Who loves new babies, but is glad she will not ever be having anymore herself!!~~

~~ Every Little Step I Take~~

~It is nearly 1000 steps from the door of my office to the other end of the building. I walk these 1000 steps about 8-10 times daily, sometimes more. I guess when asked if I exercise, my answer should be in fact, yes.. cause lets face it...that is a hell of a lot of walking. And not even just normal walking, in like sneakers, but in dress shoes, with like 2 inch heals. Sometimes I even impress myself with the amount of walking I do, other times I curse the very thought of taking another step. So the very next time someone asking me in that, oh so condesending tone "how did you loose weight like that", I will let them take a walk in my shoes, LITERALLY!!~

~~ We are pleased to announce new Dave Matthews Band tour dates for November and December 2005.


/Dec 06 / Bryce Jordan Center / State College, PA / with Soulive
/ Dec 09 / Madison Square Garden / New York, NY / with Soulive
/ Dec 10 / Madison Square Garden / New York, NY / with Mike Doughty
/ Dec 13 / Wachovia Center / Philadelphia, PA / with Mike Doughty



OHHH the things this band does to me, so close to the holidays, yet, so doable in a if i really pinch my money and save kinda way. Maybe Santa will come a little early this year and leave me some tickets in my stocking! I mean, really, it is like the best of all worlds, DMB in NYC (that post a few days ago was like a sign, from like,the concert gods!) at the holidays, the tree, and the lights and the .. fun, oh yes, the fun it would be...sigh~~

~~ Sadly, another hurricane is in the midsts of hitting down. This time it is set to hit parts of Texas, and perhaps Louisianna AGAIN. I just feel so sad, and really that word does not begin to grasp how horrible I feel. There has to be people out there, already affected from Katrina, or those that graciously opened their hearts and homes for those in need, that are questioning how much more they could possibly endure in such a small amount of time.. god bless you all and keep you all safe.~~

Kat~~who knows that in the grand scheme of things my walking moans and seeing DMB woes are only minute details, and sincerly hopes that everyone will be sparred any further devestation.

~~Sometimes a search brings a new surprise~~

**Noted in the Wonder Lyrics search under DMB**

Any/Anti Noise {Say Goodbye}


it's gracious of you
to hold your arms
throw your charms around me
it's gracious of you
to lead me by the hand
I really love you
it's gracious of you
to be by my side, rolling wild
reeling thunder
it's gracious of you
come again, come again to me
and save me the need to say goodbye
and why would I ask of you, need to say goodbye
say it, say it, oh, I don't know how to say this,
please, here leave me warm, hollowed and open.
(yodeling.... ) one more.... (more yodeling)
and then leave, yeah.
it's gracious of you to hold me while
I don't want to say goodbye, yeah...
oh goodbye...... it's too soon for me to
say goodbye, say goodbye hey, it's warm here
say goodbye leave it cold again, cold again.
say, say goodbye.


~~ I found these lyrics today, never in all of my lyric searches (yeah, I look them up.. I mean, you know, don't wanna be one of those NEWBIES THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE LYRICS!!) have I found this song. Has my Dave been moonlighting with new music?!!!

~~ My original post was going to be a less than favorable one against my brother-in-law, or should I say "soon-to-be, maybe-never at the rate he is going Brother-in-law". Lets just put this out there, the boy is, in a word, a waste. Of time, energy and space, other than to have helped create THE MONSTER, my nephew whom I love dearly, and to have helped create the pod that my sister is currently hosting. OTHER THAN THOSE 2 SMALL DETAILS, I am convinced his only other goal in life is to make my poor sister absolutely MISERABLE. Does he not know that making a preggo girl cry is bad carma and will only result in years of things coming back ten fold. You see, she was called by our friend E,yesterday with an extra ticket to the FROM THE BIG APPLE TO THE BIG EASY concert (yeah, I know, lucky bitch!) all she would need up front is $ for tolls and to spend and she could pay the ticket price back when she could. The b-i-l was all for it yesterday. This made sis happy. Enter Dr Jeckyl, no wait, Mr Hyde.. WHO WAS THE BAD ONE THERE AGAIN?? Well, you get it. The boy had a minor altercation with bi-poloaraity and changed his mind, at SIX O FREANKIN CLOCK THIS MORNING. WHO does this? Of course, she calls me up crying hysterically. I mean, the girl is carrying your kid for god sakes.. no alcohol (which YOU seem to be picking up the slack in THAT department) no late nights dancing, ya get it don't ya?? Nine months sans the fun. Is an evening with a little Dave for a good cause REALLY too much to ask?? I think not.

So I did it, I played devils advocate, I told her to go. I told her to have fun, I told her to forget about he, who thinks only of himself, and forcus and THEE for a change. I did it, and have no quams saying I did. I think she is entitled............... plus, maybe I will get a concert call!! (ok, so maybe THAT PART was a bit selfish:)

*So the new DMB discovery beat out the b-i-l bashing post, and y'all got a little of both! Hope you enjoyed!!

~~ Kat, who can really hang with the best of the tangent-eers, and is PROUD of it!

~~ Hey Brett, It's called a "HURRY UP OFFENCE"

Because they want you to hurry the hell up!!

And I am not even a Packers fan, but damn, that was a painful 5 minutes, only to loose anyway.


AND... it is freaking FAV-RE, not FAR-VE.. if they wanted it to be pronuonced that way WHY IN THE HELL DID THEY NOT JUST SPELL IT THAT WAY.. jeessshhhhh.

~~ Because being Miserable is SOOOO much fun~~

Dear Mr Miserable,


I know that working is not necessarily the most enjoyable thing for one to do with ones time.. but lets face it, being miserable does not help the day go faster, nor does it make that perpetual crink in your frown less apparent. But really, must you infect everyone around you with your plauge of disdain, barking your responces like a dog with rabies, foaming and frothing at the mouth.. or throwing your hissie fits like a 12 year old girl on her first period? Because,frankly, you make my stomach turn into a huge knot and glimpses of me gauging your eyes out with the end of my staple puller would seem like a day in the park.

Your miserable, I get it. But, hey, I am not the one that made you a middle aged man stuck in a job you hate just so your kids can go to the expensive catholic school and your wife probably controls your life in every way and you dream to be that young dead head pot smoking free loving dude you were back in the day.It is not, nor will it ever be my fault.. so get over it and get nice!

If not, best to keep your distance when I am pulling staples, because it is all fun and games.. well you know how that one goes.

With most sincere regards,

The Nice Girl


~~ Kat- who hates the fact that in spite of my desperate attempts to be nice to certain people they continue to feel the need to lash out on me and tell me how to do my job. UGHHHHH:(

~~DMB AND ME IN NYC~~

http://www.fromthebigappletothebigeasy.com/


AHHHHH If I were independantly wealthy, and leisuraly available.. I could be heading into NYC on Tuesday to see Mr Matthews, Mr Anastasio and (uck) Mr Mayer for an all star cast line up, more importantly a Katrina tribute @ RCMH. AND the all proceeds go to the relief fund. This is the second even in 2 weeks that Dave is involved in for Katrina relief... DAMN THAT MAN IS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!

And the title, hey it rhymed.


Kat-- Who will write as many posts in one day as she can just to make up for the lack of posting, yeah.. y'all will be sick of me soon!!
