happy birthday to me...


in honor of my big 2-8 birthday, i decided to make myself the most fabulous-katie-tastic cupcakes i could think of. above is the result of my mind running 1000 miles per hour as i wander around the grocery store. wanted, pink and black and bling...and thus my bling-tastic cuppies were born. and i am awfully proud of them.

must also give much love to minda...my dear minda. and my adorable heidy. thank you loves for throwing me a surprise party at rice. it was a much needed girls night and it meant the world to me.
loves.


i will end my last 30 minutes of my 27th year saying...this year has been hard, really hard. but, everything thus far has worked out for the best. i am a much stronger and wiser woman going into my 28th year...and i am looking forward to the many wacky and crazy adventures that are yet to come.

love to all my bloggies.

27 year old katie out.

i could live...


in michael kors "camel, cashmere and fur" collection. ahh. seriously. i have decided that as i am living with my mom, and not paying "rent" that i will spend my extra time, effort and $$$ making my wardrobe as fabulous as i possibly can. ahh, the joys of being 28 with an awesome job and little other responsibilities. it is working out pretty well for me. but, seriously. i could live in this collection. too bad i have to wear black suits to work...but, i am surprising myself with my fab "black suit" combinations. shoes really do make the woman...and the outfit. could also live in the "glamo camo" collection, too. wow. wow. wow.

i could also live in the house that jennifer aniston and owen wilson move to in "marley & me". yeah. my dream house. where one day i will have a fabulous yard, and dog, and husband and kids and we can play football outside in the fall, and make snow angels in the snow...and ahhh....someday. i want to live in rural pennsylvania. or maybe in herriman or draper. i think it would be sort of the same. sort of.

i also could live in one of the fabulous houses in the october issue of family circle or in the halloween magazine that my mom found. ahhh...un-be-lie-va-ble. yeah. i sooo miss having my own house to decorate. ladies...really...lace on a pumpkin. check it out. you will love. i promise.

moral of the story today is...i could live with michael kors...in rural pennsylvania (draper or herriman) and in a house permanently decorated for halloween.

it's kinda been one of those days.

and... i'm back


slightly pretentious? maybe. but as i don't have my laptop...it will be a tad bit more difficult to keep the updates as constant. game plan 1...get a new laptop.

i am happy, and content, and exhausted...been sick for the past week. normally, i would have kept all you bloggies up on my sickness...but, what can i say...i am a slacker.

so quick recap for the past little while:

love the job
love being in slc
love the new car (well, new as of february)
miss california
miss people in california
work a lot of hours (working in the hotel sort of lends itself to this)
do a ton of shopping
and more shopping
spend lots of time with the fam

sadly, we lost my gramps on august 11th. which is where the fam and shopping come in. lots of you sent me some amazing messages on facebook and i appreciated every one of them. love you gramps! xoxo

for now, i am happy. and it feels good to be happy. and for you guys, you can just look forward to many more happy posts.

i've got some serious catching up to do!


katie out.



p.s. 30 day countdown to my birthday...the big 2-8. yikes!

ok fellow bloggers and readers. it has been a while. and after this post, it will probably still be a while. things have changed in my life. life has taken me down a new path that i didn't ever expect to be on, or really want to be on, but i am here. i have my health, my family and friends, and an apetite again. when i am able to post again, i will. i just wanted my readers and bloggie friends to know that i am...just ok. i'll be back.

i think....

that kate gosselin looks like bret michaels with her new hair cut/add on. not an improvement. if i had spent 20 hours of my life getting these extensions put in...i would ask for those hours back.


just saying...
