Guess what, Internets? We are still here; we have not passed go, we have not collected £200. Still waiting on a work permit, which means still waiting to go to San Francisco to apply for our work visas, which means still no tickets even. Not still waiting to move out of our apartment though! Or [...]
Before the CD lapsed into obsolescence, my music listening program went this like: listen to one CD over and over until I get sick of it and then don’t listen to it for a few years. Now with the iPod, I can at least listen to multiple albums of the same artist on a constant [...]
Remember that one time a little over a month ago when I posted about the horrible injustice of working a 40-hour week? That was before I worked a 70-hour week to do all of the desktop publishing and 70+ graphics for a proposal. While I was sick. So that was pretty awesome. Two weeks later, [...]
My dad learned how to drive at the same age at which I learned how to ride a bike (8 years).
One cannot, by definition, be a good parent if one forgets to feed one’s children just because it is the job of one’s husband who happens to be out of town.
It was nice and warm today: a balmy 80 or so degrees (F). Don’t tell my dad, but walking home in the sun kind of made me want to do yardwork.

I like to think that my parents were in charge of Katie Beta. Moving out of their house marked the release of Katie 1.0, and getting married bumped me up to Katie 2.0. Not like there was anything lacking in previous versions; the new ones just have more features you never knew you were missing.

Why I Love My Mom
by Katie
I love my mom because even though she found me at the end of the driveway in a paper bag, she always tells me that it’s impossible for her to love me any less. When I feel bad, she sings to me that I’m a poor little lamb who [...]
Remember when Stephan sprung not only a surprise honeymoon, but also our personal engagement on me? Lucky for us that these surprising roles were not swapped because I’m horrible at keeping the proverbial cat(s) in the proverbial bag(s).
I’m a blabbermouth when it comes to keeping my own secrets, but I’m great at keeping other people’s. [...]
Last week, Stephan went to Costco for pizza crust. And came home with a PlayStation 2.
Then he bought me a brand old copy of The Sims so that he, too, could experience being a PS2 widow(er). I played some car racing game with him, which I totally would have won if someone had told me [...]
(As suggested by my subconscious while I was sleeping this one time last night)
1. Have the bear stand at the bottom of a hill, maybe minding his own business and fishing for some allegedly tasty fishes.
2. Have your grandfather and his rifle (or shotgun–it’s not like you can tell the difference anyway) stand at the [...]
