Happy!

Because my two bikinis from Victoria's Secret arrived today! A pink triangle bikini and a purple tanga bikini with a adorable top. I lurve them! Now I must continue my bikini body challenge to fit them properly. 

Also happy because we are watching Lost in Austen again and this movie cracks me up! 

Favorites

Things that Katie Loves, Like, A Lot:

1) Burn Notice (TV series with Jeffrey Donovan, about an ex-spy who helps people and is full of awesome.)

2) Diana Gabaldon's series of "Outlander" books. So long, but so worth it. Go Jamie!

3) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (chick who slays vampires and gets to hang out with Willow and Xander!)

4) Chocolate.

5) Novels by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes and Tamora Pierce (my favorites when I was younger). Some other faves: Janet Evanovich (Ranger!) and Harry Potter. I do love some Nora Roberts romance as well.

6) Country music: Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Chuck Wicks (hot!), Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, and lots more.

7) Sleeping. Napping. Reading in the sunlight and falling asleep.

8) Nick.

9) Listening to loud music and singing along in the car with the windows down.

10) Lip gloss! Chap sticks! Lip balms!

11) Steaming hot showers that turn me into a "boiled lobster", quoth Nick.

12) Blogs (Amalah and Dooce! Whee!)

13) Snuggling with my cats. Falling asleep with Oz purring next to my feet. Feeling Io do his very quiet purr by touching his throat in the mornings, where he sleeps on "his" pillow.

14) The smell of fresh-cut grass.

15) Driving home. I love the slow, slightly windy road and the tree in the middle of the road, and that I know a lot of my neighbors, and the wildflowers, and the cute houses, and the dogwoods, and the huge trees over the road.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm distracted by my six foster kittens attacking my bare legs with their needle teeth and claws. I'll add more later!

Snippits

*Last weekend we went to the LA marathon to see Quentin's dad run it! He ran 26.6 miles in 3 hours and 32 minutes, how crazy is that? His running has inspired me to want to run in a marathon, (a short one, I am so. not. a runner), or at the very least to be more active.

*New Moon came out on DVD and I've watched it 2 and 1/2 times, and it's playing right now. Dad's watching it! (Can you believe it?! YES!) I am so Team Jacob and love the 30 minutes his shirt is off!

*My brain is mushy. I keep forgetting what day it is, what I am supposed to do at that day, and I'm misplacing things--which is normal for me, but what isn't normal is what I'm misplacing. I am used to losing my cell phone or my keys, or the shoes that match my outfit, or leaving my mascara in my purse, but today? Today I misplaced the cash envelope and the deposit envelope at work, two things that you DO. NOT. LOSE. The doctor asked if I had a deposit envelope for him and I'm like "Yep! Let me get it!" and I go to where we keep the envelope, and IT WASN'T THERE. Five frantic minutes later of me thinking I've lost my mind and my boss looking at me like I have lost my mind, I found it in the credit slip drawer in my supervisor's desk. GAH.

*I took a nap today because I have the most awesome boyfriend ever! I went to see Nick after work and immediately fell asleep in his bed for nearly three hours. He's so sweet, he let me sleep as long as I needed to and I even heard him telling Clair that she needs to not come in right now because Katie's sleeping and it needs to be quiet. Nick's been nagging me to sleep more (I stay up too late all the time) and I finally got to catch up!

*I got to see Aimee (my supervisor)'s kids! My friend Andra babysat Cole (3 years) and Siena (1 year) and I hung out with them for a few hours. I cannot believe how grown up Cole is--I used to babysit for him when he was just a few months old! And Siena is seriously one of the most adorable girls ever. Her laugh is so cute!

*I got to see Vicky too! She came over and we watched New Moon and made chocolate chip cookies, sooooo delicious! It was so nice to see her and be able to catch up, especially since we used to work together a few times a week and now we see each other so infrequently!

*I'm sleepy again and can't think of anything interesting to say. But! I have a new "tart" dress (Mom's definition of a short party dress) that I'm going out in tomorrow night with some girlfriends so I will at least have an interesting story of how I couldn't bend over and how I fell over a lot from my heels!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Holy shit on toast, I just saw New Moon, and ohmigod, I am still in awe of Jacob's muscles. I am just going to have to get over the feeling like a perv because he is 17, as there is just no escaping the fact that he is hot. He is like the perfect little werewolf. If only he sparkled!

That said, WHAT IS WRONG WITH BELLA?! WHY, in the world of sparkly vampires, would she pick the pale brooding 109 year old instead of the strong, sexy werewolf? I simply do not understand it. 

Yikes. This post is a bit embarrassing. Um. So. The movie was great! I will see it again Saturday with my aunts and mom and cousin, yay! I thought that the acting was improved, the sparkling was better, and the muscles were awesome.
