how stoked am i?

omg, seriously, that was so traumatizing. not having my blog? i about freaked. so many posts that i had planned on scrapbooking (one day) and just not being able to do my random little blogs!
but i'm back. still figuring out everything. like where my banner went? and i need to re-set up all my links (grrrrrrr) but at least i have my blog back.
i don't really have time to do any blogging right now, but i'm back! i hope you are all still around and didn't forget about me : ( just gimme a little shout out to know you're still there! (and if you do, it will help me find your blog a lot faster! lost all the blogs that i had on my links : ( so if you want your spot back, be sure to comment )
hope you all have a fabulous memorial weekend- i know mine went by way to fast, and i did not get enough done at all!!!!
be back soon ; )

happy birthday jack

jack johnson is 31 today. oh i love the fun facts i learn from trent. ; ) and we all know how i looooooove jack! so he's only 6 years older. thats not bad at all. i'd marry him. except i'm already married, and so is he, and i would never been able to even open my mouth near him i'd be so star-struck.
and how good was LOST last night? i wish i could have watched it with someone so i could discuss everything. it was totally predictable that micheal was tricked, or whatever you want to call the situation. i cannot wait for next week! who wants to come over to my LOST seasons finale party?
pretty much thats all for now. blogger is being weird so i don't even know if i'll be able to post this. to get HERE i had to google my preschool name (which i just found out that my blog pops up if you google it, so i'm gonna have to take out the old post w/my preschools name in it. oops!) to find an old post, then i got into this part. the dashboard? is that whats its called?
anyways, thats my random post. hopefully it works, and i'll be back next week!

i've got some good news and some bad news..........

thats what my assistant said to me when she came in to work yesterday. an hour an a half late (ok, so she told me she would be late, but this just makes the story better). and then she preceeds to tell me that she got another job. um, still waiting for the good news??
so that was no fun, not a good way to start the day
then, after work i'm kinda bumming about it all, so i don't get to finish my cj in time to send it. DANG! so that was a bummer. but at least i finished my cj!!! i'm sending it out tonight
here it is!
my cover. i'm really stoked on this part. and the album is brown and pink. and all the scans are no good, cause my scanner sucks. but i was stoked that the yellowish flower i got from barb turned out perfectly! i used that color for the background color in the bookplate- did it on microsoft word. look at me, all computer savvy........... (thanks barb!)

intro page. pretty boring. actually, very boring. but whatever. it does the job



sign in pages. i'm not cool and don't know how to like paste the two togheter, so you'll just have to picture it. didn't have very many extra pages, so the sign in page had to be just 2 pages, hence the tiny little square sign ins. but i figure everyone is supposed to use a pic of themselve on their lo, so i don't need it on the sign in too.



ok, blogger is being stupid and i can only do one page. but you get the idea. and then here is my entry. i'm actually pretty happy with it. pic was taken by the fabulous michelle- thanks chica! and the fun paperclip was also from barb. and i used rubons! i think they turned out pretty ok. if you can't read what it says": sister-daughter/newlywed-wine lover/a bit crazy- happy/scrapbooker- magazine whore - wife- silly/ preschool teacher- 25/work otu wanna be/ fabulous me.

and yeah, it does look like i wrote magazine, then whore. but i swear, i'm not a whore!!!! lol

so yeah, thats my bloggin babes cj! so stoked to have this started can't wait to get michelles in the mail (ok, btw michelle, i think i wrote something about it being the last cj i get? i'm a dork. its the first one! right? oh dang, i don't know. but you know what i meant)

i have a wedding this weekend, that i'm in. i've told some of you about it, so you know what i'm talking about. lots of stuff to do before hand, plus no assistant = no much bloggin for kat. so if i'm mia, thats why- but i'll be back!

have a fabulous middle of the month of may rest of the week!

who wears short shorts?

fabulous fact friday. everyone's doing it, thought i should join in!

but first

an update. kinda. last night i got to sit around and do, well, pretty much *nothing*

it rocked

funny how i always complain about balance, but life does kinda just balance itself off naturally. and this is just the stupid stuff. like not having enough time to catch up on emails, blogger, myspace, 2peas, etc. then last night, i was exhausted (we went on a field trip. nuff said) so after i made dinner, i just did nothing. it rocked.

ok, now onto some fabulously random facts

1) i like my jeans tight, but my shorts baggy. and short. hence the title. yep- i wear short shorts!

2) i have to wear a mouth guard at night, cause apparently i grind my teeth really bad. i've woken steve up with it. but we thought it was just me clinkin my tounge ring around. yeah- turns out that and my teeth! i'm close to hitting a nerve- eww! craziness

3) i don't think i know my natural color. i've been dying my hair since i was like 14 or something

4) i hate spiders and bees. and anything else that stings. i used to wish on my birthday candles that all of them would go away. damn. didn't happen

5) totally copped out on mothers day and just ordered flowers. i'm a scrapper- i should be making her cards! but i suck, and i've been too busy, and practically forgot about mothers day (my kids at my preschool made their mothers day gift almost a month ago. they painted little pots and we planted flowers. only two of the pots actually grew the flowers. damn. ok, off the topic............) but my mom rocks and deserves better. i'm a bad daughter : (

6) i'm gonna have margaritas again tonight. someone brought premade margaritas to our party, that we obviously didn't need. so tonight we're making enchilladas (again) and margaritas (again) but seriously- how can you tire of margaritas?

7) apparently, i'm greedy- according to The Seven Deadly Sins Quiz on 4degreez.com (saw it on Levi's blog and decided to try it out) and that made me sad : ( i think its cause i don't donate money to charity- cause i haven't had any to donate! but i do food drives with the kids, and we make valentines for retirement homes. but anyways, that made me sad. i need to work on not being greedy. oh, and also gluttony. they totally called me fat. bastards

Greed:	High
Gluttony:	Medium
Wrath:	Low
Sloth:	Low
Envy:	Low
Lust:	Low
Pride:	Low

8) i've been pierced 23 times. the most i had at one time was 17 (my lucky number). now i have 13. wait, thats an unlucky number. hmmmm, new piercing?

9) i love leopard print. my whole dorm room was all leopard print and purple. i was into it way before spice girls even. but now that i'm married, and steve has some imput on decorating- leopard print, not so much

10) i've never live in iowa. i know some people thing i have, but i nope. born in colorado, raised in nor cal, and now is so cal. all my family lives in iowa. i visit all the time. but i've never lived there, and i never will (not to diss IA, i just love me my so cal!!!)

so those were some really random and maybe not so fabulous facts. but now you know just a little bit more about me

have a fabulous weekend!!!!!!!!! (holy cowzas, this week went by tooo freakin fast!)

work hard. play harder

yep. so i do have a crazy busy day. and it can be ridiculous some times. but soon, i'll be making enough money to hire another assistant, and i'll just scrapbook all day. that would be awesome. we'll see if it ever happens. and when it does, i'll brag, k? alright
so yes, work hard- play even harder! cinco was off the hizzy. major margarita drinking. and tequilla shot taking. ay ay!!! so much fun
here are a few pics of the evening unfolding......

the margarita machine. rented from senorita margarita. they were the BOMB. lol. love that expression......

before all the guests arrived, i took a little break to relax in the hammock. we got it as a wedding gift, but we can't leave it up outside otherwise some kid would crack his skull open playing on it. but it thought it was the perfect time to bust it out

first shot of the evening! (ok, it wasn't actually my first, but everyone elses). we were taking shots of patron. nice. no salt or limes necessary

look how happy i am? i did a little skip afterwards. cheers!

me and my friend paula. totally a cute pic, but i'm not looking at the camera. who does that? stupid me, i ruined the pic : p

steve pouring in the SECOND batch of margaritas. each batch contains enough for 75 8oz margaritas. so we decide to make another batch. and i think its a great idea to also add rum instead of triple sec to the mix- along with the tequilla (no one evne noticed, though). and yeah, this batch dind't get close to being finished. we should have just stuck to beer......

oops, forgot to turn this around. our friends from college IV days. they came from santa barbara, and bobby came from lodi for the fiesta!!! fun stuff
me, again, at the tequilla shot table. woo hoo!
my favorite picture of the night. steve works with the two guys in the pic with me. the also all play softball togheter. love this pic! so funny

and this is me towards the end of the evening. i totally look pregnant (dont' worry, i'm not!!!!) in that shirt. i was dancing around a sombrero, my interpretation of a hat dance. shortly after i was sleeping on the sofa...........

so that was my cinco de mayo! and it took for freakin ever for me to get these darn pictures on my computer, then my blog. so i've decided that i'm not going to post so many pics on my blog, cause then i never get any blogging done. (the whole 2 computers thing) don't worry- i'll still post pics, just not every week. but i want to do more random blogging, not so much updates, etc. so thats what i'll do....

monday night i sent out my pea-utiful cj. its kinda a complicated situation, some of you girls already know it, but i haven't been able to do a cj entry for a few months. so it felt so good to complete this last one. such a feeling of accomplishment as i tucked my cj page in the book. i love that it was something i don't usually do, and at first i didn't like my layout, but in the end i was really proud of it! thats why i'm loving the cj thing, gets me to do things out side my little scrapbooking box ; )

thats all for now. i can't believe its wednesday already! how the week has flown.......... but let me tell you, by tuesday morning i was wishing i still had that margarita machine ; )

have a fabulous rest of the day!!!

you think you know, but you have NO idea..........

ok, so i don't think any of you really think you know anything about my daily life. and i always thought that was the stupidest line on that mtv show. ok, if i thought i knew anything about your life, i wouldn't watch the show. duh.
ok, anyways, so life has been crazy, as usual. and i haven't had time to post. so i decided to let you all know what i do all day and why i'm so busy. a day in the life of me...........

5:45 am - alarm goes off. i hit snooze. a bunch of times.

6:05 am - finally roll out of bed. shower, get dressed, make the bed, head down stairs set up a few things for preschool, and then start to unload the dishwasher......

6:30 am - baby Blake arrives. i dont' open till 7:30, but i needed a client when i first started, and so i took him on. he's lucky he's such a cute baby! ; ) and the family is really cool

usually put him in his highchair w/juice and cheerios while i finish unloading the dishwasher, packing steve lunch, and maybe start my own breakfast.

7 am - baby Blake usually goes down for his morning nap. i get to finally eat my breakfast. check email/blogs, etc.

7:30 am - the kids start arriving

I won't tell you what goes on in my preschool, cause that will probably bore you all. or maybe i just don't feel like writing it all down..... but

12:30 pm - NAPTIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woo hoo! this part rocks. if i'm lucky enough to have them all asleep at one time. and usually i'm not. when i'm really really really really lucky? t hey all stay asleep or on their nap mats till almost 3pm. but unfortunatly, this is a very rare occasion. so rare, in fact, that it hasn't even happened since i opened my san diego branch of shuckleber. dang.

5:30 pm - the last of the kids (should) be leaving. if not, they pay extra, $1/minute. so that can actually be nice- extra scrapbook supplies anyone?
then i have to tidy up, probably sweep, maybe vaccuum, spray a bit of "clorox anywhere" (that stuff rocks!!!) what have you

yeah, so by now i'm exhausted. but, more i'm not done yet
then i make a (healthy) dinner for me and my hubby
clean up the dishes (some nights steve does all the clean up for me. thats always nice)
then i spend the rest of the time trying to work out, scrapbook, catching up on blogs, 2peas (which i barely have time to do after all the blogging) fun reading, watching the boob tube (thank goodness for tivo!!!)
and try to be in bed by 9, so i can be asleep by 10 to get a full 8 hours of sleep. which is what i really need. but it rarely works out............
and keep in mind that i also have to keep the house (and i hate cleaning), pay the bills, do the laundry, have some what of a social life, all the work that comes with owning a preschool, etc.
wow, get tired even explaining it.
i'm also doing 2 cj's, planning a bachelorette party, and a cinco de mayo party this friday! what the hell is wrong with me?

anyways, so thats the day in the life of me.
at least i have a cleaning lady coming saturday, so one less thing to do!
and now its wednesday, my "scrap night" so im gonna make dinner, then make some mexican wedding cookies for the cinco party, then work on some cj's!!! (after i clean up the scrapbook room of course..........)
so have a fabulous rest of the week, and be sure to cinco it up this weekend!!!!!
