I have had an incredibly long day.
And it just keeps getting longer.
Tomorrow will be a long one too.
I have stuff to do in the morning and then a lunch date/thingy/mess in the afternoon.

Busy morning.
Sis came over this morning and we went to the bank, got Sebastian's field trip papers notarized, went to Mcds for breakfast, went to the Cingular store so she could try to get a replacement phone, hers is fucked up.
She was going to get me a new cingular go phone but they had crappy ones on special so instead we came back here and she got me this one from Virgin Mobile, same company that Mark got his cell phone through. It has a camera! Woot!
Not a bad deal either. Their other cheap ones were ok but she really wanted me to have a nice one, a flip phone with a camera.
Thanks sis! You rock!
Came home and got my mail, all kinds of issues with the insurance still and I'll update privately later on after I attempt to get more answers.
Talked to Sebastian's attorney about his annuity account, it should go through for him soon.
It's all being set aside for when he turns 18 just like we wanted it to. It's his arm, his money. I'm glad he's going to have it when he turns 18. He can put himself through college or buy a car or whatever.
I never wanted anything but for the teen© to have to be responsible and for Sebastian to be ok when it's all over. If he needs any future surgeries, he'll have the means to do it.
This whole court process has been long and quite the learning experience for everyone. It made Marks' interest in law even greater, he saw a case from beginning to completion and is still interested in becoming a lawyer.*
I'm so tired now but still have more calls to make before I can rest completely for the day.
I'll post updates as I get them privately.
Later days.
*Let's see how long this takes for this information to show up on pathetic peoples websites shall we?...lmao
I have been doing laundry all day long.
It seems to get to be more and more laundry as the boys get older.
I don't know how that happens but it does.
Then the hot water setting on my washer stopped working.
Ugh.
We tried switching the hoses, do a reverse hook-up kinda deal, but it didn't work.
Then I remembered one of my neighbors does plumbing stuff for a living so I went and asked him for help because I really can't afford a new washer at all.
He came over and within minutes, fixed it.
Rock!
I could wash in cold water but I have like germ phobia or something. I just prefer hot water to wash the laundry. Makes me feel like they are cleaner...lol
All better now and only one more load to go. Thank god. I have been at this all day long.
The weather is messing with my joints.
What's new there right?
So I'm doing laundry and that's pretty much it.
Keep my bad leg up and keep it heated and hopefully it won't flare up too bad tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Halloween and just for safety's sake, check your local sexual predators website to see who lives in your neighborhood.

Sis is coming by at some point to go shopping with me, a neighbor wants me to help dye her hair at some point and some house cleaning needs to be done at some point.
So exciting eh?
My life is just one big ball of excitement. Woooie! Don't you wish yours was like mine?...lol
I mean, it's just oodles of good times here...lmao
People make me giggle.
I finally got a call back!
You can read about it privately.
If you've lost your log in info or need log in info, you can email me mysinglemomlifeATgmail.com
I must know you, meaning you must be a regular blogger, someone who has been in contact with me before now.
If I don't know you or have access to your blog, you won't get it.
Trollish people will most definitely not be approved. Too bad, so sad.
Maybe, hopefully, it's moving somewhere at least.
Private entry is up.
I will answer all your emails shortly. Thank you for your thoughts.
I have been taking care of some things that need to be done and some people needed some pushing so I pushed and now we're getting somewhere.
Where? I don't know yet but I do know that really well written emails that get sent at 1am seem to get people to notice how bad shit is fucked up.
I'll do a proper private update probably tomorrow after more phone calls get made and received on that subject.
Those of you with access know what I'm talking about.
Can I talk with y'all for a minute? I can? Good, thanks.
It seems that the drama for some people never ends.
I left a very important to me and fun message board because of some drama whores who apparently have no lives, and I basically cut all ties with most of the members. I very rarely speak to any of them anymore. I do miss those friendships very much but my life is so ultra complicated and time consuming, I just don't have time to keep up with all the stuff that is going on with everyone else.
I post how bored I am a lot of the time because I can't post what is really going on anymore. It's just not a safe place for me anymore. I have a private blog that I try to update when I can with all the important stuff.
Why can't I post this stuff here anymore?
Because people are busybody assholes that's why.
And no, it's just one person anymore. it's a few.
A few with no lives. Or really pathetic ones that they feel the need to come here day after day and read how my life is going and then go post it on a message board.
They think using anonymouse is anonymous. I don't know how many times I have to tell you, it isn't.
It may come up in the site stats Germany or some bs but it also says EST and what time you were here, your operating system and what pages you looked at.
Moron.
I know who it is too. It is a really pathetic woman from my old message board.
What's the matter? isn't your life important enough? Aren't your kids important enough or your home or where you live more important than what I'm doing during a hurricane?
Come the fuck on sweetie, get over it.
Get over me.
She made the crucial mistake when starting drama with me, she posted an actual html link from the new forum she is a member of to me.
Duh. It shows up in the site stats idiot.
But I do want to thank you for all the extra traffic, it raises my blogs site stats which in turn raises how much I can charge for advertisers.
hee hee
Thanks!
Even if you remove the link but still have it just typed out and you ask people to copy/paste it, it's still traffic. It's still a hit. It's still an increase in page views and therefore, an increase in MY revenue so please, by all means continue on talking shit about me and asking people to come look at my blog.
I'm loving the traffic!
But can I ask you what you hope to find? What you hope to prove or see?
Yes, I went off on phone calls during the last hurricane and I have that right. My time is mine and I had been up all night and the people whom I spoke with know all too well how much I hate the phone because of how much I am already on it for health reasons.
I spend countless hours on the phone every single day taking care of my own life so yeah, personal chit chat calls annoy me to no end and my true friends know that it is much easier to just shoot me an email than it is to call me because by the time someone calls, I am probably so fed up and have a headache or an earache from talking on it all day.
They know this and understand. Even during a hurricane, they truly do understand where I am coming from.
Call me ungrateful, tell me I'm going to lose all my friends, whatever, my real friends know far more about me than you do and they all understand what my life is like and they hold nothing against me for going off the other day.
In closing, I just want to say, please go get a life of your own. Find something to do. Get a hobby. You'll never be part of my life no matter how much you think you're entitled to be part of it or want to be part of it, it will never happen. You showed me who you really are and people like you, have no place in my life.
He needed his permission slip signed for a field trip today.
I signed it and reminded him 3 times last night to put it in his backpack.
3 times.
Then this morning, I said don't forget your permission slip.
He called me a few minutes ago asking if it was still sitting on the coffee table.
Yes it is.
Can you bring it here by 9am?
No I can't. I can't get to the right bus stop on time, I can't walk that fast, it's cold out, my joints are not working properly, I'm sorry, I reminded you to take it.
But mommmmm.
But Sebastian, I reminded you 3 times last night to take it, I reminded you this morning to take it, I can't get to the bus fast enough to get it to the school before you need to leave. The buses leave on the hour, not before the hour, I won't make it, I don't have a car. I'm sorry. Other kids aren't going so you won't be alone at school. Next time, you'll put it in your backpack when I sign it the first time.
Yes mom.
Sorry buddy.
I love you even if you you're ruining my whole day mom.
I love you even though you woke me back up for your mistake bud.
Sarcasm and guilt, we know it well in this family.
My blog is worth $89,197.32.
How much is your blog worth?
Found at Gigglechicks
Had a very shitty day yesterday and well, I'm going to take this shit where I didn't want to take it but I'm left with no choice.
So I'll be off and on all day.
Hope you all have a good one.
Later days.
There is a new private entry up.
It's a beautiful chilly morning here. The weather is perfect. I love this. All the windows are open and it's just perfect.
Just have some general housecleaning and laundry to do today and then a few projects I want to start but a nice quiet day is gonna be great.
Later days!
I was going through comments to approve and matching their times with my site stats cuz most of them were anon and oh my god funny, it's the same old drama group that used to come around and cause drama on the old message board I am no longer part of and how silly, they actually posted a link from their message board to me.
Get a life ladies. Really. If you can't post your name and working email address when you comment here, it won't be approved. You can comment anon all day/all night if you want but if it's fake, it won't get posted and isn't that what you want? The drama? Need someone new to pick on cuz the others closed down their blogs? I still reserve the right to not post your pathetic drivel anyway so you might as well go find a new sandbox.
Are you that bored with your own lives that you gotta find someone to entertain you?
Damn, still as pathetic as you always were.
Last night, both tbo.com and wwsb.com, were reporting that Sarasota was going to get nailed hard. We were to expect massive power outages and damage because we were going to get hurricane force winds of up to 115mph.
They were really hyping the shit here.
We are 50 miles north of Naples, the target zone.
Now I know, hurricanes are unpredictable, we have all learned this but holy fucking shit, they made it seem like this was going to be the biggest bad ass storm to hit for us in a long time.
They said it was going to hit for us around 2-3am and to expect loss of power right away and all that jazz.
I was up, I was waiting for it because I hate it when I get woken up by a trash can hitting the house of something like that.
We got wind and rain but not even close to what they said. Not even close at all. They had tornado warnings, said there were water spouts over SRQ bay etc etc.If that shit happened at all, it certainly wasn't my part of the county. It's gorgeous here now. Sun is shining, breezy, perfect beautiful weather.
Maybe 60mph if that at all.
Nothing is knocked down, blown over or anything where I live.
They just said that about 20,000 people in SRQ are without power.
Where? Further south like Venice which is part of SRQ county?
There is nothing at all here.
I'm so fucking tired of the armageddon style reporting and yes, I know what happened in New Orleans and what happened in Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda/Arcadia last year. But I'm damn tired of them saying SRQ is gonna die the death of a thousand deaths with each new hurricane that comes and nothing fucking happens.
People panic, people from out of state worry and call me frantically because oh my god look at that map on CNN! It's right over Kat's house for gods sakes! She must be dead!
I was awake until 5:30 am and then just passed out and then the phone started ringing at 9am sharp.
I had already been on the phone since 3am till 5am with Jenni. I don't mind, I was up at that hour waiting for the shit to hit the fan that never came, but I was trying to sleep.
If anything had happened at all here, I swear, I would have called people.
I would have called Jenni to update the blog, I would have called my folks and Shell and my sister to come save us but if you don't get a call from me, just assume it's ok, ok?
I'm not meaning to be a bitch, I appreciate all the love and concern but I swear, I would/will call people if it ever gets bad here or something happens to me or the kids.
I'm just so tired of the way they report this stuff. You're all gonna die.
The storm is over and they have been on all day so far reporting basically nothing, a few areas of the state with trees down, power outages, a gas station fell down in some really, really far south town and they are asking people to email them pictures of anything that got damaged during the storm.
Like begging for them so they can hype this even longer.
It's annoying.
I should go take a picture of the gorgeous blue skies and the kids who had gotten the day off from school cuz this was the end of the world, playing happily outside.
Please, no more phone calls, I'm fucking tired.
Nothing happened here as usual.
I was up most of the night waiting on shit they said was going to happen and it didn't happen and I've had 4 hours of sleep.
If you call here, be prepared to get yelled at out of pure frustration because I'm really fucking tired and you should just check here first anyway.
Yes, I'm getting irritated now after 5 fucking phone calls since 3 fucking am.
Knock it the fuck off.
Sarasota is the safest god damn spot in Florida.
I'm wide awake waiting on hurricane Wilma.
I can hear the winds and rain outside my windows now as she gets closer to making landfall.
It's supposed to hit about 50 miles south of me but we will still get hurricane force winds here and there have been tornado warnings and sightings all night.
Woo hoo!
Aren't ya glad ya don't live here?...lol
I love it here, I can deal with the canes. It's not a huge deal to me. I go to the store, stock up on canned crap food I won't eat anyway but the teens will, get gallons of water and smokes and soda and I'm good to go.
Then comes the boring part, waiting it out.
By morning, we will actually have stronger winds and stuff. I just can't sleep knowing it's so close to landfall.
Not really out of fear, but I hate waking up to loud banging noises and one of my neighbors usually doesn't secure their yard crap before these things hit so naturally, my house gets pelted with trash cans or gay lawn ornaments.
I wish I had a better camera. I'd be outside right now taking pictures of what's going on.
I can hear my neighbors wind chimes whipping up a frenzy. Kind of soothing actually.
Tomorrow during the daylight hours, I'll go grab some pics if anything coolish has happened.
Usually a tree or two falls down but that's really about it.
In the grand tradition of hurricane blogging, I am thrilled to announce, it has begun.
We have wind and rain.
Not too bad yet.
The stations are coming in a little bit shitty but so far so good.
We have food, water, flashlights, batteries, candles, the goods to get through.
I will stay on as long as the power does and when/if it goes, I'll give Jenni a call from the cell and let her know so she can keep you guys updated.
It's supposed to hit south of me but we will feel winds up to 70mph they said so it's a wait and see game what happens.
Later days.
I did not evacuate.
I went out last night and got back about 1 hour ago.
I was up hanging with friends in Port Richey.
I am not evacuating.
My phone(s) work.
I was not here to answer them cuz I was out and the boys slept over my sisters.
Sorry for any worry I may have caused people but I have chosen not to say where I am going or who I am going with until after I get home for safety reasons.
I went out with Kris (he picked me up) and we went and picked up Nikki, ate chinese, played pool and I slept on his couch.
Left his place around 10:30 this am.
I am in one piece, I am fine, no harm has come to me yet.
Thank you for posting and worrying but all is well in Sarasota/Katland.
Later days.
She's been unavailable by phone since last night and she's not online, so you do the math. I'm sure she and the boys are just fine and they're on the road. I'm hoping she'll call me tonight with an update and I'll let everyone know how they're doing.
Wilma may or may not strenghten before she slams into Florida, so the forecast is still uncertain. Damn storm.
Kat knows that I'll update her blog and everything, so I'll be back periodicially with any info I may receive. Have a great Sunday.
-- Jenni
I had that shitty customer service experience earlier in the day but a really good one with Blockbuster just now.
Mark has a pre-paid cell phone through Virgin mobile he got for his birthday in late August.
His phone has been getting these calls from an automated call from Blockbuster about some really late movies ever since he got the phone.
Every time they call, he loses minutes.
Well today, I had his phone so I got the call and the message plays so fast, you can't hear the name of the account holder or the telephone number of the particular store to call back.
So I looked them up, all the stores in my zip code and started calling about the problem.
The first 3 stores said there was nothing they could do to help me and I'd have to call all the local stores to figure out which one this guy has an account at.
That would have been like 30 different stores for my zip code.
I called the 4th one on the list and spoke to Josh.
Josh asked for the cell number and my home number, said it wasn't his store but he'd call me right back with a solution.
He did.
He placed the cell number into the database and pulled up the owners account and deleted the cell number from it and typed in that the account owner would need to update his records.
Mark won't be getting these calls anymore.
Yay!
Now, if Josh was able to do this, why weren't the first 3 stores?
Because it would have taken the persons I spoke to, a few minutes out of their precious day to actually provide customer service, that's why.
I plan on calling Josh's store back and speaking to his manager and thanking him for helping out a 14 year old kid with a pre-paid phone and no Blockbuster account.
Thanks Josh, you rock.
please only send United States Post Office money orders or cash stuffed in a card.
I am thoroughly against banks because of of their new laws, rules etc regarding the patriot act and other bullshit.
I received a money order this morning, one I had been waiting on, and went off to cash it at the bank it was drawn on.
What follows is the bullshit that happened once I arrived at Comerica bank over a money order.
They gave me the hardest fucking time about cashing a money order.
They were going to try and make me deposit it.
I started to throw a fit right there in the bank.
No way in hell should I have to open a bank account to cash a money order. Good fucking grief. They were assholes about it. I said look, it's a money order, already paid for, this isn't a check, it's a money order.
But ma'am, our policies state that we can refuse to cash them for non-account holders and/or require them to deposit or open an account with us in order to get the funds.
I said no fucking way, cash it or I make a huge fucking stink right here. The person who bought the money order is an account holder in Michigan and she sent it to me because hey, money orders are supposed to be easy to be cashed.
But ma'am, we don't normally deal with people who don't have some sort of relationship with a financial institution.
Well, you just did and this is why.
It's my money, she sent it to me from her account in Michigan and this is fucking ridiculous that you won't cash a fucking money order.
Well, we'll do it this one time only ma'am.
Fine, this will be the one and only time I ever come in here for anything ever again and IF I were even thinking about a bank account, it certainly will not be with you.
Fucking shit . Banks are like little mini control centers these days.
Did you ever read their policies? I asked for a copy of them and they asked why, I said because I want to see where it says you don't cash money orders purchased by account holders and sent to non-account holders for myself.
She said it doesn't say it in there. I said well where does it say it then? She said it's not a policy they have in writing.
Uh huh.
Not even downtown really, but sorta halfway downtown. Like the part I never really have a need to go to but today I have to go find this bank that I know is on that street so I'm off.
If I'm not back by dark, send out a search party, I might be lost.
While I'm gone, check out my sponsors would ya? They are helping to pay the bills here lately. Just click 'em...lol

She needs to make up her mind. Where is she going and when.
We are ready no matter what direction or strength she goes but damn, slow down, hurry up, just pick a direction and target please.
I know, silly Kat, telling weather what to do.
It's worth a shot.
No smokes.
No chocolate.
No cat food.
No cat litter.
No toilet paper.
No fucking desperately needed, highly expected money.
I am not having a good day.
I am highly annoyed.
Slightly pissed off.
Upset.
Untrusting.
Disbelieving.
I could go on here with all kinds of shit that is really grating on me today but I'll spare you how aggravated I am with people from all the fuck over.
People here, there, everywhere, holy, players, liars, freaks, whores.
What you see is what you get.
I have no reason to play the fool, the idiot, the psychotic loser who is so desperate for my attention, approval, or more information, that she can't help but find new ways of contacting me.
What for?
To try and explain with a lie the game she played to garner more approval from others at my expense?
Then to cry, piss and moan how mean everyone is to her and oh please, be kind to me today, my life is rough, I cried.
I cried too thinking I had done wrong, somehow, in some way, I ruined friendships of those I respected, but it was her, spinning webs and placing words.
And now she seeks to contact me through many means and I laugh and then wonder, just how many voices does she hear? How does she keep all the lies straight or doesn't it matter anymore? How does she know so much or better yet, why does she care so much about what/where/who everyone is doing all the time.
Live a life of your own.
I really need a fucking smoke.

How mad can one teenage boy get at his mother cuz he misplaced the key to his bike lock at 6:40 in the morning?
Very fucking mad.
Mom: Um, not my bike, not my bike lock, where did you put it.
Mark: I don't know!!! I came home from school yesterday and put it on the coffee table like I always do but You cleaned it off!!!
Me: Uh, think again buddy. Look at the table. Same shit that was there all day, all night and oh look, it's all your shit. Cards, papers, soda bottles, your dinner plate from last night. I didn't clean it cuz I was sorta hoping you'd take care of your own crap here.
Mark: I can't fucking find it!! I'm gonna be late!!! I'm walking and it's all YOUR fault!!!
*slams out the door mumbling how it's my fault*
I cleaned off the table and guess what?
No fucking bike key.
Not on the table, under the table, on the floor, other table, counters, no where.
Betcha $5 it's in his fucking back pack.

Sorry for my absence, I have been busy cleaning and going to the docs and taking care of the boys.
First up, Mark is now in honors English and has a 1431.
What does that mean?
That means he reads on a college sophomore level and is the highest in his class.
*proud momma*
Getting A's and B's.
Sebastian is doing excellent in AOT again this year, A's, B's and a few C's. New teachers, harder math and French this year. It's only first quarter, he'll rock it out in no time.
I finally got my labs done this morning.
I went super early because that stupid lab tech had never been in on any of the 6 times I went there.
I made her take me first. i suggested to my doc that they find a lab tech who ya know, like actually shows up for work once in awhile.
He did his usual poking, prodding, stretching, stressing out over my low blood pressure.
Not normal, not normal
It is for me. I have never been more than 115-120 over 80-85. Ever.
Well that one time my throat was closed up and they thought I had a heart attack.
No, I couldn't breathe so I was panicked.
More referrals to other doctors, more appointments next month. 2 of them. Maybe another if my labs come back screwy.
Concerned about my thyroid and my blood sugar.
I came home and just chilled out for awhile watching tv and snoozing with the kitties.
Made haddock and shrimp and parmesan reds for dinner and now I'm gonna do the dishes and chill out for the night.
Hope you all had a good one.
Later days.
because it's gorgeous outside.
79 with a breeze, 69-71 for overnight.
I opened all the windows but one.
It's stuck.
So I took a screwdriver and a hammer trying to whack it open.
I know, I know, bad move Kat.
The hammer head slipped off of the screwdriver and promptly landed on my middle finger which is now swelling and a lovely shade of purple and blue.
Good thing I have my regular doc appointment tomorrow.
Later days.
brought on by watching a truly disgusting documentary about fatty food and just needed to clean and "be clean".
The house looks and smells fab, orange Lysol is an awesome scent.
So anyway, I did all this cleaning, the dishes, the counters, the cupboard doors, walls, floors, rugs, bathroom tub/sink/toilet/walls/mirrors, dusted everything.
I mean everything. Shit I hadn't moved, or appeared that I hadn't moved , since the day I moved into this duplex 8 years ago. Either dust forms quickly here or I really hadn't touched that stuff in ages.
Scary thought.
Junk that I somehow find worthy sitting on shelves in some memorable fashion and then never touched again.
What was I thinking?
As I was moving this stuff and dusting where it sat and dusting these objects, I found myself thinking 'why did you keep this? Do you even know now what the significance was at the time of the oh my gosh, I must save this empty bottle of Grolsch beer that frankly, I don't even recall drinking?'
Is there a particular reason you have the oddest Chinese fortunes tacked to the shelf above the kitchen sink?
I know why I have the triangular shaped box of Jack Daniels matches on my book shelf in front of both Stephen Kings' Desperation
Those were the books I was reading at the time I was dating Tom F. who turns out was a married man, but he took me to this incredible club that played all the right music and the people were all my taste. I swiped the box of matches and planted them on the shelf.
But why on this great earth did I save an old coke bottle? What is the reasoning behind that?
And do you think that I tossed any of these objects that I can't remember why I saved them?
No.
I dusted them and their resting spots and put them back exactly as I had found them at the beginning of my cleaning rampage.
This says something about me but what, I couldn't even begin to tell you.
I'm not a pack rat either. Stuff gets tossed out in this house faster than my kids can say did you sign that permission slip yet, so I know I'm not just hoarding useless garbage here. There is a reason to this collection madness but it's lost to me.
Hopefully, now that I've recognized these odds and ends again, their reasons will come to me in the middle of some nights dreaming and I'll wake up with an a-ha moment and be able to relish in whatever memory they had.

I borrowed the movie Super Size Me
Like totally nastified grossed out.
We don't eat out often at all, like maybe once every couple of months do we get McDonalds, well, last weekend was bad but that very rarely happens.
It will never happen again.
Ever.
I mean I know that shit is bad for you anyway, but ugh, I had no idea it could cause the same effects to your liver as drinking does.
And the whole soda thing, wow.
People give me crap for my diet soda addiction but compared to regular soda and even canned lemonade drinks like I bought the boys today, I am like so not doing that much harm to myself.
The sodium is the only bad thing in it.
So I got done watching it and decided to do the dishes and then I started cleaning the kitchen and now have enough energy to just clean everything.
I just want to clean things now...lol
So I'm gonna go clean stuff now.
Later days.
It's a really big one, tons of old people, too many screwed up aisles etc etc.
I got rammed like 9 times by old people.
I started swearing.
I became slightly psychotic by the time I was done shopping.
Like if I had had a gun on me, I would have started shooting gray hairs.
Damn.
Never going to that one again.
I'm super tired now and need to eat and try and get some rest.
I'm starting to catch a wicked head cold and I feel like hell.
Blech.
Later days.
Doing laundry, dishes, some cleaning.
Need to get in for blood tests tomorrow.
Remind me.
K, thanks.
Not much going on around here at all, just the usual household stuff and crap like that.
Bored outta my damn mind.
Need more sleep I think.
Later days.
Sent the teens to school, went back to bed.
Considering doing it again.
Please read now.
My stomach is totally fucking hating me.
I ate badly this weekend and today.
Bad Kat.
Burger at like 3 am Sunday morning after partying.
Burger for lunch with fries and a shake.
Wings and fries for dinner.
Taco smell today.
Yeah, it hates me.
Never got to do my tests today which would help explain the drastic weight loss I have been doing but I swear, I will go tomorrow. I put it off for like 3 weeks already and need to have it done before next Tuesday.
Doc gonna be mad I stalled so long but I'm so sick and tired of being poked and prodded and needled and bent and xrayed and MRId and shit like that.
I'm so over this crap.
Just fix my back, tell me what the weight issue is, don't make me take insulin and I will be a happy girl.
Ugh. I hate this shit.
Find the hidden meaning of your name.
Birth name, Kathleen:
Energetic and courageous you stand up for your beliefs and for what you desire. You are independent, strong willed and fiercely competitive when needed although your ambition is tempered with patience. You maintain a positive attitude and with a more organised or practical approach to life material success is very likely. Your immensely loving and generous nature brings joy into peoples lives and ensures your happiness.
What I'm called, Kat:
With your witty, knowledgeable conversation and enthusiastic, adventurous nature you are much admired by the opposite sex and enjoy many varied experiences in life. Being so versatile and intelligent you are extremely creative but you have a short attention span if you are not being stimulated intellectually. Restless and energetic you are a natural risk taker and love to travel and broaden your horizons. Freedom is essential.
I need some lab work done and I didn't want to do it today but Nikki dragged my ass all the way out there and the lab tech came in at 10 and left again.
The power of my brain amazes me. ;)
Really.
I switched the laundry but teh rest of it hasn't moved much.
Damn.
I suck.
Kids are up and off to school, laundry is started, need to do the dishes and clean the house and then do some work, answer emails etc.
Gonna be a busy day here.
I'll check in during cleaning breaks.
Later days.
Life on Mars wasn't playing tonight. Something about the lead singer having to go to Bermuda.
Having to go? Wow dude, sucks for you. :/
So this other band, American Supermodels was playing in their place and they were shit faced and sucking. The lead singer is quitting at the end of the year and so there is tension between them all and it's coming across in the music.
Just go already, quit making it worse for the whole band and the people who are stuck listening to your sorry ass suck at singing because you're a whiny fucktard.
Shut up, get off the stage, go home asswipe.
The other guys in the band are cool though and have a tight sound.
The bassist gave me a cd cuz I was like
man, listen, it's sunday night, there's maybe 20 people in the bar, quit playing 80's and play something original for me.
check this out. We hate playing 80's but this is siesta key beach man, this is what the bars pay us to do.
So we're back home now to my trashed house.
teenage boys left alone somehow manage to use every single dish I own this weekend and I was only gone one night and yet they complained there was nothing to eat.
Really? How did you manage to dirty all this shit then?
Anyway, in the morning, I will reply to comments and emails and shit like that and then I have a house to clean and some work to do.
Not much but work is work and I'm greatful for it.
Thank you for the gift too. You know who you are, thanks. I totally appreciate it and will send you an email in the morning.
Later days.
Got home about 3pm, took a nap till 7pm, went shopping, took a shower and now I'm smoking a cig while my hair dries before we go back out.
Heading down the beach club to see life on mars, a fun 80's band. They play the obscure punk 80's that didn't get mainstream radio play and they throw in a few normal ones for the people who have no idea who any of those others bands are.
Heh.
I am so fucking tired I can't even begin to tell you but fun is fun and I can recoup tomorrow right?
Right?
Later days.
I went to a dueling piano bar in Channelside last night.
That was so much fun. They took requests, played anything, had people dancing on stage and mooning the crowd and shit.
I won a bucket of booze for the people we went with who drank.
They played this game where you had to guess all the dirty words they omitted from a song. There were 20 words. I got them all.
Yeah, my cursing comes in handy sometimes...lmao
They got a bucket of long island ice tea. Holy shit, it was huge!
Then we went next door to the other club with a live band and that was a ton of fun too. I know I'm not supposed to dance (doctors orders) but they played the Cure man. I had to...lol
Yes I am paying for it today but it was fun.
Holy crap, Nikkis' brother and his crew are such a fucking riot. I would totally party with those people again any fucking time.
They cracked me up all night long and were just crazy mother fuckers.
Grabbing tits and ass and dancing like nutballs on crack. hahha Good times man.
Shit, if I was drinking, I probably wouldn't have had as much fun watching them.
I am so going back to that place again. I can totally deal with that kind of stuff for a good time.
I'll be heading home from Nikkis in a little while.
Later days.
That was time consuming.
I have a headache now.
That is why I didn't do it sooner. I just didn't want to have to check each and every blog I had linked to to see if a) they were still blogging or b) they gave up on my sorry ass these last few months.
A lot of people gave up on me.
Oh well.
I was having a rough time man.
It's not an excuse but sometimes words failed me and I stopped talking trying to sort it out.
I did a lot of fun things, I did some stupid things, oh god did I do some stupid things, and I did some shit people would have been pissed about and I did some things I was pissed about but it's all better now.
I think. :/
Later days.

9.Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after?
Hahaha! No.
10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?

11. Do you have a job?
Yes and no. I work when I have work to do.
12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?
Holy fuck yeah! Of course, I'd have to tell my parents to stop reading. I do hold back a lot because I know they are reading to see how I am and sometimes I even put warnings on posts like mom, dad, stop reading right here. Naked pics/lots of foul loathsome words behind the cut.
13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
Kim, Jenni, Robyn, Solonor (my blog daddy) and tons of others but those come to mind first.
14. Which bloggers have you made out with? (a)In real life? (b)In fantasy?
(a)none (b)none.
15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?
Well we all know I have shit for money so why fake it?

My name has been around since 2000 but it has gone from host to host and this one has been at the new host since February.

No.
21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?

Yes. It's all about me baby.
23. Do you feel guilty when you don't post for a long time?
Sometimes. But sometimes I'm just going through such a rough time I can't find the words to write it out and not have people think I've gone off the deep end. I get a lot of are you ok emails when I take time off. I don't cut myself folks, stop thinking crazy shit like that.

It really is very cool. Purple, blue, black and blond streaks.
My camera just isn't picking teh colors up so you'll just have to take my word for it that it rocks.
I went mostly the black color because of all the highlight colors in it.
It is just so neat looking.
Blog, how I have missed thee..lol
Ok, really, I just got home about 10 minutes ago, checked emails and shit like that and now just sorta goofing off for a few minutes before I go do the hair messing up.
I'm going completely blond and then when it's all rinsed out and dried, I'm doing all the under hairs and some streaks in blue/black.
Ha!
This is gonna be fun.
I miss doing crazy shit to my hair.
I used to do messed up crap to it all the time but then I stopped for the sake of fitting in.
What fun is that??
No fun I tell ya!
And ya know, I never truly fit anyways.
That's just being truthful.
See, girls like me, we don't fit in with other people very well at all.
We say what's on our minds and say fuck it if you don't like it and people can't deal with that at all.
Really.
Whether it intimidates them or makes them uncomfortable or whatever, they don't like it and ya know what? Fine. Eat it.
I gave it my best shot at trying to fit in and up to peoples standards of what I should be and lost myself along the way.
It took a really stupid move (on my part) to make me realize that what works for other people, will never work for me at all.
I am not a giggle headed bimbo, I won't laugh at your lame ass jokes, I will not cower to your thoughts of superiority just because you think you're better than me. I am not now nor will I ever be your standard of what a woman should be.
It's that simple.
So have a tune that I listened to today on my many adventures around SRQ. I listened to some other great stuff too but maybe I'll post some of that later if you be good and leave comments.
Did that entry this morning scare ya?...lmao
Sorry, I was in a right set mood this morning and just had to get some shit out and off my chest.
Speaking of chests, if you go to the boobiethon page and have access to the private superdee duper page and correctly guess which pic is mine, and make another small donation (c'mon, it's for a good cause) and send me proof that you did, I'll send you another pic!
Yeah, I'm totally whoring myself to save the boobies!..lol
Don't be a dick, always right click. (and save as)
The Bitch is back-Elton John gone.
Yeah, so uh, yesterday was fucked up.
I fucked up things.
Won't happen again.
I have to go out this morning for awhile, stuff to do and things to waste money on.
Yay.
It's all about me today and fuck off if you don't like it. I mean that. I don't give a rats ass about you today at all. Don't care. Don't want to hear it. Go gush/whine/piss/moan/cry/squeal somewhere else.
I have webwork stuff to take care of when I get home, stuff to mail, money orders to get etc etc.
I truly suck sometimes.
Sorry if the stuff I was supposed to do for you hasn't gotten done yet. I was busy being an ass.
What's that? You don't forgive me?
I really was busy being a stupid girly ass and I swear it won't happen again.
Swear it.
And it's ok if you don't forgive me. Really. I don't forgive myself either.
My plans this weekend include dying my hair some fucked up colors and staying home beating myself up.
I'd elaborate for ya but damn, how embarrassing and well, fuck it. I don't want to embarrass myself twice in the same week.
Thanks anyway.
I did do my pic for the thon.
It's on the big donors page. Ha! Sorry about that. I didn't think it was that bad/naked that it needed to go there but that's where it is.
I need a better cam.
Dear Santa,
Give Kat a better digi for xmas so next years pic can be really fucking good...lmao
Ok, gotta get dressed and head out to do all the stuff I need to do today and then come home and fuck up my hair.
If I can get a good shot of it after I do it, I'll post it.
Later days.
And a good swift kick to the head.
My day sucked. Ran around like a mad woman getting shit done. Paid the bills.
Took care of business stuff.*
I'm tired, I'm sore, no one to play with online. That sucks. I just want to be silly now that all the pissy stuff is over with and none can play with me. Too busy, working, sleeping. Fine, whatever.
I keep making mistakes. I'm screwing shit up and I don't mean to. I don't know why this has to be so hard ya know?
Girl likes boy.
A lot.
Girl talks to boy when she can.
Boy plays games.
Beats around bush, is complicated
Girl sticks foot in mouth.
Repeatedly.
Says dumb shit.
Really dumb shit.
Good god someone shoot me.
*Not talking about that shit here.
I'm up and staying up. I have to go out today and ride all over hell to pay the bills.
Not looking forward to it but it must be done.
I'm late..lol
I was supposed to do all of this on Monday but I had Sebastians thing to do and that took a lot of time and so I didn't and then yesterday, I just sat around all day talking on yahoo to people and replying to emails and such.
I'm late. Ugh.
I can't get started till the kids leave and I don't want to go at all really.
It's gonna rain today.
Apparently some big storm is coming and so scattered showers.
Now, with my luck, scattered showers means every time I get off the bus and have to walk or wait for any length of time, it will rain.
My life demands fucked up shit like that.
I should buy some triple a batteries before I get started so I can take pictures of my day.
I miss doing that.
I see some screwed up crap when I go downtown..lol
I think I will.
Picture time!
I do need to get batteries anyway. I'm so late getting my pic for the thon. I do it every year and this year, I'm way late.
Sorry.
I feel bad about that.
Promise, will do it today.
I was going to do something with a sticker this year, kill two birds with one stone kind of thing but have since decided against it.
Not worth my boobies man...lmao
hahaha
I know you have no idea what I'm talking about, just trust me when I say it's not worth it to do the sticker thing. I'll think of some other thing to do for the shot.
I have half the day on the bus to think about it...lol
Ok, kids are getting showered and dressed and will be heading out soon and then I need a shower and have to head out to get my stuff done.
Kinda blows.
No playing for me today.
I'd really rather stay and play.
Later days.
Sebastians new big brother.
His name is Dave and he's really cool.
Sebastian is stoked about it.
The guy has traveled the world and knows languages and likes all the same stuff so it's a good match.
He is going to China for 10 days and is going to email Sebastian pics of his trip.
Nice guy.
My cell phone fell in the water bowl. It's toast.
I was late all day long.
But because I seriously stalled because I was talking to people who drive me up the wall in bad and good ways.
My bills are late because I was late all day.
My own fault.
I stalled because I was talking to people who drive me up the wall in good and bad ways.
I had frozen pizza twice today.
Because it's the easiest thing to cook when you're too busy talking to people who drive you up the wall in good and bad ways.
And now, I'm tired and no one is on to talk to drive me up the wall in good and bad ways.
Later days.
She brought me an awesome headboard for my bed and a livestrong bracelet that says up yours.
Hahaha!
She knows me so well. 
Later!
If you can say one thing to several people and not to the people whom it should be directed, you cannot then turn around and cry foul when your words come back and bite you in the ass.
That is being a hypocrite.
If you talk about someone behind their back and it gets back to them, really, who do you have to blame when that person finds out and acts upon that information?
Yourself and only yourself.
You can stand as high on any righteous mountain you so feel justified in standing on but the truth is, you got back what you put out.
You must learn to deal with the consequences of your own big mouth.
EDIT* I so love conversational terrorism man.
I really do.
I love how people can play that game and call themselves "good".
I am finding myself again and with it, I am finding how much I despise people like this.
Can you act like a child a bit more? God I hope so cuz it's truly funny to watch you try and belittle me again and I'm not playing your game this time.
Hahahaha!
Not super great but better than the emotional wreck I was yesterday.
And yes, before anyone lectures me, I know taking a lot of pain killers is bad but I just wanted to be numb for awhile and it worked.
I haven't touched weed or booze in years.
Not that I wouldn't if it was put in front of me. I am really weak right now and would do some shit in a major way if I had it.
That's nothing to get worried about folks. I don't have the funds for extra shit like that and I don't go taking lots of pills just for fun and numbness either. I took a few extra just once cuz I was hurting emotionally and physically. That is the addict in me. Can't fucking help it sometimes.
My demon comes out occasionally.
Ric, do I know you? You obviously know the situation on a somewhat personal level or your comment wouldn't have been so dead on.
Email me if ya want.
Went out today to a Passion party. That was fun.
It was something to do and it made me giggle so yeah, I'm cheered up a bit.
Just chilling at home now. Nikki and Griffin are here for the night so we are on both pcs as we usually do and talking on yahoo and the kids are watching a movie.
Just relaxing.
Hope y'all had a good one.
Later days.
