How's Life?

Fri, 02 May 2008 02:26:28 GMT

I've been doing OK. Going to work every weekday. I'm been working out at work at the fitness center. It make me feel great and full of positive energy. I worked out Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I have been trying to get into the habit of doing 10 minutes on the elliptical and that translates to burning about 125 cal. Then I work out on the weight machines, and then I do some sit-ups. The fitness center and locker rooms are NICE.

I didn't work out today because I am sick and I think it's PMS. I always feel this way before *cough*, I hate the sudden hormones and menstration for a week. My emotions also get affected, like today I was very depressed fo no good reason. This evening I drank like 4 glasses of water and haven't drained it. I'm so thirsty and look like a bloated cow!

Today we had a book fair at work, how cool is that? I found some cook books. I got this book that was shaped like a cheeseburger and it had like 25 different recipes for making burgers. I also got one for Joe and think he will appreciate that as a nice gift. The only other book I bought was this campbell's easy recipe book. Lots tasty, simple ideas!

Yesterday I rode my bike on the monon greenway and through downtwon to the Carmel Library. My bike lock was a b**** to rewind after I was done with the library. There were nice cameras outside so I didn't so bad leaving my helmet, gloves, and jacket in my basket on the bike.

It was like walking into a rich, upperclass place. They had a coffee shop in there, a sandwich shop, a library store, plenty of cozy places to sit, plenty of cozy places for people to study, private conference rooms, quiet rooms, a board room, wireless internet, an audio-visual department that looked a good size like Border's.. Even more so on the outside there were a line of cars parked outside along the curve, cadillac escalade, mercedes, big suv's each parent picking their kids up from the library.

They even have a gerbil webcam. Isn't he cute?

Forgot buying new DVDs, going to blockbuster, or even the $1/night DVD machine, these are free and new releases!

I checked out some books on retirement investing cause I need to figure out what to do with my previous job's 401k and cash balance pension. I also got an audio CD... I'm going to listen to it on my computer and.. *cough*

Happiness! :)

Got lots of things to do this weekend:

Clean

Grocery/Supply shopping

Unpack my office room!

Unpack stuff!

Groom the cats

Read

Relax!

Hope I don't have killer cramps tomorrow :(

mosquito ring tones

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:21:57 GMT

So you know of that mosquito ring tone that is stirring controversy? Well I went to a website that played it

http://www.teenbuzz.org/

Here you can see categories of frequencies that you are supposed to hear. The highest frequency that I can hear is 14 kHz (45 years and younger), which means my ears are bad for my age =27.

I'd be PISSED if I had to put up with that and I would never patonize businesses that had that noise device.

My Website

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:02:10 GMT

My domain KatieGirl.Net is and has been having DNS problems. I've been in contact for the tech support for a couple weeks and they now suspect there is a rogue DNS server out there that did not get the new server address for my domain. They moved my site to a new server and since this has happened, I've been having problems seeing my site. It comes up with a GTRHosting.com site. This is annoying me.!! They are looking into this for me.

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 03:59:11 GMT

Did some unpacking.

Moved my stereo from my office to my living room. I've got space under a kitchen counter that is open to my living room. I took a bookshelf and modified it as a storage/display shelf for my living room. I placed my stereo on top, speakers in each corner. It looks COOL. Got to take some photos sometime. I'm wanting to finish the rest of the apartment before I take photos but probably won't

My office is still unfinished.

Hopefully my stereo now won't wake up my neighbor

Going to Church Orientation

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 02:23:17 GMT

Something that has been on my personal to-do list. I've been moving so much the past few years and after a problem that I should NOT have experienced with one of the parish staff at a catholic church in Wheaton, IL I unofficially left the catholic church in 2005.

Anyways, I've been telling myself I'm going to look into going back to church. Although I was catholic I am going to look into a non-denominational christian church community where people are closer to each other. I liked the catholic rituals but I felt alientaed in the wheaton church because I was so young and everybody else was older and had families and didn't talk to me. They didn't even have a singles group. I got involved and taught a sunday school class but still felt unwelcome. The problem referred to above is what really made me leave the church.

Regarding the churh I'll be visiting called "Common Ground", I have heard from multiple people that this church community has a good representation of a young adult community and offers smaller group orientated worship.

I'm excited to be going to an orientation session this Friday and Saturday. I hope to renew my worship and religious study and meet good people.

I just want to say how much I love my new job !!!

I worked out today in the new fitness center, it is awesome to have a fitness center at work :) I'm a very happy employee and hopefully will be healthy soon.

After work I tried out my new bicycle on the Monon trail. I'll have to post some photos of my beautiful new bicycle. But the day was beautiful and the trail beautiful. They are selling new townhouses starting at 150k right on the trail. That would be neat to have one of those.. but I've got to put my time in at my new job. I'd ideally like to move into a new house with a man and a ring on my finger... we will see what the future brings.

I just want to say

I AM HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, somebody is so totally trying to hack my youtube username and password. This is like the 5 notice that I've gotten saying my password was requested....

Crazy!

Movie Review

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 02:49:56 GMT

Today I watched a movie called "ShopGirl" written by Steve Martin. He also casted as Ray Porter in the movie.

Shopgirl

The move is definately worth watching. I actually saw this in the movie theatre when it came out and my friend from France was kind enough to purchase this through Amazon.com as a gift. (BTW, is it odd that I have an Amazon.com wish list and someone actually buys me DVD gifts?, my boyfriend doesn't like it but I've gotten some nice DVDS from this pen pal in France.)

In the movie Mirabelle as played by Claire Danes is a poor single young lady who came out of college with a load of debt. I assume she earned an art degree. Like many starving artists I think it is hard to get started in the business. She took a job as a shop girl.

Surprisingly for her job she is still able to afford a car (in LA), an apartment, reasonable furniture, gas, and get by. She is a size 2. Very skinny and very beautiful. I would like to be a size 2...........

She dates Ray Porter who is TWICE her age. He is RICH but not arrogant.

Now I myself think older men are attractive, but not that old. It is social taboo unless you live in like a third-world country or are a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Do you think teens should be pressured to marry this guy? Now girls, doesn't this guy look S-C-A-R-Y?!!

One of my girlfriends mentioned that while she was college age she had a relationship with a man in his 40's.
Would you ever do that? I have an age limit myself. I think it would be 10 yrs more than me. Is that too old? (My dad is probably reading this and thinking that I'm crazy......)

In the movie, Mirabelle is so devoid of love that she decides to fool around with this man. I originally thought she was just wanting sexual attention, but the author Steve Martin, did convey that Mirabelle, like so many women, need more, need to be truly loved.

Well Mirabelle, I'd saw take some advice from your friend Lisa in the movie and get some of the toys she has, aka get a ******** :)

The movie is definately a good romantic chic-flic and touches on your romantic emotions. Good Job Steve Martin, and for man you seem to understand women!

ADVICE FROM AN OLD
TENNESSEE MOUNTAIN MAN

Your fences need to be
horse-high, pig-tight
and bull-strong.

Keep skunks
and bankers
and lawyers
at a distance.

Life is simpler
when you plow
around the stump.

A bumble bee
is considerably
faster than
a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak
into your ears
are whispered...
not yelled.

Meanness
don't jes'
happen
overnight.

Forgive your enemies.
It messes up
their heads.

Do not corner something
that you know is
meaner than you.

It don't take
a very big person
to carry a grudge.

You cannot unsay
a cruel,
or unkind word.

Every path has
a few puddles.

When you wallow with pigs,
expect to get dirty.

The best sermons
are lived,
not preached.

Most of the stuff
people worry about
ain't never gonna
happen anyway.

Don't judge folks
by their relatives.

Remember that silence
is sometimes
the best answer.

Live a good,
honorable life.
Then when you get older
and think back,
you'll enjoy it
a second time.

Don't interfere
with somethin'
that ain't botherin'
you none.

Timing has
a lot to do with
the outcome
of a rain dance.

If you find yourself
in a hole,
the first thing to do
is stop diggin'.

Sometimes you get,
and sometimes
you get got.

The biggest troublemaker
you'll probably ever
have to deal with,
watches you from
the mirror
every mornin'.

Always drink
upstream
from the herd.

Good judgment
comes from
experience,
and a lotta that
comes from
bad judgment.

Lettin' the cat
outta the bag
is a whole lot easier
than puttin' it back in.

If you get to thinkin'
you're a person
of some influence,
try orderin'
somebody else's
dog around.

Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Leave the rest
up to God.

RE: Seniors Speak Out Against Possible ComEd Rate Hike

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 03:50:22 GMT

The Article is Here

I totally believe the cost of copper wires and transformers have gone up. People have to realize that they need to factor in inflation and investment into the rates. That kind of static budgeting hurts investments in aging infrastructure and compensating to attract and retain talented employees.

Wake up people, the cost of living in Illinois Chicagoland is horrible.

You've got

Working class family homes running 300k+ needing 50K+ in repairs

8K+ property taxes

Tolls and Toll roads

Corrupt cops and justice system

Government Waste and too many layers

People can't have guns to defend themselves

Grocery prices.. and taxes on groceries

Taxes on gas

Too many handouts to lazy people who don't want to work

Too many illegal immigrants

Too much traffic problems, 2 hr commutes

Salaries not in-line with cost of living/inflation

Families on dual incomes and they still can't afford all the above

A recipe for disaster

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 03:31:47 GMT

It's Thursday and I am wishing it were Friday.

I miss Joe. He did so much for me this past weekend when he visited. He helped me get motivated to unpack and assemble quite a few things. He's such a good guy and I feel awful for leaving him in Aurora. But I feel awesome with this great apartment and career opportunity. I don't know how long all this will last or how life will turn out 1 year, 5 yrs from now but I hope I'm alive. healthy, and happy. There are going to be sometimes that I feel lonely.

I'm going to orientation for a church in a few weeks. I hope this works out for me and I meet some nice people and a community to worship with.

Tonight I assembled my CD/cassette stereo set. The volume was set on medium but I think because of the speakers and location near the window it disturbed my neighbor and she knocked on my door to politely ask me to turn it down. I am going to have to find a new location for the stereo because I was not blasting it. Sound can travel down the window area, and it was at a corner area of the wall.

My new office is starting to turn out ok. I'm still unpacking it...

Ok, it is time to go to bed now!

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 02:25:52 GMT

What is my neighbor doing? I'm hearing banging on the walls from below and I heard a dog howl...????????!!!!!!!!

EDIT

YES, I believe that was because of my stereo

The MouseTrap Story

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 03:03:57 GMT

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

What food might this contain? The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning:
There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me."" I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said, I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.

"Be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital , and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main Ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT AND LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.

REMEMBER,,,,

EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;

OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.

One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend

Very Inspirational

It's Saturday Night

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 02:14:43 GMT

I'm sipping on a diet coke, jamming to smashing pumpkins. I don't give a shit about anything except me and now. It's nice to be free to do whatever I want because I'm an adult and am n charge of me.

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Cast the pearls aside, of a simple life of need
Come into my life forever
The crumbled cities stand as known
Of the sights you have been shown
Of the hurt you call your own
Love is suicide

Dead eyes, are you just like me?

I'm in a heavy metal mood :0
