Slacker? Who? Me?

My name is Kate. I am a total slacker when it comes to blogging.

Ok, seriously these last couple weeks have just been busy. Between teaching Adrienne, trips to the library, and Genevieve's birthday this past Sunday (not to mention piles of laundry and dishes that I need to do every day) there just hasn't been as much time for blogging as I would like. But my mood always suffers from the lack of it.

When I write out my witticisms and frustrations it just makes me happier, I think. Not happy as in joyful, but it helps relieve the stresses of the day. And lemme tell ya, this past week in particular has been rather stressful.

Xander is teething, he has a runny nose, and a mild diaper rash. Adrienne has a runny nose. I have had some serious congestion, too. Luckily the worst of it struck after Genevieve's birthday. (Which Charlotte fought valiantly to claim as her own. She lost, but accepted defeat graciously... mostly...)

I re-created my Valentine's Day cake with a few alterations. (It was amazing.) We had the neighborhood kids over for cake and ice cream out in the yard. It was super windy so we wound up moving everything around the corner of the house. As soon as cake was eaten and presents were open Genevieve decided she was cold and wanted to go back inside. Really she just wanted to play with her loot.

I really don't have anything funny or exciting to report. I just felt neglectful and needed to write something.

I bought a new blender at WallyWorld last week. It's just a cheapie Osterizer (25 bucks FTW) but it actually crushes the ice down to a smooth snowiness. I am pretty much in love. Margaritas all summer! I also told Matt that I want to buy a rug steam cleaner of some sort. Our rugs are getting gross and I think it'd be cheaper in the long run rather than hiring someone to come in and clean them for us.

I'm bored.

do people really know me?

So I keep getting these "Your Friend Answered a Question About YOU!" notifications on facebook. I added the application to see what they were saying and deleted it because I'm just not that interested in having that crap fill my notifications with garbage. The questions were kind of funny, though. So I copied them to share here. The real answers are in bold.

Do you think that Kate knows what a fist pound is? Yes Yes. Who doesn't?

Do you think that Kate has ever failed a class? No Yes. Guess they don't know my academic history very well.

Do you think that Kate is superficial? No I might be but I like to think the answer is no.

Do you think that Kate has ever slapped anyone? Yes Guilty as charged.

Do you think that Kate brushes their teeth regularly? Yes Of course I do. People who don't are gross, and I am not gross.

Do you think that Kate has ugly teeth? No After nearly 4000 in orthodontic bills they damn well better not be.

Do you think that Kate has ever played beer pong? Yes I have not. I have, however, beer bonged. I bonged a word? I don't think so, but whatever.

Do you think that Kate puts 'hoes' before 'bros'? No This one doesn't even make sense in my life.

Do you think that Kate is materialistic? No I'm going to go with no... but I probably actually kind of am.

Do you think that Kate is cute? Yes My ego is happy.

Do you think that Kate has ever been in a fist fight? Yes When I was 11 I punched a snotty boy in the gut and boxed his ears. Does that count?

Do you think that Kate is tone deaf? No I am.
