25 Random Things
I was tagged in a 25 Random Things about me on Facebook. I’m posting it here.
1. I hate dressing up. I think I always have. I’d rather be in jeans and chucks and a hoodie than heels and a dress. I’m the least girly/grown-up person I know.
2. I don’t like being around people who are worried about being appropriate all the time. My kind of people are the people who laugh at fart jokes or make inappropriate comments at the dinner table. Maybe it’s classless, but I think it makes life more interesting.
3. I love to dance and sing... Especially when I embarrass Karson!!
4. I’m a really good cook and I love entertaining. I can't wait to have my own place again so I can entertain!!
5. I have a crazy dog!! Actually, she's Karson's...but...I'm the one who takes care of her...
6. I’m not above drinking boxed wine. But not that Franzia crap. Bota Box is decent. Black Box is also decent. I justify it as being more environmentally friendly and economical.
7. I love my job as a mom!!
8. I am lucky. Just in general. I find myself in oddly lucky situations.
9. I never missed The O.C.!! I watched it every week!
10. I can type close to 90 WPM.
11. I am quick to make friends. If I like you and feel a connection right off the bat, we will be friends for life. By the same token, if for some reason you rub me the wrong way or I don’t really feel like we have anything in common or anything to say to one another, you’ll immediately be shifted into the “people I don’t really care for” category. Maybe that’s mean, but that’s what happens.
12. Someday I want to write a book. It has been a dream of mine for years...I can't tell you how many itmes I have started and stopped!! And when I do finally write it...all of you have to buy it!! No freebies... LOL
13. On average, I drink 2 large cups of coffee in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.
14. I would love to interview a celebrity! I just think it would be cool!
15. I love to blog!! And I love to read different blogs....DAILY.... I love reading what's happening on PW's ranch. http://thepioneerwoman.com/
16. I’ve love to Twitter. I’ve made amazing friends, found job opportunities… all with the help of Twitter.
17. I still use MySpace...but I don't go to it daily like I used to...
18. At times, I have the attention span of a 4 year old. I can’t sit still. I get bored easily. Relaxing is hard for me.
19. I have questionable music taste. As in, I love pop and all of the soft rock hits from the 70’s, 80s, 90’s and today. I like stuff I can sing to. Loudly.
20. As I get older, my shopping obsession has turned from clothes to housewares. And I love Etsy for original stuff.
21. Other than missing my family and friends, I would love to move away!!!
22. I could give up chocolate, but never cheese. I’m a savory kind of gal.
23. I have a blog and it’s pretty awesome (and you are reading it right now).
24. I love my new phone...even though it is smarter than me! I'm still trying to figure the crazy thing out!!
25. Karson is my world!! I wouldn't know what to do without her!

....
Ok...it's been a while since I posted... I know...I know...
Been busy...all I can say!
We had spring break.....cleaned Karson's room...didn't get rid of as much as I wanted to of course!...but...at least I got started... Then we went to MiMi and Kenneth's in Louisiana....and had a BLAST!!! It's always fun to stay up most of the night and have 'girl talk' with your 'sisters'!!! We will have to do that again....SOON!!!!! We did go to the casino one night...and had a blast!! We went to the Louisiana Nursery Festivle in Forrest Hill, LA while we were there. I bought a Japanese Magnolia... I had one at my house in town before I sold it and I loved it... Dad used to like it too....he said it looked really nice there by the driveway... So - when we were going back to MiMi's from our shopping spree Friday evening (before JAS got there - she was mad that we went shopping without her - but she got over it...she ended up getting a shirt out of it...lol) we were going through downtown Pineville....and I almost had a heart attack.... I look up and the street sign says...Leroy St. ...I wanted that sign!! After JAS got there that night...we went back to see if we could get it...Yes...I am almost 34 and wanted to steal the street sign!! Lord, please forgive me! BUT...the good Lord was working against us...it wouldn't come off!!! So, I didn't get my sign to be put next to my new tree...but...I did get my tree and got it planted finally yesterday. It looks pretty good...it just needs to grow...so probably in 20 years...it will be big enough to be really pretty...LOL...
Anyways...that's all I have been up to... See ya and love ya!

The Middle Place...
Okay...so I started reading The Middle Place. It's about a lady named Kelly that finds out she has breast cancer... I know...you are probably asking yourself "Why on Earth is Kari reading a book about that...now??"....well...I actually think it will help me get through all of this better... Mee Maw goes EVERY day for radiation treatments for her breast cancer...don't know for sure after she's done if she will have to have chemo (they said she probably wouldn't) or if she will have to have surgery again (since the doctor didn't get it all the first time like she "thought" she did)!! So...I'm reading it... It's also about the relationship between her and her dad... A LOT like my relationship with my dad... I have laughed and cried while reading this book...and I'm only about five chapters into it!! Anyway...I will update again once I have read it more...
BUT....here are a few more pics from our Girls Day Out photo shoot!!
