SOME of your dreams will be coming true this coming month.
I say "some" for a specific reason. Not because only some will come true. Some because a few of you (aka Mom, Dad, Kristin/Chad and maybe John Cochran) will perceive my next statement as a dream come true... Ludacris (spelling intentional) as that may seem.
I am going to blog for every day in April!!
Some coworkers and I have a "blog challenge" going on to dust off our writing chops and concentrate our efforts for the month of April. Who knows what it will lead to? No one. That's who. Maybe enlightenment, maybe excessive ridiculousness and maybe a new found love for the discipline of it all.
Join me, won't you?
If Annie doesn't mind, I will be borrowing her theme of plowing through the alphabet for themes. We'll be starting on Wednesday, April 1st (no, seriously.. hehe) with the letter A for "anticipation". I can sense your anticipation. Get excited!! :)
See ya on the interwebs, my dahlings!

Light Up My Life
I have a new love...
Its name is "Friday Night Lights". Its serious. like... serious, serious.
For the sake of full disclosure, I will admit that I have watched (thanks to my *other* love Hulu.com) 37 episodes in one week. That is not counting the two regularly aired episodes I have taken in as well. They aire on NBC on, well, Friday nights.
Friends, it is with ZERO embarrassment that I admit this. Something has taken me over! I defy you to watch the trailer and remain uninterested. Is it my southern football-obsessed town upbringing? Is it my love for those extremely well-developed characters? Is it that I want to BE Tammy Taylor when I'm a wife? Is it that I would embarrass myself if I were within 100 yards of any of them? No one knows. Its too hard to tell.
Something happened last night. A couple of somethings.
1. I caught up... as in, there are no new episodes for me watch.
2. They/we are victims of the unfortch writers strike last year... there's SO many lost episode opportunities.
I know you're probably just adjusting to the fact that I consider these characters real people. That's cool- I get it. But for real, y'all... Its just so good and it is beyond sad that I must wait (in eager expectation) for more.
I'm starting to annoy myself, but I'll leave you with this... "Clear Minds. Full Hearts. Can't Lose!"
In other news, Tonight is a bluegrass jam bday celebraysh for Nathan and Stevie. Should be really fun.
Furthermore, today is KATHERINE'S birthday!! WOO HOO!!! 30 and fabulous! I love you, KC. Hope you have the best day! xooxx Baby Kate is 2 today! SO crazy how time flies... and how very many birthdays there are in late Spring!! Katherine intends to do a study connecting the heat of July and the heat of lovin', I suppose. The facts don't lie, people.
A little later I will share my thoughts and emotions on missing my dear friend Kate who has now been in eternity for 5 years. Its overwhelming and deserves a post on its own.
Love and what not,
k

Ok, Really...?
SO much life has happened in a short few weeks.
Highs:
MOM IS CANCER FREE! miracle.
The end of February... good riddance
Big Daddy's (what? that's his name) successful open heart surgery!
Some great music, friends and life
Becoming a team co-capt. for this year's Relay for Life!!
Business success with organizing on the side
New glasses that help my eyes not blur even more during long work days! See? (pun intended)
Lows:
The waiting game of mom's struggle
Potentially scary eye predicament of my own
LONG winter
Feeling old. (don't hate... I'm just being honest)
LOTS of uncertainty on every conceivable level
The dread of taxes
I can stay subdued no longer. A "low", that needs its own paragraph, is The Bachelor... Mr. Jason Mesnick. I am committed to keeping the language on here PG, so bear with me. You, devoted blog readers, know that I have been a faithful follower and mild stalker... OK, legit stalker... of Jason. Its neither flattering or realistic. Nevertheless, I have loved him. I applied to be on the show. I watched each show with waning enthusiasm.. but enthusiasm nonetheless. Its important that you know how enamored I was with this handsome, single father from the Pacific Northwest. Sure, he's a cheese ball. Sure, he's a little too quick with the lovin'. Sure... he's a creep. But, wow. Tonight was a WHOLE new ball game. I am officially so annoyed that I will never* watch the show again. My beef isn't even really with Jason. Its with that desperate hussy Molly. I mean, never has this world seen a girl MORE thrilled to be someone's sloppy seconds... and I do mean sloppy, okaaaaay?! And Jason? He's like school on Sunday... no class. I am rarely speechless. Tonight I was without words. (Well, as many words. hehe.) As I sat and watched, I honestly found myself horrified. I'm pretty sure ABC has reached a new low with their television love connections. (yes, i hear myself.)
I promptly huffed off, drew horns on my "Team Jason" homemade t-shirt and got on the computer. Luckily, I turned on the t.v. only to find Jimmy Fallon wrapping up his first show starring none other than Robert "Bob" Deniro, Justin Timberlake and Van Morrison. Outstanding. Justin Timberlake secured his pozish in my heart for good as he impersonated Barry Gibb and Michael McDonald. Both men having written my favorite soft rock hits. Sometimes I think... no, I know.. JT and I would be best friends. Also, Van Morrison is technically a little person. And has virtually undiscernable speech... but he's Van freaking Morrison, riiight?!
Tomorrow is a new day. One where television, hopeless romanticism and expensive disappointment have their day in the sun yet again. Thank you, America. Again... thank you.
A teaser for the coming week: Outline of my "StrengthsFinder" results. My compare/contrast of two feature films, "The Reader" and "Notorious". Both riveting in their own right (or is it rite? Whatev.) And last but not least, A synopsis of the last month by way of haiku. You know you love it.
Oy Vey. Its almost time to wake up and go the gym. gross.
Xs and Os,
k
*no, seriously. I am happy to compile a list of things I will do before watching The Bachelor ever again. It will include but not be limited to: staying awake for 80 hours, getting a rash, getting lost in the woods, experiencing uncontrollable bowels, listening to non stop whining or ever being in the presence of Kid Rock. I will never never never watch the show again. After tomorrow.
