I'm thinking of changing my Tumblr theme...
I have no trouble making life decisions like buying houses or cars…but changing my Tumblr theme feels like I am about to make the biggest life decision ever. WTF.
Suggestions on themes?

Things that are awesome...
Part of a Van Morrison song title is part of the name of the street mine and Boo’s house is on.
Boo and I danced to Van Morrison at our wedding.
Van Morrison is an awesome part of our lives.
Update:
Just got a scope of work to push the office over the month goal (FYI - I am NOT in sales, although new job feels like I am)
Yeaaaaa, I'm gunna need you to...
VP Finance: Kate, saw your email you sent to your client last night about getting a few statement of works signed...
Me: You weren't CC'ed on that email, how'd you know about that?
VPF: Kate, I know everything.
Me: Alrighty. Creepster.
VPF: We're about ~$20,000 short from an amazing month, so I really need you to get those SOWs signed by end of the week.
Me: Haha, alright. No pressure.
VPF: Nope, none at all. Except you are the only one who has anything potential to push us over the expected amount. So you really just need to make that happen.

Facebook and Babies
For awhile now, I’ve had the occasional friend post about being pregnant or about their children. A majority of these people are much older than me, so I just dealt with it. They weren’t posting enough for me to care, so whatever.
But over the past 48-72 HOURS, I have seen 4 - 5 posts about being pregnant. Le sigh. I am NOT ready for this stage. I want to go back to showing up on...
Weekend Recap
Friday Night:

- Security Alarm installed
- Pictures hung in the hizzie
- Pizza making at the hizzie with some friends

- Cranium (Boo and I won!)
Sunday:
- Impromptu trip to the lake (OMFG everything...
I remember...
The day I used to not be paid enough to care…Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. And that my friends is what they call a Catch-22.

The Life of a Homeowner...
Can I just tell you this one thing? Our next door neighbor is BAT SHIT CRAZY. When going down the route of buying a home, we had a lot of people giving us advice. My colleagues at my old job told me it would be a really good idea to meet the neighbors before committing. Well with all the traveling and ups and downs of buying the house, we never did. Not that this would change our minds, but...

I finally spoke the truth at work. I got out my frustrations with solutions followed behind it. It felt great. And then my boss decided the truth was not what she wanted to hear. Sooo, yea.
I feel important...
TEXT MESSAGE to my CLIENT:
“Hey Arlene, it’s Kate from {Redacted}. I was wondering if you have a few minutes to talk today or tomorrow around some outstanding projects.”
“In a meeting. Will be driving home tonight around 6.”
Soooo, is that a yes? And since when have I gotten to the point where text message is the ONLY way I can get my client to answer me? FML.
I didn't eat lunch today.
Instead, my boss put peanut butter and jelly on a few crackers and I slammed a Coca-Cola-Classic. Annnnd this is why I’m chubby.
Hey, boo.
Mercury Retrograde
So, I kinda follow this stuff. But 9 times out of 10 I read it and ignore it. Boo ignores it completely. He thinks it’s a bunch of poppycock.
One thing to note about my rant: Boo and I are in the midst of achieving a fairly large chapter in life (NOT preggers). But it’s a big deal and I will tell you all more about it soon. BUT we’ve been dealing with this life goal since...
I slept for 10 hours. Straight.
I SLEPT FOR 10 HOURS STRAIGHT!

Pizza and Popcorn.

Sigh. I need...
I need to figure out a way to not wear my heart on my sleeve. I need to figure out a way to understand ag marketing whilst understanding the dynamic internally and the client dynamic. I need to figure out how to make an 8 13 hour day not feel like a decade. I need to figure out a way to not be burned out by 1pm, knowing I am going to be there until 7pm or 8pm. I need to remember that it’s...
