Fail Blog...

This caused me to cackle. Seriously. Thank you, FAIL blog.

Abstinence is the only sure way to avoid pregnancy... or is it??!!

Love,
Katie

Superstition...

On the day of my interviews... I changed up my normal routines a bit... some of it is just good practice, but I feel like a few things might be considered... superstitious...

1. I plastered Kelley's lucky charms cupcake on my phone and computer screens.

2. I got up and did sit-ups and push-ups in the morning in my hotel room. I HATE PUSH-UPS.

3. I counted the number of interview packets in my padfolio at least 12 times.

4. I sat on a stack of phone books in a random corner of the building for 10 minutes looking over my writing sample, so that I wouldn't be arriving in the office too early.

5. I wore a tank top under my blue dress shirt, because I was convinced that things might be seen through my opaque top.

6. I wore a pair of purple underwear with "DREAM" on the butt... picked out specifically for that day.

7. I rewrote my questions so that they would be neat... in case anyone happened to sneak a peak at my notebook.

8. I wore my patent-leather pumps, despite the fact that after 5 minutes my pinky toes lose all sensation due to crushing.

Anyway... only a couple of those are that interesting... but it made me wonder... did I get my job because of the writing on my ass???

Love,
Katie

Watch it!!!!

All of my future coworkers now know that I called myself "captain awesome" yesterday. That is apparently what happens when your coworkers get google alerts, and you happen to use the full company name.  From now on... and Kathy, if you are still reading my blog, don't you dare get google updates for this... Kafijo Inc. (Katie's First Job) will be my employer.

Anywhoo... If any of you lovelies have ideas of how I can QUICKLY find GOOD housing in the Boston/Cambridge area, please let me know! (Or, if you know a spectacular person looking for a roomie.) I need to figure out my cost of living before accepting the job offer from Kafijo!!!

Love,
Katie

Bride Wars...

This past week, Jenny, Joy, and I tried to watch Bride Wars. After about 30 minutes of Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway going insane about a June wedding at the Plaza... we switched to DVR and started watching "Wife Swap." (Have you seen the one where the people eat raw meat??!! HOLY FERMENTED COW!!!)

Anyway, in one Very Important Scene... Kate pulls out a piece of clothing from her closet (question... why did he hide it IN HER CLOSET??) and out falls a Tiffany's box!!! OH PRAISE THE LORD THE DAY HAS COME WHERE I AM NO LONGER JUST A WILDLY SUCCESSFUL LAWYER!!!! I WILL FINALLY BE FULFILLED!!!!

Anyhoodle... that movie inspired this cupcake selection. Enjoy!

Mmmmmm... Tiffany blue tastes like diamonds!!

Love,
Katie

Looooooooong ride home...

Apparently someone got so violently ill on the plane arriving to Charlotte (a.k.a. the plane I was then supposed to board in order to come home), that they had to remove the seats in the back. I really don't want to think about how that could even be possible.

Anyhoo... what this means is that I arrived home 12 hours late, exhausted, and gross... wearing a pair of underwear I had to wash in the sink at the motel. I've showered... but I have much sleeping to do.

Blah!

Love,
