Chasing Rabbits and Colors

"Go ask Alice" - I guess would be my favorite quote before I even freaking knew that  J.A. didn't mean - innocently - Ask her.  It.  was a drug reference.  I was so clueless and innocent but could read underpinnings so I got that something wasn't quite innocent in all of this so I don't know exactly what's happening but if I smile and nod I'll look like I freaking know what they are talking about.  Yeah that was middle school.  I'm still doing it.  THOUGH to my credit - I'm slightly smarter and less naive.  "slightly" being the operative word.  I guess we all do a bit of the "pretend we know what is going on so I don't look dumb thing."  Some just do it better than others.  I'm a very quick thinker so I can fake my way through a lot - some - not so much.  I'm not smarter necessarily  - just quicker.  I do well in make or break things.  I work well under pressure. Unless it involves reverse motion or parallel parking on a car.  I've said numerous times - my brain does not do reverse.  Full disclosure! Though,  I was the first draft only draft.  Only I did it 2 weeks before it was due.  I'm not stupid!

This last stretch sans kids has really been hard.  I don't want to be flaky but I take this brief reprieve to do the check up from the - yeah you know . . .  but I'm one to get weird when I don't have people that need me to be the stuff everyday.  I have tried to clean house personally this last few weeks.  Prune - if you will.  Fill myself with good things.  Cheap wine is always a good thing in my book!  In Vino Veritas!  Next tattoo!

But I've also been chasing rabbits and frankly it's a bit exhausting.  Less the chasing and more the rabbit.  I'm a runner and am pleased to say my speed had greatly improved.  I was for a very long time a 6 miles per hour runner.  After the marathon in November to now - I'm 7.25 per hour.  Not like Kenyan speed by any mother chicken way -  but I'm pleased.  I decided that I want to more than by 3 minutes qualify for Boston.  I will not run it (I'm SO not that yuppie runner!) but just qualifying makes my girl parts shimmy!

Being faster is cool.  I like full on sprinting.  I like the voice in my head as the flood gates open and I'm full on - super in it.  It's better than whatever they were asking Alice about - I'm telling you.  Though at the end I wanna puke - but really, it's a good puke :D

So - I'm doing this Color Run in September.  It's NOT a race - it's 5k.  They blast you with colored chalk at each increment.  check it out.  I want a team to do it with me though I may force - I mean ALLOW my kids to do it with me. Google it.  Richmond VA in September.  I've paid for it so I'm in.  let's do it.  I'm always chasing something.

Word to my single sisters who want men...

Ladies.  When I knew I was in want of a man - when I knew I needed to be with someone of the opposite sex - I turned - logically -  to the Internet.  I knew I did NOT want to meet a guy in a bar.  Church would have been great but I went to a very small church and frankly - pick ens were slim (but the guys were NOT)
So my search went far and wide on the w.w.w.

And my search ended well.  BUT ladies - I'm telling you there's a MORE better way (yeah I meant that).  TODAY.  I found the BEST - yes THE best place to find a man.  If Roger had not been holding my hand the whole time I'm pretty sure I'd be with someone named X  - from  . . . .

THE GUN SHOW!  


We went to the Dulles Expo center today for the gun show.  Dear LORD there was more testosterone flowing through that damn building than I could breathe in!  Men - Boys - really cute boys - Cops - Military - super cute - grey beards (yum) all of it SUPER MALE.  I'm sure that that was the safest place on the planet since every guy there wanted to protect or actively be protected.  I LOVE THAT SHIT.  If you hate guns you will hate what I have to say - but what happened in Colorado had nothing to do with gun laws -   Crazy people do dumb things every day and it sucks.  We are born to die.  Hopefully not badly or painfully but when we are born the clock starts and 2 or 92 we die.  It's the Corporeal body.  The cool thing is that if you believe in God and the eternal you know that if you are alive (fetus) you live forever.  Not everyone gets that or believes it and I personally prove nothing other than experience (mine) which is pretty freaking cool!
BUT guns are like really fast knives.  I can kill a whole bunch of people if I poison them.  You gonna outlaw Drano?  Anybody that wants to kill can.  It's a horrible thing.  I don't like rap but I guess no one dies - just my soul when I hear it . . but really? the gun was the inanimate object that did the will of the crazy person.  poison gas - fire - or you name the method - anything could kill people if someone is set to be bad.


I do not dislike firearms - in fact I respect them greatly.  I can't say I like them - I respect them.  I don't personally own one yet  - though, I will soon.  I was taught a lot of respect both for freedom and what cost it came from and for things of such magnitude as a child.  I can shoot and am actually pretty good - though my preferred weapon is a bow.  I am actually an accomplished archer - won an award in HS - (please leave your offering at the door)  But it's kind of hard to conceal carry a bow.  the quiver totally gets in the way.  So - considering where I live and I personally know 2 people who conceal every day - I'm in.  It's a test and I'm good.  I'm ready to be ready.  You want peace? prepare for war.  I'm not a dumb girl.  My body is strong and I am taking classes to make it stronger.  My mind is strong - I'm taking classes to make it stronger.

Don't mess with Texas is still my favorite slogan.  I guess that's why I love Texas.

I may lose friends tonight.

sigh.  I'm not apologizing - because I won't unless I did something to hurt someone either intentionally or un.  But - HI my name is Katie - and I like Southern Rock.  In addition to the veritable BUFFET of other things I like. - I do really like southern rock.  I love ambient and  Skrillex, Tool, Rihanna and now - Blackberry Smoke (recently)  I love Florence and the Machine - OMG - she is amazing.  So I am NOT a one trick pony.  but I can tie a cherry stem in a knot :D

I do not like country - sam I am I do not.  I've never actually heard a Keith Urban song ( though JESUS he's hot - good for you Nicole!) .  chances are I won't like it.  I don't care if Bubba shot the jukebox or if we can boot scoot or if there's a watermelon perhaps crawling somewhere . . .  Full on Country is NOT my bag - but add a little Kenny Wayne Shepherd and YES PLEASE - blue on black?  um yes!  I don't care who you are if you don't like a little skynard ?  don't freaking call me in the morning  or eva

come on?  Dio?  dig him long time but I'd have sex to Lynard Skynard any damn day!!

I would rather die with my boots on than listen to Bieber or Usher sing a freaking NOTE.  Put it the hell away!  Does either of them do anything but pose for the camera ?  There are actual people - you know who play these things called INSTRUMENTS - they are so sweet and make music  - good music if done right.
Yeah! suddenly I know why good musicians have good sex . . .  YEAH i make good flute.  Just sayin. :D  "one time - at band camp - - -- "  yeah.

I love passion.  channeled.  If you love it and do it = chances are God is behind it unless your passion is like = killing people for fun - unless you are CIA or FBI  - or a really hot Navy Seal ( call me :D ) and then I guess well - have fun.  I'm not GOD - and that's a good thing since I personally think I would suck.  AND would be really really biased toward people who prayed to me and all.

So.  I do.  38 Special, Kansas - skynard.  kenny(and no not ROGERS - Jesus - I haven't lost my mind).  Jeff Healy (Roadhouse - blind guy).  I do - really like it.  Kind of like Roy Orbison moved a bit south.

Blackberry Smoke is good shit.  It's not like the first time you saw RUSH or anything - but they are good.  Little too much Hair on a boy for my liking but I get the genre.  I loves me some Uncle Ted so I get the hair being an expression - and I guess coming from that kind of Kill it and Eat it sort of Family I like a man that isn't afraid of firearms nor hunting.  I'm a very COMPLEX simple girl :D  - I'd be happy spinning and knitting and sewing and creating and growing for the rest of my life.  OR - teaching and training and writing and spinning and knitting and sewing and creating and growing for the rest of my life.

I am from a family - HEY you all -   that cut up deer (also know as venison in the cool foodie world - I only knew it as dinner) in their living room.  We ate venison a lot.  It is still one of my top favorite meats and I respect those who hunt  - greatly.  I guess I'm stretching since THERE may be southern rockers who are also PETA followers . . . but GOD DAMN I hope not.  It would really bust my cool.  I like to have some semblance of buckets.  I hate to pigeon hole people  - but buckets are nice. I like buckets.  You do southern rock - have MORE hair than I do (and personally I have a f'k ton of hair!) my face? not so much - :D
BUT LORD on fire - you gotta at least wanna shoot something?  right?  If I find out you are sitting around conditioning that damn beard instead of doing something manly and scratchy - ugh . . . 


Well - I guess if you all abandon me tonight I so so get it but really - There was a good friend who said they would take Stevie Ray V on her honeymoon  - I totally put him in S.R. category.  :D  Just sayin B!

Fierce shoes!

oh, I am such a girl -

Yes.  sigh.  I am.  I bleed on a regular basis - though that would be something I personally would CHOOSE NOT to.  really.  It's kind of gross on a Biblical basis and I really wish that the Garden of Eden would have ended very VERY differently - personally.  Just sayin.  Mosquitoes?  really?  When I get to Heaven I'm going to personally nut punch Adam.  He's been warned.  Might bitch slap her.  nah.  we tight.

I digress.  If ya'll know me you know I'm a sucker for well fitting designer clothes that are practically free.  AKA - THRIFT stores.  For 80 bucks tonight I got more Banana Republic, Anne Taylor and New York and Co. and Roger got more Polo's than he will outlive (though he's pretty fly for an old guy!) LOL !  New FIERCE shoes that are all VEGAS!!!  I can't wait to wear them - which is why I'm wearing them to work tomorrow!  They make me 6' 1" !!!  I love it!  The best part is that they are super comfortable.  I know RIGHT?!?  Again.  B.R. I so love them.  They fit me perfectly.  Super score.

Maybe it's just that I'm cheap - but if these shoes were full price I'd never pay 100 bucks.  8?  sure.  New? Of course!  I just like the thrill of the hunt.  Prada?  yup.  Mostly I stick to what I know fits.  Gap, BR, New York, Anne Taylor and Old Navy - some DKNY.  I think they have the same 6 model.  It fits exactly the same.  I hope at least she has a big nose and fat feet - lol!!!  Oh I didn't say that!  :D

But - I really love hunting - (and I swear I will put it to good use and yes Uncle Ted - use every part)  it actually makes it fun.  I refuse to spend money on anything other than intimate pieces (yes I buy expensive undergarments that are NEW!)  and running shoes.  though I still like the barefoot running thing.  Thinking of alternatives to shoes.  Got some ideas.  But again - I'm a girl :D  Vegas approaches - I'm so excited!!!  working on my cheap ass white trash bikini and wrap!!!  There may or may not be pictures.  What happens in Vegas ya know . . . . just sayin.

You could NOT be more wrong and still have a job

The weather.  We watch it.  We talk about it mundanely. We make it seem easy or horrible - but really?  This is the digital _ HD - FUCKING age and you tell me it's sunny and I'm getting rained on?  If I did my job this bad I'd be gone - oh wait I work for UniF? - I get to steal lie and cheat and still rise to the top - No worries.  Shockingly 


OMG - this is pure stupid on a freaking plate!  Figure this shit out before you post to me that today is gonna be good.

Okay so this is really about truth.

Et tu brute and all .

I'm looking for the truth.  Pilate asked.  and Jesus really never answered,  I guess He figured we would have to figure it out ourselves.

I am really still shaking trees to see what falls.

I guess it's all about fruit.

It started with fruit - forbidden and all

I guess it ends with the spirit.

That would be the truth  - Love Joy Peace Patience Kindness Goodness Faithfulness Self-Control  - Against such things there is no law.

We saw the Dark Knight yesterday.  It was hard for me on many personal levels.

I walk away knowing - this earth is not my home.  I love my people.  and that humans hurt humans for reasons we don't always get.

Life is messy - bring paper towel and baby wipes.

Condoms don't solve much - but are better than being dumb

Life is tough but it's tougher if you are stupid

And finally WEATHER PEOPLE FREAKING SUCK

just sayin.

If it's too LOUD . . .

I'd like to say you are too old.  But I am revamping this to say if It's raining and looks nasty - freaking bail.  We got boos.  They are now under water,  sorry.  I like Kiss and MC.  I like not being soaked more.  Peace.
