Jessica: UPDATE YOUR BLOG, HO

My mom and my BFF (yes, I just actually used that term, I am in fact 12), have been reminding me to update my blog, and I have been such a slacker.

My bad.

It has been the week of the headaches, beginning on Saturday where I spent over half the day in bed. And now it has carried on to today, where I am still nerdy four eyes because the headache has still not stopped. Oh, the wonderful things that go along with being a girl. TMI? Yes. True? Yes.

We leave for the beach tonight! WOOHOO! Much needed break from this work week. People are annoying me and it will be nice to get away! And to get a tan. And nerdy souvenirs. And pictures.

The truth is, life has been normal with nothing exciting to talk about! I did get a new laptop. Sadly, this blog is being written on my poor excuse for a computer at work. I'm surprised it hasn't frozen on me yet.

It's time for my lunch break. Why did I choose to start typing this right before my lunch break? It's not like I can minimize it and finish it after I eat, seeing as I whined about work earlier.

I miss everyone back home! I want to visit soon, just need an excuse (and dollar dollar bills, y'all). Who wants to donate to the "Kaitlin wants to visit fund"? Coolthanksbye.

I promise a more exciting post when we get back from the beach!! Filled with fun things and pictures, weeeeeeeee!

This has been random ramblings of Kaitlin in an effort to please everyone by blogging. Truth is, I'm hungry (my life motto) and it's my lunch break.

Hope this blog shall suffice for now :) LOVE YOU ALL BYE BYE LOVE YOU! BYE <3

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!


Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday.... Just a boring weekday and a simple night at home. Nothing to blog about. So sad, so sad.

Today it is Friday, Friday... Tonight I cook fish that our neighbor gave us, fresh out of our lake! Should be an interesting night of cooking. Never cooked fish like this before :) I bought Josh a gift on the way home (Iron Man Blu-Ray). Hopefully he won't see that before he gets home, it's a surprise! He owns the second one but not the first, soooo now he has both. Such a good wifey I am...

We we we so excited. We so excited. We gonna have a ball today.

Tomorrow is Saturday... and we'll be cleaning the house and just relaxing. The past week has been crazy, so it will be nice to just have a day off. We may go fishing with our neighbor (the one that gave us fish) - we shall see!!

And Sunday comes afterwards... Sunday is Jazz for Justice day! It's a charity event in Tallahasee that my office gave me tickets to. VIP tickets to be exact, holler! So we get a parking pass (if you knew the area of town, you'd now how amazing that is), access to a VIP Reception with champagne, a jazz band and art, and free beer and wine from 4-7pm. A lot of New Orleans art and jazz bands will be there, should be a fun time! And free is one of my favorite words :)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY PARENTS <3

And sister, have fun at Myrtle Beach - JEALOUS!

Which reminds me, Panama City Beach on Thursday!! WOOHOO :)

Sleepy, but fitting in a blog!

Sorry for the delay in posting, but unfortunately, it's due to sad circumstances.

Friday night Joshua and I had a lazy Friday night in. We ate leftovers, watched The Devil's Advocate, and went to bed embarrassingly early (well, I did, he stayed up in read... I'm a wimp). We had plans to clean the apartment the next day. At quarter to 4 we got a call from Josh's mom, Barb, that Josh's Grandpa had fallen and hit his head, and there was a chance he wasn't going to make it. Josh sprang out of bed and promptly started packing, so I sleepily followed. We were out the door by 5am, at Dunkins by 5:10am, and on the road by 5:15am. Made it to St. Petersburg by 10am, dropped off the doggie at the Brians' condo (kittens stayed home, poor babies), and then headed to the airport to get Josh's parents. Then it was off to the hospital to see Grandpa Brian! He seemed to be doing better, which led to a collective sigh of relief. He had started to talk again, though not completely coherently, but it still seemed to be a good sign. We stayed until well into the afternoon (with a tasty BBQ break, which is necessary information for us food lovers) and left with high spirits, thinking he'd pull through. We all hung out and everyone gradually left. Josh's parents went to the hospital to say goodnight to Grandpa Brian, and Josh and I, sleepy from getting up at 4am, went to bed. We hadn't been in bed for 5 minutes when we got the call that Grandpa Brian had passed. I was honestly shocked, as he had seemed so much better when we left. But his wife, whom he loved very much, had died barely two months earlier, and we all truly believe he was ready to go. They traveled all over the world together and had so many amazing stories that we'll all miss hearing. But it's comforting to know that they're together again. As Joshua said, they're up in Heaven boating together now, and he's spending eternity checking out her butt (trust me, that's his grandpa's idea of heaven, I'm sure; he spoke quite often of her butt, haha). So, we're going back down to St. Petersburg later this week. Rest in peace Grandpa and Grandma Brian.


OK, onto a lighter note. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! I really wish I could have been with my mom today, but it was nice to speak with her on the phone :) And I'm glad she liked her Mother's Day gift (subscription to Food Network Magazine, hellz yeah!) Thanks for being a super duper awesomely cool mom, Mom. Love you muchly!! Wish we could have had mother's day bloody mary's at Chadwick's! Or on our deck :)

I got to spend time with my mom-in-law today, which was very nice! A bunch of us went to a restaurant called The Conch Republic grill - DELICIOUS! I got snow crab legs, a salad, and asparagus (and two glasses of wine, duh). It was very tasty and a good time.

I'm also a very proud mommy right now to my four legged babies. Wrangler did a great job keeping spirits up this weekend during a sad time; everyone loved having him around. And Tollie and Parker were SO good this weekend. From what we've seen so far, they did absolutely fine here by themselves. I'm so proud of them all :)

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!!


And now. I sleep. Goodnight :)

Quick little morning update.

Drinking my coffee before heading off to work, so a quick little morning update is in order :)

1. We watched Tangled last night. Watch it. So good. Josh and I have decided it's one we will have to eventually have in our collection. Made my heart happy!

2. I Pricelined our hotel in Panama City Beach last night. Got a hotel that normally charges $120-150/night for $75/night. HOLLER!

3. I really do not feel like working today. But really, who ever feels like working?

4. This coffee is really strong.

5. I thought I had more to talk (well, write) about, but I guess not.... Oopsies!

This has been an incredibly boring update from Kaitlin. Enjoy!

The fan club is angry.

I have been notified by a certain person, whose name I will not mention, just that her name starts with a J and ends with an essica, that I have been slacking. My dearest apologies, but life is quite boring. I wake up, drink coffee, get ready for work, work, make dinner, eat, watch Six Feet Under, shower, sleep, repeat.

Although, we finished Six Feet Under last night, which was very sad. What the heck are we going to do with our lives now? We're lost and confused.

I am planning a vacation to Panama City Beach! Josh takes a CLE there on Friday, May 20th, so I'm tagging along. Priceline, please get us good hotel prices, thanks!

OOOOO AAAAAAAAAAA PRETTY!

So, I have to get back to work now, oops! Bye everyone :)
