Thank You

For those of you who know me well, you know that this hasn't been one of the easiest years of my life. Transitioning into the real world is never easy and doing it in the bold way that I did(moving alone to a big city with no job and no friends) is hard even for someone like me who's never really been afraid to jump into things headfirst. But one of the blessings of making a move like this is that you find out exactly what you mean to people. It suddenly becomes clear who wants to be in your life and who wants to have a free place to stay while in the city. 

I have been incredibly blessed and delighted by all of those who have come into my life since this move, by those who have stayed in my life, and especially by those who have re-emerged. 

So, to everyone out there, those of you who; show up to help me move, cook me Thanksgiving dinner, send me texts/IMs/facebook messages of love, call me on your way home from work, make me tea when I'm feeling down, visit NY to see ME, and so many other wonderful things...Thank you. 

And HAPPY EFFING THANKSGIVING! May you sit on your ass all day tomorrow. 

P.S. AMAZING

2 Noteworthy Conversations

While underwear shopping with Lady M:

"You should get these red plaid ones, then we can match!"

"Why would we EVER need matching panties?"

"For Colin's wetdreams."

"Oh, good point. But I hope you know this is going to ruin my whole underwear color palate. Right now they are all blues, pinks, and purples."

"Welcome to New York Katie." 

Talking to Jenna at Work:

"Well how did she meet this guy?"

"They met at Governor's school."

"Governor's school??"

"Yeah, you know, it's like for smart kids and you go learn about poli-sci and stuff. I guess it's kind of for future politicians."

"Yeah, kind of like how dental school is for future dentists."

"What? they don't have Governor's School in Arizona?"

"....No."

"Oh."

5 Reasons Not to go to Work if You're Feeling Sick

1. You might throw up on yourself.

2. You might throw up on yourself while on the train.

3. You might throw up on yourself while on the train, and then Subway (sandwiches) won't let you use their bathroom, so they refer you to McDonald's where they have no paper towels.

4. You might throw up on yourself while on the train, and then Subway (sandwiches) won't let you use their bathroom, so they refer you to McDonald's where they have no paper towels, and there might not be any cabs to take you home, so you will have to ride the bus home smelling like and covered in your own vomit. 

5. Do you really need a fifth reason?
