I Heart Katy Perry

Hello Friends!! Welcome back to my blog.. I hope your August is going fantastic.. Mine is going pretty well especially now that the sun isn't melting on Columbia, Missouri anymore.. It is nice to walk outside and not feel like God is threatening us all to hell if we don't behave a little better.. We must have been on a little bit of better behavior as the weather is much, much cooler. I hope you enjoy my blog post today.. I'm working up to my post about being married for a year so now you will have to suffer through a bunch of random topics.. Don't you worry though, I did put together a random list on a post it note so I would be a little organized. It is amazing all the blog topics you can think of while analyzing whether you should designate liability to a business premises or let the liability sail to everyone.. If my boss is reading, I do work.. a lot.. I just like to multi-task while I underwrite... So enjoy!!!!!

I guess I have to first start with my title.. I heart Katy Perry.. Big time.. This made it to my post it note as KP :) JM :(... I will get to that in a minute but let's take a step back for a bit.. I am not muscial at all. When people say you can be whomever you want when you grow up is wrong.. I could never in a million years be a singer because singing is not my best thing at all.. I don't even sing in church not because I don't to discourage God with my off key dying but I don't want to hurt my neighbors ears.. I don't understand why some music notes are filled in black, why some are filled in white, why some have little sticks, why some have sticks with flags and why some have no flags at all.. However, I imagine in my fake little play world that if I were to be a singer/diva, I would so be Katy Perry.. I know my friend Kristin is going to read this and roll her eyes and say but she is so cartoony! That is why I love her. I want to be her candy loving self.. I love her music because it is so fun and I think she is fun. I would definitely kick it with her and if I had to pick a girl to try and convince me that guys aren't needed in life, it would be her.. I feel like I should try and convince her that guys aren't needed because she has horrible taste in men.. Russell Brand looked like he was trying to look like a caveman their whole marriage and he isn't even that funny. I will give it to her that he does have a hot British accent but that is it.. Now swing to the present future.... My superstar love has been rumored to be dating my arch enemy of music John Mayer... UGH! See previous KP :) JM :(.. I hate John Mayer's music and stupid personality. I hate that he somehow gets hot women and then treats them aside like they are a dog toy.. It wasn't as big of a deal until he stole my Katy!! Let's just say that I am not happy with new couple.. ugh...

TMZ, US Weekly, E! Online are just a few of my guilty pleasures when it comes to Hollywood.. If you didn't notice above that I follow this gossip too closely, you will after this paragraph.. Curt makes fun of me because he says I talk about celebrities like they are my friends.. Oh did you see that Jennifer and Justin got engaged? Oh, of course we don't know any real people engaged named Jennifer or Justin getting engaged.. They are just people I watch on TV.. Oh you mean Jennifer Aninston... (insert weird look here...) What this paragraph boils down to is that if you need someone on a trivia team who knows Hollywood, call me... If you know someone who wants a friend, send them my way as I obviously need a few more.. :)

Olympics.. This was the next topic on my list.. First off, I am so sad that the Olympics are over. I think I am going to start saving my vacation days for the 2016 Olympics.. I loved watched all of the random sports along with the popular sports. I of course love gymnastics. It is crazy to me how those girls can make their bodies do those crazy moves. I have went to several Mizzou gymnastics meets and it is seriously crazier in person. It is worth the admission for sure. I become very interested in water polo. I watched a women's water polo match/game and it was crazy. Random fact, I do not swim well at all. I can swim enough to save myself in a pool of water without a current or waves on a sunny day with no wind or rain.. If you were beside me drowning, I sure hope you have lived a really nice long life and have recently went to confession because you will be meeting God soon.. Let's not even discuss how treading water to me is probably the hardest thing on earth.... So here i am watching a sport where girls are treading water, swimming, and throwing a large ball in a pool like it is nothing! Also, the girls are literally beating each other.. I saw a girl with a black eye! I was trying to figure out what is a foul in water polo and I am seriously stumped.. Girls were out there beating on people and trying to drown their opponent and it apparently. Hello in the USA we call that a felony and you bet my butt would be pressing charges on you for your bad behavior but in water polo that is normal apparently.. Pffft.. I couldn't stop watching though.. It was like watching a car wreck... I think they should have a summer olympics for just normal everyday people... Could you imagine your next door neighbor attempting to play water polo? Gymnastics? Mountain biking? I should pitch my show to NBC.. Surely it would be better than that stupid Animal Practice or whatever it is called in which they interrupted the closing ceremony to air commercial free.. I think the commercials may have been more entertaining than that show.. Speaking of the closing ceremonies.. Holy hell were the Spice Girls amazing.. I love, love, love them.. They looked amazing! If they came to Missouri I would pay more than I would be willing to admit in my blog to go see them... Maybe I should change my title to I Heart The Spice Girls...

Weekend.. I am super stoked for this weekend. Another couple friend and Curt and I are going to see my friend Amanda and her husband this weekend at their house. We are going to go on a lake and have a bbq and pretend like we are in Mexico a month early. Unfortunately my friend Amanda can't go with us to Mexico because she is married to a farmer.. I don't know much about farming but she has helped enlighten me a little.. What I get is that September when we are in Mexico=Harvest Time.. Harvest Time= Big deal for farmers to make money and therefore since they can't harvest from Mexico they must stay with their crop.... I bet when Amanda reads this she chuckles and wonders how we are friends.. Though she will admit that I am making progress.. If my sister marries a farmer, I am not sure if I will be able to make it.. :) Anywho, this weekend I am very excited to hang out with everyone and I am sure it will be a blast since we all get along so well.. Don't worry, I will be extra safe swimming this weekend and I will be sure to blame Curt if someone goes wrong :)

Christmas shopping..  I am here to announce that I bought Christmas presents for 5 people on my list this weekend (only seven million to go) and got awesome deals.. Curt and I usually have a holiday meltdown in December over Christmas shopping so we are trying to space out our shopping over the next couple of months.. So far, so good on this arrangement.. Stay tuned for information regarding any future meltdowns.. Also, if you have any requests for a Christmas present, you better get it in now.. Unless you are Lindsey, Debbie, Dad, Mom, or Nana... You have already secured a Christmas present from this duck...

Jorts.. This whole fashion trend makes me laugh.. I love when I see old men who refuse to acknowledge that jorts are no longer in fashion.. Now, I normally don't go by every fashion rule in the book or make Curt for that matter, but this is one I follow strictly for guys fashion.. Curt would sadly be wearing jorts if I didn't put my foot down.. I love when jorts are paired with a sweet short sleeved button up shirt... It is even better when the whole outfit is paired with high white socks and kicks.. It is even better when the kicks are sandals.. I think I may have just described my dad.......... I would bet a ton of money though that jorts will be back in fashion one day.. I heard that early 90's fashion is coming back now.. I can't wait to buy a bright purple wind breaker and curl my bangs and fluff them up as high as they can go...... I guess this is good news for people who never stepped out of the 90's..

Hair.. I still can't believe that I chopped off all of my hair.. I don't regret my decision but it still catches me off guard sometimes when I look in a mirror. One guy told me I looked a lot prettier with long hair.. Haha.. Thanks....... Let me go drown myself in my tears lol... It takes so much less time to shower, blow dry, and straighten my hair.. Plus my hair feels and looks so much healthier now. I didn't realize how dead my hair was until I cut it off.. I do believe sometimes a change is good..

Money.. Money is something that is a necessary evil in all of our lives.. Sometimes I seriously wonder how people have nice things when they make no money.. I have friends who don't have jobs and survive.. Hell I live in a two income house and I don't know if we can survive.. (joke we survive just fine).. A question was asked at work about what I would do for a $1 million.. Honestly, the answer is a lot more than I would admit.. What would you do for $10 million, $100 million or $1 billion? I think people who say they wouldn't do something for all the money in the world are full of it.. If someone put $10 million in front of me and said to cut off my toe, I couldn't grab that weapon fast enough.. Well toe we had a nice run but you got to go so mama can be a rich duck.. If you are reading this and think I am nuts, then you haven't paid any student loans lately...... :) It is just something to ponder... What would you be willing to do for $1 billion dollars. I would be interested to hear the answers to this.. You can leave a comment with a question and I will probably answer it.....

Okay, enough random topics for this post.. I hope you enjoyed my craziness. As always, thanks for reading!
