KS weather
Considering a ten year old me would be having a serious panic attack over a tornado warning, I can’t believe I’m putting in my ear plugs and going to bed! ear plugs! Meaning I couldn’t hear a tornado if was right outside my door! Oh, what a risk taker I’ve grown up to be.
Don’t get me wrong he’s a nice guy, I like him just fine…but he’s a mouthbreather………………..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some things
I treated myself to some pre-work Dunkin Donuts at 7 a.m. (toasted coconut is da best!). This is special because DD is usually reserved for Saturdays.
Worked 8 hours, came home, took a weird nap.
Woke up with pizza on the brain, went to Rudy’s and spent my Valentine’s evening cleaning up dishes, taking phone orders and folding boxes. It was surprisingly crazy busy. Ate a slice,...

Are you tired of being alone, are you tired of being alone?
So speak to me…
I felt the world begin, to peel off all my skin.
And I felt the weight within reveal the bigger mess…that you can’t fix.
The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter
by Caron McCullers is beautiful! It gives me the same nostalgic warm fuzzies as Dandelion Wine. Hot, humid, adventurous childhood summers, the ache of wanting to grow up, but mourning lost innocence, grappling with death and evil, worry and mortality. It also holds one of the most mind blowing-ly relevant passages I’ve read in fiction in…years, actually…ever:
The character Jake...
Worth it.
Chris, Lindsey, Jenny, Curtis, Adrian, Clayton, Micki, Jake, Josh Hafner (where did you come from! outta no where dang), Seth, Sam and Approach.
Every hug and every good conversation made getting out of the house in this wet cold weather WORTH IT.
I do love genuine, down to earth, sincere people.
Ya’ll are it.
Thanks for making the end of my ‘work week’ (oh wait,it it’s...

Oh my little heart
aches over people who don’t know how special they are.
How much they are cherished and loved and fought for.
Not the human kind, nope, that crazy kind I’ll never understand or be capable of showing.
WE'RE YOUNG!
WHO CARES!
It’s Monday! I’m going to the Taproom for F*g Cop, Dry Bonnet and Slut River.
I will be tired tomorrow at work.
But I refuse to mope around tonight, turn in early and wake up feeling useless.
I’m going to have fun because I’m young, because I have no responsibilities other than myself and because I can.
East of Eden
Once again, I have finished a long book that I fell into deeply. The characters, the landscape, the scenes Steinbeck painted for me, the ones I filled out in my imagination, all found a special place in me and they’re permanent. They’re like snapshots, I can go back and put myself there, under the willow with Aron and Abra, in the wagon with Lee and Sam. I can see it like I lived it....
Right Away Great Captain
Have you ever seen a man so broken as that one man that you were looking at.
Love, go and save him from the drowning.
On being alone
As difficult, terrifying and lonely as it can be, as much as it is against all my natural instincts, this is true: Learning to be alone is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I know myself, apart from anyone else.
I know my strengths and weaknesses because I have seen them come out in relationships and more so now when I face them myself.
I have learned the things I love to do.
I...
My computer
is increasingly becoming an archive of inspirations rather than creations.
Must change this.
I can't just pull the trigger
All I really want is a Kansas boy, who is driven, strong, a bit shy, nice to people, NOT pretentious, talented at something and humble, a good listener and communicator when need be, oh AND a job that I don’t hate going to everyday.
I won’t ever run into that if I move somewhere else, to a big city, somewhere up North or out East.
I’m 26, almost two years out of college, and I...
Katie Webs!
We have a to-do list on Saturday.
One, get food!
Two, get tattoooooz
Three, go buy Dial soap.
When I fly solo, I fly so high
Things I loved this weekend:
Not thinking about work at the bank for three whole days. Not even once.
Long walks on sunny, cool, crisp days. Especially with Harry, the canine companion whom I love.
Leggings, Converse, big sweatshirt, no makeup, sun glasses, sipping iced coffee and running errands with Harry.
Making dinner and drinking wine while watching Gossip Girl (don’t judge).
