whew

well that went well (see below post). now i just have to start a new job (tuesday), move to fort worth (by the end of the month, lease is up), buy a house (pretty sure we're making an offer tomorrow), and plan a wedding (for next summer).

no biggie...

it's such a strange feeling sitting in an office, waiting to resign a job. especially one that you hate, but with a manager that you just love working for...that's what i'm doing right now.

oh crap, here he comes...wish me luck!

santa fe

jay, the dogs and i just got back from a wonderful trip to santa fe. we hiked everyday; in chimayo, all around the ski basin, and at santa cruz lake. we visited art galleries, ate at all our favorite restaurants (shout out to rancho de chimayo, the pink adobe, and a new favorite, senor lucky's), went to taos, met val kilmer, went to ray's wedding, and scoped out spots for ours.

it was relaxing, refreshing, and renewing. i fall deeper and deeper in love with that town with every trip...it has such rich history and beauty.

YCDTOTV

email dialouge from this morning:

mollie: "did you ever watch the show 'kids incorporated' in the 80s?"

katy: "hells yeah. loved it. almost as much as i loved "you can't do that on television" but not quite."

she then proceeded to tell me that fergie from the blackeyed peas used to be on kid's incorporated. i felt like i needed to do a little reconnaissance work and find out what my YCDTOTV peeps were up to now...i mean, that show was greatness, someone had to be famous now.

after doing a little research, i found a website and a section on "where they are now." as i scrolled through the list of names, i noticed one in particular that stuck out...





that's right, alanis morisette.

marathon weekend

my labor day weekend, in a nutshell, was a blast! i am exhausted. here's how it went down: departed dallas thursday afternoon for tulsa, spent thursday and friday with family. norman discovered swimming and let me tell you, he loves it. he even participated in the "sharks" game with my nephews and nieces.

saturday was opening day for the oklahoma sooners, and jay and i were in norman to see all the action live. we have great season tickets and can't wait to see many more victories this season!!

sunday morning we got in the car and headed for waco to see baylor take on tcu. although they did not win, we had an excellent time at the george's tent and i got to see so many people i had not seen in a long time. it was great!

after multiple tanks of gas and a few bucks, i am back in dallas and sad it's over. what a fun time!!! love me some labor day weekend!!!
