Happy Halloween!

I just wanted to quickly blog to tell everyone out there in the blogosphere Happy Halloween! Whether you love all the free candy or seeing all the giggling children dressed up, Halloween is an awesome holiday. I personally love watching all the kids with their parents walking up and down our street so excited as they walk up our front porch steps and proudly open their bags waiting for candy. I swear, kids are the cutest thing ever. It was fun handing out candy with the boyfriend since he is so adorable around kids. He talked to each of the kids and handed them their candy.

I will post pictures tomorrow of our decorations and such as soon as I move them over to flickr. For now, I’m headed to watch some TV and head to bed. So until next time, later gators!

Okay, who did it!?

Yes, that’s exactly what I want to know, who did it? Who stole my cleaning fairy because I’d very much like it back, darn little bugger. Yesterday, the boyfriend decided he would unhook all wires from my computer and zip tie them so I don’t have all these wires jumbled up below my desk since Jack likes to lay under the desk when I’m at my desktop. So that little project turned into him vaccuuming and dusting my desk/printer area. So now I have a spotless corner and I know I’m expected to make the rest of my room look that way in his eyes. Boy oh boy, how I hate dang cleaning. I swear, I’d rather take a punch to the stomach than clean my room. It’s not that my room is super messy, it’s just that my closet has almost 0 room and I feel like if I get rid of something, I’m throwing out memories. I know that’s now the way to look at things but I can’t help it. Since he made the effort to straighten up my desk area, I guess I can do the rest of my room. Only downfall is I have like 12 hours before he is back up here so I better get it done!

In other news, I almost decided to have a hernia concerning my FireFox! I installed the new version and was all yippy skippy over running it so I could check out Sage Too when BOOM! It crashes automatically. I mean Safe Mode wouldn’t even work. So after googling my little heart out, I found a solution to uninstall Google Desktop Search and once I did, FireFox worked! Yay! I was so scared I was going to have to use IE. *shudders* And I must say my site looks horrible in IE. I should fix that. I also need to fix some CSS issues around the site and set up FeedBurner for this domain. I shall conquer domain issues after I get my cleaning done and run to the store to get a pumpkin. OH yes, better watch out Halloweeners, Kateness is carving a pumpkins and no comments on what it is after it’s done because my carving skills aren’t too keen! Lol. I need to find some carving patterns, I wanna carve something cute. I will post a picture when it’s complete.

Anyways, time to clean and run some errands. We’ve yet to purchase Halloween candy and every year we spend almost $100 in candy and STILL run out so this year we’re trying to buy more for the same amount. Thank God for Wally World! So until next time, later gators.

Mother Nature, must you hate us?

The weather officially sucks big ones. I was so excited that Rans was going to be up here last night and when I walked into the kitchen from getting groceries and picking up some fast food for dinner I immediately was saddened. Rans is sick and his eyes were all puffy and watery. Poor baby. So now after spending time with him, I’m stopping up, too. Actually I think pretty much everyone I know of is getting sick. It’s the weather since Mother Nature can’t pick a season. Last week it was in the high 70′s and everyone was wearing shorts and capris but today it’s in the low 50′s for a high and low 30′s for our daytime low. Heck, yesterday I wore bermuda shorts and a tee shirt and was fine but today I wouldn’t step out without having on jeans and a hoodie.

So today I spent most of my time sleeping. I forgot to take my synthroid lately which had me feeling really weak and really moody the past few days so now that I took it last night, I feel like I’m going through a roller coaster. One minute I will be fine and the next my body will be aching again. I hate this. I lost my medicine when I packed it up from our trip to Gatlinburg. I finally found it the other day so now I can get back to feeling better.

Although today I almost had a heart attack!! I’m swapping colleges in January and I thought the deadline to have everything in was November 1st. Well, no, it’s not. Thank God. I have to have a copy of my GED scores (I got my GED because my mom was in a bad car wreck so I became home schooled to help around the house) and I could not find them anywhere. So I have to now mail this form in and wait 4 weeks for me to receive my scores. That’s fine as long as all my information is submitted by December 10th. Financial aid has to be submitted by the 1st of November which is not a big problem at all. I’m just so excited that I finally made up my mind. I’ve let my past with the rape and social anxiety govern my life for so long. I’ve been scared to try new things and pursue my dreams so I played it safe by taking majors I knew I would be good at. After my summer vacation, I had some time to really think about my life and what all I wanted. I made up my mind that I wanted to be a teacher and I wanted Rans. So I already got Rans, now it’s time to get the teaching degree. Heh. So tomorrow I plan on mailing my form off.

I can’t describe how awesome I feel knowing what I want. Anyways, I need to go cook dinner. Mexican chicken!!! I’ll have to take a pic and post a recipe later. Maybe I will add some recipes to my blog. That’d be awesome since I love to bake and cook but I haven’t felt like cooking for a while now. It’s funny that now that I’m happy I can’t wait to bake away! Lol. So until next time, later gators.

Clarification is always nice.

So after reading Simply Precious’ comment on my last blog I realized the last blog was like 50 bazillion thoughts cruising through my mind and my fingers could only keep up for so long!! So to clarify things, Rans and I dated at the beginning of this year from about January through June. We broke up before I went on vacation. The following is from a blog post located here about him:

We talked last night about random things and then our usual joking is what made me feel a whole lot better. I love that boy a lot. I am really beginning to think this is what real love is about. With him, I can go a day or two without talking to him and not stress because I honestly trust him completely. He is a good guy that puts my mind to ease at all times. I love that about him and he is so caring and genuine. He is respectful and fits in with my family which is definitely a plus. He’s the type of guy that if he unintentionally offends or hurts your feelings, he apologizes right on the spot and tries to correct the situation. He is just easy to get along with and it’s comfortable being around him. I also can’t complain in the romance or even kissing departments either. *blush* He is definitely a keeper and this time around, everyone is telling me this instead of me just thinking this on my own so that’s a good sign.

That was dated April 28th, 2008. So basically if you read about the boyfriend on the old miss-kate.com, that’s him. I just never put his name down for privacy issues but now, I don’t care. And as promised, a picture of my beautiful flowers!!

So anyways, I’m about to leave to go to the grocery store and then come home and Rans should be here. He got off at 11 AM but has a softball game in Dunwoody/Alpharetta area so he will be up here after his game. I’m excited because I miss him. I’m telling ya, around him I’m a giggly happy mess but it’s all good because I love him and he loves me. This is finally what I’ve been searching for and if we never broke up, we’d be together for 10 months now but the break up was needed, so each of us could figure out what we wanted and now we have .. each other. So until next time, later gators.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Wow, a lot has happened since my last blog. Seriously. So I guess I will address them one by one.

The old boyfriend/ex: Turns out, once again, I’m an idiot when it comes to choosing guys. My ex was a manipulative abuser so I kicked his ass to the curb. When I did break it off, he went psycho and called me literally 30 times within an hour time frame. Needless to say, I unplugged my home phone. One good thing did come from him. He kept saying Rans, my ex before him, cheated on me until it made me point blank ask him. More about that later. Basically my ex is a complete dumbass and a sorry excuse for a male specimen.

Rans: After the ex kept saying Rans cheated on me, I decided to contact him and ask him. Really I think I just needed to talk to him because after my ex pulled my hair and hit me in the back of the head one day when I had a migraine, I needed to hear Rans voice because he comforts me in a way no one else can. So on the day we left for Gatlinburg, I texted him. It was like a breath of fresh air talking to him again. I told him I’d call him Friday because I’d be single on the way home from Gatlinburg. See I already knew I was dumping the ex, I just didn’t want it to escalate further physically. He was clingy and crazy enough when we were together so I knew it’d get out of hand if I didn’t handle it properly. We got back on Friday but me and the ex didn’t break up til Saturday night. Saturday I called Rans and we talked. A while back, he contacted me and told me he made a mistake and he still loved me and he knew I was the one for him. I was too stupid to tell him I felt the same way so instead I let my pride get to me and turned him down. Gaw, I’m stupid sometimes.

So onto us actually getting together… he asked me out early Sunday morning. Sunday, October 12th to be exact. hehe. That evening he asked me what I was doing and of course I was like nothing so he drove up here. Oh man, I was so shy to go outside and see him when he got here. Him and my step-dad were chit chatting. See, Rans fits in with my family, he’s like already a family member and even when we broke up, my step-dad missed him being here and even talked to him about coming back up. So basically everyone was ready for us to get back together. Can I just say that kissing him makes my heart skip a beat and my knees get all weak? He’s like perfect for me in every way. Since we got back together, out of the 14 days (I’m not counting it as being Sunday yet), he’s been up here 10 days and he will be here Sunday evening through Tuesday evening and then come back Wednesday evening through Friday night. Now it’s to the point I miss him so much when he’s gone!

Tomorrow I will take a picture of my flowers he bought me. They are so beautiful. It’s the little things with me and him that make me realize he is the one for me. I knew he was when we broke up last time and after my vacation over the summer because I had plenty of time to think about things. That’s when I decided that I wanted to be a teacher and to start building my confidence up. See, most of my life I’ve been scared because of my whole past and the rape issue. I don’t go anywhere by myself but lately I’m more independent. I can go run errands by myself. Hell, I can go to the grocery store by myself and be fine with it. I think it’s because for once I feel safe because I know Rans has my back and if anything happens, he’s there to pick me up when I fall. It’s an amazing feeling.

Anyways, I don’t feel like rambling anymore for right now. I will blog more tomorrow. I just wanted to hurry and get my brand new theme up! Ta-da! I’ll comment and do link exchanges tomorrow! So until next time, later gators!
