It's been a while...

I said I was going to get back into writing on this blog...but I haven't.  I don't feel like I have anything interesting to write about.  This weekend was pretty busy though.  Saturday was my cousin Justin's wedding in Walters.  It was pretty and I got to see a lot of family that I usually only see once a year.  I will get to see them all again in about a month and the family reunion, too.  Love seeing great-aunts and uncles and talking to them.  They have some good stories and knowledge they can pass on.  Justin and Jessica, the newly married couple, had red-velvet cake as the groom's cake.  I was in heaven.  They also had a chocolate fountain so I was able to get some chocolate covered strawberries (love them).  Overall, it was a good time and I hope for nothing but the best for the new couple.

After the wedding, I met up with Candice and Landon and we went to the house of one of their car club friends.  I met a lot of people (I don't remember all the names) and had a good time.  I'm glad I met up with them because I would have sat at home and done nothing all night.  I'm supposed to go to a car show next weekend and hang out with them again.  Should be fun.

Sunday has been a normal day for me.  My stomach has been unhappy this afternoon though so I'm not feeling too well right now.  I did end up taking Boomer over to the dog park for a little bit though.  Someone thought it would be a good idea to bring a boxer into the little dog portion.  Not cool my friend.  So Boomer wanted to meet this dog and they didn't seem to get along.  I didn't think this was a good idea, so I just tried to keep Boomer away from the dog until the guy got smart and took the dog to the big dog area (genius). 

This week doesn't look to be overly exciting except for Thursday when Cristina and ReRe come over for girls night.  I'm cooking for them (!!!).  But the fun will be catching up with them since we haven't had a girls night in over a year.  There will definitely be a lot of laughs.

I will try to be better about posting even if I don't have much to say.  Now that I have finished writing this blog, I've remembered my new "friend" that has graced me with her presence this past week.  I will write about her tomorrow.  She is quite the character.  P.S. Her name is Cacee (and no I didn't make that up).

Way Back Wednesday

Hello, my friends. Since deciding to pick this blog thing back up, I have been trying to figure out what I was going to write about. I needed something to help get the writing to flow. And after reading several blogs, I have decided I am going to start “Way back Wednesday’s”. Now, you might be thinking I am going to post some songs from a long time ago, but I’m not. I’m not a big fan of oldies, but I am a fan of older pictures. I like to see how people have changed, or if they have changed. So, I am going to go back to some of my older pictures and blog about it. Just be aware that if I have a picture of you, it is fair game.

So, today is the first “Way Back Wednesday” and what better way to start it off than with a picture of myself. Yes, this is Kandi and me from the 1980s, not Jordyn and Kayla. We were probably around 3 and 6 when this was taken. Don’t you love the green chair? What about my multi-colored color-coordinated outfit with my belly showing? Kandi's outfit isn't much better.  I would like to think I still look as cute now as I did back then. I would also like to think my outfits are better looking than that one.  You be the judge.
Until next time my friends...

I don't remember getting paid to be a model...

          

   

So, I was going through my craft/gift/catch all stuff tonight and found some stickers that I bought a long time ago.  They were probably for one of the projects I thought I would do and never did.  I'm sure I bought them thinking I would make something crafty/scrapbooky (is that a word?) and never did.  I tend to do that.  Anyways, I was going through my stickers looking for some I can use for some coasters I'm going to make for my cousins wedding in two weeks and found some stickers about friends.  You know the ones... "best friends this" or "friends do that."  They are all cute and I'm sure I had good intentions of using them at some point.  Well, needless to say, they are still in the package.  Well, there was one package in particular that once I saw it I knew exactly why I bought it.  There was a drawing/cartoon of three girls on it and this picture reminds me of just about every picture I have ever taken with Cristina aka Mexican and ReRe aka Black girl.  There haven't been any pictures like this lately, but if we were to take one tomorrow, this is what it would look like.  The only thing is I don't remember letting some random person use our pictures as inspiration...and I definitely don't remember getting paid for it. 

Been a while...

I feel like I need to start blogging again. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I just think it will be fun to actually have a way to follow what is going on in life. So, here it is.

A lot has changed since I last blogged (2 years ago), but then again so much is the same. I graduated from grad school. I'm still single. I bought a new house. I'm debt free. Have the best friends in the world. Still love the Sooners. Have taken up reading for fun again. Love to spoil my nieces. That's all I can come up with right now.

So, it looks like I need to keep up with this blog thing and maybe, but maybe, I will enjoy it and get something out of it. If you don't like what you are reading here, you can always read one of the funniest blogs around over at ReRe-Ramblings. I love that girl and look forward to her posts.

Until next time my friends...

Life Update

I know it’s been a while since I updated on life. It’s still the same…crazy. I have been busy with school and trying to figure out what is wrong with my throat. I finally went to the gastroenterologist and had an endoscopy done. He told my mom that everything went fine. I don’t really know because I was out of it. I do know that I still feel the same thing I felt before, just not as bad. I have to go back to the doctor on May 11th for a follow-up. Hopefully we will figure something out.

School is still the same. It is keeping me busy. This semester will be over on Thursday and I can’t wait. I will have three weeks off until the summer semester starts. I am taking a class during the month of June that will last 16 nights. Basically we are cramming 16 weeks of class into 16 nights of class. I am going to need a LOT of prayers in June. I will still be working full time as well as driving back and forth from Norman. It should be interesting to say the least.

That's all I got for now. Hope you enjoyed the picture of Boomer.

What NOT to Wear…Kasie style

As everyone knows, I REALLY like to people watch. I also like to evaluate what other people are wearing. It's something I have done for as long as I can remember, at least since high school. So the other day I was getting ready for a presentation in my accounting/finance class and was "evaluating" what everyone was wearing. The class was supposed to start at 6:00 p.m. but this kid decides to show up at 5:45 while his group had been working on the slideshow since before 5:30. He walked into the classroom in a shirt with no sleeves and a V-neck. He said he didn't have air-conditioning in his car so he was going to go change. When he came back, he had on a button-up shirt, tie and dress pants. Now you are thinking "What is wrong with that outfit?" Well, he had no belt. That is one fashion mistake that drives me crazy. So in looking at this kid, I got to thinking about some of the other fashion faux-pas that drive me crazy. Here are few. Enjoy (and pray you don't do any of these)!

1. Shirt tucked in and no belt
   

How dorky does this look? If you are going to tuck in your shirt, you must wear a belt. Which leads me into number 2.

1. Black and brown don't mix
   

You should always make sure that your belt/shoes/coat match. I get onto my sister about this one all the time.

1. Furry boots and shorts
   

This is not cute. Either you are cold, or you are hot. It isn't both. What is the point in wearing the boots for winter if you are going to barely cover the rest of your body? I don't get it.

Ok, that's all I can think of right now. Those are the big ones though. Just remember that if you are out in public you are fair game for me to evaluate.

Where in the world have I been?

It's been a while since I have updated. I haven't really had time to update anything, including my own calendar. School and work seem to take up most of my time. I did take 2 ½ days of vacation since I was going to lose them anyway. Why not spend the time off working on homework. That sounds like fun doesn't it? Maybe. So, not much has been going on. I am over halfway through my second semester of grad school. It has been a bumpy ride this semester since I am taking more than one class and still working full-time. One of my teachers in crazy and I can't seem to comprehend what is going on in that class, but I still have an A. Thank goodness for participation points. My other class is interesting and I really like it. The discussions get you thinking. It's also something that everyone who has a job has to deal with (Human Resources). I like that class because the professors make it interesting.

I did make time last night to attend the Sweet Sixteen games for the Oklahoma City Regional. That was a lot of fun except for the old people who know nothing about basketball that were sitting around me. I got to sit behind the OU bench and had a blast. After I was able to ignore the stupid comments from the old people and focus on the game, that is. The first game on Sunday night was at 6:30, so Mom and I went up early. I recorded the second half of the men's game and was going to try not to hear the outcome until I got home to watch it. That didn't work out so well. The first thing we see when we walk into the Ford Center is about 8 million TV's with the game being broadcast. If that wasn't enough, the old guy that was sitting in front of us decided to tell me the score as soon as he got to his seat. I tried to tell him that I was recording it and didn't want to know, but he told me anyway. I just decided I was going to know either way and was happy I picked UNC to win.

I guess this is a long enough break from homework and studying.

One question…When did you realize you had become an adult?

I realized I was an adult when I started getting paid like one and didn't have to borrow money from Mom all the time. It was an even bigger realization when I started back to school and still had to work full time. When you have to juggle more than one thing at a time, life seems to sneak up on you.

That's all for now
