she is an introvert. as much as she loves parties and events, she really desires a quiet apartment, reading a book, perusing the internet, or watching something cheesy on netflix.
for the girl that dreamed of being a fashion designer from ages 12-18, she knows little about the dealings on project runway. she also is terrible at knitting, and even though she worked at jo-ann fabrics for one harrible (yes.. harrible not horrible) year, she doesn't know a stitch about sewing.
radiohead is a band that she knows she should be into, but she's not. in high school when all the cool boys would get together and talk about thom yorke, she would nod her head and say things like, "he's so deep." but really she just wanted to listen to incubus and 311.
she is still a giant baby. she scraped her knee, and the world has suddenly stopped. pain and drama go hand in hand for this lady.
she is clumsy. she blames it on her small hands and small feet for her bigger frame. she trips on silly shoes, spills the entire content of large sodas all over her, and drops things left and right. she probably will never get over this.
she has big intentions that depart the second she gets home from work. she feels guilty that she should be doing more, but slacks anyhow.
she wants an adventure. a trip to iceland, several days walking amongst the bleach white houses and sandy beaches of greece, a frolic in the woods of british columbia, or shopping with friends in chicago sounds amazing to her right now.
she is happy that it's friday and s u n n y!

you... are really pretty.

ReplyDeleteOh beautiful Kate - have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeletei love that picture of you kate! i would've talked incubus with you in high school.
ReplyDeleteDear Kate,
ReplyDeleteIf you take your first paragraph and start with Dad, second paragraph is me, and go every other one, you will see where you come from. ha ha But don't forget there is so much more to Kate. There is a great sence of humor, creativity, a caring concern for others, etc. etc. etc. Take the good, improve the bad, and continue to grow and shape the Kate you want to be. Love MoM
Opps that is Since of humor, ha ha
ReplyDeleteThis is great.
ReplyDeleteFriday was so beautiful!
And, Incubus was my thing in high school too.
i love love love She.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty great girl... with depth and imperfection which intern makes you more beautiful in my opinion. I love this post!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say I love how you admit that about radio head. I always felt the same way about bright eyes and the "deep" Conor Oberst. Sometimes you just cant force things right?
Ps. I completely relate to you.
I love this post and I love your blog--I hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love She too.
ReplyDeleteShe has always been one of my heroes.
She knows what she likes.
& knows who she is.
She's my best friend and has always accepted me for who I am. even though I can be ridiculous.
I hope she knows I love all these things about her.
The big intentions. the cool bands, the clumsy and cute small hands.
Whatever she does, is, decides.
Wherever she lives, adventures, and frolics. I will be so happy and excited for Her,
She is Kate,
She is Great,
She puts a smile on my face.
she is awesome.
ReplyDeleteloved this, and you. and cute picture.
Hey Kate,
ReplyDeleteI love checking your blog, can I just tell you that!?! I love that you're always so willing to share with the world so candidly who you are, something I am scared to do! You are one amazing lady and I am oh-so-lucky to be your married-in cousin! I want to go to that forest in British Columbia with you, and Greece sounds so dang sweet! You are incredibly talented with words and bless so many lives with your wisdom :). Be nice to "she"!! Love, Beck
You are beautiful. Take me to Iceland with you.
ReplyDeletewhat will the adventure be? do tell!
ReplyDeleteShe sounds an awful lot like me! :)
ReplyDeleteSHE can shop with ME in chicago
ReplyDeleteLOVE that picture!
ReplyDeleteand i feel the same way about radiohead. i just don't get it. but heck yes to 311!
