rain means...

Molly's upset! It's raining today which means obviously no one wants to be outside. Well unless you're my dog. Molly really wants to be outside apparently, but she just doesn't wanna get all wet. Look!...

She wants to be outside soo badly! I walked in the room and she was laying by her dog door with the saddest puppy face. I felt so bad, but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about the rain. I'm sorry, Molly.....

i should be fat

Seriously.. I'm not kidding! 

My nightstand looks like this:

& this isn't even half of the junk food in the house! 

I should be fat....

i want to scream every time

Soo I'm sure everyone has seen a local car dealer commercial, right? Well, I personally cannot stand them! I'm not kidding when I say I want to scream every time I see one...

As a graduated marketing major, I know for a fact that the people making these commercials are complete idiots! I'm sure they just took the idea of the vice president of the company and went with it. Either way, the VP should have some kind of business and marketing background, but from the looks of these commercials, it looks like he went to Clown College (literally).

The one I saw today that made me write this was probably one of the worst ones I have seen. Here's a little taste of what it looked like:

The VP was dressed up in a clown costume while the GM was dressed in a cowboy costume just telling people to buy their cars. WTF is wrong with these people? Honestly, I don't even remember which car dealer the commercial was advertising... that's how bad it was!

Worst commercial ever! Well... worst car dealer commercial EVER!

ouch! wtf was that?!

I'm a very self-conscious person - I'm always worried about what other people think of me. I know it's wrong and I shouldn't worry so much, but I do. It's not that I'm not myself (believe me, I'm myself), it's just I think and worry way too much.

I'm much too lazy to do my hair and makeup every morning, but that doesn't mean I don't care about the way I look. I always try to look presentable no matter where I go - this just means I don't leave the house looking like a complete mess. So obviously since I don't do my makeup every day, I never really see my face close up.

Anyway... getting to the point - the BF and I were just lounging around the house one day last week when he started sweetly rubbing my cheek. Well, it turns out that he somehow found a hair! No, this is NOT a normal occurrence and I do NOT have facial hair - I'm 22 damn it! He realized that this wasn't just any hair though... it was a monster hair!

At least it was blonde! Anyway... I told him to try pulling it out, so he did and I let out a nasty scream because seriously, this thing was about 2 inches long (wtf?)! Don't ask me how it got there or that long because I have absolutely no idea. I quickly ran to the bathroom, grabbed my handy-dandy tweezers, and plucked that baby out like a mofo! Be gone monster hair - and please never come back!

marionette, me.

Soo the BF and I were super bored the other night. We sat around for about an hour discussing possibilities of things to do....

..... without any real outcome as you can see! 

(I don't know why I'm squatting - sorry about that)

So in an attempt to make our boredom a little less torturous, the BF decided to play a game with me. That game was make Katie into a marionette.

Okay, maybe I didn't mean it literally, but what happened was the BF grabbed hold of my feet while I was laying on my back and started waving them around in the air (like he just didn't care - yea, sorry, I had to do it). He was actually having a great time and I couldn't have been laughing harder. I think it was a fun night after all! .... Seriously, how lame are we?

calm down, i'm not that bad am i?

The BF was sick all last week with a nasty cold which led to the bronchitis he has now. Fortunately he's feeling a heck of a lot better, but still has a small cough. Anyway... the entire time he was sick, I wanted to make things easier on him. He was stuck in bed for a couple of days with really nothing to do but watch TV (not that he doesn't love TV), but to make things worse the TV schedule was just horrible! It seemed like every channel he turned to had absolutely nothing decent on to watch. Finally, he resorted to putting on a movie we had lying around the house.

Besides trying to make his in-bed experience better (boy that sounds dirty; it's not meant to be) I wanted to make things easier on him when we had to run a few errands - so he wasn't getting off the hook entirely. I figured I would be nice and decided that if we wanted to go out anywhere, I would drive. 

Now, I never drive - I hate driving! I've had my license for about 5 years now, but I only drive when I have to; for instance, if the BF has a few drinks at the bar, of course I drive (neither of us are that stupid)! But like I said, this week was different since he wasn't feeling well. Unfortunately though, this is what I had to deal with the entire time I was driving last week:

Okay, maybe I exaggerated the situation a little bit, but I guarantee you that's what he was thinking. And either way I'm seriously starting to believe that he really doesn't like my driving...

Have a great weekend!

for just one day

Okay, so I've noticed that most of us that follow blogs here are females. With that being said, I have a question for all of you. If you could be anything for just one day what would it be?? 

I've thought about this for many, many years... You would not believe how many things I have come up with, but it's always that one thing that comes back every time. I'm almost positive all of you reading this have thought about the same thing at one time or another, so here goes....

If I could be anything for just one day I would be a guy! - Not it a weird way. Now, I'm not saying I want to be a male forever in any way, but seriously, I just want to know what it's like to be a man... and everything that comes with it! I mean there is just so much that we don't know as girls and it kind of bothers me. Maybe I'm just weird, but I really am curious to know what it's like to be a dude! Honestly, even though I would want to do this, I think I'd be a little freaked out if it actually happened.

Am I weird? Have you thought about this too? Anyway... think about this... if you could be anything for just one day, what would you be???

P.S. I will make my special announcement tomorrow instead - Please be sure to check it out!

when i grow up

Today I got to thinking about potential careers. I graduated college with a bachelor's degree in business and marketing, but I really don't think I would enjoy doing that every day for basically the rest of my life. I've been out of school for over a year now and I still have yet to come up with a job I would absolutely enjoy, or at the very least wouldn't mind having. Until today.... I finally figured it out...

I want to be a professional tornado chaser when I grow up! I know I should already be grown up, but I don't like to think of it like that. I don't want to have that grown up responsibility - none of us really do. Anyway, I think it'd be soo much fun to chase tornadoes for a living, especially this year since the US has already had so many devastating tornadoes across the country.  I've been watching a lot of shows about tornadoes and storm chasing lately - I want to be them! I want to be right there in the middle of a tornado taking measurements and all that fancy stuff that I have no clue how to do!

Can you imagine me..... a storm chaser?!?

Yes? No? Maybe?

let the tears fall

I had nothing to do last night! The BF was working on art commissions so I was free to do basically anything I wanted. I didn't feel like going out, so instead I read through comments (I LOVED them all!)... I did the dishes... I browsed the internet a little bit. After a while I started flipping through the channels to see if there was anything good on TV....

If you follow me on Twitter, you may know that I ended up watching Dear John (the only reason I was able to watch it was because the BF had his headphones on). It's such a good movie, but DAMN it makes me ball my eyes out! I've seen the movie over 3 times so I thought I would be able to watch it without crying.. Well, I was totally wrong! I tried to hold back, but the tears just kept streaming down my face the entire movie.

It turned out to be a great night. Yes, I cried, but you know what... I love the movie so much that I didn't care!

P.S. Our chicken parmigiana dinner last night was amazing! Thanks so much for all the comments :)

putrid poultry

Last night, the BF and I decided we would make chicken parmigiana for dinner. We went to the grocery store to pick up everything we needed - ya know, only the essentials... chicken, cheese, spaghetti, sauce, ice cream! Unfortunately I have this bad habit of picking up everything that looks good and this time it was ice cream. Of course, the BF insisted that I shouldn't get it, but somehow it ended up in the shopping cart anyway (at least it was only Skinny Cow - low in fat and sugar, but still sooo yummy!).

When we got home, we figured it was time to make dinner. The BF took the chicken out of the bag and opened it up only to smell that disgusting bad chicken odor!

I couldn't believe it! I was so disappointed - this was now the 5th time that we've gotten bad chicken from this grocery store. After swearing a little bit and stomping around the house for a few minutes, we ended up going back to the store to return the chicken. For $11 I should have received fresh chicken! We got to the front desk and I felt so bad for the lady at the counter... she had to open the bag and smell the chicken to see if it was actually bad - and boy did she get a nice wiff of that nasty chicken! 

In the end they refunded my money, but they also lost a customer because I'm NEVER buying chicken there again! Now I'm off to try it again... hopefully with fresh chicken this time.

toilet talk

I ended up going to AnimeNext for the first time ever today with the BF and two of our really good friends. Let me tell you.... It was such an interesting experience! I'm not really interested in anime, but I had a lot of fun anyway. I pretty much went to see some of my favorite artists. I know I said I wasn't interested in anime, and that is true, but the artwork that some of these people create are just amazing!

On the ride home, we had one of the strangest conversations. Now, don't get me wrong... when we're with these two friends, we definitely have strange conversations, but I'm not sure anything else can top this one - TOILETS! We had about an hour drive home and we spent half of it talking about how great my toilet is.

Some really great points during this conversation included:
1. The flushing is similar to that on an airplane; does its job and does it quickly!
2. The seat goes down slowly; no slamming = no loud noises during your middle-of-the-night pee.
3. It's just perfect, damn it!

Who in their right mind talks in-depth about toilets for a half hour?? Only us! Since we had this highly intelligent conversation about my toilet, I felt it was only right to write today's blog from my toilet.

Just kidding... or am I?!

oh, heyy life!

A few things about oh, heyy life! and katie elizabeth that you must know:

1. i, katie elizabeth, am neurotic, filled with anxiety, and a dreamer - quite possibly the most important although i am not actually neurotic i just have some tendencies - i am not perfect
2. oh, heyy life! will consist of ridiculous thoughts and ramblings from the mind of me, katie elizabeth; photos and drawings will also be posted frequently

I've created oh, heyy life! to describe and explore my own thoughts and experiences while my followers can enjoy them as I know my friends and family do. I'm prepared to take you on a comedic journey of my daily life that I know so many of you can and will probably relate to.

Over the past few years, I have developed anxiety of just about everything in this thing we call life. From the food I eat to the places I go, anxiety is always present. I'm sure soo many others can relate and that's one reason I wanted to create oh, heyy life!

It's been a long journey to get where I am today, but I realized that in order to have a life, I needed to conquer some of those fears, big or small, every day. You'll see through this blog that I'm not only not perfect, but you'll also see that my experiences are somewhat funny and sometimes pretty pathetic. I've had a lot of fun conquering some of my fears - some are experiences that I will never forget and some that have turned into things I love to do. You'll see....... but I say "Oh, heyy life!"
