You know what I am not good at? Coming up with post titles.
Prompt: Tell us about five things you want to do before you die.
Prompt: Tell us about five things you want to do before you die.
1. Go skydiving again. Now that I know how awesome and terrifying it is, I think it would be even more fun the second time.
2. Live somewhere that is not the midwest. Not forever, but long enough to get to know the area and to miss home.
3. Be a more consistent house cleaner. And not consistently bad, like I am now. I need to learn how to clean a little bit everyday instead of letting it get so bad and then having to do it all at once.
4. Take a pilates class and hopefully gain some flexibility. I have a pain in my shoulder that is not normal and I think that stretching and all that crap would probably help.
5. Host a holiday at my house. I don't think I am qualified to do that until I have kids. Plus no one wants to drive to Kansas for a holiday, especially when we are not providing a baby for entertainment. So this one might not happen.

So much for blogging every day in November.
The weekend is almost over. It was a pretty good one. I worked on Saturday morning and it was crazy busy yet went smoothly which I always like.
Church this morning, then lunch at Cilantro, which I read was better than Chipotle, but so was not. Next Sunday is my birthday lunch. It is getting harder and harder to celebrate my birthday without aging every year.
Prompt for today: What toy from your childhood do you still have in your possession?
The first thing that comes to mind is Paddington the teddy bear. I'm sure I have other things, but I know that either Mandy or I will have that ratty old bear forever.

I am a responsible adult.
Hello from John & Kim's living room. Chad and I are here babysitting the boys while J&K have a romantical anniversary date.
We put the boys to bed after playing baseball, coloring, eating dinner, playing wii, reading books, doing puzzles, going up and down the stairs, brushing teeth, lotioning, diapering, pajamaing and tucking in. Whew, I am exhausted.
Today's prompt: Tell us the story of a piece of jewelry you own. Where did it come from, and what does it mean to you?
I will tell you two stories: First, my cross necklace from Tiffany's. Need I say more? I was so excited to open it on Christmas Day that I screamed "My First Tiffany's!!" and Chad said "First!?!" So thanks Mom, for the necklace. I love it a lot.
Second is my wedding ring. It belonged to Chad's grandma. After her husband, Chad's grandpa, died, she gave it to Chad's aunt. Chad's aunt never got married and so she didn't wear it much.
One time when Chad and I were in the early dating stages, we went to his aunt's house for something and while we were there she whips out this ring and starts talking about how she is going to give it to Chad someday for when he proposes. And I was sitting right there! It was horribly awkward. I tried to look at anything besides the ring. I cannot convey the awkwardness of that situation. I didn't want to be like "ooo, let me see the ring!" but she was just waving it around right there in front of me! How did she know we were going to get married, I barely knew the guy!
Well apparently we did get married. Before he proposed, he went and got the ring from his aunt and then went to his Grandma's house to tell her that he wanted to give me the ring. So he said, "Grandma, I want to give Katie your ring." And she said, "That's nice dear, but you can't. I already gave the ring to your aunt Kathy." And then he had to explain that he already had the ring, etc. So she took it to her family jeweler to have it sized and then he asked and I said yes. The End.

Well, well, well...
This is my 300th post. Hard to believe I have rambled on for this long. Even harder to believe anyone is still reading.
A prompt from last month: Where were you and what were you doing ten years ago?
10 years ago I was 16 years old. Good grief, I was just a baby. I was a junior in high school and I was on vacation in New York with my father. I remember, because the Mets and the Yankees were playing each other in the World Series, and we could hear the crowds cheering at the stadium from our hotel room. Thanks dad, that was an awesome vacation!

November
It would appear the only way I can blog is to try and do it everyday.
So with a little help from this again, I will attempt to blog everyday in November.
November used to be my favorite month. My birthday is this month. While I haven't been excited to get any older these past for years, (how much longer do you think I can pull off 24?) I have still been excited to get presents. But this year I am turning 27 and that is such a grown-up age. I don't feel 27 and I don't want to talk about it anymore.
