While we’re off gallivanting in New York City, I thought I would introduce you to the Katy from nearly a decade ago. This post was written on Tuesday, April 13, 2004, on “Postcards from Leeds,” a blog I kept during my year abroad as a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar in Leeds, England. Any comments in […]

Start spreading the news. We’re leaving today. (Actually, tomorrow.) We want to be a part of it. New York, New York. Sorry, I can’t help myself. I’ve been singing this song ever since Brian gifted me (on Valentine’s Day) with a trip to New York City. Actually he gifted me with a trip anywhere I […]

Prior to my incredibly lucrative career as a professional blogger (ahem), I was a motivational speaker. You can laugh. It’s funny to me too. [This is the same girl whose signature photo features her in a laundry basket eating Pringles, right?] Most of the motivational speaking I did was business-related. [That’s rich! Did they let […]

I see it as no coincidence that tornadoes are expected in Kansas around the same time as my parents in the middle of this week.

If you’re one of my lovely gentleman readers who is squeamish about “female things,” now would be a good time for you to find something a bit less unsettling to read. Like 2,000 pages of ObamaCare legislation. Take care, and we’ll see you tomorrow. Or after the next election.

When the afternoon begins with a professional hair and makeup artist and a photographer at the front door, you know it’s going to be a fun day. It all began yesterday at noon when über talented hair and makeup artist Mandy McKenna showed up with her 100 pound magic kit.

I just can’t get motivated to write a blog about the vlog I made about how to get motivated to vlog and/or blog. So, I’ll have to ask you to just enjoy this short vlog instead of a blog. Because I’m a slob. (That was a stretch.)

Since we had a pretty traumatic Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, I was excited to celebrate Easter Sunday with a newfound appreciation for the significance of the cross and the empty tomb.
