As most of you know, Scott and I decided to opt out of renewing our lease for another year on our amazing apartment. With my job ending soon, I just can’t predict where I’ll be or whether I can even afford anything. Scott was sad, as was I, but we both agreed it was for the best. I flew Dave up here to help out with the move, and boy am I glad I did. All my stuff is now in storage and I’m in the process of cleaning. Or should I say, I’m in the process of procrastinating my cleaning. My computer is the last thing I am breaking down. It will join me at my sister’s where we will undoubtedly get in the way and cause much stress on the wonderful sister bond. Which means my nights on her couch will be dispersed amongst nights on other people’s couches as well as my other sister’s place. So if you every hear me say, “Hey, why don’t you have a party. I’ll come. Can I crash there if I drink too much?” It really means, “hey I’m looking for a place to crash, let’s drink as an excuse.”
On a side note, people have been hounding me to show my hair. These pics don’t really show how much darker it seemed. But the comparison of before after should show you that in two months, it’s been a drastic change…and I like it.
First the Hair Pics (note my long hair was actually a couple inches longer than this when it was first cut off, but this is the most recent picture I could find):
And now for the move pics: I love the one of Dave with the dog because we were getting so sick and tired of people coming by wanting to see the aparment when we were in the middle of utter chaos and, of course, I can’t say no to people so when this girl stopped by with her dog, I said she could come on in and look. She promptly handed her dog off to Dave who suddenly went from moving helper to dog watcher. And that is precisely what his face is expressing. The other pics are us being silly (not sure what was on my butt) and the last picture of me and Scott on our porch before the final “separation.” 🙂
KT..
like the haircut… are you still going out on your last trip on sept 3? I know KB aint going out til the 10th… KB might go out to the tri with me.. you could come kick it too 🙂 BTW… i’m looking for someone to go to the wazzu game in seattle with me on Aug 30… interested?
LOVE the hair pictures! You have always been (and still are) so pretty! I’m jealous. Pretty and smart….you prove that it does happen=) As far as cleaning…do you have any military kids in your neighborhood?? You could probably hire them to do it for you and you know they would do a good job..hee hee hee.
Hello..do you not know my phone number? I would have liked to seen Dave on a pleasent occasion. Golly girl…make me saddy sad. Hope your packing goes well..and your cleaning..I know you and last day cleaning..hehehe!!
Speaking of travel: are you headed to Massachusetts tomorrow? Have they told you whether or not they’ll let you fly back to Seattle back in time to see me when I’m in town, or are they still intent on keeping you on the road for several extra days? I’m flying out to the Left Coast on Aug 8th (holy shit! Where has this summer gone????)
As it stands now, they still don’t know if I’m out for a week or more. They will update me on Friday. Worst case scenario, I won’t know until Tuesday night if I will be flying home Wednesday morning or not.
Hey Katie,
Goodluck with your move and all. hope you can get settle quickly, I know couch surfing can be a pain, and since I can’t drink that much anymore it’s an even bigger pain for me. But really, best of luck and all those other pleasantries
Oh, yeah, I have to say I’m a sucker for either long hair or chicks with bobs, but it does give you a more grown up look.
Hey Katie – for as long as I have a couch, you can come crash on it, and you don’t even have to drink. Mind you, I’m not sure how much longer I’ll have one. Love the hair, and Laura says hi and that she’s sorry you weren’t here in humid Iowa with us. No waterpark today, we’re getting thunderstorms.
Hey, you make it sound like your time on my couch is going to be awful! You know we will probably hardly ever see each other with as much as you and I are working or on the road. Remember, I only have one rule…you can make a horrendous mess as long as it doesn’t involve dirty dishes! Hope your trip to Mass. is fun.
Oh yeah..and I like your hair.
KT, the hair looks fabu (can I say that, Joey?) You can’t sleep on my couch, but I do have a hammok that I can string up in the backyard if you’re at all interested.
Your hair looks great! And you can surf my couch, too…and if I’m on a bike trip when you’re home, you can apt.-sit for me!
yeah, you look hot with the haircut. don’t cut it too short though. That whole “I’m cutting it short so it’s easier to manage” is a big load of BS. I don’t know what was on your butt either but you look hot getting spanked.
Yea Katie, I do agree, You do look “hot” with that new haircut. Is that biased? I hope so.
