I’ve been in a Four-Alarm Funk since this happened.  Agony does not bring out the best in me.  I am lucky my family hasn’t put me by the side of the road with a “Free To ANY Home” sign stuck to me.  I’ve been miserable all day, every day – for four months.  No relief.   Read more >

M&Ms

The women in my family sport varying degrees of athleticism.  Some of us have been on sports teams from the moment we were allowed to be, some of us abhor effort and sweat.  Regardless of our levels of inclination and training, most of us can walk faster than we can run.  If you are giggling right now, I know you know what I mean.  Sometimes we marvel at this phenomenon.  Usually twice a year when one of us gets a wild hair and decides to start a running routine, then decides against it.  “It’s so weird.  Read more >

I hurt myself on Friday.  I was a year-round, three sport a year athlete as a youngster and have worked out fairly regularly all of my adulthood.  Amazingly this is my first sports-related injury ever, aside from those blows that landed squarely on the crotch of my ego.  My mother would say my body shook off pain like a dog shakes off water because I am “built like a brick shit house.”  In my life I have leaned more toward injuries related to doing things like driving cars and walking down stairs, activities that I deem very high risk and with good reason.   Read more >

Size DOES Matter, Especially When You're Trapped Under It.

Over the weekend, Chris and Eva and I were at a stop light at an intersection across from a Behemoth of a Vehicular Monstrosity (BVM) with a Christmas tree bungeed to the top.  All appeared normal at that angle, and I smiled, as I do when I see families preparing to deck their halls.  The light turned, and the BVM turned left in front of us to reveal the smallest most pathetic Christmas tree ever, giving the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree a real run for its money.  Chris and I were like “Whaaaaaat” and Eva giggled.  I said “Wow, THAT is a story I want to know more about.”  Read more >

About Me: 

Hi, I’m Kate.  AKA Captain Power Nap.  Probation Officer by day; soccer coach, Girl Scout leader, backstage dance mom by night and weekend.  In my head I sing like Pink, have moves like Jagger, and a right cross like Laila Ali.  In real life, I have a 7 year old daughter who says “Leave a message at the beep. BEEP” when I am telling her something she doesn’t want to hear, a trainer who watches my bob and weave and just shakes his head and says “I’m laughing on the inside” and a boyfriend who just does not get why I HAVE to eat Skittles color by color.  I’m addicted to magazines, crime TV, nailpolish and lipgloss.  I am allergic to cleaning.

I’m really not all that funny.  Life on the other hand? Hilarious. I just report back.
