</div><div style="text-align: center;">So maybe this year, if I call them ambitions, I'll do better.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have a few manageable <strike> goals </strike>ambitions for the year.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Make my apartment into a home. -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Finish an entire rewrite of my novel. -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Try to be all around more healthy. -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Read 75 books. Yes. 75. I managed 50 last year. I'm going to do even better this year! -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Post a new video to Kate's Book Club every week. (With four freebies.) -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Post a blog post every week. (With four freebies.) -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Try not to let the little things bother me. -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Those sound like some good ambitions, right?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think so.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy New Year, everyone!</div>Kate Weberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798792089542914219noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358835957900973807.post-1382007951286898222011-12-31T11:59:00.000-08:002012-01-01T14:07:12.366-08:002011<div style="text-align: center;">In hindsight - 2011.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, in that case. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have started posting on my blog again right before Christmas when I was busy having holiday merriment thrust upon me. Oh well.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Without further ado, the recap of twenty-eleven.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Highlights:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I kissed my wonderful boyfriend for the first time. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I moved out to state. Utah to Las Vegas! An awesome, scary, wonderful choice! -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I went to Louisiana with my sister and some friends! It was amazing! Now I can say I've been to 33 states! -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I kissed my incredible boyfriend some more. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I got a job as a preschool teacher. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I visited California to see my boyfriend. We went to the beach. My first time since I was 14. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I saw Sugarland, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, The Cataracts and B.O.B. in concert. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">I tried beignets, adobo and sushi for the first time. I liked the first two a lot! -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I met my boyfriend's family. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I introduced my boyfriend to my family. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I got the keys to my very own apartment. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I was kissed under the mistletoe. -</div><div style="text-align: center;">- I read 51 books! - </div><div style="text-align: center;">- I made adult decisions and it's actually working. It's terrifying, but I'm still going strong.-</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This entire year has been one of the hardest things I've ever done. I made a giant leap and moved to Vegas. I've moved out of my parent's house twice before and failed both time. When things got hard, I'd just give up.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Things have been much harder this time. I'm six hours further than I was the other times. I had a much harder time finding a job. And even when I did, I was miserable going to work a good chunk of the time. But something was different. Even though things were awful, I still got up and did what I needed to do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been here longer than I made it both those other times combined. And I just got the key to my own place. It's a tiny little apartment, but it's exactly what I need right now. It's a scary (terrifying) new adventure, but I'm feeling more capable than I ever have in my life. I can do this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've learned a lot about the world and about myself this year. These experiences, good and bad, have helped me grow so much as a person.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm excited for the new year, but I'm sad to see 2011 go. It was an absolutely incredible year.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I fail at blogging.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Way to go, Kate. Start a full time job and just drop off the face of the blog-o-sphere.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I'm going to be honest about one more thing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've missed this so much.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I realized that this is Simply Kate's<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> 2nd </span>birthday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was so excited.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Until I realized that I haven't posted in nearly two and a half months.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>One:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Earlier this week, I celebrated my channel 2 year anniversary on YouTube! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was quite a party!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Yms2QyCBVQs" width="640"></iframe></center><center><br />
</center><center><b>Two:</b></center><center><br />
</center><center>I finished my Summer 2011 Reading List!</center><center><br />
</center><center>My deadline was September 30th, and I finished early. There was a total of 21 books on the list and 7,969 pages read. I'm pretty impressed with myself.</center><center><br />
</center><center>(That's not counting the extra five books (1,842 pages) that I also read this summer.</center><center><br />
</center><center>You can check out <a href="http://simplykateweber.blogspot.com/2009/06/summer-reading-list.html">the completed list here!</a></center><center><br />
</center><center><b>Three:</b></center><center><b><br />
</b></center><center>I have officially started my Autumn 2011 Reading List!</center><center><br />
</center><center>You can <a href="http://simplykateweber.blogspot.com/2009/05/autumn-2011-reading-list_26.html">check that out here!</a></center><center><br />
</center><center><b>Four:</b></center><center><br />
</center><center>I've finally received my complimentary flyers from that giveaway I had last month.</center><center><br />
</center><center>I'm so excited about them!</center><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitlrMysEe0YpRp_l0QfjNm9nXzVi5yEa2BM5Ubtnt8sy0yJM5PQ5L_zBlbgi8Yif-rqeChMIEtFEIvq_GXkO7CE2lA4rCLcNOxUIlv0ys-xVartVFxqGWBoCSGvWdD08XrEpKvnWZl89Y/s1600/flyer+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitlrMysEe0YpRp_l0QfjNm9nXzVi5yEa2BM5Ubtnt8sy0yJM5PQ5L_zBlbgi8Yif-rqeChMIEtFEIvq_GXkO7CE2lA4rCLcNOxUIlv0ys-xVartVFxqGWBoCSGvWdD08XrEpKvnWZl89Y/s640/flyer+4.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<center><br />
</center><center>I'm so excited to start using these adorable flyers in the books I read! They are blank on one side and are only 4x6 so I can easily slip them into library books with thoughts about the books I've read!</center><center><br />
</center><center>I think it would even be fun to stop into book stores (especially when I travel) to drop off a few! Who knows! Maybe one of you will find one in a book that you read! Keep an eye out!</center><center><br />
</center><center>I thought it was a great way to use my reward and get the word out about my blog.</center><center><br />
</center><center>So fun!</center><center><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So cute right?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was so easy to place embellishments and I was so happy to find out that all of my existing digital scrapbook embellishments are usable in this program!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">What is your favorite part of scrapbooking?</div>Kate Weberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798792089542914219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358835957900973807.post-90512814866793550412011-09-12T09:00:00.000-07:002011-09-12T09:00:08.749-07:00The Bright Side<div style="text-align: center;">I'm going to be honest.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Working with kids isn't always a stroll through the daisies.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They may look cute and harmless.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But unlike daisies, kids are loud, chaotic and definitely don't smell like a field of flowers.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I come home from work every day absolutely exhausted and drained.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's not all bad though.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When I get home, I get to tell everyone about the funny things my little kiddos do.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And something that's even better than silly stories.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Kids have birthdays.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And when they have birthdays, they bring yummy Sesame Street characters for me to munch on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Elmo came to see you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I've been given a fantastic opportunity!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was given a free version of <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/digital_scrapbooking_software">My Memories Suite!</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wait, you don't know what that is?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's a program dedicated COMPLETELY to Digital Scrapbooking!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Needless to say, I am thrilled!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://simplykateweber.blogspot.com/2011/05/scrapbooking.html">Cause I love Digital Scrapbooking!</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This program is incredible! And that's saying a lot when you know how much I adore Photoshop!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I spent the afternoon tinkering around in this program.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6DGJ6f77RFGNqKB8KmziNLlV_yMOLLhUDxsi2OiZKMm5jkwBJAUUoM-pc3QfcrvtIe4UrXVH_GAANwjzIKyb3CYdA5Qobdw-eo-K0gnn1B3M0Xpk4n6IIJIw3WoVfLednXy5CcVeJvY/s1600/Testing-001+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6DGJ6f77RFGNqKB8KmziNLlV_yMOLLhUDxsi2OiZKMm5jkwBJAUUoM-pc3QfcrvtIe4UrXVH_GAANwjzIKyb3CYdA5Qobdw-eo-K0gnn1B3M0Xpk4n6IIJIw3WoVfLednXy5CcVeJvY/s640/Testing-001+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cute right?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's officially one of my favorite scrapbook pages ever!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And it's even made with stuff I bought in the <a href="http://www.mymemories.com/">My Memories Store!</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(The "Pretty In Pink" pack to be precise!)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And there are a couple great features to this program that I discovered! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1. There is an Auto-Mat Tool! If you want a simple mat on your photo, you can easily choose the size and color. And better yet! You can set it up so that every photo on a page has the exact same mat settings! AWESOME!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. The Align/Space Tool! This was especially helpful when making the above page. You can line things up straight. And then you can space them EVENLY! I love this program!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There's bound to be other amazing things and I'm excited to find them out when I make more pages!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now here's the exciting news!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Saddest Memory:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">- Picture a mess of tears anytime I worried about money. Which was frequent. -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's a reread, and it was just as magical the second time! -</div><div style="text-align: center;">-The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan - Such a fun novel.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Overall Impression:</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">It always astounds me how the months with the least amount of highlights are the ones where I am the busiest. I've been working so hard these past two weeks and it's been very rewarding. And exhausting. Being an adult is super scary, and was very much on the forefront of my mind this month. But I think I did a pretty good job at keeping it together and sucking it up.</div>Kate Weberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798792089542914219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358835957900973807.post-61426032632481389222011-09-02T09:00:00.000-07:002011-09-03T12:16:27.633-07:00Entwined by Heather Dixon<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's astonishing how fast this month went by now that I look back on it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But as it happened, it felt like the longest month of my life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But even still, I posted every single day of the month.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That's right folks!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I Blogged Every Day in August!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Feel free to go through my posts this month! I'd love to see what you think!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm even more impressed because I had so much drama with work and interviews and orientations and money. It's been a stressful month. And it was definitely a struggle to post every single day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I did it and I feel proud!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now allow me to take a few days off! See you this weekend! I'll be a blogging fiend this weekend!</div>Kate Weberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798792089542914219noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358835957900973807.post-19971896739900539172011-08-30T09:00:00.000-07:002011-08-30T09:00:08.782-07:00All About YOU!<div style="text-align: center;">I'm feeling very cut off from the world.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">With my new job taking up the majority of my day, I don't feel like I have nearly as much time to blog and connect with all of you like I used to!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So this post is all about you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's have a discussion!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am going to ask you a few questions and then I want you all to answer them in the comments!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You can answer all of them, or some of them, or only one of them. I just want to hear your thoughts!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If I like the things you have you say, I might feature your comments right here in an upcoming blog post!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Fun right?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think so.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Topic One: Where are you working right now? Do you like your job?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Topic Two: What are you reading right now? Thoughts? What books do you WISH you were reading? What are you all time favorite books?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Topic Three: How do you find time to blog when you are working full time? What do you blog about? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Topic Four: If you could pick one sandwich to eat for the rest of your life, which one would it be?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll answer all of these questions in a future post right alongside some of my favorite comments from you! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's hear what YOU have to say!</div>Kate Weberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798792089542914219noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358835957900973807.post-49137131055816303832011-08-29T00:20:00.000-07:002011-09-11T09:52:55.212-07:00Hoping to Win an ARC<div style="text-align: center;">Well hello, my friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Have you ever read a book that you enjoyed so much that you just couldn't possibly wait for the next installment to hit shelves.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, that's how I'm feeling about The Infernal Devices Trilogy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Cassandra Clare is holding a contest. And one lucky person gets a copy of Clockwork Prince before it hits shelves on December 6th.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Badly.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I made this!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it's pretty darn awesome if I do say so myself. I spent a lot of time on it to make it look like it matches the other two.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This week I worked 50.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And today was my only day off.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's over way too fast and now I get to do it all over again tomorrow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Luckily, I really like my job so far. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I simply wish I could have another 24 hours to relax.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisQtOEzbz6TAYnsP1XAElzaiiP7fDchiloEkjV6EyCZC480gRgtw2fku1UgZwC8X1ww3BK2jArgnIJN0b9WQz-No6SepJGQrjAd5svfKBv798b3IP01qyKqo4K11F4j96iTc-eUGXV3K4/s1600/Ghost.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisQtOEzbz6TAYnsP1XAElzaiiP7fDchiloEkjV6EyCZC480gRgtw2fku1UgZwC8X1ww3BK2jArgnIJN0b9WQz-No6SepJGQrjAd5svfKBv798b3IP01qyKqo4K11F4j96iTc-eUGXV3K4/s640/Ghost.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>It's filled with a friendly ghost, and I'm pretty sure that's the only reason why this old thing has lasted this long.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He takes care of things for me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But sometimes, ghostie is a bit mischievous.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Shutting down programs when I haven't saved a project causing me to lose a LOT of data and work.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Holding my backgammon dice in a state of endless limbo, causing me to close the game and count my losses.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But last night was the first time that Mr. Ghost decided he wanted to be just plain mean.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've started a new job. And for that job, I have to wake up pretty early sometimes. But I am a night owl and a sleep procrastinator by nature.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Last night, I went to bed a little too late.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was finally exhausted and was falling asleep on my pillow when my computer roared back to life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I pop up off of my pillow and look at the screen, waiting for it to update or something.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nothing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Just my desktop.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I groan and get out of bed and put it back to sleep.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I get back in bed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And it wakes up again the moment my head hits the pillow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, I know that I haven't been on my computer nearly as much since I've gotten my job, but my computer ghost friend had gone too far.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Three more times he did this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I turned him off.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And I was spooked.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't sleep well last night just waiting for the haunted HP to turn back on.</div>Kate Weberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02798792089542914219noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358835957900973807.post-45854584589550556212011-08-26T08:04:00.000-07:002011-08-26T08:04:04.730-07:00Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!<div style="text-align: center;">Err, except that the winner won't actually get chicken.
