January: A Month in the Life of Kate
11:41 PM
Before I unfortunately deleted my blog in December, it was tradition that at the end of each month, I would write a post about the happenings of my month. I didn't blog nearly as much as I do now, and it was my way of not feeling guilty about not posting regularly. But they served a purpose much more important than that. It was great to be able to read through a short post about my month if I had forgotten something down the road. They are the things about that old blog that I miss the most. So, I'm bringing them back.
Most Memorable Moments:
- 1st ~ Happy New Year! I spent the day filming a music video with one of my best friends. I like to direct, she likes to act (she actually got the part of Maria in West Side Story at Snow College this month! Congrats Nashelle!) so it's the perfect duo! I always love our filming days. They don't happen nearly enough.
- 3rd ~ I gave the lesson in Relief Society. It went well, and it was something that I had needed to learn. Whether anyone else got anything from it...
- 6th & 8th ~ I finished the last two books in the Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy. (Love these books!)
- 9th ~ I had a movie night with my sister, Kristi. It had been a while since I'd seen her, and it was great to just sit down and watch a movie. Coraline is awesome! (I love Neil Gaiman! I've read the book about five times and I am currently reading The Graveyard Book written by him as well.)
- 10th ~ Chuck is back! So happy! Those of you who don't watch Chuck, you are missing out.
- 11th ~ Happy YouTube anniversary! It's been two whole years!
- 16th ~ The Relief Society sisters got together for a getting to know you activity. At one point, I laughed so hard that I cried and my face contorted. It was not attractive, but it felt so good.
- 17th ~ Linger Longer! Oh dear, such fun.
- 18th ~ I went to lunch with my good friend Toni. Cafe Rio = Win! (Though Bajio is better.) Later that night, I went to my grandmother's house to eat soup and spend time with my extended family. Potato soup in bread bowl. So tasty, but was the death of my diet. Also, thank you so much for the quilt Grandma! I love it! I skipped out of dinner a little early and went to Family Home Evening for the ward. Good fun! Good fun was made great when I was asked on a date!
- 19th ~ I had a 'movie night' with one of the greatest girls I know, Brooke. Except we never got the movie and ended up chatting for five hours about boys.
- 21st ~ My date with Pete! We went to Avatar! Very much liked the movie, not so sure about the date.
- 22nd-29th ~ Life slowed down this week because I wasn't feeling great, physically or emotionally. (I was able to get in some awesome flirting time with the MBP boys, though.)
- 30th ~ My dad took me to Provo to spend time with my cousins! It was so much fun and though I was only able to see them for seven hours and I was sad to leave, it was a great day and I'm glad we did it.
- 31st ~ I slept. I slept a lot. I'm not quite sure how I did it. I went to bed around 1:30am and figured my body would wake itself up around 10; giving me plenty of time to get ready for church. I fell awake and checked the time. 2:30pm?! What?! Okay. No church today.
Happiest Moment: Arriving in Provo.
Saddest Moment: "Katie, I have some bad news." Okay, so the moment got increasingly worse as the news was spilled, but we'll say the bad news was the saddest moment. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. B, and those that have been devastated by the whole thing.
New Movies Watched:
- Avatar - I'd been wanting to see it for a very long time. It didn't disappoint. It wasn't quite what I expected, but I really enjoyed it!
- Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging - Based on the book "Angus, Thongs and Full-frontal Snogging." I read this book when I was in Jr. High and loved it! I didn't even know they had made it into a movie, and it was hilarious!
Books Read:
- The Waterless Sea by Kate Constable - So awesome! She is such an amazing storyteller.
- The Tenth Power by Kate Constable - Also awesome!
Favorite Food: Spinach Wraps! Avocado, a little bit of fat free ranch, turkey, cheddar, baby spinach and good to go!
Overall: It was a good month. There were a lot of confusing, flustering and depressing things thrown in and a lot of the time I had a hard time focusing on the good. But after writing this post I realize that there was an abundance of good things to be found. It was a good first step into 2010, but I'm not sad that we'll be moving into February...

2010!
11:43 PM
It's a new year! A new decade! I'm sitting here contemplating that in another ten year's time I'll be 30 years old. Wow. That seems so close, but seeing as I've only been alive for two decades so far, pretty sure that a decade will still take a while. (Let's hope.)
Here are some things I hope to happen in the next ten years:
There are many more I'm sure, but we'll leave it at that since I have quite a bit to list yet.
Goals for the year 2010:
A few things I'm looking forward to:
It's going to be a great year. I can feel it!
(Update from last post: I did not get a New Year's Eve kiss. Sadness, right? But it was a great night nonetheless. I think a random kiss might have just made things awkward. Maybe next year.)
Here are some things I hope to happen in the next ten years:
- Get married and start a family.
- Get my book published.
- Travel.
There are many more I'm sure, but we'll leave it at that since I have quite a bit to list yet.
Goals for the year 2010:
- Continue to lose weight.
- Do extensive revisions on my novel.
- Strive for a positive and upbeat attitude.
- Make more videos than I did in 2009.
- Read. A Lot!
- Strengthen existing friendships, and cultivate new ones.
- And most importantly, do all that I can to strengthen my relationship with my Heavenly Father.
A few things I'm looking forward to:
- NaNoWriMo 2010
- Assistant Directing the spring musical at the Jr. High.
- Getting a few church things under way.
- Being part of the cast of the community show.
- My 21st birthday! (Since I've turned 18, I've dreaded my birthdays. I'm excited for this one.)
It's going to be a great year. I can feel it!

A Kiss?
12:47 PM
Ready for a shocking revelation? Are you sure? Okay.
I've never been kissed on New Year's Eve.
I realize that I'm only 20, and I have plenty more December 31st's left for this to occur. But 20 years is a long time. I mean, granted for about probably 13 of those years, I wanted nothing to do with boys and I probably would have run away if one tried to kiss me. But now, here I am, 20 years old, and no prospective boys to kiss me at the beginning of the new decade.
So I thought I would leave a little personal ad, maybe catching a potential lip donor.

Hi. My name is Kat
e Weber. I'm 20 years old. I'm single, fairly normal, and I have a great sense of humor. I'm a great conversationalist as long as you don't expect me to come up with a starting topic. I'm a bit messy, but I simply have other priorities that trump cleaning. I like taking long walks on the beach, or I'm sure I would if I had a beach near my home. I love music, movies and books. I'm also in love with computers.
Lips: used, but in great condition. Also comes with large amounts of thick, long hair, perfect for running your fingers through. Warning: Emotional baggage likely to appear at some point.
If you are interested, leave me a comment!
XOXO Kate!
That wasn't desperate was it? *shrug*
Have a great new year, and I hope I was able to make you smile!
And remember "If you put a smile on your kisser, maybe someone will put a kiss on your smiler."

The Past Decade!
8:26 AM
I find it hard to believe in just a few short days it will be 2010. I remember when we were all at the crest of the new year ten years ago freaking out about Y2K. I was only ten years old. That was half of my lifetime ago. Yet it feels like it was yesterday.
In the past ten years:
In the past ten years:
- I had ten different birthdays.
- I became a Beehive, a Miamaid and a Laurel.
- I progressed into Relief Society and eventually became part of the R.S. Presidency.
- I learned how to drive. (And surprisingly haven't had a single accident or ticket in those five years.)
- I went to numerous stake dances.
- I had multiple crushes on stupid boys.
- And I had my heart broken by most of them.
- I did my first play, and have been in eleven others since then.
- I was the lead in two of those shows.
- I became best friends with three of my cousins.
- I also became best friends with a girl that will probably be my friend for the rest of my life.
- I had my first kiss.
- I went to five different schools in the same town.
- I went to High School.
- I finished a first draft of a novel.
- I made countless videos for YouTube.
- I moved out of my parents house.
- And I moved back home.
- I had multiple jobs, some great, others terrible.
- I spent ten years trying to figure out who I am, and while I didn't figure it out completely, I am excited to take advantage of the next ten to see if I can come to a conclusion.
