February: A Month in the Life of Kate
12:06 PM
Most Memorable Moments:
- 2nd ~ Happy Groundhogs Day. And more importantly, Happy Beginning of the End!... of LOST I mean.
- 9th ~ I had a Relief Society Meeting with the Stake R.S. Presidency. Such great ladies. (And they gave me Dove chocolate. That little square... oohhhh! I thought I was in Heaven. Whoever said chocolate was better than sex... Well... I haven't experienced the latter yet... I'll believe it until I can weigh the options carefully.)
- 13th ~ The Valentines Dance.
- 14th ~ Happy Valentines Day, I sang in Church!
- 20th ~ Nashelle's B-day (It's after the fact now. I don't care. I'm saying it anyway!)
- 21st ~ Linger Longer. I was able to reconnect with a few friends that I haven't seen in ages. Good stuff.
- 22nd ~ FHE. We played "Curses." HILARIOUS game. I made of fool of myself and it was great!
- 25th-27th ~ I went on a Road Trip down to see Nashelle perform as Maria in West Side Story and stay a few nights with her! Great show, great trip.
Happiest Moment: Hugging Nashelle after seeing her show for the first time.
Saddest Moment: Was also actually during the trip. I had a meltdown that Friday night. I'm not exactly sure why, but I was very upset.
New Movies Watched:
- Amazing Grace. Beautiful movie. Favorite quote: "It seems to me that if there is a bad taste in your mouth, you spit it out. You don't constantly swallow it back."
- We Are Marshall. Also a very beautiful movie. Very moving.
Books Read:
- Austenland by Shannon Hale. It's a reread, but I love it so much. Short and easy, hilarious, romantic, the works. Great book, definitely read it!
Favorite Food: Frozen Raspberries. I love raspberries, but they aren't in season. Frozen raspberries are amazing. Sweet already, low calories, and because they are frozen, take a while to eat and therefore don't need very many. They are the perfect snack.
Overall: It wasn't my best month. I've never loved February. I suppose it's the "I'm single in a world that seems to made up of couples." I know there are other single people in the world, I just don't notice them (and the single guys definitely don't acknowledge me) during February. I toughed it out though, and I think that I did a pretty good job keeping upbeat. Constant weight loss helped!

This and That
11:04 AM
You know, I've been trying to find events in my life that are blog worthy for nearly a week. Everything I do just seems too simple or mundane to create an entire blog post, let alone anything witty. I'm at a loss. So, I'm simply going to give you snippets from my life this past week.
I decided to start a gratitude journal. Well...blog actually. I decided that I needed reminding that there were good things in my life even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it. It's really only for me, and the past three days have been pretty great because of it. You are all welcome to read it, and I also encourage you to do the same. (I have yet to make it adorable, don't judge me.)
As of this morning, I have officially lost 20 pounds in 2 months. It's incredible what eating right and using appropriate portion sizes can do! I'm living testament that it works and hopefully will continue working.
I got roped into singing in a musical number in Sacrament Meeting on Valentines Day. It's not just me. It's a whole choir number. It's not a permanent choir, but I think that we should make it permanent. It's been so much fun, although challenging. We have one week to learn this song that has tricky four part harmony and piano and violin accompaniments. It's a BEAUTIFUL song. (And there are REALLY cute guys in the choir. Mmm. Music and musically talented boys. The best of both worlds.)
Sunday was full of butterflies and smiles. I know I said I don't think I'm feeling anything special for Pete, but I've always enjoyed it when a guy winks at me. He did so multiple times throughout the three hours we were both in the church house. Maybe the butterflies in my stomach were really feelings of guilt. Here was this guy that really seems to like me (for once) and I'm just not sure I can feel the same way about him. I've tried to make myself feel better by telling myself that he simply had an eyelash in his eye... that seemed to only plague him when he caught my gaze. Yeah. That's plausible, isn't it? Or maybe he hates me so much he has developed some kind of nervous tick that makes his face light up when he sees me. Am I doomed to only like guys that don't return the favor?
I've decided to go stag to the Valentine's Dance this Saturday. Is that pathetic? I don't think so. From what I heard from the guys at choir practice last night, they are all going, but don't have dates. No wonder I never date. The guys around here don't even ask girls to a free Valentines Day event. For crying out loud...
