25 Things you guys said about me - #3

More than one person commented on my wardrobe back in high school. Yes I wore Gerbois jeans and yes I loved bright, big rugby shirts and most of them came from the J Crew catalog. Here are some pics showing off my awesomeness from more than 15 years ago. This is also in honor of the STOMP we had last week end. GO BULLDOGS


loved this shirt - had a blue version of it too. In fact I wore this one well into college.


Ary + KT = TLA
nothing more to say about his one


I actually still own this rugby shirt. I take it with me to outdoor concerts. I just do. I loved that hat but I think Reuben stole it. I believe this picture was at one of the famous stomps.


Green was my favorite color - thus this became one of my favoirte shirts. These girls are still my home girls. Wendy - the queen of the slopes and the river, CJane - well you know her, and Amber - mother of 7 (triplets and twins).

Hanging on the heaters - they don't exist anymore. I made these "boxers" in clothing with Mrs. Price. Loved them. I used to sit on these heaters with Melinda and as boys walked by we would try to decide if they were wearing boxers and butt huggers (sometimes we called them tighty whiteies). Ah good times.

I remember getting this rugby shirt for Christmas and wearing it the first day back and at least three other people had the same shirt that day.

I couldn't find a picture of me wearing my Gerbois jeans so I found this one of BJ's girlfriend - you know, Keri N.

Katy and Katie or Katie times two or Katie squared


I stole this one from my brother's closet. Loved it too.


Can't really tell but it is polo - the little guy on the horse is cut off.

So that post should have addressed the following comments:

  1. Before Katy left on a 2 year mission she put all of her precious clothing (rugbys) in a box with a LOCK on it so little sister Ann Dee could not wear them while she was away. Actually I locked up my CDs - I trusted my siblings with my clothing but not my CDs.
  2. Remember in the 90's the cool pants were Geurbois (I don't remember how it is spelled) you know the pants I am talking about, they had the white label on the front zipper. Anyway, they had a skinny long pocket in the leg by the knee. Katy used that pocket to hold feminine hygiene products. This is true - I loved to keep tampons in those pockets and I loved to make boys feel dumb by trying to get them to guess what I kept in there.
  3. BTW, I somehow broke the lock or something because while Katy was on her mission she saw a picture of Tamara Pace (Kim's sister) wearing one of her precious rugbys. Oh the horror . . . This was actually in high school - Kim had taken one of my shirts from my closet and one day at school I saw Tam Pace (an older and cooler girl) wearing my rugby. Boy did Ann Dee feel the pain and probably Kim too.
  4. Also, Katy kept J Crew stock holders very happy in the 1990s. My mom thought it was much easier to order over the phone than to get out and shop. Mostly J Crew but sometimes Eddie Bauer - I still keep their stock holders very happy.

You should never love something ...

THAT CAN'T LOVE YOU BACK!

As I drove away from the dealership on Monday. Larry decided it was time to teach me this very important lesson in life.

Well - I was so excited about my new car that I didn't even say goodbye to this old friend. Ironically earlier that day I was joking around about how silly I thought it was that an employee had asked to spend some time with the museum's animals to say goodbye. And now here I am dedicating a whole post to a non-living thing.

So this post is in honor of the second car (and yes, second Volkswagen) I have ever owned.



I bought this car in 2002 and a few months later drove her all the way to Pennsylvania where I was happy to drive around State College with a UT license plate.

Thank you for the memories. Here are a few:
  • Trying to get friends and family to call you Coleoptera (Insect order for beetle) - it never did stick
  • Waiting and waiting for the dealership to fix your automatic window on the drivers side - I drove backwards through the Crest drive up more than once
  • Watching kids hit each other and then yell "Slug bug silver"
  • Dozen or so road trips to St. George/Vegas - especially that one when we brought back Vega
  • Rolling down hills cause your emergency brake wasn't very reliable - check out this video
  • BDAA - just you and me Beetle - good times


Meet my new lover ...
Hoping this relationship will last 10+



What do you think?

Philadelphia - last day (Rocky stairs)

This is a little late. I've been home from Philadelphia for a few weeks now. But anyway, the last day I went with this lady on a little adventure.

Meet Rieta - my boss' wife.

We walked a good two miles to get to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and we didn't even go in.



We saw things things on our way - the love statue, the thinker and some lichen.

We both ran up the stairs of the museum like that boxer guy.



Yup - that guy.

I have started to train like Rocky for the triathlon. I've stopped now - it's got a little too "million dollar babyish." Enjoy this video.

By the way, Friday after work I completed my very own triathlon. Read about it here on my Intuitive Eating blog.

I wanted to document a few more things about that trip. First the iphone map application was so awesome to use in a big city especially when you have no car. It uses GPS to guide you as you walk - loved it.

The last keynote speaker was great.

His name is Malcolm Gladwell and he talked about how hard work and determination is more important than raw talent. It was truly inspirational.

25 Things you guys said about me - #2

OK folks ...

Don't worry a rant is coming. I'm working on it.

Only Kristi wanted to see my bird list so I'll just email her a copy.

Erica - someday you will see BDAA footage. I promise.

Another Cooking for One episode is coming ... in fact I have the footage from my new episode and just need to edit it and post. Holly and I shot this one a few months ago.



YES - that Holly. The one that mentioned how I didn't know the word "word" while playing Jeopardy on the computer back in 1993 or somewhere around that time. But she didn't either. We were both having a brain fart.

Yes that did happen. I remember that I always named my contestant Hugh Jass cause I thought it was sooo funny. You know - Bart Simpson style. I also remember writing a script for an assembly in high school and included that joke. The principal that reviewed the script missed it so our inappropriate joke passed. Ha!

I'm going to start by giving you my take on the 25 random things you all said about me - as I said I would and as Lezlie wants me to. This was item #2.
