Happy 5th Anniversary To Us!

Kate Czlapinski — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 21:45:43 +0000

Today, Kevin and I are celebrating our 5th Anniversary together! To celebrate, tonight we will be heading to Toshi , where we had our second date (and where we now go every anniversary), and if we have room, we may even hit up J Fosters for some ice cream afterwards. I also took a few days off [...]

Thanks Tom!!!

Kate Czlapinski — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:11:39 +0000

So you probably didn’t notice, but on Sunday night my blog was down for awhile. Turns out my mom’s blog had a little problem and while trying to fix it, I may have sort of screwed up my own. Twice. The first time I was able to bring it back to all it’s original glory. [...]

Farewell Captain!

Kate Czlapinski — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 14:07:44 +0000

So I really don’t do goodbyes so well… this may be the understatement of the year. I like to think that I do many things well – saying goodbye is just not one of them. When my boss announced that she was leaving the company a couple of weeks ago, I was not [...]

Happy 25th Birthday, Dan!

Kate Czlapinski — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:17:00 +0000

Just wanted to take a moment to say happy birthday to my brother Dan, who turns 25 years old today, which is just completely mind boggling and absolutely ridiculous, because if he’s 25 years old, well that must make me (let’s see… carry the one…) … 112? I don’t know I was never so good [...]

Back at it…

Kate Czlapinski — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 23:04:00 +0000

So I’m back, posting again… What, you say? Two posts in two days? Well, that’s just ludicrous! Yes, that is just how I roll.

So maybe I took a little time off for the holidays… and most of the Fall. What do you want to make of it? Anyway, I am trying to get back into the swing [...]

Back and Better Than… Average!

Kate Czlapinski — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 23:19:03 +0000

My vacation has officially ended… and man did my first day back at work kick my butt! I am beat, so I’m not going to go into too much detail at this point about the vacation (from work and blogging), but I did want to direct your attention to My Recent Photos from our trips to Baltimore, [...]

Rams Head Tavern

Kate Czlapinski — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 11:14:21 +0000

Kevin and I are heading down to Baltimore today for the weekend and, in typical fashion, we really have no definite plans other than where we will be eating and drinking, which is fine by me, because I’m pretty sure that’s the most important part of the trip.

Tonight we will be meeting up with his friends [...]

Less Than One Week!!!

Kate Czlapinski — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:48:07 +0000

So it’s official! As I mentioned awhile back, I’ll be on vacation all next week and I could not be more excited. When I requested the week off , I wasn’t really sure exactly what I would be doing with my week, but I did have a few ideas. I’ve been throwing the ideas at [...]

Thoughts On David Ortiz’s Steroid Use

Kate Czlapinski — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 03:28:21 +0000

I wasn’t going to comment on the recent news concerning David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez testing positive on a performance enhancing drug test back in 2003, but I thought as a proud Yankees fan, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention it. The thing is… well, it’s complicated. My feelings about it are [...]

People Watching

Kate Czlapinski — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:29:39 +0000

As I’ve mentioned before, Kevin and I have been trying to hit up the gym more frequently these days. The other night as we were getting in from the gym and I was doing all my post-gym stretching, Kevin said what I really thought was the strangest thing. He said he feels bad, because he always [...]

Back From The Beach!

Kate Czlapinski — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 01:37:10 +0000

I’m baaaack! Well, I’ve actually been back since last night… but, seriously, who feels like writing anything after a day at the beach and then a long car ride home? I certainly don’t!

Great times were had in Rhode Island this weekend… Sunday was a perfect day for the beach and it was [...]

At the Beach, Beachez!

Kate Czlapinski — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 13:03:00 +0000

I know, that title is terrible… but it made me happy – and that’s what this blog is all about – my MASSIVE ego. When Facebook just isn’t enough for you, it’s time to start a blog.

Anyway, I am heading off to visit my BFF in the great state of RI – the [...]

Getting In Touch With My Rage

Kate Czlapinski — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 00:57:41 +0000

Overall, I’d have to say I’m a pretty mellow person. I just don’t tend to let things get to me the way that many people do. However, as I am getting older, I seem to be getting more and more in touch with my anger, which is probably a good thing, as when I was a [...]

Vacation

Kate Czlapinski — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:41:44 +0000

It seems that Mother Nature has finally gotten her act together and is sending us some Summer weather here in New England and it couldn’t come soon enough. All that rain and the chilly temperatures were really beginning to get me down!

Anyway, the other day I was thinking about the gorgeous weather and I realized, [...]

100th Consecutive Day of Blogging!

Kate Czlapinski — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:55:10 +0000

Well folks, this is it. I’ve really done it now; I have finally reached the end of the long dark tunnel. This is my 100th consecutive day of posting here. They perhaps have not all been the most quality posts, but damnit, they’ve been posts – and I’m proud of that.

There’s just no better feeling [...]

Mom’s New Blog

Kate Czlapinski — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:23:29 +0000

Have I mentioned before that I’m up for Daughter of The Year? Have I also mentioned that I’m a total glutton for punishment? No? I am.

So this should be fun… I’ve set up a little blog for my mom over at http://LindasNovelIdeas.com. We were talking about my blog and she was [...]

Yankees / Red Sox Rivalry

Kate Czlapinski — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:29:43 +0000

If you haven’t caught on by now from reading this blog, I’m a pretty big Yankees fan. I’ve been routing for them since I was a little kid and my parents would take me and my younger brother to at least one game almost every season. Living in Connecticut can make being a baseball fan quite [...]

80 Days!!!

Kate Czlapinski — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 21:33:07 +0000

So I have a very busy evening ahead of me (cookie baking and dinner with my friend Jenn) and probably won’t have time to write a real post, but I did want to call it to everyone’s attention that this marks my 80th consecutive day of posting. Woohoo!

I don’t think anyone is more shocked [...]

Who’s The Boss?

Kate Czlapinski — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:24:10 +0000

Who’s the boss in your family? This question was asked in 16 countries.

In 11 of 16 countries surveyed, Dad took the prize as head of the household. Only five countries picked Mom. Overall, the pro-Mom nations have less income disparity between men and women. Across borders, more men than women think Dad’s in charge, [...]

Porch Drinking Season Has Arrived!

Kate Czlapinski — Sun, 31 May 2009 22:06:54 +0000

After I returned home from washing and waxing my car at my parents’ house yesterday, Kevin and I made a trip out to the liquor store to stock up on beer and then to Lowe’s to spend half a fortune on soil, flowers, peppers, tomatoes and herbs. We then spent some time digging around in dirt [...]

As Good As… Gently Used!

Kate Czlapinski — Sat, 30 May 2009 20:14:06 +0000

Today I washed and waxed my car. This is an event, and quite blog-worthy, because this task hasn’t been performed in much longer than I really care to admit. Once upon a time, it used to get done much more frequently, but since I moved out of my parents’ house a couple of years ago and [...]
