Happy Birthday, Kevin!

Kate Czlapinski — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:40:30 +0000

Last night we went out with Tom and Heather for Kevin’s birthday. Yes, I’m a day late with the birthday wishes on the blog – worst girlfriend ever, I know, but I did make him a happy birthday breakfast involving bacon yesterday morning, so that must count for something, right?

Anyway, we decided to head down to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Death of “The Cougar”

Kate Czlapinski — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 20:12:30 +0000

In this piece, Linda Holmes goes on a rant about why she feels the term “Cougar” should die a slow painful death… and I couldn’t agree more. It’s kind of sexist and super creepy and they’ve made a really horrendous reality show about it. Yuck. Yes, I do believe it’s officially time to kill [...]

Stephen Colbert Guest Editor for Newsweek

Kate Czlapinski — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:48:08 +0000

I just love Colbert (not like I love Jon Stewart, but I love him)… and that’s because I understand satire. Anyway if you dig his stuff, you’ll dig him here.

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 [...]

What Recession?

Kate Czlapinski — Fri, 29 May 2009 22:23:52 +0000

So, because I don’t live completely under a rock I have heard that we are in bit of a recession…

I occasionally climb out from under my rock and go somewhere outside of work or home (or the home office) and I socialize and shop and dine out. In fact, lately I think I’ve perhaps done a [...]

A Loose Moose in New Britain!

Kate Czlapinski — Thu, 21 May 2009 00:50:43 +0000

I told Kevin to stop wandering around outside at 5 o’clock in the morning! But he just wouldn’t listen… and now look!

Seriously, New Britain, CT isn’t exactly rural… Actually, it’s fairly urban and in some areas one might say it’s even quite ghetto. Don’t worry, it’s really not that bad- I’ve been living here for a [...]

Cats In The Bathroom

Kate Czlapinski — Tue, 19 May 2009 22:04:00 +0000

I always try to keep posts about my cats to a minimum, because really, nobody want to hear about them. I know- I don’t even want to hear about peoples’ kids… why would strangers want to hear about my cats? This time, however, I am making an exception…

I want to know if anyone else has experienced [...]

Satire Too Highbrow For Your Average Conservative?

Study finds that both liberal and conservative Colbert Report viewers thought Colbert was funny, “but conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements. Conservatism also significantly [...]
