Phases

I'm trying to figure out how to phase this blog into the new one I'll have on my BRAND NEW WEBSITE!! Any suggestions?? I don't want to delete this blog by any means, I LOVE it - its full of memories, spastic late night study rants, travels, and the lingering giggles of the last 2 years.

pondering on how to do it...

Anyways, Lesley finally got a blog - and she had a post last week of listing 23 things about herself. Last year when I graduated Kristi gave me an awesome book called, List Yourself - for those of us who are obsessive and love to fill our worlds with sticky notes and to-do lists. In the book you have tons of lists that you can describe different aspects of your life at different stages - I'm loving it. So this post its a combination of that, with the creation of my new photography business a way of me to reflect on what I feel makes me Katie.

1. I wish I had taken more computer classes in school, oops.

2. I'm obsessed with going green.

3. Gardening is a new passion of mine. I go and check on my tomato plants 2x a day.

4. My little puppy has turned into a giant LION of a dog. However that makes sense. :) and yet I still really want another one.

5. the people at Anthropologie know my name - I'm not ashamed... in fact, I'm slightly proud.

6. I love Stell's Chai Latte with Soy the best, I would actually move back up to Redlands to be closer to them.

7. I'm starting my photography business - which has me excited, nervous, very smiley and terrified all at once.

8. I think I must have lived in Paris in a former life or something! my heart aches to live there, Its like SEVERE homesickness. :\

9. I have a genetic Travel bug... I can't get enough of it, and sitting at home during the summer is complete Torture.

10. As much as I love clothes, when I'm home I grab my hubby's t-shirts and sweatpants - I'm pretty sure there is nothing more comfortable.

11. I should probably go to sleep earlier at night, but I'm a night owl and no matter how tired I get I can't get in bed before 10:30. :\

12. I hate strawberries and eggplant (generally) - but I'll eat anything that didn't have a family, eyes, face, or belongs to the Animal Kingdom.

13. ... on that note, I'm a proud member of PETA. I may not agree with all the people who are also members, but I believe that their overall goals are genuine and good - my love of animals is a big part of me.

14. I'm actually pretty politically involved - I would say that I identify most with the Libertarian party.

15. I do not like Obama or most programs that are masked with the label of "social issues," but am quite liberal - just not with the government. haha, I really don't fit anywhere.

16. I've been to Thailand 3 times, and can't wait to go again next summer.

17. I made a promise to myself a long time ago to see all 50 States in the USA by the time I hit 25 - I just turned 23 last month and realized that I only have Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota and the New England states left. My mission has become more difficult and pressing. haha

18. I've been with my hubby since we were juniors in high school, and I love him more every single day - this summer we've been married 3 years! LOVE it! :)

19. I'm obsessed with LOST - don't judge me, but I serious do NOT know what I'm going to do with the series finale next week. What will I do??? ah!

20. I've been watching General Hospital for 14 years. again... don't judge me.

21. Despite popular opinion, my eyes are green - not blue. well... MORE green than blue. haha

22. Dragonflies are my thing... so deal. I have dragonfly everything and I love them. :)

23. The future makes me nervous, but I really can't wait to see what will happen in the next year.


Okay all... I have to get back to work on the website. Again - give me ideas on what I should do with combining the sites???

I'm so thankful that you are the only other person in the universe who hates strawberries as much as I do. People frown upon me because of it.

also. to merge the blogs, i would just put a link up that says "this blog has moved, please visit www.katieshoepflin.com" or you can have something set up to redirect you automatically...i'm not nerdy enough to know how to do that ;)

Aww, I'm so glad to hear that the book I gave you is fun and useful at the same time! I like reading about your life. You inspire me.

While I so frown upon both you and Lesley for your hate of strawberries!!! (kidding!!!! Kind of :p lol) I love reding about your life as well. I don't see why you can't have a "blog" link on your portfolio-styled website. The best of both worlds.

Also, crossIng Hawaii off of that list soon!
