ohkate!

today starts the “bring back Kate’s glorious rump” effort. it will involve working out in the morning and after work (if I have time) and eating more thoughtfully. the soda is definitely banned, ice cream is allowed in extremely small quantities and infrequently at that, alcohol is cut out (except for tubing for Lear’s birthday), fruits and vegetables will be incorporated more than all the other stuff, and fish will become the main meat in my life (if I can afford it.) I’m tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, it’s time to take charge and sweat it all out.

and I honestly have no excuse as to why I waited so long.
first it was aol laying Jason off
then it was adjusting to my new job
then it was my birthday
then it was the holidays
then it was more holidays
and one more holiday and now things are finally slowing down and it’s time to catch up
that’s what you do when the year starts right? try to tie up all the lose ends so that you can start new things.
I’m hoping this is the case, so you can start new things.
anyway. here they are. finally.

the rest can be found here

here are the other photos I didn’t post earlier out of respect for some new friends. wanted to make sure they didn’t mind me plastering their amazing kids all over my blog. the friends are amazing as well (;

akane and noriko took this (;

ready to have your photo taken?

someone forgot to smile (;

heck yeah I’m cute!

akane took this one!

LOVE ON ME PLZ!

non holga!

deep intense conversation… I don’t remember what we were talking about.

‘move down here. now. as soon as possible. DO EEEEEEEEEEEEET.’

no photos plz

ok freaking hell. it doesn’t get any cuter than this.

‘I will give you $5 if you run into the water… no it’s not cold!’

‘ok fine. I’ll give you $5 and a quarter.’

‘look even I’ll play in the water. what it’s not deep enough? but it’s wet!’

‘she took my dare! see? there she goes!’ [jk! I’m making this all up!]

‘just $5.25? that’s it? I would’ve gone for $10!’

‘but you’re cute so I forgive you.’

aaaaaaaaaaaaaarg too cute!

*head explodes

‘no I dunno where she got her cuteness from…?’

‘she plays wow? what a nerd.’

cute overload? yeah. I think so

I’m pretty thoroughly convinced that the third time is the charm so no need to worry about tomorrow, ok?

we’re still here.

can you believe I’ve had this photo for about 5 years? funny that that fortune has also been there for the same amount of time. heh, who would’ve thought… neither of us did at the time. now it seems as if it was all inevitable, it would’ve happened somehow, someway, we would’ve ended up together. (:
