i'm a bad blogger

hey babes! its kath! i feel like ive been super mia lately and i have lots to fill you in on! just a heads up this blog is gunna be long-ish, random, and kinda choppy because connor's chillin next to me so i'm kind of having to multi-task. my life right now consists of: connor (duh), lsat stuff, trying to stay in shape, hangin out with old high school friends and all the crazy drama that seems to cause, going on a couple dates (don't get too excited haha), and getting ready to move out on SEPTEMBER 18TH!!!!! here's a little run down of everything...

connor's doing great! he's getting super big. kristin and i pretty much have weekly whine-sessions about how fast he's growing up :( still no crawling yet but he does have 2 teeth :) and he's taking his naps upstairs in his crib like a big boy! he used to only nap in his swing downstairs so he could be in all the action. i have been taking tons and tons of pictures and videos of him this summer and last week i put together a little photo album for his parents. they absolutely loved it! there are around 50 pictures in there right now but im gunna add to it little by little. besides that, he's just the same old little dude.

lsat stuff is going pretty well actually! my goal is to score in the upper 150s-160. the book im using recommended taking a practice test blind just to kind of see where you stand and i made a 151!! so hopefully that's a good sign that my mind can at least grasp what im being tested over. if i get myself motivated enough, studying for it really isn't that bad. its just hard to stay on schedule with it all but if i give up a few nights a week i can get back on track

the whole running thing has kind of fallen on the back burner. a couple weeks ago my parents suggested that all of us (minus kara of course) run the half marathon in january but all the spots were filled... dang. plus there was a mugging in connor's neighborhood a few weeks ago and so i decided to cut back on running here just because, lets face it, i could do nothing to defend myself and connor against a couple of "mean guys". (that's what we used to call criminals when we were little haha!!)

hangin out with high school friends has been good its just weird. a few of yall have met lauren and of course ya'll know kathryn. i hang out with them most of the time and thats fine but last night we were out and met up with a tonnn of girls from high school and it was just really odd how some people don't change at all and other people act like they don't even know you! yanno??

ok so here's the deal about the dates. connor's mom kristin told all her friends that i was catholic, single, and looking haha. her friends laura and joe are friends with this guy rob who's younger brother is sam. long story short, he's 25. graduated from TCU. is an accountant. went to st thomas high school where a ton of my guy friends went. he's catholic and loves sports. yadda yadda yadda. so he got my number and we talked a few times and then we went out on sunday just to meet up. things were pretty good but at the time i was like hm... are things good because i really could like this guy or are they could because a blind date could've gone sooo much worse lol. within like the first few minutes of us meeting he told me that he wasn't a dog person.... ooooh burn. lol minus 10 points already! haha jk! but cmon can ya'll really picture me with a guy who hates dogs? so i got past that and the conversation flowed pretty easily. we talked a lot about partying and crazy stories so of course yall came up in the conversation ;) so we ended up sitting at this casual little bar for like 2 hours! and then went to dinner after that. all in all it was a good meeting but i wasn't positive our personalities meshed. but when he asked me to go out again i figured i had nothing to lose yanno? and thats when things started getting kinda weird... he called to tell me where we were going and made some comment about how "i probably wouldn't like" this bar he was gunna take me to... hm... weird. and then he said "i GUESS ill pick u up.." um... buddy its a date! yes you pick me up! anyways, the phone convos before the actual date were kinda weird but i didnt wanna dwell on it. so he picked me up, met a few of the ppl at my house and handled that pretty well. but then we were heading to the car and he didn't get my door. i'm not one of those girls who HAS to have the door opened for her AT ALL but on a true date i just think that's what they should do! kinda like how they SHOULD come pick u up! anyways we got to the restraunt and he was talking about how he'd taken a fine foods/wine tasting class recently. so when we got the wine list i told him that i really didnt know what i wanted to order and asked if he would suggest something or pick something for me that he thought would be good. and he just said "no." weirddd... and then when the waitress came to take our drink orders i just said "ill have whatever he's having" and then when the waitress turned to him, without even looking up from his menu he goes "i'll have the second from the bottom". and she goes "ok. sorry from which list the red or white?" he like rolled his eyes and was like "whichever is on the first page" and so she named the wine just to double check thats what he wanted and he like interrupted her and was like "thats fine". she kinda gave me a pity look like ohhh hunny its gunna be a long dinner for you. he was seriously so rude to the waitress! but i figured i had a long date to get through so i just started asking him random questions and literally EVERYTHING that he could put a negative spin on... he did! he's going to austin this weekend with some friends but had to throw in something negative about it. he's training for a half marathon but claims that he hates to run? i talked about how much i love chicago and he just went off on how horrible their accents are. i mean seriously it was like something out of a movie! wow ok i didnt realize how long this blog was getting lol! ill try and wrap it up. basically we finished dinner and went to this bar (the one he said i wouldn't like) and met up wiht his roommate and his roommates girlfriend (who of course sam claims is a bitch and is going to screw her boyfriend over...) and then he took me home. when we parked in the drive way, yet again he goes "i GUESS ill walk you to your door"??? seriously wtf!!! haha!! he met kristen for like 2 seconds when he dropped me off and the minute he was out the door she was like "ok ... um ... no." haha

so that sums it up! sorry that was such a long post but i just couldn't that stuff out! i miss you girls soooooooooooo much and i hope ya'll are all doing well!!

its time for connors nap! i'm a bad nanny and blog while the baby's sitting right next to me... oops! haha!

i love yall!!!!
