>Trudging along down this 100 Things road…

41. I am quickly falling in love with The Container Store…

42. I count things in fives. If I tap one finger, I have to tap it five times. Then (in an effort to not leave anyone out) I tap the remaining four fingers five times. If I accidentally tap one six times instead of five, I go ahead and tap four more times to bring it to ten, then tap the other fingers enough times to bring them to ten as well. I used to count my steps in groups of five when I was younger, but then marching band happened, and threw me off my game.

43. I’m not as neurotic as #42 makes me seem.

44. I played flute through middle and high school, and even played a little in college too. Marching band, symphonic band, jazz band, orchestra, musicals, pep band…you name it, I did it, and loved every minute of it.

45. I have hardly touched my flute since Matt and I got engaged. I don’t know why, but I lost the desire for some reason. Maybe I’ll pick it back up someday, but I think I’m okay if I don’t.

46. I love to sing, but I’m not that great at it. If I had my way, I would be the Christian version of Bonnie Raitt. Is anyone else out there in agreement that Christian music needs more blues music?

47. I will eat anything once. (Just ask my friends from SIFAT. We experienced lots of weird food together – pork brains, gopher, rabbit, etc.)

48. I really hate the Times New Roman font…

49. I love shopping at Trader Joe’s. Not only do they have fun food to buy at great prices, I also feel about 25% cooler when I walk in the door. Don’t ask – I know it’s stupid.

50. I have had a hard time coming up with 50 things. I can’t imagine how long it will take me to finish this list!

100 Things About Katie

1. I don’t really eat ice cream a lot, but you can always find at least two different flavors of ice cream in my freezer. In Kentucky our friend MK would sometimes come over and head straight to the freezer, so I think I keep it stocked just in case she pops by (you know…all the way from Texas).

2. I love to do my hair and makeup, but rarely feel like doing it in the morning before work.

3. If you say something that could in any way be construed as dirty, I laugh like a teenager in my head.

4. I don’t floss as much as I should, even though I know and realize the benefits of doing so.

5. I sometimes miss my maiden name: Kermeen

6. I have been using Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers since I was a kid, and I still love it to this day! My favorite flavors, peppermint and apple, have disappeared, but I still love strawberry, tropical punch, kiwi, pink lemonade and (most of all) Dr. Pepper. Starfruit and orange pop are great too, but hard to find.

7. That being said, I DO NOT use any of the sparkly Lip Smackers.

8. And I do use other lip items – I have more lip gloss, lip stick, lip spackle than anyone else I know.

9. My bedroom is a mess! I have stuff all over my dresser, books and magazines on the floor, cat fur everywhere, etc. Don’t even get me started on my piles of clothes and shoes…

10. Speaking of shoes, there are always at least three pairs of shoes kicked off under the coffee table in our living room. They’re usually mine, but Matt often has a pair or two there as well.

100 Things About Katie – Part Three

21. I cuss like a sailor sometimes…but I’m trying to get better!

22. I love to get the mail. I live for days when I receive things that aren’t bills or junk!

23. I have a serious crush on Jim Halpert from The Office.

24. I wear a size 12 shoe. I love shoe shopping, but rarely am able to find shoes in my size.

25. I have only seriously dated three guys in my life, and that’s two too many!

26. I drive 18 miles to get to my office, and hate every mile of it. I wish I could work from home!

27. I used to think I was a really interesting person, but as I age I meet lots of people who make me feel otherwise.

28. I have lived in three states: Indiana, Alabama and Kentucky. I feel most at home in Indiana, but sometimes wish for the other two as well.

29. I think I was a southerner in my former life. I love to drink sweet tea and eat fried pickles, collard greens and cornbread.

30. I love to read, but sometimes go through phases where I don’t read at all. At any given time, I could have up to three books on my nightstand that I am trying to get through. Right now I’m reading Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell and Bright Lights, Big Ass: A Self-Indulgent Surly, Ex-Sorority Girl’s Guide to Why if Often Sucks in the City, or Who are These Idiots and Who Do They All Live Next Door to Me? by Jen Lancaster. I have an eclectic taste, no?
