Adorable 4 year old generalizations about adult...
One of my Oromo students today schooled me about how “white people” can have boyfriends and “Oromo people” cannot. She also said “Miss Kate, you got married.” And when I asked why she thought that, she said “Because you have a boyfriend and he likes you a lot. So you got married.” I told her “No, I don’t have a boyfriend” and...

How do you write a letter to someone you know...
Someone who was a positive force in your life for three years of your college experience?
Hard to find out
that one of your old bosses, who you were very close with (surprisingly), has stage four brain cancer. Glioblastoma.
With the exception of the brainstem gliomas, glioblastoma has the worst prognosis of any central nervous system (CNS) malignancy (Wikipedia)

you are lavender #E6E6FA Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You’re good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really...

I’m reading The Hunger Games for the first time.. Give me two days and I’ll read the whole book. lol *nerd*
READING A BOOK IN TWO DAYS DOES NOT MAKE YOU A NERD. IT MAKES YOU SOMEONE WHO READS A BOOK IN TWO DAYS.

Why does it always seem to happen that...
Nobody seems interested in dating you and then suddenly there are men coming out of the woodwork asking for your hand in marriage?!
(Okay maybe not asking for my hand in marriage but there is a sudden and very random influx of men in my life. It is weird.)

I went out in flats, without socks on. An hour later, it starts snowing.
My mom asked me if I would get a boy or a girl...
we’ve always had girl dogs in our family, and my brother got a boy dog…
but I’ve sort of always seen myself getting a boy corgi. And naming him Brinkley.
Had a good chat with my mama
She thinks I can probably convince my landlord to let me have a dog (a corgi). I am hoping so, because I love this apartment and the building and my neighbors and the neighborhood. I don’t want to move.
I’ve also sort of accepted that I’ll probably do Head Start for another year. And it doesn’t seem so horrible now. I actually like going to work most days.
Now, time for a...

Forewarning: this post probably sounds very egotistical and self-involved.
Above: my face. My awesome face.
Now, for the actual opinion part: I find myself to be kind of gorgeous. That sounds SO ridiculous, but read on, dear friends. Close your mouth, and keep reading.
I am a plus size lady. I may not be one of those girls who you see and instantly you’re like, “DAMN. SHE...
twitchyspastic replied to your photo: One more time, in case you missed how gorgeous…
MUST. NOT. LICK. SCREEN.
I know, right? How modest I sound, but seriously. My eyes are my favorite feature.
twitchyspastic replied to your photo: No really, it was gorgeous.
Jaw dropped. Seriously.
Unedited, bro. It was THAT amazing. I raced my butt to the MOA parking ramp to get an unobstructed view.

Plus size ladies should NOT wear strapless wedding dresses.
Yes, I put myself in this category. No, I am not ashamed to be plus size. No, I will not EVER wear a strapless bridal dress. If I happen to fall in love with a strapless dress, I WILL HAVE STRAPS ADDED. Armpit and back pudge is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable to me.
