Happy 2008!

Well, time to ring in a new year. 2007 has been fun...crazy, but fun. This time last year I was at my church surrounded by a billion kids at this crazy all-nighter thing they put on. And this year, I'm still with kids, but only 2, and they are asleep. They aren't mine...they belong to my wonderful next door neighbors. Spending New Years Eve alone might be lame, but I'm determined not to be poor anymore. Besides, I may run back over to my house just to watch the ball drop with the 'rents, drink a swig of champagne, and come back to my post. Hopefully the parents will decide to stay at their party until midnight, otherwise they could come back home to find the babysitter MIA. Not so good.

I've decided, somewhat begrudgingly, that I need to take Spanish and learn it for real. Don't get me wrong--I'm excited about getting closer to becoming bilingual and studying abroad in Spain (you all should come!)--but I'm afraid I'm just not that good at it. I need to speak and practice it more, since I can understand and read a good amount. New years resolution?

So, my 6th grade cousin decided to put a video of our cruise that he took on youtube. You should probably go watch it, and note my wonderfully crazy grandmother with the napkin...Happy 50th Anniversary!

See you all very soon!

Kathryn

is that in newport?

A question to ponder before slipping into tryptophan induced daze:

why is it when we see airplanes crossing the sky they never look or zoom by as if they're traveling at 500+ miles an hour?

any ideas? joyeux noel, feliz navidad and all that jazz

My better half is currently on her way cruising to the Bahamas and I, well, I'm still in Raleigh with no one to play with. Breaks can be lonely; usually a necessary kind of lonely for recuperating and realigning oneself from exhausting life at Chapel Hill.

Whoa, this post is starting to veer dangerously close to the intellectual/philosophical realm of uber intelligence all my friends subscribe to. After reading the beautifully crafted blogs of Abby, Emily, Nick, Rachel, Elizabeth and Brittany, KB and I figure, why try to compete?

Hope everyone is enjoying home and eating lots of Christmas cookies.

Miss you all. Happy Christmas

ex-pat too?

what can i say? i am a francophile

Allow me to translate, since, like many of you, I do not speak, write, nor read French.

My beautiful friends, You lack me a lot. This is all. Without you, my life is not interesting.

Thank you, freetranslation.com.

Also, I would like to make it known that Catherine has changed the options so that when we log in to our blog, everything is in French. Cool.

:)

Love you all!

Kathryn (that's for you, John.)

Je suis triste...

Mes beaux amis,
Vous me manquez beaucoup.
C'est tout. Sans vous, ma vie n'est pas intéressante.

:(
