			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hola peeps! I know I owe y’all an update and alls I gosta say is just cause I got the cancer doesn’t mean I stopped procrastinating! That said, I am wrapping up a new post regarding my treatment and subsequent remission, but I really needed to share this inspiring story of Zach Sobiech – a young 17 year old who fought but ultimately lost his battle with osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Although his story made me lose my shit, it is a reminder to all to be appreciative of each and every day and to live life to the fullest. As Zach says, “You don’t have to find out you’re dying to start living.” The way Zach and his family stood strong through a terminal diagnosis is a testament to the human spirit. It touched me deeply and I felt compelled to share [videos below].</p>
<p>For me, my cancer diagnosis awakened a part of me that had lain dormant for years. My sort of discontentment with the world was instantly washed away. The small irritations of<a title="Top Ten Pet Peeves, Part Deux" href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2010/09/top-ten-pet-peeves-part-deux/"> fart ninjas </a>and <a href="http://wp.me/p1faZa-C">uneven bumper stickers </a>were suddenly replaced with an appreciation for the opportunity to become a fart ninja myself (if I was so inclined as usually there is nothing “ninja” about my farts) or the fact that I could put my own damn bumper sticker on straight (thank you OCD). Looking at things from a more positive perspective has changed my outlook on life and helped me to really start living again.</p>
<p>And, although my treatment for breast cancer is behind me, mentally I am still left facing numerous challenges. Every time I hear of a new diagnosis or of someone losing their battle it entangles me in a flood of emotions that rock me to my core. It hurts. A lot. Sometimes I just want to punch cancer in the nut sack. But then I remember cancer doesn’t have a nut sack, but it should so I could punch it there.</p>
<p>It is tough to face your fears on an almost daily basis. My ego gets bitched slapped on the regular, yo. But that mofo continues to come back for more. I am hopeful it will let up sometime soon, but in the interim I will continue to live the fuck out of life. Today I am filled with hope, joy, love, and <del>fireball whiskey</del> a lil piss’n vinegar. I am extremely grateful to be here celebrating life each and every day . . . and even more grateful to be here to share it with you!  xoxo</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I should start by saying my boobs and I have always had a tumultuous relationship.  They made their appearance at an embarrassingly early age, then failed to grow adequately enough to secure the CEO position I always wanted. During my pregnancy they became my dream tatas; but again, they went unnoticed due to the distraction of my protruding belly. Then finally, after breast feeding, they were featured in <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Playboy</span> Natty’G (aka National Geographic) – which wasn’t quite the recognition I was looking for.</p>
<p>Now, don’t get me wrong – I never heard anyone complainin about my titties. They&#8217;re a’ight. But they sure never lived up to <em>my</em> expectations. Stuck with a “B” cup, I always felt I was destined for greater things like a “K” cup for Katie! Sadly, that dream was never realized – mostly because the doctors refused and I wasn’t keen on getting them done in a back alley sheltered by a homeless man’s cardboard box.</p>
<p>So we got along just fine au naturel. We invested in push-up bras and called it a day. I accepted them for who they were and appreciated their efforts in providing nourishment to my four year old . . . when he was a baby of course! And let’s not forget their willingness to accommodate the occasional motorboat and the handfuls of joy they brought to many across the world!</p>
<p>It was a surprise then when, one day, when I was randomly feeling myself up, I stumbled upon an implant I had no recollection of ever getting! I quickly confirmed my findings in the mirror &#8211; my left boob was looking pretty fly. Surely my right boob would follow suit!</p>
<p>In the meantime, I anxiously waited to see my doctor. And once I did, I walked out with a prescription for Xanax and a recommendation to seek counseling. I was also immediately sent to the lab for a fun-filled day of ultrasounds, mammograms, a cyst aspiration, and a biopsy of my extra lady lump.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Whatcha gonna do with all that junk inside your lump? Take it out!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2012/03/i-thought-we-were-breast-friends/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It was just two days later, on my husband’s 40<sup>th</sup> birthday, that I was notified of my diagnosis: triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma. My tumor was approximately 2.7 cm – which isn’t very big unless you’re burrowed in my boob. Remember, B cup. <em>Right.</em></p>
<p>What a day I will never forget. My life path had changed indefinitely. I mourned for my past and reluctantly embraced the future. Some things would never be the same, but there was still a possibility that Katie K could be getting an upgrade if you know what I mean!</p>
<p>However, after consulting with my doctors at Stanford University, I opted for a lumpectomy with sentinel node dissection. The tumor was removed with clear margins; and, after biopsy, one lymph node tested positive for the cancer shit. Fortunately, no additional surgeries were required, and a treatment plan of chemotherapy (16 cycles) and radiation (one hour, five days per week, four-five weeks) was set. I was sentenced to approximately six and a half  months of aggressive treatment for Stage 2 Breast Cancer.</p>
<p>In addition, I was accepted into a study to test the effectiveness of an established drug called Herceptin on triple negative patients (me). Having this type of cancer means that the cancer does not express the genes for the estrogen receptor, the progesterone receptor or the Her2/neu receptor. Because I am negative for each of these receptors, targeted therapy used successfully for other types of breast cancers does not provide any additional benefit to me. </p>
<p>This is where the study comes in - some recent test results have found that Herceptin has been inadvertently given to Her2/neu negative patients with positive outcomes. If the study I am participating in confirms this benefit to triple negative patients, it will become the standard of care for this type of breast cancer. And, although there are additional health risks (as with all of my traditional medical treatment), I believe the potential benefits outweigh the risks.</p>
<p>To assist in my treatment, I also acquired a “new best friend” named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(medical)">Port</a>. Port is a small catheter installed under the skin of my upper chest which connects to an artery for easy blood access. Port is cool because it could be featured on True Blood and it also makes me half cyborg. <strong></strong></p>
<p>On February 6, 2012 I began treatment. First stop was the lab where my Port was accessed to collect blood samples. Of most concern are my white/red blood cells and platelet counts. Then I met with my medical oncologist for a standard physical/feel up &#8211; and, in subsequent appointments we woud also discuss any side effects and how to alleviate them.</p>
<p>Finally it’s off to the Infusion Center where I receive my chemotherapy. There I am welcomed by a harpist and a nurse dressed in a hazmat suit. I shake my fists into air, bust out a couple of reps of Kid ’n Play followed by a few seconds of head banging then I&#8217;m all pumped up for treatment! Time to kill this cancer scum! Rahhhh!</p>
<p>My chemotherapy consists of a wonderful cocktail called AC (Cyclophosphamide and Doxorubicin). The Cyclophosphamide is slowly injected into my Port over a 30 minute period by my hazmat nurse. Then I am hooked up to Doxorubicin which is administered by a drip for one hour. It doesn’t hurt. It makes me pee red. The thought of it makes me want to vomit.</p>
<p>So moving right along.</p>
<p>After my infusion, we stop at the pharmacy to pick up a shot called Neulasta which <em>I</em> will administer the following day to boost my white blood cell count and reduce my risk of infection. This drug makes my bones hurt. But, if I accidentally cut off my arm it ups my survival rate. It’s a good trade off.</p>
<p>I have to admit, the days following are rough. I’m fatigued and struggle with nausea, food aversions and with the dreaded Hershey squirts. And now that I’ve admitted going number three, I feel a little awkward. Maybe we should talk about my <del>Hemor</del>Rhoid Rage instead. Steroids fools – to boost my appetite!</p>
<p>Anyways, this diagnosis and treatment has been physically and emotionally challenging. Not surprisingly, when confronted with your mortality you tend to look at each day a bit differently. My cancer has been a catalyst for positive self growth. I choose to live every day to the fullest and keep a happy fucking smile on my face! And you should too! :O)</p>
<p>xoxo</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I typically skip Black Friday because I hate people. But this year, after hours of holiday cheer, I decided &#8220;What the hell?!&#8221; If I could stay awake until midnight, I had a good chance of pepper spraying some fools. Also, shitfaced shopping stimulates the economy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To successfully complete my mission, I would need to be prepared. Operation Black Friday was about to go down yo.</p>
<p>___________________</p>
<h4><strong>Thanksgiving: Hella Late</strong></h4>
<p>Fuck ya! So glad I bought this extra fo-teh of Mickey’s!</p>
<p><em>Shake, unscrew and spray forty of malt liquor on face while making </em>Courtney Stooden<em> facial expressions.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>You no know Courtney Stooden? Lemme introduce you:<br />
</strong><p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/11/black-friday-the-aftermath/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p>
<p>I&#8217;m awake, I&#8217;m awake!</p>
<p>Jump into skintight black rubber suit. Pull up skull patterned leg warmers and lace up high-heeled <a href="http://www.airjordanhighheels.org/air-jordan-1-high-heels-black-pink-p-377.html">Air Jordans</a>.<strong> </strong>Secure drivers license, ATM and credit cards into fanny pack while simultaneously holstering container of Red Bull/Vodka onto same. Lock and load hand glocks with rainbows and unicorns.</p>
<p>Grab coupons, ads and bucket of leftover Kentucky Fried Chicken. Jump into eco-friendly limo and head for, uhhhh, Walmart bitches! Inhale leftover chicken. Rub greasy hands all over rubber suit to aid in impending sticky situations.</p>
<p>Make detour to Goldies Adult Superstore to pick up entourage/security team . . . on sale for $19.99 each.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>These are my bitches!<br />
<a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/blowupdollsfinal.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3317" title="blowupdollsfinal" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/blowupdollsfinal.jpg" alt="" width="466" height="115" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Roll up to Walmart bumpin Rebecca Black&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVsfOSbJY0">Friday</a>&#8221; as I throw on my stunna shades. Instruct chauffeur to park, then hold my place in line. <em>What? You </em>think I could trust that<em> </em>fool alone with my bitches? Those girls are total skanks.<strong> </strong></p>
<p>Finally the line begins to move. Panic-driven, I nose dive out the window landing seamlessly into a rolling somersault followed by three backflips and finishing with the splits. And, the crowd goes wild! (<em>Raahhhh</em>!!)</p>
<p>After taking a bow, I give a shout out to my homie, the chauffeur, for holding my place. Then I kindly redirect him to the back of the line. Not surprisingly, he heads straight back to the limo as I shout, <em>&#8220;You can consider that your tip, fool!&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>As the line gains momentum, so do I as &#8220;Eye of the Tiger&#8221; plays inspirationally in my head. A lot of pushing and bitch slapping ensues, and, soon I find myself jumping over trampled shoppers who mistakenly left their shanks at home.</p>
<p>Then <strong>KAPOW! BLAM! BOOM! </strong>I karate chop into the air as I elbow suckas and mace their faces off. No one can stop me from getting in! Muahhaahaa!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I&#8217;m like <strong>Pokémon </strong>on crack!<br />
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/11/black-friday-the-aftermath/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></strong></p>
<p>Once inside, I head straight to electronics to pick up my 52 inch flat screen TV for $3. Sold out. No problem, I&#8217;ll just move right on to the XBox. Sold out. Digital camera. Sold out. DVD player. Sold out. Damnit!</p>
<p>Then, just when I was about to give up, I saw it - my 52 inch flat screen TV! It was there, in that woman&#8217;s cart! <em>My precious! </em></p>
<p>At first I was very polite. I respectfully requested that she help move it into my cart. But when she declined and called me a &#8220;crazy bitch,&#8221; I jumped on her back and poked my fingers in her eyeballs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/blackfriday.bmp"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3499" title="blackfriday" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/blackfriday.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Girl was as sturdy as an elephant and I was having trouble taking her down. She spun round and round like a record baby, but I still managed to hang on. Then, using her WWE <em>throw-a-bitch-over-the-head-and-squeeze-really-hard </em>maneuver, she had me within her grasps.</p>
<p>We were face to face when she squeezed me so hard I farted. The resulting change in air pressure (in combination with my well thought out grease laden rubber suit) propelled me into the air like a rocketship . . . right through the roof I went, all the way to the moon.</p>
<p>And then it started to rain bananas and there were . . . Carebears?</p>
<p>So, I slept through Black Friday. What&#8217;d you do?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I was just getting over a bad case of procrastination and about to draft the conclusion to my <a href="http://wp.me/p1faZa-O9">last post </a>when I came down with <em>the</em> <em>sickness</em>! God was punishing me &#8211; for what, I’m not fucking sure. But anyways . . .<br />
_______________________________</p>
<p>It all started on a dark and dreary night.  The clouds lingered against the full moon and fog permeated the cemetery miles from my home.  You could almost hear the flannel ripping off abtastic male beefcakes before the sound of wolves howling echoed throughout suburbia.</p>
<p>Shit was going down.<strong> </strong><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_3205" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 388px"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DOGPOOP1.jpg"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-3205" title="DOGPOOP1" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DOGPOOP1.jpg" alt="" width="378" height="208" /></strong></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Zombie dog knows what&#39;s up.</p></div>
<p>As I lay in bed, I had an itchy, scratchy feeling that things weren’t quite right. I hocked a loogie and it seemed legit, but little did I know the haunting hour was near. I quickly faded into sleep unbeknownst of the events to come.<a></a><a></a></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left;">It was 2:30 a.m. when I awoke to a trembling fervor. An intense, animalistic breath blew heavily against my pale skin; luring me out of my peaceful slumber. I just knew it was Edward Cullen or Jacob Black, coming to feed on my delectable wine-infused blood.</div>
<p>As I pried open my bloodshot eyes, I was disappointed to see it was only my Beagle . . . panting feverishly in my face – his way of alerting me of his urge to purge.</p>
<p>I frantically jumped out of bed and began running blindly down the hall.  My ghostlike locks flowed in the wind as I ran in exaggerated slow mo towards the sliding glass door.</p>
<p>Finally, I reached the door. Then, <em>click</em>, <em>pull</em>, “OUT!” I screamed!</p>
<p>Beagle: “Baaaarrrrffffff.”  </p>
<p>Me: “Noooooooo!” [Also in exaggerated slow mo.]</p>
<p>As I positioned myself to release my best blood curdling scream, his warm half digested diner oozed its way between my perfectly manicured toes. With eyes wide and my jaw dropped low, I waited anxiously as he regurgitated his earlier meal <em>(less clean up</em>, LOL<em>)</em>.<em> </em></p>
<p>It was then that I realized my scream had not manifested! I swallowed hard, and felt the flame of the devil radiating from the back of my throat! DAMNIT! Ah, I mean “<em>darn it</em>,” I whispered under bated breath.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sore-throat.bmp"></a></p>
<p>To combat this ailment, I needed to whip up a lil witch’s brew of frog legs and kitten balls. I grabbed my bolt cutters and my cat . . . it was about time – he was a damn whore.  Then a shake of this and a pinch of that and voilà, my concoction was ready for the taking.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="sore throat" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sore-throat.bmp" alt="" /></p>
<p>When I awoke the next morning I was surprised to find myself shivering naked in the fetal position. Apparentlah my herbal remedy had lost the battle. And . . . my poor cat.</p>
<p>Over the next three days I alternated between shivering violently and combating menopausal-like sweats. I was going through the change. I <em>was</em> becoming a werewolf.</p>
<p>It was a cosmic twist of events that had propelled me into the realms of the mythological.  Namely, a combo of: 1) my fuckin dirty mouth; 2) contaminated dog puke; 3)  ingesting whore cat balls; and, 4) my overactive imagination.</p>
<p>It was upon this realization that I demanded to be handcuffed to the bed. I couldn’t be trusted. The moon was full and I had a pair of cut-off jeans I wasn’t afraid to bust out of.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As I laid there transitioning, I imagined my life as a werewolf &#8212; alienated by friends and family due to my hairy disposition. I’d have to use Frontline or worse yet, what if I got lice?  And, there was also the social stigma associated with mauling people to death.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>. . . not to mention other awkward situations.<br />
</strong><a href="http://seemikedraw.wordpress.com/category/werewolf/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3271" title="Werewolf (2)" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Werewolf-2.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>But, becoming a werewolf wasn’t all bad. For instance, according to Teen Wolf (<em>circa</em> 1985), my newly acquired ballin skillz would elevate me into an overnight sensation for the WNBA! I’d get rich endorsing deworming products and become the spokeswoman for the Potty Patch. I’d also start my own high-end fashion line for <a href="http://wp.me/p1faZa-8p">furries</a>!</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">

<p>It was only after a long and tantalizing internal debate that I decided that becoming a werewolf was not for me. I was going to need <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">psychological</span> professional help &#8211; and a general practitioner was not going to cut it.</p>
<p>So I decided to contact the Department of Fish and Game for assistance (because they deal with outdoor species and shit). After listening to my plight, they assured me everything would be okay.</p>
<p>That evening they abducted me. Then took me to thier evil laboratory and conducted vigorous testings and anal probings. Bastards!</p>
<p>Eventually though, I <em>was</em> released after test results concluded that I was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> a werewolf. But little did they know, I had something far more  sinister . . . strep throat.</p>
<p>Muahahahahaha!!</p>
<p>The end. xoxo</p>

<p>The other day I was rummaging through my memory box when I stumbled upon a familiar small glass vial.  Unfortunately it wasn’t filled with Angelina Jolie’s blood – just remnants of patchouli oil from a decade or so ago.  </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Patchouli.jpg"></a></p>
<p>As I unscrewed the lid, the scent of what my mom so eloquently referred to as “DIRT,” thrust me into a trance-like state. I was overcome with visions of tie dye and hairy armpits. Oh yes, I’m talking about my senior trip. </p>
<p>You see, while most high school grads hit up Cancun as their destination of choice for the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">sex, drugs, and alcohol</span> beautiful beaches and archeological ruins, I found myself yearning for the open road. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>This is how I rolled, yo.</strong></p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Escort.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3127" title="Escort" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Escort-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></div>
</div>
<p style="text-align: left;">A cross country adventure was calling me . . . as was the music of the Grateful Dead.  I was about to embark on a long strange trip across the U.S. of A. &#8212; for what would be the Dead’s last tour before Jerry Garcia died. (Debbie Downer, I know.)</p>
<p>But first I had to break the news to my family. It was . . . ah, awkward.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Me:</strong> Dad, I’m road trippin for a month and following the Grateful Dead.  We cool yo?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Daddy’O:</strong> <em>What</em> are you going to do?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Me:</strong> Follow the Grateful Dead.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Daddy’O:</strong> What do you mean?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Me:</strong> I’m going to follow the Grateful Dead from California to Florida and then come home.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Daddy’O</strong>: But, why are you <em>really</em> going to Florida and then coming back to California?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Me:</strong> Um.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Daddy’O:</strong> I mean, why do you have to go to Florida? What are you going to Florida for?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Daddy’O: </strong>Hmmm.</p>
<p>That conversation left me wondering if my dad believed we had ulterior motives for our trip . . . like smuggling drugs across the country.  He is always thinking about the bottom line, that guy. But, alas, we weren’t that creative in our planning.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I could never compete.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/HeroinChic1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3129" title="HeroinChic[1]" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/HeroinChic1-300x215.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="215" /></a><br />
So anyways, my friend and I set off for our Great American Hippy Adventure!  We were on our way to Memphis, Tennessee for our first show at the Pyramid &#8212; with no tickets. Yet.</p>
<p>After days of driving, we had finally made it!  It was half past midnight when we secured a room at a super classy Motel 6. There we slept in sleeping bags on top of beds littered with cigarette holes and crack whore funk.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Enough said.<br />
</strong><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Anti-ProstitutionSign1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3142" title="No Soliciting" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Anti-ProstitutionSign1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Miraculously, we survived the night without stepping on a hypodermic needle <em>or</em> catching crabs.  It was close though.</p>
<p>The next morning we counted our pennies and realized we’d either need to start hooking to get some cash or start camping like real hippies – no more hotel rooms. </p>
<p>It was intimidating, I’m not gonna lie. We weren’t exactly predisposed to camping; in fact, we had never pitched a tent <em>or</em> not showered. It was problematic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Men, they always make it look so easy!<br />
<a href="http://www.jacksontradingco.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?page=jtradeco/PROD/TeeShirts-S3/woodtent-S3"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3144" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/pitchatent-300x226.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="226" /></a></strong></p>
<p>Eventually we found a campsite with plenty of open spots and ventured inside to reserve a spot. But, one look at us, and the attendants hollered “No Deadheads!” Peace and love bitches – we out.</p>
<p>But, because I’m not a giver upper, we used a payphone and called them bitches up. We made a reservation under “Kathleen” and assured them we loved Billy Ray Cyrus &#8211; especially his hair. </p>
<p>Hours later we rolled back in sporting different crochet berets, dancing bear shirts and hemp necklaces and were all like, “Yo bitches, we have reservations.”</p>
<p>After they kicked us out again and threatened us with pitchforks or some shit, we wandered through the campground and ran into some campers that were actually hippies disguised as hikers! Fucking genius.</p>
<p>These guys, I think their names were Cosmic, River and Windsong – or possibly just Erik, Rob, and Guadalupo &#8211; were hella cool and were going to let us sneak our tent on their dirt! We’d have to be all James Bondy and shit . . . so it would have to be after dark.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Our hippy friends cleaned up well too!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/hippydudes.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3153" title="hippydudes" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/hippydudes-300x229.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="229" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In the meantime, we decided to head on down to Beale Street where we could take in the sultry sounds of the local blues scene and use my fake ID.  We indulged in a few pitchers then danced around in circles with our hands flailing around like we just found Jesus. </p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Not entirely unlike this:<br />
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/08/this-one-time-when-i-was-a-deadhead/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></strong><strong> </strong></div>
<p>Late into the night we ventured back to the campground.  There my friend and I concealed our identities with ski masks and hid ambiguously in front of the fire pit. “A little to the left, ah right, now an inch to the left,” we ordered our hippy friends as they pitched our tent.  </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I didn’t want to micro-manage, but those hippies really needed to trade in their pot for some crack rock and get their asses moving. “Chop chop bitches,” we shouted until <em>finally</em> 10 minutes later our accommodations were arranged to our liking. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>This was my wing.<br />
</strong><img title="divatent" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/divatent1-238x300.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="300" /></p>
<p>Once we were comfortably in our nammies, I clapped twice and the indoor chandelier faded into darkness. I quickly snuggled in under my down comforter and quietly faded off to sleep.  Little did I know that my sweet dreams of a blonde, dreadlock flowing Jeremy London would leave me waking to a total nightmare. . . (dun, dun, DUN)</p>
<p>The mayhem began when I awoke the next afternoon to the putrid smell of body order and an overextended bladder.  My anxiety immediately heightened –public restroom use would be required. There was no getting around it. Gross.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>It makes perfect sense now.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img title="You-Can-Lead-A-Hippie-to-Water-But-You-Cant-Make-Him-Bathe" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/You-Can-Lead-A-Hippie-to-Water-But-You-Cant-Make-Him-Bathe-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As I stumbled hurriedly out of the tent, I was surprised to see our hippy friends closing up shop.  But before I could inquire, I noticed a bright orange sign taped to our tent.  It said, “<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">GET OUT YOU MUTHA  FUCKIN HIPPIES</span> EVICTION NOTICE.”</p>
<p>Our hippy friends had received one as well. Apparentlah our new friends’ kindness was not appreciated by the campground owners so we were all booted. Karma, bitches.</p>
<p>Because all the other campgrounds were sold out, it was decided that our only alternative was to find a spot next to the van down by the river. Suddenly public restrooms didn’t seem quite that bad.</p>
<p>After packing up our shit and flippin them bitches the bird, we headed to the box office to purchase our tickets for that evening&#8217;s show.  Regrettably, and not surprisingly, it was sold out. </p>
<p>We weren’t worried though, there’d be <em>plenty</em> for sale during the parking lot “pre-show.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Including cool posters like this! <br />
W<em>hoa . . . trippy.</em></strong><br />
<a href="http://www.animoller.com/2010/07/19/trippy-kitty/catrave/"><img title="trippy" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/trippy-300x240.gif" alt="" width="300" height="240" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In fact, when we rolled up to the lot late that afternoon we felt confident that tickets would easily present themselves. We moseyed up and down aisle after aisle &#8211; passing by the didgeridoos and the grilled cheese sandwiches – but were unsuccessful in finding tickets.</p>
<p>As darkness grew we became increasingly concerned. Until, finally, we found a dude with two tickets. There was a catch though. It involved a drum circle . . . and a winner. Although I was much more fluent in tambourine, I decided to give it a go.</p>
<p>But before we could even get started, our drum off was interrupted by police on horseback and a shitload of pepper spray. Hippies were all like “Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh!”  It was messed up.</p>
<p>Needless to say we ran our pussy asses away like lightening.  And, although the concert was a lost cause, the fun was just beginning!</p>
<p>In fact, the night ended with a mix of some military folks and a dash of dreadheads. Random, I know &#8211; kinda like me. </p>
<p><em>To be continued . . . </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/anal-new-oral.jpg"></a>So, remember when Capitol One, City Bank and, oh ya, Play Station Network were all hacked and customers’ email addresses were compromised? Well, I do &#8211; cause I happen to be a customer of all three!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this means my Inbox was infiltrated with an abundance of spam and 419/Nigerian scams. You know, the ones that offer you a ridiculous return if you allow them to deposit millions into your bank account. Usually it entails some “tug at your heartstrings” type scenario or a ridiculous attempt at business negotiations.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I could be down with this . . .<br />

<p>_____________________________________________________________</p>
<p>These scams are annoying for most . . . but not me! Nope, they drew me in &#8211; captivating me! Deleting them with no reply was not an option. I had to respond! So here you go . . .</p>

Calle de Atocha 112, Pta 9<br />
28012 Madrid, Espaсa.</p>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>This is Attorney Garcia Hernan of the above named law firm.Due to an emergency I have on behalf of my client, a politician from Africa, I searched your contact through the International email directory and decided to reach out to you.</p>
<p>He wants to move the sum of Nine Million and Ninety Thousand (9,090,000) US Dollars (a fund he deposited here in a bank in Madrid, Spain) into a private account  in your country so as to keep the money away and safe for two years only. After this period, you will transfer the money back to him.</p>
<p>Please, this assistance is legitimate and risk free and my client is willing to reward you with 30% of the amount for your help.</p>
<p>If you are willing to assist in this transaction, contact me on my private email or phone so as to provide you with more details.</p>
<p>Regards<br />
Garcia Hernan (Esq.)<br />

<strong>Subject:</strong> Risk Free Investment</p>
<p>Good afternoon, Attorney Hernan. Let&#8217;s be frank shall we? You and I both know your assertion that you located me through the International email directory is pure bullshit. Clearly, your trusted Presidento Zapatero provided you with my highly confidential information.</p>
<p>I had asked for his discretion, but, apparently, he felt my services could be of use to you. Therefore, due to the urgency of the matter of your client and my trust in the President of Spain, I would be willing to offer my assistance.</p>
<p>I do, however, charge a base fee of $1.5 million and require at least 45% of the Nine Million and Ninety Thousand US Dollars for my services (I could throw in some sexual favors as well). If you are agreeable to these terms, please advise. I look forward to working with/on you and your client.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Ms. Ura D. Magouche</p>

<p>Sorry about the tone of my last email. I just really wish this could work – you know, between you and me. I really feel like there’s chemistry here, and I think it might be worth exploring. Don’t you?</p>
<p>Love,</p>

<p>In fact, since the death of my husband, his brothers has been seriously chasing me around with constant treats, trying to collect all his propertiesand bank accounts.</p>
<p>Out of fear of my late husbands family, I decide to look for a trustworthy person who could assist me retrieve this box of moneywhich they are unaware of, from the security company for onward lodgement into his account for the purpose of future investment.Consider my situation as a widow and come to my rescue.</p>

<p>Dear Avelin,</p>
<p>Oh my goodness! This story is outrageous and intriguing! I&#8217;M IN! Also, I am very trustworthy. You can trust me. I can get the cashier at the Circle K to provide a reference to my trustworthiness if need be.</p>
<p>So when should I expect delivery of the family treasure? Do I need to hide it, like under a blanket just to make sure your greedy family members don&#8217;t find it and take it and spend it all and then blame it on me? Because that&#8217;s a real scenerio that we need to consider. I mean, I don&#8217;t want to have shit go wrong and then have to take the rap, you know? Hope you understand.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Ura D. Magouche</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I&#8217;ll hide this shit so good!<br />

<p>Madam Avelin Regato:</p>
<p>I do my best to help out those in need and your situation sounds dire.  You need to tell your husband&#8217;s family to pound sand. Fuckers. I am glad you trust in me because I am very trustworthy even though some people don&#8217;t believe me (i.e., my friends and family).  But not you, Avelin, you are a GREAT friend!  You don&#8217;t know the truth and don&#8217;t care about my criminal history. I really do love you &#8211; you must have been sent by God herself!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I&#8217;m so excited we&#8217;re BFFs now!<br />

<p style="text-align: left;">Before providing my personal information to you though, I need to know that I can trust you as well. I mean, I do. But . . . first off, I need to know that you are not shipping drugs. It needs to be cash because my probation officer has ensured me that &#8220;the man&#8221; is watching. If a truck full of coke shows up on my doorstep one of two things will happen &#8211; 1) I will clean my house, and 2) I will sell the shit out of it and likely go back to prison. So pllllease promise me there are no drugs involved!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I only accept cash and tacos, okay?<br />

<p>Also, this trunk box sounds super cool and like all James Bondy and shit. That being said, how I am to know that I am &#8220;talking&#8221; with YOU and not your husband&#8217;s scummy money hungry brother who hacked your email? I think we should use code names for now on &#8211; just to make sure.  I would prefer to be called K-Dizzle 5000. What should I refer to you as?</p>
<p>Lastly, I need 45% plus 10% for expenses. I don&#8217;t mean to rip you off, it&#8217;s just this shit sounds internationally illegal &#8211; no offense.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t wait to hear from you Avelin!  Hugs and kisses my friend.</p>

<p>Hi Avelin -</p>
<p>Thanks for reassuring me about the trunk box situation. I&#8217;m thoroughly convinced there are only hundred dollah bills in there. No snakes, or coke &#8211; which is good news.</p>
<p>Just wondering though if you think your late husband&#8217;s spirit is connected to it in any way? I mean, I am NOT down with ghosts haunting me and shit. However, for an additional fee of $12,000, I can facilitate the channeling of your late husband for some &#8220;Ghost&#8221; type action.  You know, the movie where Whoopi Goldberg channeled Patrick Swayze and made out Demi Moore!  Eww, okay maybe I&#8217;m not down with that.  But anyways, think it over and let me know.</p>

<p>Hi Avelin &#8211; Okay, now I officially feel shitty. I am sorry if you think I am childish, but this is who I am. I have fought tirelessly my entire life to feel just moments of acceptance. And with you, I truly felt that, for once, someone wasn&#8217;t judging me. I guess I was wrong.</p>
<p>And now you tell me that you&#8217;re going to find someone else to help you like I am that incompetent. I can&#8217;t help my past, but I was willing to help you with my future!</p>
<p>Whatever, Avelin. Have fun with your money. Maybe one day when you&#8217;re at the Louis Vuitton factory, you will think of me and feel bad for not giving me the opportunity to help you as I carry around my generic purse from Kmart. Peace.</p>

<p>So anyways, I really felt like I made some wonderful new friends while corresponding with these scammers.  Although, they <em>have </em>caused me some apprehension in my dealings with alleged non-scammers like my accountant, lawyer and manicurist.  But, I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s all good. Until next time my friends!</p>
<p>The end. xoxo</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://triaxisenergy.com/hung-out-to-dry/"></a>Since Earth Day was last month, I decided it would be fitting to write a little something about how you can implement a “‘lil bit of green” into your daily lifestyle with little to no effort. Oh yes, it <em>is </em>quite simple.</p>
<p>First you must visit a medical marijuana, m.d. whose information can easily be found in your local independent news rag.  Their ads are usually discrete and classy; although, this one – advertised by a Sacramento local, Dr. William Poirier – is a bit dull, in my opinion.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">So now you may understand why I’m just getting around to writing this post . . . and you thought I was procrastinating! Ha ha ha.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Disclosure</span><em>: </em>The stories contained herein are based on fractions of real life that may or may not have actually occured and cannot be used in the court of law or in any sense other than pure unadulterated entertainment. <em>Maybe</em>. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So anyways, this post really isn’t about weed.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">*My whole family just sighed in relief.*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">No, it’s about being aware of the repercussions of a neglected planet. One of which, in my opinion, equates the human race as somewhat of a cancer. We multiply and multiply and invent detrimental technologies because we are so fucking smart and totally awesome. But we’re not that smart. The dollar bill rules us. Politicians manipulate us. And we destroy one another and our planet . . .</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Scccrrrrraaatch</em>! (à la Beastie Boys) That just got way too fucking deep.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">____________________________________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Anyways, I just wanted to talk about some simple ways you can reduce, reuse, and rectum. Just kidding! RECYCLE! Here’s some of my favorites!</p>
<p>1.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Become a nudist.</span></strong> I recently came across an article entitled, “<a href="http://www.jayandjulieonline.com/Commentaries/ReduceYourCarbonFootprint.htm" target="_blank">50 Fun Ways to Reduce Your Personal Carbon Footprint</a>,” by Jay and Julia Online (which I don&#8217;t think is their real last name, but whatever).  It is packed full of fantastic energy saving tips including a call to kick it in yo birfday suit. </p>
<p>You see, according to Jay and Julie, you can save hundred dollah bills ya’ll if you, “[u]se fans during the summertime, and <strong>consider becoming a nudist</strong> in your home so that you do not need as much air conditioning.”</p>
<p>And also, they suggest that you:</p>
<p>“Don’t sleep alone on cold nights, save water and don’t shower alone, and <strong>become a nudist</strong> in your home . . . save energy, water and the cost of detergents. How about that – <strong>Nude Patriots for America and Mother Earth!</strong>”</p>
<p>This may seem a bit extreme for some. So, might I suggest taking baby steps? Start by buying a flesh colored unitard and a sharpie. Then let your imagination run wild! Fuckin bedazzle that shit if you want!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thefashionpolice.net/2008/10/suggestion-for-halloween-costumes.html"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/NudistUnitard.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2715" title="NudistUnitard" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/NudistUnitard.jpg" alt="" width="495" height="348" /></a></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">____________________________________________________________</p>
<p>2.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cloth Toilet Paper.</span></strong></p>
<p>Ever since Sheryl Crow recommended using just one square of toilet paper per numbers one and two, I always wondered what ply that bitch was using. And now I think I know. It’s called reusable cloth toilet paper. It’s the latest thing, and you should be wiping your ass with it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/42497927/cool-mom-picks-says-thumbs-up-on-eco?ref=sr_gallery_15&amp;ga_search_query=reusable+toilet+paper&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_facet=handmade" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2744" title="ReusableTP" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ReusableTP-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ReusableTP.jpg"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m not feeling completely comfortable with this concept.  However, I could warm up to the idea if they offered them in more visually pleasing designs. Like:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>You’re</em></strong><strong> so not fired! </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/trumpdumpTP.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2804" title="trumpdumpTP" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/trumpdumpTP-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/trumpdumpTP.jpg"></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/situationTP.jpg"></a>or,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Watch The Situation get tanner with each wipe! </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/situationTP.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2802" title="situationTP" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/situationTP-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>*Custom orders available upon request.*</p>
<p><em>I know, most of you won&#8217;t be rushing out to buy this . . . so maybe just be cognizant of how big of shits you are taking and try to eat less. Reduce!</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">____________________________________________________________</p>
<p>3.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vampire Electricity</span>.</strong>  Once again I must quote from Jay and Julie for their nudity activism, and, of course, their excellent energy saving tips! For instance, here Jay explains vampire electricity and provides usefeul tips to combat it.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>&#8216;</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The second best place to work out in the</strong> <strong>nude</strong> <strong>is in my own personal weight room</strong> </span>where I have a TV, a DVD player, a stereo system, and an audio receiver. These are <strong>“</strong>vampire” electronic devices that still draw power and generate heat, even when turned off. I plugged them all into a surge protector strip<strong>. . . </strong>and with just one click I can turn them all off when I leave the room. Look around your home for all the appliances and electronics that run all the time and consume electricity and generate heat whether or not you use them . . .  unplug seldom used appliances and machines when not in use.&#8217;</p>
<p>Hope you guys caught all that, cause I couldn&#8217;t stop thinking about Jay doing power snatches. <strong> </strong>Balls to the . . . .</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Like this you know, except in what nudists wear.<br />

<a href="http://www.fighttimes.com/magazine/magazine.asp?article=687"></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">____________________________________________________________</p>
<p>4.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Give the Gift of T&amp;A</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://home.golden.net/~dhobson/gardnews.html" target="_blank">Jill Thomas</a> raised breast cancer awareness when she showcased braziers as hanging flower pots in a flower competition which challenged the contestents to use unusual containers. She ‘wanted to send a message out that people should check their breasts regularly because of the risk of breast cancer.&#8217;  So do it, even if you&#8217;re a dude.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://home.golden.net/~dhobson/gardnews.html" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2805" title="BraFlowerPot" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BraFlowerPot-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BraFlowerPot.jpg"></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In keeping with the 3 R&#8217;s though, make your brazier flower pot outta your old ish and give it to the next lucky birthday haver. Oh, no brazier or bro? Then, try recycling a pair of whitey tighties for colon cancer awareness!  Here&#8217;s hoping you don&#8217;t use reusable cloth t.p.!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/skidFlowerpot.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2806" title="skidFlowerpot" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/skidFlowerpot-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">____________________________________________________________</p>
<p>5.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ditch the Plastic Bags</span></strong></p>
<p>Did you know that four to five trillion non-degradable plastic bags are used worldwide annually? And that these same <a href="http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/stories/liambartlett/598914/seas-of-shame" target="_blank">plastic bags kill</a> about 100,000 whales, seals, turtles and other marine animals each year? If that doesn’t make you want to put one over your head . . .</p>
<p>Anyways, if you haven’t done so already, switch to reusable bags and save a baby seal, okay? And hey, I know it’s difficult to adapt to new habits, and sometimes it’s all about convenience. So, here are some items that will assist you during your transition.</p>
<p><strong><em>Hey ladies!</em></strong> It’s your lucky day! Introducing the <em><a href="http://thingsthatmakeyougogreen.com/turn-your-bra-into-a-bag/2007/04/15/" target="_blank">No Regi-bukuro</a></em> (No Plastic Bag) bra which is made of recycled polyester and transforms into a shopping bag when not holdin up yo girls!  You never have to worry about leaving the bags in the car again!</p>
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/brabag.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2784" title="brabag" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/brabag-289x300.jpg" alt="" width="289" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/brabag.jpg"></a><strong>Pros:<br />
</strong>1.  It’s practically a transformer.<br />
2.  It’s two times reusable.<br />
3.  Adds padding to small ta-tas.<br />
4.  Could potentially get your groceries paid for by some perv.</p>
<p><strong>Cons:<br />
</strong>1.  Could potentially get your groceries paid for by some perv.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">* * *</p>
<p><strong><em>And for the gentlemen</em></strong>  . . .  Everyone knows the best place to meet the ladies is at the grocery store. Inspire conversation with this witty little number. Clothing optional.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Yes, it says &#8220;Stop Staring At My Tote&#8221;<br />
But I couldn&#8217;t take my eyes off the bread! </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Tote.bmp"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2791" title="Tote" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Tote.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Tote.bmp"></a></p>
<p><strong>Pros:</strong><strong><br />
</strong>1.  It&#8217;s an exceptional conversation starter.<br />
2.  It can hold up to fifteen loaves of bread.<br />
3.  Women are totally not creeped out by naked guys carrying reusable bags with amusing catch phrases.</p>
<p><strong>Cons:</strong><strong><br />
</strong>1.  It’s only funny if your naked and I can slap that ass.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">  ____________________________________________________________</p>
<p>6.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Line Dry Yo Shit</strong></span></p>
<p>Instead of wasting precious energy using your clothes-dryer, how bout you take a few moments and line dry yo shit? Not only will you save money, but your clothes will look newer longer! And, don’t fret about wearing old threads, fashion always comes back around. For instance, I’m still wearing my hammer pants from 7th grade. That shit is authentic. Young hipsters are fuckin jealous!</p>
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/hammerpants.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2846" title="hammerpants" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/hammerpants-240x300.png" alt="" width="240" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>And don’t feel limited to line drying just your clothes.  You can also save money by line drying your:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Kid.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/clothes-line-kid.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2847" title="clothes-line-kid" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/clothes-line-kid-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Or,<br />
<strong>Weave.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever met a celebrity? Specifically, a heavyweight champion, rapist and Hang Over cameo-extraordinaire?  Well, I did. Ah huh. And it got personal too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>KTBL Artist of the Month:<br />
Mike Tyson singing <em>In The Air to Night </em>via The Hangover<br />
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/04/mike-tyson-is-tho-thexy/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mike mutha fuckin Tyson, ya’ll! Back in the day, homie rolled up to my work-hood to mediate some shit. Yup, and I wanted to kick his ass. Rapist! But also, I really wanted to get his autograph for my now husband who has always enjoyed watching people beat the shit out of each other for money.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At first I was gonna be like “What up bitch? Autograph this shit right neow!” But I favored my ears so it was more like “Hey, ah, would you mind signing this for my, ah, financé, ah he’s a big fan and, ah, ya, please don’t rape me.”</p>
<p>Then Mike was all like, “Oh, you have a fiancé?”</p>
<p>And I was like, “Yup.”</p>
<p>Then Mike was all like, “Oh, is he a good kither?” (i.e., kisser)</p>
<p>And I was like, “Are you for real, yo?”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/mike-tyson-meme.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2621" title="mike-tyson-meme" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/mike-tyson-meme.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="379" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">________________________________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And then I was like, “Can you just sign here? And initial here, here, here, and here?” <em>What?</em>  Autograph/written contract – a girl’s gotta secure her future!</p>
<p>But nooooo, Mikey had to keep going. He was asking about tongue or no tongue and how could we be kissin before we got married. And I just kept thinking, I wonder if he’d let me punch him in the face. Just one time. I could have videotaped it and sold it to the some shady news outlet where it&#8217;d be replayed for all to see &#8211; <em>in slow motion</em>. Jaws would drop as Iron Mike fell to the ground . . . knocked out by the skinny white bitch who stood triumphantly over him with arms raised high! FIST PUMP!!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I was only granted an extremely random and uncomfortable conversation involving his bizarre fascination with my lip locking practice. No role play, no shenanigans, just a measly autograph. Bor-ing.</p>
<p>However, it would not be the last I heard from Mikey. In fact, several months later I received a scrapbook from him outlining his undying loveth for me. I have to admit, the kid’s got mad skillz with scissors and tape.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Coincidently, my initials were K.O.<br />

<p style="text-align: left;">The guy sure has a way with words, doesn&#8217;t he? I was absolutely swept off my feet. But alas, I was already engaged and so I politely declined his advances and enrolled in the witness protection program.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Although our timing was off, there has always been a part of me that wonders if we could have made it work. So sometimes &#8211; reminincing - I bust out old photos of Mikey. And, that&#8217;s when I remember why it never would have . . .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been suffering from an elevated frustration level due to my inability to determine what I want to be when I grow up. Yes, I am <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">34</span> 28. And, no, I am not grown up. Luckily, I have had a successful career which has provided me with financial stability, a great work-life balance, and lifelong friendships. However, the passion and drive that once fueled my fire has been extinguished – just like the fifth of Jameson in my desk drawer. </p>
<p>I know you may be thinking, “<em>ggiirrlll</em>, you just burnt out.” And, at first that’s what I thought too. But then I started reminiscing about my dreams and aspirations growing up. Man, I was <em>certain</em> I was going to be a lawyer, living in a mansion, driving around in a pink limousine, married to Danny G. (elementary school crush) with 100 kids. Okay, maybe I took the game MASH a little too seriously.  But, nonetheless . . .</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>MASH: Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House<br />
</strong>Click <strong><a href="http://www.mashgame.com/mashgame2010.html" target="_blank">here</a></strong> to play. DO IT!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, what occupation did you land on? Oh, me? I landed on my “Nature Park Guide” entry. And by “Nature Park,” I mean cobblestone paths lined with wild flowers, honey badgers and big ass trees &#8212; <em>not</em> snakes, cliffs or poison ivy. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Did I mention I would be dancing after the guided tour?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/NatureGuide.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2508" title="NatureGuide" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/NatureGuide-220x300.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong>____________________________________________________</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately though, that job doesn’t really fit into my scheme of things – so what else could I possibly do? I’ve already explored quite a few options including these past favorites:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Waitress </strong>at an old folks home. They were like Betty White on crack.</li>
<li><strong>Pool Girl. </strong>Maybe I should call it Billard Girl as I didn&#8217;t walk around in a bikini, but almost.</li>
<li><strong>Premium Finance Technician. </strong>Ya, I don’t know what the fuck that is either.</li>
<li><del><strong>Professional Bull Rider. </strong>Yee-Haw!</del></li>
<li><strong>Administrative Assistant.  </strong>I can organize the shit outta things.</li>
</ul>
<p>Honestly, Pool Girl was my most favoritist job I have ever had. My “uniform” consisted of black short shorts, an almost half-top referee shirt, and a pair of Converse. My job was to manage the pool table reservations, which included brushing the tables and, literally, racking yo balls. How slutty right? Right – and the tips were great too! It may have been fun and borderline illegal (did I tell you I was only 18?), but, unfortunately, it was short lived. :O(</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Hey! My eyes are up here . . . errr<br />
<a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Poolrack.bmp"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2487" title="Poolrack" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Poolrack.bmp" alt="" /></a></strong></p>
<p><strong>____________________________________________________</strong></p>
<p>In addition to seeking conventional jobs, I have also found myself guided bumpily down the road towards entrepreneurship. Like the time I attempted to sell knives to ninjas – okay, maybe <em>not</em> ninjas. But I definitely tried my hand at selling knives. Unfortunately, I never made a sale. Fuck knives. And people.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>That&#8217;s real blood from my last non-sale. </strong> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.perpetualkid.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2368" title="knife" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/knife.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>[<a href="http://www.perpetualkid.com/">www.perpetualkid.com</a>]</strong></p>
<p><strong>____________________________________________________</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Also, later in life, I had grandiose dreams of opening a pet resort and spa. Coincidentally, I was going to call it “Katie the Pet Lady.” (Original, <em>right</em>?) It was going to be tight! But, life moved me in another direction which is great because now I don’t perpetually smell like dog shit.</p>
<p>Although none of my previous endeavors worked out, they <em>were</em> awfully fun to dabble in! But, that is the past and now I need to focus on the future! So, let’s take a look at my other dream jobs as documented in <em>my</em> game of MASH:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forest Ranger</span>: I could wear a pith helmet and live in some small little forest that doesn’t have a lot of snow, just a little.  And, my cabin could have a nice deck overlooking the crick where I could lay out in the summer. And I could make my own moonshine and dance around in my knickers. Also, all the wildlife could be tamed by my song.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Just like this . . .<br />
<a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/snow-white1.bmp"></a><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/snow-white2.bmp"></a><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Snowwhite.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2509" title="Snowwhite" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Snowwhite-300x235.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="235" /></a></strong></p>
<div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>___________________________________________________</strong></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></div>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Writer</span>: Ah, to live out this fantasy would be divine. But, um, have you read the shit I be write&#8217;n? There’s not a long list of fools pitchin me book deals, <em>yet</em>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Human Resource Manager</span>: This is what I should strive for. What a great grown up job! But, this, this blog is going to ruin me, isn’t it?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Colon-Rectal Surgeon</span>: Because in the game of MASH there always has to be one shitty alternative. hee hee.</p>
<p>I must say, a couple of my MASH options look quite attainable with a little hard work and perseverence. And the others I will surely be reminded of when pursuing my hobbies or when I&#8217;m helping Toddler wipe his ass.</p>
<p>I must confess though, there is one other profession I am certain would suite me quite well &#8211; SAHM (Stay at Home Mom)! However, one caveat must be met before I could accept this position. You see I wanna get down wit Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart, and Oprah and well, there&#8217;s just no easy way to put it . . . Toddler&#8217;s got to go. I mean, who would watch Toddler when I was getting a massage or while I was watching Days of Lives? And Toddler would inevitably want juice or some shit when I was in the middle of ninja role playing. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Nice shirt, <em>dude</em>.<br />
<a href="http://www.zazzle.com/half_housewife_half_ninja_tshirt-235167131441544116"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2513" title="Half Housewife" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Half-Housewife-300x271.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="271" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>[<a href="http://www.zazzle.com/half_housewife_half_ninja_tshirt-235167131441544116">http://www.zazzle.com</a>]</strong></p>
<p><strong>____________________________________________________</strong></p>
<p>So, it looks as though my best bet is to continue to give my best in my current career, and invest time in activities that will help me advance towards my goals. Being that the average worker will change their career 3-5 times during their lifetime, I will embrace this change knowing that there is still hope I may be crowned &#8221;Pool Girl&#8221; once again! Holla!   </p>
<p>**<strong>Are you living the dream?  If not, what chu wanna do?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">I don’t know about you, but I find infomercials to be quite mesmerizing. When I stumble upon one, I can easily get lost in their awesomeness. I&#8217;m not certain what the intrigue is &#8211; maybe it’s the host’s enthusiasm for the product or their innate ability to talk up some random piece of shit like the Poop Freeze:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>You even get a Poop Freeze carry bag!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/03/infomercial-mania/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p>
<p>_________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Or, maybe my captivation is simply due to the shear fabulousness of the product itself . . . Regardless though, there&#8217;s no denying that infomercials are juicy information nuggets used to promote cutting edge products that will make our lives mo betta. Right? RIGHT!</p>
<p>And that brings me to the gem below &#8212; I saw this one during a Children&#8217;s Hospital commercial break the other night. Oh yes, it&#8217;s called the Trojan Triphoria Massager.  Mmm, hmm. Here you go:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I can&#8217;t wait to use this massager to relieve<br />
my upper back and neck pain!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/03/infomercial-mania/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p>
<p>_________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Utter awesomeness, right?  And that bitch got THREE!  Man. So, now it&#8217;s time to weigh the pros and cons of this product to determine if I should buy it for all my newly engaged girlfriends! </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pros:</span></strong>  </p>
<p>1.  It has five speeds and three pulse patterns!</p>
<p>2. Oh ya, and three interchangeable tips too. Mushroom tip anyone?</p>
<p>3. That shit will blow your hair back &#8211; cause nothing says &#8220;I just masturbated with my Trojan Triphoria&#8221; like windblown hair! <br />
<strong>Marketing. Genius.</strong></p>
<p>4. It’s a massager, NOT a vibrator. Mmm-k? No stigma.</p>
<p>5. Dudes will be stoked if you buy three of them. (<em>Go to video at<strong> </strong>:49</em> <strong><em>.</em> . .</strong> <strong>“<em>SWEET!”)<br />
</em></strong><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Trojan.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2170" title="Trojan" src="http://katiethebloglady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Trojan-217x300.jpg" alt="" width="217" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cons:</span></strong></p>
<p>1. It looks like an earthworm. Question: If you cut the head off will it grow back? Dudes are cringing right about neow.</p>
<p>2. If your fiance&#8217;s stoked on having three, he may use it more than you.</p>
<p>3. Again, that shit will blow your hair back. </p>
<p>4. It doesn&#8217;t glow in the dark.</p>
<p><strong>Looks like my girls are in luck!<br />
</strong>_________________________________________________________</p>
<p><strong>AND NOW FOR A LITTLE T&amp;A:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Oh yes, here comes the next best thing.  <br />
The Tiddy Bear, ya&#8217;ll!<br />
</strong><p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/03/infomercial-mania/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p>
<p> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pros (before Hoes):</span></strong></p>
<p>1. Who <em>wouldn&#8217;t </em>want to buy it? It&#8217;s a mutha fuckin TIDDY BEAR!</p>
<p>2. No more shoulder straps cutting into your skin and cutting off the oxygen to your brain! Which means <em>less</em> accidents, #duh!</p>
<p>3. It&#8217;s filled with soft cushy beads so it snuggles comfortably against your titty or man-titty.</p>
<p>4. The Tiddy Bear is such a cute little guy!</p>
<p>5. Buy one get one free &#8211; it&#8217;s just a shame boob jobs don&#8217;t operate under the same premise.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Cons:</strong></span></p>
<p>1. The cost is $14.95? I mean, I really think they should be selling it for like fiddy cent (get it &#8220;fiddy,&#8221; &#8220;tiddy&#8221; &#8211; omg I kill me).</p>
<p>2. It only comes in orange. Boooo! What about pink or blue or <em>leopard</em>?!?</p>
<p>3. The patent is pending. What kind of shit is that?</p>
<p>4. It doesn&#8217;t glow in the dark.</p>
<p><strong>I am totally buying this shit. <br />
</strong>_________________________________________________________</p>
<p>Another revolutionary product I found is the Comfort Wipe.  Yee-haw, I can now wipe my ass without ever worrying about getting shit on my hands or under my fingernails! <em>SWEET!</em> (Like how Trojan boys says.)   </p>
<p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/03/infomercial-mania/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pros:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. First improvement to toilet paper since the 1880&#8242;s! FINALLY!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>2. </em>Extends your reach a full 18 inches! *Things that make you go &#8220;hmm.&#8221;*</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>3. </em>Anatomically designed <em>. . .</em>errr, what does that mean?!? </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">4. As easy to use as a shower brush (or butt plug).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">5. You can multipurpose it to pick up litter during your court-ordered community service.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cons:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1.  Wow. Can&#8217;t think of any. Except it doesn&#8217;t glow in the dark. I&#8217;m big on that.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Looks like I&#8217;ll be making another purchase!<br />
</strong>_________________________________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Moving on . . . to food. If ya&#8217;ll are parents, or Mr. T., you understand how important it is to expedite meals. Enter the FlavorWave Oven:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I pitty the fool who bought this shit<br />
(and watched the video past the 1 min. mark).<br />
</strong> <p><a href="http://katiethebloglady.com/2011/03/infomercial-mania/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p>
<p>One question.  Where the fuck are Mr.T&#8217;s gold chains? Sell out! </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">BONUS:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Allz I gosta say is, I don&#8217;t think the Lab was done taking a shit before they pinched it.  But anyways . . .</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The end. xoxo</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">P.S. Instead of spending your hundred dollah bills on shit like this, why not send a donation to our friends in Japan who have suffered and continue to suffer losses so great it&#8217;s unfathomable.  Text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 towards the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami. Thanks friends!</p>
