Return to Sender...

Having just moved I decided that the 600 free return address labels I have from various charities with my old address won't cut it...spying an e-mail from Vistaprint I decided to check out what they have to offer...

When perusing the menu of designs I came across the category of "sensual" and of course curiosity got the better of me...

For the lover of the male form:

I imagine this might be a good way for a dude to come "out" - can you imagine Grandma getting this letter?
"What's that? Is that a mushroom? The creature from Predator?"




"Ah yes I'm looking for a naked lady with an elongated torso with butterfly wings coming out the back, you have it? Well sh*t, you all think of everything!"

  

  
From the "masculine" collection:



If you really want to freak Grandma out



You do have the option of making your own, with your own images...oh I had way too much fun with that feature...




I really might get this one



I'm pretty sure I'm not getting this one



Well whatever I choose it's been fun looking around at all the options...

 

Ode to 206 *sniff*

After spending the last 10 years in apartment 206 I feel I must pay tribute and say Goodbye to a dear friend!

The year is 2000...the decor is decidedly IKEA on the cheap:

*Bonus Where's Waldo question, can you spot the THREE boxes of tissues?

As the years went on I hosted many a "sleepover at Aunt Kate's" house with the little tykes that are now so grown up!

 

Movies on the big screen....my wall.

So the place is a little dated....

To go along with outdated apt...a REALLY old microwave from Larry:

The first time I used my new microwave to make popcorn (thanks Sara & Don!)
(Needless to say it was a bit more powerful than the 1970's one I had)

Look who got rid of the IKEA couch and chair?

Lucia makes the best out of the outdated kitchen:

                                     Rachel & Mehren (in front of the infamous TV cabinet)


Um I needed to include this pic for the background...

Tribute to Mandy...she spent many a night on my couch...she was as much a part of 206 as I was...

All in all 206 was very good to me! I shall miss you dear old apartment!

Top Ten Reasons Kate is "OK" with turning 35

- Finally feels "mature" (don't read the rest of this blog)

- Still the baby of the family while others enter their 40's (suck it!)

- Already has a tea cabinet full of old lady stuff.

- Feels good that Angelina Jolie is also 35...wait ... that doesn't make me feel good.

- Finally owns her own "home"

- You gotta get older, right?

-  Her toes still feel 25.

- 30's are the new 20's (oh what BS is that?)

- All her friends will/have turned 35 too...

And the number one reason Kate is OK with turning 35:

- She holds out hope she still might grow a couple more inches.
