“Take a Stab at It” ~ PROJECT MOM CASTING CALL

If we haven’t met, I’m Kat. A mom-a-holic, career-a-holic, and happy-hour-a-holic. In no particular order. I pumped four little kids out of my womb in a five year time span. Yes, I know how babies are made. No, none of them were accidents. I am a Kat who has let wwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyy too much outta her [...]

Seriously: “Check me in, now”

Did you ever physically want to hurt someone, based on something that is sooo not important?  But, it just eats at you — BURNS you up… where you’ve considered that you would consider time behind bars, for the crime you’re driven to commit, just b/c of your anger? I have. I’m experiencing it as. i. [...]

Seriously? “Welcome to our ‘ool’. Notice there is no ‘P’ in it? Please keep it that way!”

I’m at a pinnacle opportunity with Today’s Cliche. Testing the proverbial waters of really stripping away the onion into my unfeigned emotions, palpable insecurities, and raw idiosyncrasies.  But, I still fear being judged and showing “the real me”. Why? A huge portion of this hesitance is because I was raised in a family where we didn’t really [...]

Part 4: “S C R E W Luck!”

I had to laugh, b/c as I was juicing up my creative energy to finish up this highly-anticipated post , I came across the below email that was sitting in my Inbox. It explains WELL what I believe will effectively communicate the round-up for Part 4. It’s an email TO ME, from someone who was [...]

Part 3: “Luck is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity.” – Seneca

Okay, so I just received a Comment on Part 2 from Oprah — herself. Seriously. Claiming I couldn’t take the pressure? You joking me? Working for Oprah would be a walk-in-the-freaking-park compared to taking care of these kids.  My past 2 weeks have blown chunks. Yeah, so I bitch about work every now and then… [...]

Note 2 Self: I’m Going to Get Struck By Lightning”

I better check the Weather Channel and stay as FAR away from ANYTHING metal (or be sure to be covered in a rubber suit) for the next decade of thunderstorms. Don’t point fingers at me… you’re the one who’s gonna be fighting back the gigglin’ tears and silent shrugging shoulders as you scroll down. I [...]

Seriously: “Not Happening”

“I will never, ever go camping… I’m terrified of bugs (as is the daughter-sadly-in-training) and prefer room service over cooking eggs over a fire”. Well, that was me a few months ago. That is, before going on a camping trip (trekking 3 miles into the forest with EVERYTHING ON OUR BACK including-about-10-liters-of-alcohol-to-aid-in-sleeping) with my oldest [...]

Seriously?: “I Think I Broke My Leg”

Finally.  The video you all have been bugging me about — the one I have attempted (on MORE than one occasion!) to upload to Oprah Winfrey’s competition to have my “OWN” show. Here’s the Title of the proposed show: I will write more about it tomorrow, but to say “I’ve had my struggles” getting it [...]

Seriously: “Break a Leg!!

I was VERY tempted to find a nasty picture of Joe Theismann, Tim Krumrie, Moises Alou or Jason Kendall, but thought better of it.  For those of you who are sports nuts, I know for certain your stomach did flips over each of those references.  Actual photos may have caused worse! Today, my favorite Oprah-wannabe [...]

Seriously? – “Shoot(ing!) for the Stars”
