my red shoes

Yesterday I was doing a community event for the sheriff's office and I walked in to this little cute old church that was built out in 1912 and it was a senior luncheon. So I came through the doors in my red heels and this precious little old women says
"well aren't you sassy?" and I said,

"Yes I am. I am glad you can tell that just by looking at me before I have even said anything."

At the end of the event another little lady pulled me aside and said, I have a pair of red heels too although I can't fit into them anymore because of my bunions. But my husband loves when I put them on. I love my red heels."


So for the record I love my red heels, I look extra sassy and cute too boot ;O)

my drinking experience

Ok so I work at an establishment where I get paid to drink...what you say??? yes I got paid yesterday to sit in a room, drink, watch a movie, and act silly (what I do best) all for the purpose of new cops to be able to practice their road side tests on real people.

So I had enough to drink where I was feeling good and my level was . 056 and the legal limit to get arrested is .08 so I would not have gotten arrested for DUI, but would have for DWI which is not as severe but people should still not be driving. But I wasn't so it was ok.

So these brand new cops come into a room where I am and their sergeants and lieutenants are all observing them...so what do I do give them a little crap. One I asked if he wanted to go on a date with me (kidding of course) another cop I asked if I passed the test and he was like oh yeah. Since I had been tested so many times by the different pairs of officers, I knew what they were supposed to say to me so he wasn't saying it right and I asked am I supposed to keep my arms down and keep my feet together. He was nervous :o)

So at the end of this experiment where I had been tested by six different pairs of officers and the conclusion was that no one would have arrested me for anything and they got few clues of me being drunk.

The comments from the guys who were conducting it was that katie is an experienced drunk and you need to pay attention because you will run into people like this who know how to mess with you and pass the tests.

So I guess I am the girl who if gets pulled over I can pass the tests.

But the ironic part is...I don't drink that often and I still did very well.

So I got paid to drink and mess with officers...it was fun.

I went for a walk last night in the evening. People were outs on their porches and in their yards and the dogs and cats. I have never been barked at by so many dogs...phew , that part was not fun.

But one couple I passed was just sitting in a loveseat, with a glass of wine they each had and in the background was jazz music loud enough for passer byers to enjoy but not too loud. They said hi to me as I passed and were very friendly and then their cat came out to greet me so I stopped and scratched his head.

All the while the lady said "that is charlie he is available for scratches"

So Charlie and I had a moment.

But it was just a nice enjoyable walk just passing by and loving the scenery. To be peaceful. Then I ended the walk by laying down in the grass looking at the stars while talking with one of my favorite people on the phone.

Take a walk today, by yourself, talk with God, be quiet, just enjoy the scenery. I promise you will like it.

Now off to go enjoy my day :)

25

I turned 25 on Saturday and I want to thank everyone that came out to celebrate it.

At dinner I looked around as I was surrounded by people who are great and mean a lot to me and thought I am blessed.

Even though those people pooped out and didn't want to go dancing with me after dinner I still love all of you!!!

I am happy I turned 25 at my present life state in Colorado, because the life style of people out here is chill and laid back. The fact that I am 25 and not married and single is completely fine, in fact almost better.

So here is to being 25, still can't believe I am that old!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I helped out in children's nursery at church today for the first time at my church here. It was great!!!

There was this little girl who was so shy and kept on pulling up her dress to show me her underwear :o)

Not on purpose of course, but she was so precious. I got her to smile and even talk to me. I have missed being around little kids and can't wait to go home in a week and be by my nieces and nephew. My nephew told me yesterday that he has made a calendar of how many days til I come home and then he asked "so what are you doing for our birthday?" I mean like he is a man instead of a little kid. He is too smart for his own briches and I can't wait to see his precious face at the airport.

One more week, and this week is going to be the week from hell at work.
