I've been a bad blogger. Every (other) day or so I think to myself, "Wow, Kate...you should really blog something." And then I think: You have nothing to say! Am I really that boring? One would hope not.
So what's been happening in my world lately?
- I am currently hosting a German. She's here with her students who are visiting from our sister city in Germany. She's their English teacher, and she speaks very good English (obviously!) So...that's going well so far - except that I feel bad kicking her out of the living room (one of two rooms in my small apartment) so I can watch the Biggest Loser. Oh well, I'll catch it online in a day or so.
- We're going to apply for a loan Friday!! Yay :) We don't have school Friday so E and I are going a couple places to get pre-approved for a loan. I'm very excited about this. Can you tell?
- The Central Missouri Humane Society is in the top 10 animal shelters - voting for the 1,000,000 $$ makeover starts on the 10th (I think!) Zootoo is the best!
- I'm a wonderful procrastinator. I'm supposed to be done with The Brothers Karamazov by tomorrow and I'm currently on page 487 of 735. Eeek.
- Above statement shows how truly wonderful I am at procrastinating. Hello? Blogging Kate?! Read!!
- Playing fetch with my cat (also currently do this) is hilarious. He's too darned cute.
- I have a 5K this weekend that I'm hoping to excel in. We shall see.
Okay, I'm off to read. Seriously.

So I joined a challenge at my local gym, The Biggest Loser. They track your percentage lost over a four month period, and I'm pretty psyched because they've got some sweet prizes (can you say 1-hour massage?)! Well, when you sign up they take your weight and measurements so I compared it to my weight and measurements from when I signed up at the gym. Curious, are you?
From July 2007 - January 2009
Pounds lost: 38
BMI: Start - 30.2, Now - 23.9
Fat: Start 35.8%, Now - 29.2%
Inches Lost:
Chest: 6
Waist: 8
Hips: 8
Thighs: 2
Calves: 1
Yes, you could say I was pretty psyched about that. A little freaked that I let it get as bad as I did, but psyched that I've come so far since May 2008 (when I started WW).
In other news? My new year's resolution is going good. It's tough. But so far? No biting nails! No biting cuticles! I think it might be harder than WW. Maybe because there's not such a great benefit in the end?
Well, Simon wants to play fetch. Silly cat. I swear he thinks he's a dog.
