You oughta know
I always feel like I need to put some sort of “about me” post up when I know I’m getting ready to meet a bunch of new bloggers. And I wrote it out, read it and realized that it was just sort of a regurgitation of my 100 things list and my FAQs page. And as much as I’m a fan of regurgitation, I’m going to spare you a little.
You’re welcome.
So instead, here are 10 11 things you need to know about me this weekend.
1. My name is Katie (okay, so that’s not necessarily related to only this weekend, but you know, it seems like something you should know), but I have a boat load of sisters and will respond to pretty much any girl’s name. I also hate embarrassing people, so if you call me by a different name, I won’t correct you. I also won’t tell you that you have food in your teeth. But that’s just because I’m an ass.
2. I do not have children. Though I love them dearly and if you bring one, I might have to squeeze it. Just a little. Unless it’s prone to projectile spitting up. In which case, no thank you.
3. I’ve had 6 needles stuck in my back in the past 10 days. I am sore, I got some crappy health news and I will sit a lot. I will also be in comfortable shoes and will move my hips/back as little as possible while dancing. Which will likely have no impact on my white girl dance moves.
4. I’m not pregnant (I swear), but I’m not drinking (much) alcohol for reasons related to my effed up brain.
5. I will have a caffeinated beverage in my hand pretty much every hour of the day. My doctor told me to (I swear!)
6. I have a headache every single moment of every single day. Please don’t judge me if you see me popping pills. They’re all legal and prescribed and necessary for my functionality.
7. I am not a morning person, but I try. Unless you start singing at me, and then you’re dead to me.
8. USC is going to beat Notre Dame this weekend. I will not argue with you about this.
9. My purse is from Target.
10. Yes, that picture at the top is the back of my head and yes, you’re welcome to have a peek at my scar. Don’t be surprised when I have hair. This always seems to confuse people.
11. I love cake. This is also not necessarily relevant to this weekend, but may be important should you wish to forge a friendship.
12. What happens in Vegas will be captured on my camera and posted for the internet. Except that I don’t really know how my camera works. So you’re probably safe.
See you there.
Or not.
Which is fine too.
And go check out Daisy’s place later. I’m working (sloooooowly) on a guest post while she wraps up her honeymoon!
Welcome! I'm Katie, a 27 year old, full-time graduate student who just happened to have brain surgery in November of 2007 to give my ginormous brain a little more space. This blog chronicles my daily life, from relentless headaches to falling over in public to being a doctor's wife. Sit down, get comfortable and stay for a while.





wish i could come and meet you. I would totally bring you cake (and probably ask to see your scar)

I LOVE Target bags- they are the best.
I tried to add your blog today to google reader and it wouldn’t work- any idea why?
No worries either way, you are in my saved folder.

This is such a great post- and of course USC came through.
Wish I had seen you more this weekend and had offered you cake instead of pesto covered chicken.
And, I love you.
Like real love.
