Oh a much Happier Note

 After all that ranting... I want to show off my puppy!! The first picture is of when he was 12 weeks old and the next one is during 6 months =)  

Conversations

A conversation is communication between two or more people. If there is only one person talking, than it's just a boring speech about YOURSELF! I understand venting and all that other stuff but I am listening to "girl A" talk AT "girl  B" about how AMAZING "Girl A" is and how everyone loves her. And I just want to shoot her in the foot... but then it would just make her louder, so I won't do that. I just don't understand why people love hearing their own voice and why they have to brag about themselves to EVERYONE that is willing to listen. I truly despise those type of people. I especially hate it when people do that, and I already don't like them. 


Now, this girl (Girl A) always walks(drives, sits, ect) around with her nose in the air looking like she smells something horrible underneath her... might be her own stinky attitude. I'm not one to exaggerate, so I'll say this I am not the only one that has mentioned this about her or has said it to her. I know this rambling is out of my own frustration and you know what, if given the opportunity I would say all of this to her face. One day this stuck up girl is going to catch me on a bad day and she won't know what hit her. 


SERIOUSLY?! Who brags about the fact that their boyfriend is broke and she has to support them...? It's been a while since I've been in a relationship, but I figured that's proper etiquette to at least leave your man with some type of dignity. Then again, I am talking about a girl who defended her boyfriend after she found out he was cheating. "He didn't know what he was doing and he didn't mean to..." Chika... he knew what he was doing and he did mean it!! FRUSTRATION!! 

Senior Freak Outs

I just looked at my degree plan to see how many more classes I need to take... and it says that two classes I took, I didn't.... So I'm a little worried. I plan to talk to my advisor tomorrow but I can't help but freak out. I just want so bad to graduate that it's not even funny!! I can not stand another year in college, yeh it's fun and all but I need to do something else besides studying! So please, anyone reading this, please pray for me

Back to school

It's my SENIOR year in COLLEGE!! Heck yeh!! Not really as excited as I sound... I'm actually terrified! It's like about to go into the unknown. Am I going to get a job? What the hell am I going to do after graduation?

Well dang...

Anyways, I really need to kick it up this year (study wise) and get my GPA up!!

Camp Review

Mosaic Fellowship 1st Annual Youth Camp

When I was told I was going to be counselor for my Church's youth camp, my exact reaction was to cringe. That meant taking off hours from work and having to responsible for a bunch of high school kids? Definitely not for me! But I was pleasantly surprised when I got there and actually had a blast!

I actually had wanted to completely skip work completely instead of taking half a day. I met so many incredibly amazing people and saw what God did through all the people who attended, including the counselors and parents who attended. By the time camp was over I could see a huge change in everyone, for the better.

I even got to rekindle some friendships that had faded because of our busy lives and distance. And I'm so incredibly happy I got to spend time with my sisters from other misters. Next year I won't mind being a counselor but I will NOT do registration again... I never feel comfortable handling that much money.

Anyways that's my review for youth camp! If you ever get the opportunity to go, I deeply suggest it!

Advocare Diet

So I just started this new diet called Advorcare. They have a 24 day program for weight loss. Now I'm not all into fad diets but it's my senior year in college and I feel like it's time to get rid of those pesky freshman 15 I could not get rid of during my sophomore and junior year.

Well like I said the diet is a 24 day program. Days 1-10 are the cleansing days and days 11-24 are the "Max Days". So far it seems to be working, my stomach is a bit flatter and it's only been 4 days. I am determined to lose these extra pounds before my graduation! And this is something I can not give up on!

I hope ya'll stay with me while I work my weight off! Like many girls, I have those "high school" jeans deep in my closet and on May 15, 2010 I am going to fit into them.

Much Love,

Katrina

Gambit's Diary

Before I start this, I just want to say I am not a crazy dog person. My dog, Gambit (yes! After the X-man), is just a huge part of my life. =) He's like my child (for a 20 year old college student, a dog is a child). Anyways, I adopted him from the pound on May 14, 2010, so he's still a puppy.
Gambit's Information

• Adopted May 13, 2010
• Born February 23, 2010 (Just guessing because he was about 12 weeks when I got him)
• And he's a Chion!! (Papillion/Chiuaua)

Normally, I'm not a Chihuahua fan but whenever you mix another breed with it, that dog is the cutest thing in the world!

Being a puppy of course he's having some behavioral issues, such as; chewing, barking (even though it's not that loud), licking people's faces (which I blame my little brother), and not eating.
Luckily, he's partially potty trained, he has small accidents but he's still a puppy of course there will be accidents. He goes straight to the door if he really has to go, but if Gambit gets to lazy he'll end up peeing on the rug or something. Which gets incredibly annoying. The worst part is that I still go to college and onyy live with my mom during breaks, and of course living in a dorm we aren't allowed to have pets bigger than a beta fish… can you see where this is heading? I have no where to keep him! I'm trying to talk to my mom into letting him stay at her place by saying that he's getting better (which he is with out a doubt!). He doesn't even need a leash when we go on walks, even though I use a  leash because it's the law, Gambit just follows me.

Lately, I've been doing a lot a research about dogs; how to train them, what to feed them, and a bunch of other topics about pets. And all the experts keep saying that anything I try to do will end up with a dysfunctional pet. You can't leave them outside when you're at work because "dog are valuable and you wouldn't leave your child in the backyard". You can't leave them inside your home because "they'll get bored and destroy everything". What are you suppose to then? Get a babysitter? Heck no! I'm YEARS away from that stage of my life! 


So what is an owner suppose to do?

Top 10 How To's on Google

Well that was entertaining… =)

How to tell if he's gay

Now I've always prided myself on my amazing gaydar but sometimes that gaydar just doesn't work. So I've been trying to figure out, "can you really know if the hot guy working with you is gay?" I know I'm not the only woman who has come up against this question.

For those who don't know, a gaydar, (according to Urban Dictionary) is the ability/gift of being able to detect homosexuality in other people.

When I talk about my "gaydar" it's nothing super exciting. If a gay guy walks in the room and I have my back to him, NO I can't sense him with my gaydar. I have to look at a man and just by his mannerisms I can usually tell if he's gay.

Disclaimer: I do not claim to be an  expert in this subject, these are my own personal methods.

Things I see that I automatically put a man in the Homosexual category:

• His walk: If his hips sway more than mine do
• His Talk: This includes his voice, the way his mouth moves, and his vernacular
• His hand: Watch his hand, the way it moves always tips me off

 It's the little things I look for.

Now what do you do if the cute guy near your desk makes your gaydar go off like crazy, but he claims to have a girlfriend?  You believe him! Do not force him to come out (if you have strong vibes that he's gay), he probably isn't gay or is in denial. This is advice I've given myself to take and listen to, so I know how hard it is to follow! (Well not really... I have a lot of self-control). Because honestly, there's no proven way to find out a guy is gay unless you ask him, but why put him (and yourself) through that embarrassment.

The cute guy you work with seems straight in every sense of the word, EXCEPT that when he walks he sways his hips more than Shakira! Never in my life have I met a heterosexual man who sways their hips that much! How can he say he has a girlfriend but my gaydar goes off like crazy when he walks?

My advice... let it go. If he doesn't have a girlfriend and he's gay than he's off limits. And if he's straight with a girlfriend, then he is for sure off limits! Just play nice and don't mention anything about his sexuality. Because it's obviously none of your business.

Coming Up! =)

I really don't know why I started up another blog… I guess I felt that I needed a place that wasn't so teen rowdy. Tumblr's great, facebook is amazing, twitter is a way to get your life out there. I'm not bashing any of those other sites, well because I use most of them on a daily basis. I wouldn't say I live on those site, but it's a good way to pass the time.
Well for this entry, I just wanted to share what I have coming up.

• More information about me! =) Because who doesn't love to write about themselves.
• Movie reviews for Avatar: "The Last Airbender" and "Eclipse". Watching both of them on Saturday!
• Gay guys with girlfriends
• And Jealous girlfriends

Now I just want to point out that everything that I write on here, are things that I come up against in my everyday life. So my first entry about workplace manners… I've found out recently is VERY important to me. And I can guarantee that if you follow those simple guidelines on how to act in the workplace, the pranks co-workers pull on you will not completely and totally piss you off. =) And they won't take your office supplies either.
 
More to Come

Just testing out this email.. =) Will delete later

Etiquette in the Workplace

Sitting at work next to this guy who keeps drumming… And dancing around whenever he does something good. Those type of people who will suck up to everyone and anything. I just wish he would stop talking to himself, seriously mumbling that's totally fine but talking out loud and exclaiming happily (annoyingly)!

So kids here are some workplace etiquette tips that you should always follow!!

• Chewing gum quietly is perfectly acceptable, smacking and popping bubbles is a HUGE no-no!
• Where appropriate office attire (Cover up tattoos, don't expose midriffs, and especially DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES)
• Please and Thank You will always be the magic words!
• Don't Gossip
• Do not Hover
• Do not listen to your ipod at work… it is very looked down upon
• Do not hit on your co-workers (especially if you don't have game)
• Don't lie about loving to work out, when we can tell that you'v never worked out a day in your life! (except maybe in PE)
• Shower EVERYDAY and use deodorant, and if you don't want to on a certain day, please take the day off!
• The boss is ALWAYS almost right!
• Don't be a brown-noser
• Do not obssess when 3 of your skittles go missing
• Always use an indoor voice (especially if you're talking to yourself)
• Do not talk out LOUD to yourself, it's very disruptful especially when your neighbor is less than a foot away from you.

Well I hope this helps you future working folk! If you follow these rules, your co-workers may not steal 3 of your skittles.
