My name is Katie, and I'm an addict

As addictions go, through, it's not so bad. :)

Prison Break fall finale - squeeeeee!!

I wonder how many Prison Break-related hospital admissions there have been? Last week's show was, hands-down, the MOST exciting episode to date; and it ended on such a heart-pounding note! If I don't end up on blood pressure medication by the time this show runs its course, it'll be a miracle.



The biggest reason I watch PB: I am a huge MiSa shipper (Michael/Sara relationship fan). The developments in their relationship over the last few weeks have made me SQUEEEEEEEEE.

Tomorrow night is the fall finale, before the show goes on hiatus until the end of January. I am getting together with my good friend Kenny, who is also a huge PB fan, to watch the finale. I am so excited for the show; but also bummed that I won't see any new shows for two months! FOX's original plan was to take the show on hiatus for FOUR months, like they did last season; so I can at least be grateful that they've rethought that outstanding little bit of programming genius. Thank goodness for bit torrent downloads!

The cutest things in the world

It's interesting the discoveries you make in parenthood. Every day brings new little lessons; when your kids are babies, you discover what will soothe them and keep them comfy and happy. As they get older, the discoveries are a bit more profound.

I realized yesterday that the sweet little moments outweigh the moments of terrible behaviour when you wonder why on earth you had kids. This isn't, of course, the first time I've thought of this; but every so often it really becomes apparent. The quality of the sweet moments outweigh the bad moments at least 100 to 1.

Yesterday morning I was upstairs getting ready for work, when I heard C. asking to get out of her high chair. I called downstairs to ask J. to get her out. He came over to take off the tray, and said to her, "Pick up your juice, C." and she said, "It miwk, J.!"

Awwwwwww!!! :) Sweet little interactions like that get my day off to such a great start.

Paint fumes

Been a while. :)

My office is being painted. Not just my own room; but the entire office. It's not a huge office; about 2,000 sq ft. They started last Monday. As in, a week ago. They're not finished yet and I'm about ready to scream.

They started painting my own office yesterday morning. Two coats on the walls. Looks great. This morning I asked my boss whether they could please just get the trim done so I could move my furniture back towards the walls. Everything is currently shoved into the middle and I can barely even put my feet under my desk, let alone nagivate the office comfortably. Yeah, they painted the trim; but apparently another coat needs to go on, and despite the fact that the trim was dry by 12:30, the second coat still had not gone by the time the guy left for the day at 3:30. My own office space is about 7 feet by 11 feet. 77 sq. ft. Three fucking days?? I could have painted the room with my fucking TONGUE faster than this.

I am so sick of the smell of paint; if I never smell it again it'll be too soon.
