Life with the D's

Best party!!

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 11:00:00 +0000

hmmm...This shouldn't be so hard considering I haven't been to too many actual parties!

I think it would have to be, my 16th birthday party! I had so many friends over and had so much fun! I was actually super surprised that so many people actually showed up!!

But the most recent party I had that was so much fun, was our summer party 2 years ago (yeah, 2 years ago!) But it was a blast!! I remember thinking that no one was going to show up because people kept texting me saying they weren't coming. I was super bummed! But it turned out to be so much fun! I had people show up that weren't even invited because they drove by and seen that we were having a party! It was fun!

What is your favorite party?

The story of the missing sock!!

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 22:30:00 +0000

The missing sock always pisses me off!! Seriously where in the hell does it go???

I'm convinced that there is a little man in the dryer just waiting to take that sock! Then he stashes them all in his secret spot in the dryer! After you search high and low for that missing sock and you can't find it so you have to throw the other one away, he takes that missing sock out and sticks it back in the dryer!!! So, not only are you confused because you threw the other sock away the day before and already took the trash out, so there is not getting it back, you have to now throw the other one away!! UGH!!

Damn you little man in the dryer!! :-)

(yes, this is an extremely weird post! But I took these post topics from a LARGE list of blog topics! ad frankly I was so over looking for topics so this one won!)

Have you heard that they are letting the first 100 bloggers that sign up and get approved, review and give one away??!?!! I'm super excited about this and I hope I'm one of the first 100!

I have been wanting to try these for a very long time!!! :-)

Something I quit!

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 11:00:00 +0000

When I was younger I was a big nail biter! I quit doing that when I got older...

But my biggest thing I quit was smoking! Yes, I had some set backs when I was quitting, but it does feel good to not smoke...

What is something you quit? What is something you wish you would quit?

My ultimate vacation would be....

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 21:30:00 +0000

hmmm...this is kind of a tough one!

I'm not a sunny, hot weather beach person...

I think my ultimate vacation would be just traveling! Going to many different states! and then at the end of visiting them all, I would love to spend a week in Niagara Falls and then a week in Toronto!

I love Canada! Always have, always will!!

Canada is pretty much my favorite place to be! There are so many things to do and to see! I could totally live there!

I'm also a big fan of the UP! I love it there as well and hope to move there one day!!

What is your ultimate vacation?

Flowers!!

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 11:00:00 +0000

I love flowers!

One thing I love about Scott, is that he is always sending me flowers at work! I love getting flowers! For any reason!! I should totally become a florist!

Flowers make me happy. They always brighten my day! Some people want other things and think flowers are a waste of money, since they die so quickly. But that doesn't matter to me! It's the thought that counts and they are always so pretty!

Flowers to me is one of the most thoughtful gifts someone can give! Flowers work for an occasion, any reason!!

Are you a flower fan? Would you rather get something else?

Christmas time and decorations...

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:30:00 +0000

I LOVE Christmas time! Like way love it!

I always over decorate! The lights are so sparkly and so pretty!

I love presents, love giving presents, love the time spent with people!

Christmas is my absolute favorite Holiday! I know that Jesus is the reason for the season, but being able to decorate, give and receive presents just makes it even more fun and special!

What is you favorite Holiday?

When I drink coffee...

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 12:30:00 +0000

...I turn into a complete spaz...Sometimes! Other times it kind of chills me out and makes me tired...Weird, I know!

But I will only drink coffee if it is half creamer and tons of sugar!!

TMI: It also makes me have to poop! :-) haha...

I have tried and tried and tired to become a coffee drinker, but I just can't be. It's not yummy tasting to me and like I said, sometimes it chills me out and makes me tired! So what is the point?

Do you like coffee??

Biggest fear(s) and why!

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Thu, 31 May 2012 15:30:00 +0000

A lot of people I know, have the fear of dying and leaving their loved ones behind, but if you live life to the fullest, I really don't think that should be a fear!

One of my fears is my house burning down! I would be a complete basket case! I am not prepared to lose all of my things! All of my pictures, our stuff...Ugh! Thinking about it gives me anxiety! :-)

Yes, they are things, but I can't replace pictures of things and that's the biggest issue!

My other fear is real fur! AHHHH...I HATE real fur skinned stuff...Coats, rugs, scarfs! Anything that an animal was killed for and skinned! Creeps that shit out of me!!

What are your fears!?

Something I need to let go of!

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Thu, 31 May 2012 12:00:00 +0000

There really isn't anything I need to "let go of", but there are things I just need to stop worrying about!

My problem is, is that I OVERTHINK things WAY too much! And once I get to thinking and get the thought in my head it's so annoying!

I'm an over thinker! Always have been and always will be! I think me over thinking has lost me some friends or made them back away from our friendship! But this is OK...Because if they are going to stop being my friend because of that, then they were never my friend!

Blogging...What do your friends and family think?

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Thu, 31 May 2012 03:24:00 +0000

Honestly, they don't care!

I have told some family about it and they were interested about it at the time I told them, but they don't read. I have mentioned it again and it's not something my family is interested in. I would rather not have them reading it, but it's not something I'm going to hide!

I have told friends about it and they also don't seem interested in it! They are interested in the fact that they get to help me review things, but non of them read it. With the exception of some. Again, I'm fine with that too. I would rather not have some people read it. And if they found it and I knew certain ones were reading it, I would stop posting certain things!

I know my husbands friend reads this (Hi Kris!) and this is the main reason why I stopped doing sex toy reviews! :-) haha...I know people know I get buck naked and freaky!! :-) haha....I really don't do that! But it just feels uncomfortable knowing some people read certain posts! :-)

My husband likes that I blog! He likes the reviews I get! He is mentioned here a lot! :-)

So, what do my family and (some) friends think...They don't care!! And I like it that way!

June Sponsors!!

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Thu, 31 May 2012 00:20:00 +0000

Late night/Early morning post...

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Sat, 26 May 2012 05:28:00 +0000

I'm sitting, well laying here on the couch....Scott got my cold that is going away and frankly, I don't want to sleep with him when he is sick...

I'm on vacation starting yesterday at 4:30!! I'm so excited! I need some time away from there!!

I had a Pure Romance party at my house tonight!! I wasn't the one that planned it all, just the one that had the place where we could have it at!! It was actually pretty fun, minus some parts of it! Some people just make me so angry and piss me off with some things!!

Scott and I are heading to the UP Sunday morning and will be back Wednesday afternoon! I'm so excited to take this trip! We don't have much planned at all! Just a laid back couple of days!

Tomorrow (well today) I have to get up early because the girl I work with that is getting married next year, will be here at 10 to pick me up (along with the other bridesmaids) to head downstate to look at dresses....

I'm SO grateful with the friendships that I have right now! I haven't been this good of friends with someone in a long time and these girls are the best!! One is my friend from Lansing! and the other is another girl I work with!! They are the type of people that I need to surround myself with more and just get rid of the drama that comes with some "friends"!!!

But I will leave you with a couple pictures!

Sex toy party

Me and Monica Me and Rebecca

My cute baby!

I saw this on a blog (I think it was Mackey Madness)... So I thought I would steal some questions from her and add a few of my own! :-)

But let me tell you about how it all went down! Scott and I are sitting in the living room on our laptops...I send him an email with the questions in it, with the subject line that says "answer these biotch, so I can post them on my blog" :-)

Then this was our conversation:

Me: I sent you an email. Go read it

Scott: Is it a Dear John letter

Me: hahahaha!

of course it wasn't, but it was just funny!!

So I'm doing it again, but this time for June I'm not charging! So if you would like to be 'pimped' out on Life With The D's just shoot me an email to ktdietrich@yahoo.com will a little blurb about you or your business!!! Make sure you send along a button code, so I can place it on my sidebar! If you don't send a little blurb, I'll make stuff up! ;-)

I know I won't get many (I'll be surprised if I get one) but I'm offering up to 8 spots!! So, send them on over!! ;-)

Randoms...

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Wed, 16 May 2012 00:57:00 +0000

**Scott has been back since Thursday! He went to work last week for a couple days, then came back home. What he will be working now is three days a week every other week...Yeah, it sucks, but it's going to save us some money with gas, it keeps something current on his resume, and he can keep looking for another job...I'm excited he's back! I missed him so much! It was nuts! My 9 year anniversary at work is tomorrow...Yup, I have been there for nine years!! NUTS!!!

**I have 748 followers on my blog and think maybe 2 of ya'll read my blog...That's OK...at least I have some ladies that listen to me...

**I thought about being done with blogging! I don't have it in me anymore! I'm so sick of the petty bull crap and cliques that go around her! I have lost a lot of respect for some bloggers! I have other things to worry about and frankly blogging wasn't one of them! But, I will stay! I can't say I will post everyday (I'm going to try), I can't say I will even post once a week, but I will still be here!!

**I really need to let something go and it PISSES me off that I even care so much, when I was the one that was hurt!

**Even though I completely FAILED at the 30 days with regular posts (some didn't post because the scheduled thing sucks!) I'm going to finish it! I will still do the posts with the exception of one (My story). But I have a couple reviews and giveaways that I need to do as well...

**Speaking of not writing "my story", I have decided to not do that on this blog...I will keep that for my private blog. I still see some people that read this blog, that I don't really care to share the information with, so I will post it where I can keep it private! If you follow that blog, remember that the posts don't show up in the news feed, so you have to go to the blog address. If you don't follow and want an invite, please email me ktdietrich@yahoo.com If I don't invite you, please don't be mad...I really have to filter who I let read and who I don't let read.

**I made the most yummiest dessert last night!! I was impressed!! I got it from Pinterest!!

**KBCC sales are going, but not as great as I would like them to be! I'm going to bust my ass to get a bunch of products done, so I can attend a bunch of flea markets and craft shows!!

**Is anyone interested in having a giveaway on their blog for a necklace, braclet, or key cahin for KBCC? Let me know!! :-)

Thank you all for reading my rambles!

**I know I haven't posted many pictures lately, but that's only because I'm not sure if I want to be posting many here anymore! Maybe I'll just do it! But I'll make sure I copyright them!

Pet Peeves

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Wed, 16 May 2012 00:32:00 +0000

(I know, I know...I have been slacking!! The 30 days is up, but I'm continuing with the list and yes, there will be some reviews and giveaways! Hey, I stuck with not posting any for 30 days! :-))

I have SO many of them and my patience is usually tested daily!

But off the top of my head I cannot stand...

~Hypocrites! UGH!! These are the worst! I have seen so many people bitch about others, yet have witnessed them do or say the same thing! I know no one is perfect, but if you continue to bitch about things and then do it yourself, you should be smacked in the head...hard! I continually see someone bitch about people not doing their job, but have witnessed people not do a damn thing!

~People who think they are better than others! Yes, God made us all differently and he did it for a reason, but to think you are better than someone, you are sadly mistaken! Just because you have a lavish life style, you have money where you can spend on anything you want, you have a roof over your head and food on your table, does NOT make you better than someone that is poor or is living on the street! Some of those people that are living on the streets probably have more love for people and things then people who are handed everything!

~Grammar Nazi's!! I get it! I have a hard time reading stuff that has a ton of errors on it. Things that have poor grammar and puncuation, but for someone to sit there an complain about these issues is ridiculous! I have made many comments about people using the wrong too, to, two or their, they're, there, but come on people get over it! If you cannot stand to read things that have poor grammar click the red X...I am in no way perfect with spelling or grammar hell, I'm sure there are TONS of errors in this post, but guess what...You can read it, right?

~People who have no respect for others! Enough said!

~Cliques- I CANNOT stand cliques! We are not in high school or junior high anymore! Get over yourself! The cliques on the blog world are the worse! My god!!

I think that's all I can think of right now...I have tons more! But we will leave that for another day!! :-)

I'm really sucking at this whole 30 days of posting!! Thank goodness Madeline is sticking with it!! :-)

The main reason I'm sucking with it, is because Blogger HATES me and will NOT post scheduled posts for me!! UGH!!

Have you joined in?
This is my first favorite color swap! I'm super excited!
I joined in with Mamarazzi's favorite things swap and had so much fun!!
So, head over there and enter!!

I am most proud of!!

noreply@blogger.com (Katie) — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 21:43:00 +0000

What am I most proud of?

The fact that I have held a job for the last 9 years, I'm married to the most amazing man, and that I'm actually sticking with school (for now)

I hate school! I would very much love to get a degree out of going to school, but I know that I will not finish it. It would be cool if I could stick with it, but right now, the only reason I'm staying in school is because I cannot afford to pay back my student loans.

I love that I married an amazing man at such a young age! People who get married at such a young age, don't typically stay together. But for Scott and I, there is no end to this marriage ever! I have never been so happy in my life. I don't know what I would do without him!

Holding a job for 9 years is pretty amazing! I started when I was 18 years old!

What are you most proud of?
