World Wide Kate

Worst. Blogger. Ever.

I know I know!  How could someone be so good at posting almost everyday while traveling and then get home with a job that involves sitting in front of a computer for at least 5 hours a day and never post a thing?

I’ll tell you how.  If I wrote about this sedentary lifestyle, you, my loyal readers, would be disappointed and maybe a little ashamed.  Man, I used to be cool… Like 7 months ago.  What happened?!

OKAY soooo I’ll give you a quick rundown of my life.

Weekend after Easter- went to Panama City with my sorority sisters Jenna, Lauren, and Lindsay (and Lauren Whidden, Liz and Sam but they are still in college so they don’t really count!). I was going to post the pictures of the shenanigans that took place there but then Peter told me his parents found my website and seeing as I had not met them yet I thought it would be a poor decision on my part.  Mom agreed.

I went horseback riding on April 26 in Conyers at Meneely Show Horses (where I rode consistently from age 7-18..). I was in pain for about 3 days but I plan to do it again soon!  The problem with work is that it goes on till 5:30 and by then I can’t make the 45 minute drive to the barn so I can only ride on weekends and lately I’ve been out of town!

My tennis team made it to the play-offs!  I only won one match all season (playing with Katie Pendergrass!) but I had a really good time and if Katie invites me to play again next year I will most definitely be up for it. 

My sorority sisters Jenna, Lauren, Lindsay and Casey (Lauren’s cousin) came to Atlanta the weekend of May 1.  Somehow I managed not to drink the entire weekend.  I think everyone should pat me on the back for this. Or maybe I should get smacked.  I know upon reading this some of you are frowning.

I spend Sunday, Monday and Tuesday afternoons working at the bakery.  I am kind of obsessed with my job and the people there.  They think I’m pretty weird. I can call my boss a crackhead and he just laughs so you can imagine it’s an entertaining place to work.  Plus, we make the best bread in the world. It’s literally amazing.  If you are ever in town and need bread just holler. Added bonus, my friend Andrea (who you remember from my time in England) is coming to work with me once she graduates this summer! 

I spend Monday mornings, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at The Wyche Group.  I felt really really lost for a month or so (as I did at the bakery) but I think I’ve finally hit my stride and I understand what’s going on.  I’ve learned a lot about running a small business and how seemingly simple tasks (like going through certification processes) are actually a job in themselves. All I can say is that when you graduate with a degree in PR you think you know what it’s going to be like but really you have no idea.

Last weekend I went to Wastersound Beach with Peter and his family (minus his sister who lives in DC) for a 1/2 Ironman in Panama City that both he and his dad, Rob, were competing in.  So now I’ve met the family and it was a much less scary situation than I had built up in my head (Me? Build things up in my head?Never…).  Super nice. Never awkward. Good times.  I got Peter an air-brushed towel with his name, race number and a sweet graphic of the triathlon components within “2009″.  It’s awesome.  Oh, and we played putt-putt.. I don’t think I lost as badly as when we played the same course over New Years but I still lost…  Badly.

Thinking of which, I’m choosing skills that I want to become incredible at (in secret of course) so one day when that skill comes up in conversation I can be like “Oh I can do that” and then be amazing.  Suggestions welcome.

My trivia team still kicks butt when people show up on Tuesdays.  Mom, Dad, Peter and I won at NY Pizza Exchange in Vinings last night which was an unexpected treat.

I’ve been making a ton of pies. 

60 days till I go to EUROPE! Wooooooooooo!
