Cranberries!!!!!!

I am making CRANBERRY SAUCE for Thanksgiving! Yup that's right I am going to cook something! I am so excited because nobody ever wants it and so mom just buys the crappy canned stuff. GROSS!

I found an awesome recipe and will start it tomorrow in preparation for our great feast!

The Kat is Back

Katrina came home on Thursday...unfortunately!

I can only type that because she's right here annoying the crap out of me and stealing my clothes as I type this! Thankfully she WILL have to go back to Greenville soon!

Tonight we went to see Morning Glory with Harrison Ford (ah so sexy) and Rachel Adams (delightfully upbeat)---not sure what this is supposed to mean but I thought since I commented on Harrison that I should on Rachel too! Good movie...can't say it's the best but I'd buy it.

We also went to Washington Court House to see my friend Tiffani and her son Gabey (actual name: James Gabriel----Katrina was getting confused). That was a lot of fun; talking, shopping, laughter...fun!

I got to play around on the delay pedal I borrowed from my friend for my guitar. I actually found out I needed an echo pedal. Fortunately this 'delay pedal' was actually quite a few different pedals in one and there is an echo on it. This is my first experience playing the electric guitar... my repertoire of guitar playing consists only of rhythm guitar on the acoustic so I have had fun figuring out the lead for a song Katrina and I will debut on the 28th of November at church.

I also met with our new Youth Director and another young adult (the two of us will be mentors for the high school youth). We shared ideas and overall it was a great meeting and I am really excited to start up our new and improved youth program. I think that if our church has any hope of surviving we need to grow and I think that growth is probably going to start with the youth. We'll see where God takes us because at this moment, He is the only one that can save Cornerstone (please pray).

Conan O'Brien started his new show on TBS airing at 11pm eastern time (he will be paying me for that promo). If you have not seen it yet...you NEED to! He is hilarious! I am so happy he got another job even if it is just basic cable and it isn't network television. Conan you are a genius and I love you and would totally marry you if you weren't already hitched!

Well I think that is all for now I'm tired and have church in the morning! Love you and God Bless!

F Y I ............ (there it is!)

I am a single 22 year old female.


Which apparently means that my life is useless.


I am a nobody.


Why? You ask.


Because I am a SINGLE 22 year old female.


Without a man in my life I am useless and apparently searching for one!


Or this seems to be what the whole world thinks. Any time there is a young adult male in the midst of all my single glory he is pegged as my future husband. Somebody nudges me, "look Kari you should ask him out" or they summon me to a seat nearest the eligible bachelor so I can stir things up and we can fall in love and live happily ever after, instead of the sad single alternative. No seriously I am not lying!!!!!!

So for all the people out there who think that I am sad and desperate for male affection....I am NOT!


And for all the people out there who think it is their job to find me a husband....It is NOT!


Right now I am NOT looking for a boyfriend. I am NOT lonely. I am NOT desparado!!! I actually am praying that God will hold off for right now. I really want to be a travel nurse in the Labor and Delivery field and I really want to do it without anything tying me down. When the time is right I know God will provide me with the right guy. And if there is never a right time and I have to be single forever....I WILL BE OKAY!














Just thought you'd like to know..... :)

Beautiful

Pinelavenilladeath

My car has quite a history. When I bought the ugly thing, it smelled like somebody took a bottle of Pinesol and just dumped it everywhere. It smells like death covered by Pinesol, seriously ask anyone who has had to endure a ride in it. I made up a car fax for it because I think it's something my car's stench deserves...it's the only way I can feel better about it because I know for sure the smell is not due to me.

Once upon a time, there was a guy named Jerry who owned a Forest green 1999 Ford Escort SE. Jerry was a weirdoooooo... Like seriously a mental guy. One night Jerry got really mad at his girlfriend and he ended up killing her! Woops, it's not like he meant to....it just happened. Jerry decided to take her to the lake to dump her body so he packed her up in his area rug and threw her into the trunk of his escort. As he finished cleaning up his mess, his friend came over and they got high and Jerry forgot about his dead girlfriend in his trunk. Weeks later the police pulled Jerry over for suspicious behavior and found his dead girl in the trunk. Jerry went to jail. Girlfriend was buried. Escort was smelly. So the police bought a couple of bottles of Pinesol and went to work trying to expell the smell of dead person. Then the Police sold the escort to Gville car lot and Kari Lopez buys the Escort from them. The end.

So I bought a new air freshener for my car from Bath and Body Works like a month ago maybe. Well I finally put it in my car yesterday. The air freshener is Lavender Vanilla, smells amazing. However, upon entering my car it now smells like death covered by pinesol, covered by Lavender Vanilla. I renamed the scent to Pinelavenilladeath!

Sadness, my car will never smell good.

Anyway that's all I had to share! Thanks for reading!
