I tried to think of something clever to name this

But all that came to mind was "21 Questions" by 50 Cent

And there's only 10 questions

And "I love you like a fat kid loves cake" isn't appropriate either

So take Erin's lead and answer these questions for yourself!

1. If you could do one thing differently in your life, what would it be?

If I could do anything differently I would have studied abroad. Considering there were a few summers I just worked for my dad (and not in the glamorous internship at daddy's company kind of way) I could have spared a summer for some good old fashion learning... in Italy or Spain or Greece or all of the above.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I really hope to be in a good career by then. And a millionaire... but seriously I'd like to own a home and have a good job and live with my cats again. 

3. Do you honestly want kids?

Mostly I do. Some days I worry that I will ruin my kids but other days I can't imagine a future without that kind of family. I definitely don't want them anytime soon (read job and house above) but one day it would be nice to have children with 2 legs (not just 4). 

4. What has been the best moment of your life so far?

It's hard to say there was one best moment. I've had some great moments in my life. There was a concert I went to with a group of friends in high school and we were there dancing and it was raining and the artist sang about rain and it was cool. And I was carefree and happy. Getting to keep my kittens ranks up there too along with getting engaged. 

5. What is your life theme song?

I think my theme song would be "Stop This Train" by John Mayer. I'm a huge fan of John and I sometimes feel like I don't want to grow up. "I'm only good at being young"... but I also understand that stopping the train would not be a better choice.

6. What is one thing you have yet to accomplish that you want to do before you die?

I want to visit Europe again, specifically Italy. I just want to see things outside of the United States. I love traveling!

7. If you could choose one thing to be known for, what would it be?

I want to be known for being kind to people and not judgmental. I want people to think of me as a good person.

8. If you could do anything you wanted right in this very moment (no consequences, no fear, etc), what would it be?

I would love to be a lot of things. A Disney Imagineer, An interior designer, a wedding planner, a millionaire's wife/ stay at home kitten mom...

9. What has been the most challenging moment in your life?

There was a time in my life when I realized how important my dad's money was to him. When I realized that sometimes it was more important to him than our relationship. And I don't mean "Daddy won't buy me the new convertible Lexus" I mean I went to college and the cost of supporting me went up and our relationship was never the same because he was so resentful (even though its something he freely offered and could EASILY afford without a change in a standard of living). It's only just now getting back to pre-college level... which is not surprising considering I was completely cut off as soon as I graduated in December.

10. Summarize yourself in one word.

Eclectic. 

That's about all the blogging I can do for the day.

Gotta get back to pretending I care about final exams!

My mom...

I could probably right a book about all of her shenanigans

And the things she says.

This particular conversation started yesterday

I went to my research lab and no one was there and the door was locked

I checked my email to see if lab was canceled

And instead there was an email from my photographer 

saying my purchasing site was available...

Meaning I would FINALLY be able to see all of my photos

(I say finally with a grain of salt, it took him less than 2 weeks to edit and post them).

So of course I called my mom.

She is insistent that I HAVE to have a bridal portrait at my wedding

So I thought I'd let her know she could pick one out

She had other plans...

"Kasi I am so busy you need to quit calling me"

"But mom I have something important to tell you about my -"

"I am trying to walk on the treadmill and you already made me miss the part where I was supposed to speed up"

"Okay but I got an email from -"

"Seriously if this isn't important I have to go"

"Okay, fine, bye."

I had decided I wouldn't tell her until she made time out of her "busy schedule"...

She called me this morning to ask me how to attach a file into an email.

After that horrible situation went down I casually mentioned

Me: "Bob sent me the email with the rest of my pictures"

Mom: "Oh did you send me the link?"

Me: "No. I tried to call you about it yesterday but you were too busy to talk to me"

Mom: "Well not everything can be about you"

Me: "This is about you viewing the pictures... because you asked me to see them..."

....

While viewing the pictures:

Mom: "That one's okay... oh I like that one... your hair looks greasy... I don't like that one, your ear sticks out too much... I wish the hairdresser had done something different with your hair so you couldn't see your ears so much... I like this one its a good one of your face, I like your face... That looks stupid... your boobs are falling... you need to pull up your boobs..."

Half of this was also said during the shoot so I made faces like this:

I'd hate to see what the reject pictures from my shoot look like...

Tune in next time for more motivation mom talk in a new special: 

how NOT to talk to your child if you want them to have any self esteem left...

Well it's that time of the week again lovelies.

The time where we link up with A Blonde Ambition

And confess!

{1}

I confess that I put on my workout clothes Wednesday and actually worked out

 and I am STILL SORE

I ran all of a half mile downhill, and maybe a third of the way back.

And I feel like I got hit by a train.

It might be time to hit the gym more consistently.

{2}

I confess that even though we are on a budget

I had no choice but to go to target and get a new shirt.

Okay two new shirts.

Okay two new shirts and a pair of yoga pants.

In my defense I tore my last pair of yoga pants looking for Robert's tennis ball in a bush.

No pun intended.

I have no excuse for the shirts... or my inappropriate comments. 

{3}

I confess...some of my friends are getting to that age where they are considering the "B word".

Not only am I not ready to have a baby

I am still not to the point I even like them yet.

The only thing appealing about them right now

Is that all of their clothes and shoes are miniature.

Honestly, I'm just not in a place where having a baby would be a good thing.

But kudos to all of you that are!

{4}

I confess that my diet has been crap.

I had swiss cake rolls and chocolate milk yesterday

And two dinners tonight complete with a fruit bar for dessert.

And two of my meals today pre dinner(s) consisted mostly of Nutella.

It's absolutely shameful

Hope ya'll enjoyed your confessing!

I really loved reading Erin and Whitney's answers

(wouldn't mind stealing a few)

So head over there and link up :)

When I grow up...

I'm going to be Belle in Disney world.

Everything I own will have a monogram on it.

I'm going to marry this guy :)

I will sleep in this bed every night

Next to this closet

With this library

And this view 

And every day I will roll around in my millions

And have a second home for all my cats

and a closet specifically for all my lilly pulitzer clothing

And they all lived happily ever after

So it hit me Tuesday in class

That I only have 2 weeks of class left

And then half a week of final exams

This includes (but is not limited to surprises from my teachers):

-2 lab reports (harder than it sounds)

-Chemical Engineering Quiz

-Chemical Engineering extra credit paper

-Chemical Engineering Final paper

-Chemical Engineering Final presentation

-Paper & Presentation of chimeric genes used in biomedical field 

-Book report on book I haven't started (due monday)

-Facility Audit final report

-Global Affairs Final

-Advanced Biocatalysis and biomanufacturing final

And because of all I have to do I've been on Pinterest... naturally

And through Pinterest I found this blog post

which talks about what a bride would change about her wedding if she could

And through that I found this article called:

"It Happened to Me: I Married Young and I'm Ashamed of it"

Let me say this article ruffled my feathers a little.

This girl who claims to be a "child bride"

was 22 when she got married- hardly child bride material.

She got married willingly.

She married some one she loved.

And yet she completely bashes the idea of marriage- at any age- but especially young.

"Marriage to me is a hangdog word of household drudgery and sexual captivity or the first chapter of divorce. It is also supposedly sacred to conservatives and all things the right wing holds holy -- school prayer, sexual ignorance, tyranny over ovaries -- I don’t want anything to do with it. That notion of marriage is far too serious, weighing down relationships with a religious and legal burden of “specialness.”"

First off, what does a marriage have to do with tyranny over ovaries?

My fiancé is currently working as hard as he can so I can continue to get my Masters.

And I do have a KitchenAid mixer I love

Does that make me a bad person?

Apparently according to Lauren it does.

Secondly, I am the queen of supporting other peoples ability to choose their beliefs.

You can do whatever you want and believe whatever you want and it doesn't bother me

Until you use your beliefs or my beliefs as a weapon.

You will rarely hear me state my beliefs on religious or political issues

Because I don't think it's anyone's business

and I don't pick my friends based on this.

But this girl is incredibly ignorant to say these things about conservatives.

Last time I checked, democrats get married too. 

And they also think their vows have importance

And theres a good chance they registered too!

(this part makes more sense if you read the article)

Getting married is a choice you make.

It's also something she has the audacity to claim she's ashamed of

When there are still people out there FIGHTING for that right.

Now if homegirl seems to be this against it she might want to rethink her actions.

It seems to me that she had this idea of being a feminist in her head

And her reality didn't match that

And now she's so worried about what everyone else thinks

She can't just be happy she found some one to be with at such a young age.

Did I think I would be married at 23? No.

I thought I would never be married.

Until I found a boy I loved, who loved me unconditionally

And every day I'm grateful for what I have.

Shame on you, Lauren. 

Do what you want with your marriage

Leave everyone else's marriage out of it.

I SAID GOOD DAY!

So one of the styles that is in right now is Chambray

I think they call it Chambray because jean shirt doesn't sound as fancy

But it's essentially a jean shirt or jean colored shirt

Which brings me to one of my pet peeves...

If its a jean shirt why do people insist on wearing it with jeans?

THIS is not cute.

It looks like the 90s came back

But at least in the 90s the jean matched.

There are actually some pretty big name offenders too:

Reese Witherspoon... why?

And I'm not really sure why its worn this way

When a jean shirt leaves so many options for pants!

Black pants, leggings, colored pants...

White pants:

And my all time favorite Print Pants:

I mean why limit yourself to jean on jean when there are so many other amazing options...

WHY?

Don't do drugs

and don't wear mix matched jean shirts "chambray"with jeans.

The end

I confess I feel like the worst friend in the world. My BFF and MOH is trying on wedding dresses this weekend and I had to tell her I couldn't go because between being home and the weekend before last where I completely ditched Robert to hang out with her I haven't hung out with Robert in a billion years. Do I win the worst person in the world award?

{4}

I confess with my awkward night schedules and tons of homework I've had going on this week I haven't put a bra on before lunch in a week. And usually not after that either. I was almost late to class at 1 because I couldn't get ready in time. Sad.

{5}

I confess that for the first time in our 6 year history I kind of had a small disagreement with Roberts mom. Most wouldn't even consider it an issue. Some probably wouldn't have noticed that it even happened. But we don't disagree. We have similar tastes. We are both careful to make sure the other one is happy. Totes not normal daughter in law- mother in law relationship. Basically I wanted to hang the curtains for the wedding one way and she thought they would look better another (Once the wedding takes place you will see what I mean). But every time I tried to say I didn't really like her way she would just say that I need to see it large scale. No I don't. I don't like it. See- not a real disagreement. Anyways at least for me I've felt super awkward ever sense. Ugh.

{6}

I confess that I haven't been as productive as I should have been because I also rediscovered One Tree Hill on Netflix. I quit watching OTH after Peyton and Lucas left because I thought I couldn't love it the same. But I do. Netflix will probably ruin me!

{8}

I confess I have a final, problem session, presentation on a book (I haven't read), and a quiz next week and I'm on here instead. Yikes. That's no way to get ahead! So with that I end my confessional!

Hopefully I'll post again before another week or two goes by!
