Everyday Excitement: November 2011
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. The World Cup Series : Pre-Game. I procrastinated all of my International Bachlaurette projects in high. School, all my Christmas shopping last year, and now packing for the. World Cup. As I sat overwhelmed in my apartment amongst boxes stacked. Four feet high over flowing with Team USA merch, I kept telling myself. It just hasn't hit yet that I'm going to a world changing event. Even. As I rolled a tad over 100 t-shirts and somehow stuffed them into two. A toque (Canadian f...

Everyday Excitement: In Some Strange House
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2011/11/yesterday-casper-finally-recieved-its.html
Saturday, November 19, 2011. In Some Strange House. Yesterday Casper finally recieved it's first good dusting of snow. which turned into a blizzard. But that couldn't keep me from attending the annual Wyoming Symphony Orchestra's Christmas house tour. As you can tell this fella was over joyed at the snow. Folks decorated their downtown mansions to represent Christmas Past, Present, and Future as well as our first stop, Scrooge's House. I tried to get Bryan to move this sign to the lawn of the house next ...

Everyday Excitement: I Need An Adventurer...
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-need-adventurer.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. I Need An Adventurer. Okay this is kind of awkward to admit, but I don't know Wyoming at all. My mother birthed me here, my parents raised me in two houses (we upgraded when the third and final sibling came along) both built here, and I've learned most everything I know from this place. Still I've never explored it. For example, ahem. I have never been to Yellowstone National Park. Please, please, silence your gasps. So this is my appeal to you, who's with me? Give me suggestio...

Everyday Excitement: June 2010
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Here are some things I've accomplished/ learned this year:. Ramen noodles are adult cracker jacks, the reward is simply a packet of sodium instead. In contrast to the above statement, I started eating a diet that requires me to only shop on the outer rim of the grocery store, and I have never felt better! I acquired both a land and sea passport and an international passport. I officially went to two foreign countries without creating an international incident. Wrote two screenpl...

Everyday Excitement: February 2010
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. Canada - Day 4. It feels like that was so long ago. The Vancouver Aquarium was our main objective for that day. We saw parrots, some dolphins, beluga whales, iddy bitty jellyfish, and the most attractive attraction I've yet to find at a zoo. A quick stop in the North America's second largest Chinatown (the first being in San Fransisco) for my favorite Chinese dish of pork potstickers dipped in vinegar and soy sauce, and we were headed home. but not without a minor detour.

Everyday Excitement: The Slammy's
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2011/11/slammys.html
Friday, November 4, 2011. Wow I have officially survived my first year of derby. What a crazy fun, rewarding, and frustrating year that has been. The best way to top it off? The annual awards banquet. Last year I joined the Casper league. We adopted the Slammy's (clever derby play-on words of the Grammy's ;) for a theme and raided the local stores of any attire that would match. In the end we all dressed to kill. The slideshow soon ended and the award presentation began. Every derby girl bought a gif...

Everyday Excitement: Adventurous Reading
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/p/adventurous-reading.html
To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries. A C Grayling, Financial Times (in a review of A History of Reading by Alberto Manguel). To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company. A capacity and taste for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. What are you reading?

Everyday Excitement: April 2010
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 14, 2010. April Showers bring May Horrors. Ahhhh spring. The time has finally come for Wyomingites everywhere to shake off the suffering of cabin fever and dig out those flip flops hidden beneath all the carharts in the back of the closet. Before everyone goes gung-ho though, I must for my own sanity share a few insights I've recently had. Let's begin with Uncle Lester. You know those things you call legs, the appendages that resemble the clammy, white, underside of a fish? After survivi...

Everyday Excitement: What's in a Number?
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2011/11/whats-in-number.html
Thursday, November 24, 2011. What's in a Number? One frequently asked question (FAQ if you will) a derby player hears: "So why'd you pick that to be your number? Some are obvious like 420 ;D, some less obvious like 122, a beloved child's birth date. My number 1112 falls into the less obvious category. Don't worry baby birds, I'll feed you the story behind it. I met Tim, a solo singer/songwriter, during my stint as a concert promoter; he toured with my good buddies in a band called Paper Mache. You could ...

Everyday Excitement: Silly kids, Halloween's for adults too!
http://adventuresofkatiemae.blogspot.com/2011/11/silly-kids-halloweens-for-adults-too.html
Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Silly kids, Halloween's for adults too! Lilly insisted on a zombie costume which meant my theatre degree skills would finally come in handy. An hour later as the coagulated, fake blood was drying, I threw a cupcake costume over my head and coated myself in glitter. We were a match made in heaven. Although we almost had our cover blown at one house when a lady spotted a tattoo on Lilly's inner bicep. OLD LADY: "What's that under your arm there? Lilly and I, being the ripe age of...
