Why hello blog, it's been awhile.

I was bored tonight. Figured I would check in on my blog and see if I had gotten an visitors from Russia recently and find out which post was the most popular. And BIG surprise! We have a new #1 post! Luckily I grew into my large forehead has passed up Katie's ultimate list of the best couples ever! With a resounding 352 pageviews to 196. I'm glad I can help others know they're not alone in the struggle. In case you were wondering, I don't have bangs at all now and have decided again that they're more trouble than they're worth. But, I've also been watching Gilmore Girls again (hallelujah Netflix!), so maybe after watching hours of Rory's amazing hair I'll change my mind again.

I also decided that my blog needed a redesign. Hence the redesign. I think blogger has added some new fonts to their blog settings. Or maybe my taste has changed in the past three years (no duh Katie). Anyways, I'm digging the new vibe.

I think it's fitting that with my return to this blog, however brief it may be, I include an Anne of Green Gables quote. This is one of my favorites, as is the month of October. It's just such a fun time of year.


See you again in another three years!

Duck Sauce

Have you heard the song Barbara Streisand by Duck Sauce? Well, just in case you haven't, listen to it here because the rest of this post will make a lot more sense if you've heard it.


So, when I was home in June this song came on the radio when I was driving with my Dad in his Mustang with the top down. As soon as it starts playing my Dad says, "I love this song!" and turns the radio up super loud. At which point I turn the radio down because I thought it was too loud and then we went back and forth for a little bit with me turning the radio down and him turning it up, opposite of almost every other father/daughter relationship in the world.
Moral of the story, my Dad loves the song Barbara Streisand by Duck Sauce.

This morning Brooke showed me this awesome website where you can listen to the song, but change the name... It lets you change the song so that instead of saying Barbara Streisand it says any name you want!

Needless to say I put my own name in it and laughed like a little girl every time the song said my name. And then I put my Dad's name in and emailed it to him.

I really wish there was a way I could post it here, and maybe there is, but I'm not technologically savy enough to figure it out. But, in any case, here is the link to the website.


Check it out, it'll make your day.

I'm back!!! And I've brought two lists!

After a very prolonged absence I am making a return. Just like the Fall TV shows!

The return of all my favorite shows and the premiere of new ones (more on this in a bit) aren't the only reasons Fall is my favorite season. So to celebrate my return here's a list...

Katie's List of Why Fall is the Best Season
  1. The return of awesome TV shows
  2. It starts to get colder
  3. The beautiful colors
  4. Leaves changing colors
  5. Pumpkin everything
  6. It's not so hot
  7. Cardigans
  8. Boots
  9. Everyone else is in school and can't go to Seven Peaks while I'm at work
  10. Annual caramel apple making
  11. The smell of the crisp air
  12. Th good smelling Autumn soap Brooke always gets
  13. It's getting close to Thanksgiving when I get to go home and visit
  14. Halloween and free candy/half off post-Halloween candy sales
  15. My birthday!

Ok, now that I've taken care of the list of things I love about Fall, I will now compile my list of why I'm excited about Fall TV.

Chuck
I love Chuck! I'm so sad this is the last season and that it's not starting until the end of October, but I think it promises to be a hilarious one. If my sister's had finished watching the season, I would be able to say why I think it will be hilarious, but they didn't so I'll just leave it at THIS SEASON IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!

Bones
Again, I love Bones! Last season ended big and I've been waiting all summer to see what will happen.

Vampire Diaries
Ahh, my guilty pleasure... I don't know why I like this show, but I do. I don't know why I'm excited, but I am.

Psych
The new comer. I just recently watched the first 4 seasons of Psych on Netflix and I am a couple episodes into season 5 on Hulu, and it is freaking hilarious. And to make it better they're going to mention BYU in one of the episodes of season 6 because BYU smashed every other college out of the competition. Hopefully I'll be able to finish season 5 before season 6 starts, but if not oh well, I still love this show and eventually season 5 will be on Netflix.

New Girl
This one looks really funny and I think Zooey Deschanel is a crack up.

Pan Am
Maybe it's just the fact that this is fairly historical or that I am loving the ladylike clothes of the 60s right now, but I'm super excited for this one.

Hart of Dixie
What is with my obsession with cop and doctor shows? I really don't know, but this one looks promising.

The Secret Circle
Again, another one of my downfalls, drama filled, cheesy teenage shows (Vampire Diaries anyone?). Plus, it's got the girl from H20: Just Add Water in it, so huge plus right there.

Once Upon a Time
I'm already loving this one. And who wouldn't, it's about fairy tales in the modern day and it's from the same people who did Lost.

Community
I also want to start watching Community. I saw the paintball episode last season, and now it's just a matter of time before I'm hooked.

Oh boy. That's a lot of shows. It's going to be a busy year.
