Things That Make My Life Better...



Erin Condren Life Planner


I just received her last night and she has already changed my life.
*I will be doing a review on Eric C vs. Lilly P soon.
**Yes, that is my middle name.



Twitter
{No one said this list was going to be concrete things...}


I know what you're all thinking...
"...that Katie, such an A list celeb"
Pah-lease, I'm flattered, but I assure you I'm not that cool.

Sure, he's from the Bachelorette, but I still count this as moving on up in my book.
If you missed Part 1 of this where he tweeted me the 1st time--Michael Stagliano is coming to Columbus Jan. 7th for an acoustic show and my girlfriends and I WILL be there as the doors open. #Truth.

*What he is referring to by "more than a hug" is that he said he may "sing"le some of his fans out at his performance. If this happens-expect a blog post about me fainting in public.
**Billy thinks this is so silly. what does he know?!


Blogging friends
ie: group chats
my real life friends becoming friends with my blogging friends
and blogging in general.








the bloggah's in these chats:
Erica
Steph
Kristin
                             Jess {currently MIA}


I mean, who wouldn't want to be involved in chats like that everyday?!
I may have said it before (meaning I've said it at least 20 times), but blogging is pretty much the greatest thing ever. I love all the friendships I've formed in the past year!

Even better than that??
My girlfriends who I grew up with meeting my blogger friends
and all of us hanging out together...like tonight for Alicia's Ugly Sweater Christmas party...can't wait.



I ask you, what little things have made YOU smile lately?
-other, more obvious things, not in this list that make me smile include: my hubby. pup. warm socks. extra hot starbucks skinny peppermint mochas. stripes. sunshine.


*stay tuned to see Billy and I's "not so ugly" sweaters...

**KC&CO has a facebook page! "Like" it to stay updated easier & to see pictures I post!

***Hurry up and go enter Beth's giveaway! You'll love it. Since I may not be posting tomorrow or Sunday morning, here's the line up for 12 Days of Blogger Christmas over the weekend: Saturday - Erica @ Young and Fabulous, Sunday - Shayln @ So Shay!

    oh michael stag. i think i just love that he called you "katie." speaking of michael, i have a friend that is BFF'S with blake and holly since they live in Greenville in all. i have yet to meet them to make my own judgement. and who doesn't love a good blogger meet-up. i say we pick a weekend and a place (vegas perhaps) where we have a HUGE blogger meet up!

    amen. Group chat makes errrrrthing better!!! (And KEEEEEEELS my cell phone battery but hey...NBD.)

    Tell Mild Bill your obsession with MSTAG is totally acceptable. HELLO??? He IS a mini-celeb. Who invited you to his concert and possibly his bedroom. That's a BIG deal.

    PLEASE let me know what you honestly think about the EC planner. I've been holding out on getting one because I just don't know about it yet.

    Calling you Eileen from here on out. Done and done.

    Oh man. I love Michael stagliano. I was so thrilled when Emily Maynard and Tenley tweeted me happy birthday! I think it shows a lot about them when they take the time to respond to people :)

    And I would die if he sang to me! wahhh.

    Oh. My. Gosh. I am dying. One of my girlfriends and I have been obsessed with Michael Stag since he was on the bachelorette. We may or may not have been stalking his life and friended him and holly on fb (before the whole messy break up) just so we could better stalk. I am so jealous you a.) are going to his show and b.) have had TWO tweets from him..he is an A list celeb to me :)


    Can't wait to hear all about the concert!

    I love Michael Stagliano! The girl who left him on Bachelor pad is crazy. I also love my Erin Condren planner.

    Little things that have made me happy lately are Christmas ornament stamps, Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal, and glittery nail polish (that is a beast to remove).

    Ha, when I saw that tweet to Michael and his response I thought for sure you two knew each other on a personal level... like you two went waaaaayyyy back or something. In which case, I would be jealous because out of all the crazies on that damn show, I liked him the best :)

    I have been hearing a lot about these planners! Are they worth the $50 bucks though?!

    and two, I LOVE group blogger chats. The one I have been on has lasted for seriously like two weeks now, but I love it!

    Once I FINALLY started using my iPhone calendar...a "paper" planner has become so tedious to me. I bought a Lilly this past year and have just barely used it. It's been sitting on my desk at work for months. As for the group chats--I'm scared to update my iPhone. My hubs did and lost all his contacts so I'm hesitant!!!!

    so guess what.......... we have the same middle name.

    I don't think I have EVER met anyone with that middle name! I thought it was one of a kind! how do you pronounce yours? I say it "I-Lean" :)

    so cool!

    I got the Life Planner a couple months ago and since then I think five of my friends have. It's seriously incredible. Who doesn't love colored stickers? I want to plan a trip to Vegas just so I can use that sticker.
