So I haven’t talked about my job on here but I work in Government Contracts (it is really not as glamorous boring important as it sounds) and the fiscal year for the Government ends September 30th. This means they have to spend all their money or lose it come next years budget. So this week for me is kinda like what tax season is for CPA’s. It is chaotic, frenzied and really stressful. Meaning I have not taken one picture of my meals this week and with a few new faces around here I figured I would change it up a bit this week with a few random things about me.
* I majored in Communication with a minor in Sociology in college. My job has nothing to do with either but I guess my blog kinda does, right?
* I played Softball growing up from 8 years old up to 17 years old. I was a lefty who played third base. When I got to High School they wouldn’t let me play 3rd (they didn’t think a lefty could do it) so I became a pitcher and ended up pitching almost every game my Sophmore year. I miss playing all the time and go to the batting cages when I can.

* I played soccer when I was young too but I was really aggressive and so they tried putting my as Goalie. No-one puts Kerry in a corner!
* I am a total type A and I fit my Virgo personality perfectly. I make lists upon lists of everything. Some of it is due to a concussion and memory issues but mostly just due to me constantly wanting to look things up, research something, remember a song or movie someone mentioned. I keep a daily, weekly and monthly to-do list thanks to Chalene’s 30 day program to help master organization and meeting goals.
* I lost my kitty Jasmine in January 2013 to feline breast cancer. I still cry looking at pictures of her and it was one of the hardest things watching her go. She was the first pet that was all mine and not a family pet.
* I can not carry a tune, like at all!
* I am a lefty – it has been said we a smarter! 😉
* I am a total old soul and believe in good old fashion values. I wish we didn’t lose so much of what was good about the older generation.
* I have such a hard time saying No and want to help everyone, sometimes as the detriment of my own sanity or comfort. I don’t know if this is a good or bad quality.
* Yellow is my favorite color. I really makes me smile when wearing it, decorating with it, or painting with it.
* I will always support breast cancer fundraising. I used to walk/volunteer at the Breast Cancer Walk in Boston and pass out favors at the finish line. I also ended up with extreme hypothermia while doing the 3 day Breast Cancer walk one year.
Well that is all I have for today, hope you learned a little bit more about me. I can’t tell you all enough how incredibly blessed I feel that you take the time to read my little ole blog. If we haven’t connected yet please comment so we can get to know each other better! Much love!
Linking up with Shanna for Random Wednesday.
i’m glad you posted this! i love learning more about the bloggers i follow 🙂 and my other comment went kaput. did you get it?
Thanks! Hope it was all good things! 😉 I don’t think I got it.
Hi Kerry. I’m so sorry to hear about your poor kitty. I remember you from the Downey years 🙂 I have to say you have turned into one of the most interesting people on my FB friends list. I really enjoy reading your blog.
Thank you so much!! Good old Downey! So many great memories. I hope you mean interesting in a good way! Haha! 😉 Thank you so very much for reading!
I’m scared as hell of clowns, but for a good cause…? So sorry about your kitty. WAH. I would not be over that.
I also can’t carry a tune.
LOLOL @ nobody puts kerry in a corner
Some clowns can be scary but we did beep horns and pass out stuff like beads and candy! It has been 9 months and it hits me randomly that she is gone. 🙁
Okay and I am a little stubborn too, I think I kicked one too many shins, I was a little competitive even at 6 yrs old. Oops!
as a fellow leftie and bad singer let em say I love reading these type of posts. so sorry about your cat, that is so so sad…and clowns are creepy.
Yeah for lefties!! Writing about her again really brought the sadness back. 🙁 Does it help that we passed out mardi gras beads and lollipops at the finish line??
i love learning more about you!! I’m a lefty too!
Awww missed you girl!! Hope you are rocking it!! Lefties are awesome, so I am not surprised!
I had no idea that breast cancer was a problem for kitties. So sorry to hear about your loss! It sounds like you gave her the best home a kittie could imagine. She was so lucky!
I’m a total list maker too! List makers unite 🙂
I didn’t either until I felt lumps on her and took her to the vet. They tried surgery but they came back fast and furious.
I was the lucky one she was such a sweet affectionate kitty.
List makers unite!!! I am so bad about it, but not sorry about it either! Haha!
Cats can get breast cancer? Who knew? Sorry for your loss, it is so tough. I’m a cat lady, too!
But on a happier note, I am also a comm major so let’s talk reframing and how the medium is the message, shall we?
Yes, I didn’t think it was but i guess it can happen especially if they get fixed later in life though my cat was one when she was fixed. Not sure how accurate that is though, just what one of the vets said. It is so hard I thought of getting a new kitty but I guess I still miss her to much to move on yet. 🙁
OMG!! That totally brought me back to college. It is such a broad Major too. That is awesome!
I love find more about peoples jobs!
I wouldn’t say yellow is my favourite colour but it’s definitely a GREAT one and as we’ve already established, lefties are the best.
It is not very glamorous, but it keeps me busy for sure! Lefties rule!
I loved this. So cool that you are a lefty, I am too.
and I cannot believe that about your cat, I know that has to be heartbreaking. She was beautiful.
Thank you, I miss her terribly! Woohoo for lefties!!
butterfly kisses makes me cry and think of my daddy. so want that played at my wedding when and if that day ever comes. never seen that movie. may have to. hope it’s not a tear jerker.
Me too!! It is such a great song! Oh, you must if you haven’t seen it. It is a little sad at points but such a good love story! One of my favorites!
