Today I received a call from my lender - my loan package is complete, and is being forwarded to the closing attorney next week. I close on my first home on the 31st. I can now breathe, and talk about it more. Everyone's been asking me if I'm excited, and I am, I really am but until I sign all of the closing docs I am still keeping it low key. I have superstitions and most of them deal with me getting my hopes up way too soon.
Of course, unless something happens like I lose the down payment or the house gets struck by lightening, THAT SUCKER IS MINE! Pinnie and I are going to have our own home!
For my NK girls, I plan on having a NK slumber party at some point so be prepared, be warned and bring the wineritas, coldstone and wild vine. IT'S ABOUT TO BE ON!

Just Dance...and lose your mind.
Okay so I am probably one of the only people who LOVE Just Dance by Lady Gaga (and yes a lot of it has to do with the sight of Danny and Jon on stage during the concert - had to throw a NK reference in, didn't I?) but never really listened to the words because I was always trying to get my mug on camera. I finally did last week and wow - this song describes some nights I've had out at the clubs to a big fat capital T.
The song is seriously bringing back memories of me, drunk off my ass, dancing like a crazed maniac because there was nothing else I could do without falling over.
It’s like, you seriously have not lived if you have not had a ‘Just Dance’ moment at a club. I admit I have lost my keys, lost my drink, drank someone else's drink, fell flat on the dance floor (although I do hold the queen of falling on the dance floor to my friend Leilani), thought I lost my cell phone, and pretty much had a playboy mouth that I wish I could shut.
HOWEVER - I have not turned my shirt inside out.
“I love this record baby, but I can’t see straight anymore!” Classic Katrina at around 1:00 a.m. at any given club circa 1996 – 2008 (okay, 2009, I totally forgot about two weeks ago).
Anyway I thought that was funny and worth sharing :)

Kimmel, 'Canes and Camping - New Kid style
So my LA girls are, at this moment in time, outside of Jimmy Kimmel after a day and a half of camping (and I must laugh that Mrs. 'I will never camp, ever, I don't care how much you try to bribe me' has been CAMPING on a sidewalk since Saturday Night (her defense...there is a SIDEWALK, not grass and dirt). I'm a wee bit jealous. Yes I am.
In fact, I had the opportunity to go, but being on the OTHER side of the country, just starting a new job, with a NK concert and NK cruise to take time off for, I declined. What happens, it snows and I have the day off. Had I known ahead of time we were getting this storm I would have flown out there over the weekend and partook in the excitement. I've talked to them a few times and except for the crazy girl who thinks it is entirely appropriate to come on Friday night, drop off a chair, leave for 10 to 12 hours a time and come back to claim her spot (I mean seriously, who DOES that) they have been having a ball.
In other Kat news, apparently as I was typing this I was roped into going to my first Carolina Hurricanes game on March 20th. Should be fun, especially with the person I'm going with. He's a dork, but apparently dork suits me. Anyway after watching last weeks game against the Sabres I hope the game against the Islanders is just as exciting. Of course, having a few beers with me and hanging with the guys, will make it as exciting. So for the week of March 20th I have:
March 17 - NKOTB Greenville Concert.
March 20 - Carolina Hurricanes game
March 21 - one of my best friend's birthday gathering.
March 22 - taking my ex boyfriend/now friend up to Lake Lure for his birthday.
I'm going to have to get an extra hour of sleep every day starting now just to make sure I have enough energy stored up for that week. Ah well, it wouldn't be my life without one random week of fun stuff to do.
Until next time.

Let it SNOW!
If it wasn't great enough that my rocker friend ended up giving me his New Kids on the Block/New Kids on the Block CD last night (not only that, but put it on while we were all having a small party - yes, I may have entertained them all with singing alone to I Wanna Be Loved by You - and yes Jonathan, I want to be loved by you too...anyway), but after all the hype about snow arriving today I finally got to partake in the excitement.
See, last time it snowed here, parts of Charlotte got up to 3 feet of snow. My area got...a smattering. I actually had to walk outside and look down into the grass to see the few clumped pieces of ice that remained. I felt neglected by mother nature. As the news showed kids playing on sleds and having snow days, I drove to work in a completely snow free environment. So about an hour ago when I went outside I was pleased (read=excited as hell) to see this:
That is the view from my balcony going to the lake. That was after ONE hour of snow. It's supposed to snow until tomorrow morning so I have NO idea what I'll wake up to. Craziness. Now if only I had a bottle of wine it would be great. Hmm, I wonder if it's safe for me to drive down to the store. I kind of want to ;)
