I'm a little blogpot...

does anyone else ever type "blogpots" instead of "blogspot"? i do it all the freakin' time! grrr....

...and i will always love you... whitney's singin' it on the radio now. sad song. sad movie. wouldn't that be just my luck?! tragic romance. falling in love and saying goodbye. ugh. why are there so many movies about that? does that ever happen in real life? i think it probably does. and maybe that's ok. but it would be kinda weird to totally fall in love with someone... then part ways... and then fall in love with another guy who becomes my husband. wouldn't it be weird to love two men? or does the love for the first one go away when the second one comes along? can we love more than one person at a time? wow, i think weird things when i'm tired. it's kinda thrilling actually. like i'm too tired to actually care about what i'm writing about, so i'm just blabbing on senselessly. enough of that.

rob thomas is now singing... "i don't wanna be lonely no more". oh shut up. i need to find a new radio station. obviously. where's a good inspirational christian song when you need one? kadi... here i come! (that's KADI the radio station not some weird funky spelling of katie... though that's kinda cool... if i owned the KADI radio station, i might name my daughter "Kadi" just for kicks!)

hmmm... what other randomness can i babble about? actually, i'm kinda tired now. yep, pooped. good night.

The Return of K1

ok, so i'm back. it's late. nothing to blog about. i'm going to watch man on fire instead. great movie. great hero story. denzel. enough said.

Scenes from the Wedding

On Saturday, the first of the Plumlee Girls got married! Kelly (K4) married Keith, our next door neighbor for almost 16 years. It was a beautiful wedding and we all had a fun time! Here are a few of the pix we already have:

The New Fam

The Ceremony

The Cake

Reception Fav: Chocolate Fountain More pix to follow as we get them!

Sabbatical???

Say it aint so, kid! I heard K1 mention the other day that she might be taking a break from the blogging scene. She'll still comment, but maybe not post for a while. What's the world coming to? This can't happen. She started Kronikals, she must stay. Please sign the "Keep K1 Blogging" petition.

5 Days and Counting

Counting down the days 'til K4's wedding. This week is about to get really busy so I probably won't be blogging a whole lot after Tuesday. I'll be heading down to Arkansas to start getting things ready. My dual role as bridesmaid/wedding planner has kept me busy these past 8 months. But I've loved it! We should have plenty of photos to post after the event seeing how we counted up at least 6 professional photographers that will be in attendance (not counting dear 'ole dad).

Pickle Update: Finished canning the pickles today and ended up with 33 pints. That's a lot of pickles! So, if there's ever a famine I guess we won't starve, we can just live on pickles!

DTB Hangout: Those of you who missed the DTB hangout Sunday night don't know what you missed. Way too much fun was had! I forgot my camera but you can check out some photos on these blogs: www.hillenblog.com & www.downtownblogs.com Great photos you guys!

Domesti-K

Today I went to wedding #2 of my 7 weddings in 2 months. It was a beautiful wedding! During the lighting of the candles we had a praise and worship time. They had written their own vows which beautifully reflected their relationship together. It was a very God-centered wedding! They also did something really neat at the reception. Each round table had a beautifully decorated cake in the middle of it to kind of serve as the center-piece. When the bride and groom cut their small cake they invited everyone else to cut the cakes at their tables. There were 3 different flavors scattered throughout so you could go meet people at another table if you wanted a piece of their cake. I descretely made my exit before the whole bouquet toss thing!

How did K2 spent her Saturday evening you might ask? I spent 2 hours doing a cucumber treatment. That is if you count cutting up cucumbers for pickels as a "treatment". When I was finished my hands did have this weird slimy peel that I had to scrub off (with a plastic scratcher), but my hands feel really soft now! The pickles are currently soaking in a lime-water bath overnight. They'll be ready for canning tomorrow!

Weddings in the Air

Today I received yet another wedding invitation in the mail. That brings my total to 4 invitations received in the past week. I was just looking at my calendar and yes, I have 7 weddings to go to in under 2 months. Wow! Congratualtions to all my freiends who have already or are getting ready to tie-the-knot!

Speaking of upcoming weddings, K4 has decided to give blogging a try. Since she'll be moving near Fayetteville soon she decided to go ahead and jump on the band-wagon. Check it out at www.kjdwyer.blogspot.com.

BTW - Does anyone know where the phrase "band-wagon" came from? Just curious!

Background Music

So, today I was listening to 88.3fm (The Wind) and was wondering if anyone else finds it interesting that they play Coldplay's "Clocks" and "The Theme from Forrest Gump" as their background music for their station ad. Don't get me wrong, I love Coldplay and the instrumental from Forrest Gump is really nice. I just thought it a bit odd.

Sobriety Checkpoint

After leaving downtown Springfield tonight I headed to the fair to drop something off for K1. It was around 11:15pm, I was driving up Glenstone and yes, right in front of Evangel I got to participate in my first ever "Sobriety Checkpoint". Yes, I passed! All I had to do was show my driver's license and then when he asked if I'd been drinking I said only coffee and tea! It was pretty neat though. I've heard about them on New Year's Eve but didn't know that they do them throughout the year. I think it's a great idea and will be mailng in the survey card the cop gave me. My favorite part... the cars that were pulling off to the side of the road and turning around after seeing the "sobriety checkpoint" sign. Can you say...GUILTY?!?!?!?!

Another "K" Engaged

I can't beleive it's been over a week since my last post. Being the designated "wedding planner" for K4's wedding, which is less than 3 weeks away, has kept me pretty busy. Not to mention things are busy at work with less than 2 weeks left of Kamp and K-Life stuff getting real busy.

Last weekend was CRAZY with bridal portraits, a wedding shower, a meeting at the church, a bridal shower, and not to mention the annual Plumlee family Christmas card photo. But thankfully I survived them all. I even ran up to Springfield on Monday night to see K1 at the fair. It was fun! I also saw Hillen (btw, thanks for the ticket) and got to meet Millsie!

Anyways, getting to the subject of this blog. That's right! Only 18 days before K4's wedding and K5 announces she's engaged. Keeping with the whole "kuh" sound she'll be marrying none other than...Cody. That'll make us: Kristy, Karla, Kim, Kelly, Kayla, and new comers Keith, and Cody. Don't worry, K1, K3, and I are determined to break the "kuh" sound eventually! When you ask? Your guess is as good as mine. :-)

I think after going through all of K4's wedding plans that K5 has decided she wants to have a small destination wedding. Maybe Cancun? Oh no, the "kuh" sound again!

Wow, 2 weddings will probably take place within 9 months of each other! Don't worry, at the current pace it could be a while before there is another wedding in the family. At least coming from me, but K1 and K3 may have other ideas! :-)

That's all for now. I'll try not to wait so long for the next post. K2, Out!
