I may have been a little harsh in last nights blog or explicitly honest, the truth is I'm hurting. How do you fall in love with someone in just two dates, one week, 6 dates, one month...one 4 hour texting session? How do you move on, when no matter how you feel, you know you can't be together. You don't want the same things, knowing you only feel this way a couple times in life...
Looking at my new six week old godson, you have to have hope. He is hope and so is his brother...

2013 Starts off with a bang...
Well, maybe not in the traditional sense. However, there was a little sex... :) And then there wasn't...
Okay, I just want to let you know this is not my best blog and probably not well written, but I am divulging my feelings, isn't that what blogs are for? Not sure really what I'm suppose to do with this besides treat it like a diary and give my friends a few laughs at my expense.
I just wanted to declare that 2013 started off pretty crappy, but I'm going to stay the course. I'm going to keep trying, keep trekinig and stay true to who I am.
Let's summarize 2012 and predict 2013....
2012, in order of guys:
C...again name not necessary, fucked around with him for a year when I wasn't ready to break another guy's heart. Wasn't suppose to get involved, 45 year old father of 2 sons in college, started to have feelings and that came to bite me in the ass (sorry not holding back in this post...if we can't be honest then ...I wanted kids and told him and he almost fell off of his stool, ha! I would have never trusted him. Best sex ever and he was really hot!
Taylor, great recently divorced, wait not finally divorced, very big, if you know what I mean. Sweet, kind of shy and nervous around me, clearly I was too much for him...
Brandt, awesome cute guy with absolutely no follow through, but we had one fun night which was mostly banter. I haven't spoken to him in two months and he texts me last weekend to wish me a happy new year...what is with guys?
Ed, took me out for a fun night, but friends with C and eventually pissed my couch, oops I mean Bridget's couch, ha! No I'm not in college, he just has some issues.
RK, has a daughter who is 12 who he is totally dedicated to, which is attractive, but he doesn't have much time and he is too old because he doesn't want kids and he broke my heart...part of the crappy part of 2013...why do I always fall for the wrong guys? Please if you have answers, help me!
Then there is Robert...he is going back to school at University of Wyoming to finish his undergraduate degree at the age of 40 and he's perfect, right out of a catalog. Okay that might be an exaggeration. Handsome, tall, sweet, giving, healthy, does yoga every morning, but I hurt him once and he wants another try. I'm going to give it to him another shot, but I'm nervous that I'm forcing it. So I'm making this pledge to my nearest and dearest.
I am turning 32 in 3 weeks and I'm not where I thought I'd be, career or family, but that's life. I need your help to keep me honest with myself. I know I really want to be married and to have kids, but the first part is really out of my control. Like I said, I'm going to keep trying, keep drudging through the mud, try to remain positive, stay true to myself and have hope. If you have any advice I welcome it.
Okay, back to my Rom Com. Ha! I should probably work, whatever!

Online Dating
So don't tell my mom (how many times am I going to start my blog with this), but I signed back up for eharmony on Saturday. I really wasn't that psyched to start again, not because I didn't have a good experience last time, but just because of the work that it was going to entail.
I know half of you are married who read this blog, but dating sucks. There are so many bad dates. And those of us who are single longer have to go on more bad dates than those who are married, some how that doesn't seem fair, like a double whammy.
Anyway, I did it because I felt I should. I was in a dry spell and needed to water that flowers if you know what I mean, he he. Hey we've all got needs!!! Okay that makes me sound....needy.
That's not it, the truth is I'm not getting any younger and have made a lot of bad choices in the dating department, in no particular order: selfish asshole, chubby funny guy, old guy, okay made that mistake a few times. Yes, thank you for all of the "I told you so...s". (Side note: I'm now old enough now, that I even like some guys my age, ha!)
Anyway, what I really want is to find a best friend, partner, compadre, pal to do all the fun things I want to do with the rest of my life, maybe kids, travel, movies, dinners, sailing, gymnastics, zip-lining, etc. Ahh..... the world is my oyster.......sorry where was I?
Back to dating. After 3 days and 30 matches later, I've already got three possible potentials, a pediatrician, meterologist and financial analyst. Now I'm psyched! How quickly my outlook turned and now my thoughts are "am I ready to settle down?". AHHHHH! I'm screwed.
Look for future dating stories to come....
In the meantime, for those of you who actually read this, let me know what you think about my blogs. I'm trying to find a subject to write about, but haven't thought about anything yet. I'd like your suggestions.
Happy Tuesday!

My Promotion
Hello,
Good News, I got promoted on Friday to Senior Compensation Analyst. A goal I had set out for in 2012, so check! Bad News I wanted to celebrate with all of you, my friends and I couldn't. So I'm doing it through a blog because it is the 21st century after all and how else do you celebrate with your friends from all across the country.
This is my second time being promoted in my life. First time I think I was around 24/25 and I was promoted from the Assistant Account Executive role to Account Executive role on the KFC account at DraftFCB. Gosh that seems like an eternity ago, doesn't it Jacks? Anyway, since then I've changed career paths, worked for four different companies, moved across country for a job and been laid off twice. So I would say I've come a long way and this is a sort of milestone for me. I just want to thank all of you for being such supportive friends through it all. I wouldn't be here without all of you in my life.
Now, I know Senior Compensation Analyst doesn't sound all that grand, but it does feel good. I'm not great at receiving positive recognition, I get kind of embarrassed, but not in front of people that I care most about like you.
So how did I celebrate, a couple of beers with Kate Wodder, Conor, her boyfriend and my boss, Keith, the guy who promoted me, I had to reciprocate with something. Then a whole bunch of couch time this weekend, boy am I getting old.Anyway, I wanted to share the good news.
Also, another one of my goals this year is to write in my blog at least once a month. I missed January, but I didn't write them until February, so hopefully, I will find some great stuff to write about. I look forward to chatting with you this year.
XOXO,
Kate

Wow it's been awhile
This is an FYI, more blogging is coming. I know I only have two followers, but for some reason it is important to these two individuals that I write and divulge the strange life that I live. Well, I'm hoping to make it strange because that's why people read it. Anyway, more to come. I am excited to start writing again. Still trying to figure out what to write about, so through blogging I'm going to figure it out. Watch out. Flatch is back!

Lucy
I am watching Julie and Julia and it along, with my friend Megan, have inspired me to start writing in my blog again.
Lucy is my cat. For those of you who know about her, stay with me, I will try to make this as enjoyable as any blog I tell can be.
My roommate, Kate, has never lived with a cat and it has been an experience so far. She cannot stand my relationship with Lucy. Every time I feed her, I hear a grown from the other room. Kate calls her french names that I will not mention. She once called me at work concerned because Lucy was eating her own hair.
Lucy does not have the full facilities of other cats like her; she is not the smartest cat around. We live in a town home and she will sit on the stairs and I will stand at the bottom of the stairs and throw one of her toys into the dinning room on the first floor. Lucy runs up the rest of the stairs to the second floor, looking for the toy.
Lucy has a beautiful coat, when she is healthy. I know this because every plumber who visits us always compliments it. The most highest regard. It's gray and white, mostly gray with white underneath and a little white spot on her behind. She has beautiful aquamarine eyes.
Well, now it's time for me to feed her, my gourmet rice and tuna combination. It's no wonder Kate moans.

Another Co-Worker Story
I went to the Cubs/Rockies game with my team from work and after a few beers, our mail room man told us a story about his attempt to start a healthy lifestyle. He went into 24 hour fitness to sign up for a membership and they told him he was fat. Another co-worker leaned over two laps to say, "I hope you didn't pay for that advice". Of course not, why pay for that when she could tell you that for free.
