Tupperware and Dresses

So I have determined that there is no great way to store Tupperware. Why does it have to be so difficult? If you put the lids on all the containers and then put them in the cupboard you take up a tonne of space stacking them. If you stack them without lids on you have to find somewhere to put the lids and then you have to search for the right lid when you want one. I think the only thing that makes sense is the 'smart spin'! It stores your containers and your lids! Man what I wouldn't do for one of those!!!

The reason I am once again reminded of the dilemma of storing Tupperware is that I was cleaning my apartment last night in anticipation of 3 of my sisters and my mom coming down this weekend to go dress shopping!! So excited! We are going to David's Bridal in the States and are mostly looking at bridesmaids dresses. There are a few styles there I fell in love with in a magazine so we're checking them out! Plus seeing if the colours I LOVE from there are actually the same as I think they are. Of course I'll also try a dress or two on! CRAZY!!!! but so exciting......:)

I want to be a writer

Growing up, I was determined that I would grow up to be an author or journalist. It all seemed possible. I enjoyed writing stories and loved English class. That was until I hit grade 10 English where I got a dreaded 72%. This coming after a grade 9 year where i got 95% and had written the best essay my teacher had ever read by a grade 9. This trampled my dreams. Now I look back and think how could I let one cranky old teacher shut down my dreams! Poor silly, shy impressionable little Katie. I should have been more determined.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about where my life is going and where I think it should be going and what I want to be when I grow up. The idea of being a journalist/author has never left me but I feel it coming back to me more and more lately. At work every 2-3 months, I get to write a reflection on the Gospel for that Sunday. I look forward to this so much because it gives me a chance to write! So here I am now, at work, deciding that I will write! I will start my own blog that no one in reality will read (except for Button), but I will do it!

Maybe it will lead me to a future in writing! I believe in myself now and won't let no grade 10 English teacher stand in my way!
