I'm bad...to the bone.

I'm actually really bad at keeping this up but I feel like I should get better. Maybe I will now that everyone is leaving me. Yes, Karli, that means you.

I walked for my graduation on May 22nd. It felt pretty incredible when I got to turn my tassle. Alas, I am not done with school however. I have one last field work class to take. I'm in a toddler's room for the summer, or until July 3rd. I am at the B.C. Center again and LOOOOVING it.

Soon I will be done. We will see what the future brings us. There are lots of transitions going on... many changes. I look forward to putting this all behind me and moving on to the future.

Pat and Kristina got married yesterday. It was a gorgeous backyard wedding with delicious food, wine and music with some of the greatest friends on Earth.

watch out...i'm starting to grow up!

First things first. I have owned few watches in my life. I pretty much altogether stopped wearing one in 1999. They freak me out. Like my life is slowly slipping by, but instead of enjoying it I have this giant face on my hand ticking down the moments.

Dramatic? Of course, it's me! Well, it's all well and good not to wear a watch but now that my schedule involves student teaching, working, playing, and mentoring I need something to tell me the time. Like I ever carry a cell phone.

So I went out today and bought one. During this shopping extravaganza I started to have a panic attack. I looked at all the watches and hated them instantly. I tried on one that was a metal bangle that snapped shut. A handcuff, I thought. I am handcuffed to NO FUN and DEATH. tick tick tick...well, there was 3 wasted seconds... tick tick... shit, i should've enjoyed that more...

Well, Ms. Drama-Queen (me) finally picked one out. Pretty cute. I just put it on without panicking. So far, it's okay. I feel a little weird but I think I'll make it... but I do feel like I'm growing up, or giving in. hmph. Silly.


(this is what my watch looks like, only mine has black where the beige is and beige where the brown is. get it?)

let's have some fun with photoshop...

here's a fun thing:

1. Click on this link:
The first title on the page is the name of your band.


2. Click on this link
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.


3. Finally, click on this link
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. You then take the pic and add your band name and the album title to it, then post your picture.

it's miller-corcoran.

Alright, people. I know that you all don't agree with my hyphen. I'm not asking you to agree with it. I'm asking you to respect it and respect me. My last name is Miller-Corcoran. Just because I have a different camping parts does not mean I lost my identity when I got married.

It is the 21st century. I refuse to live my life like it is 1942 and try to fit into someone's idea of what a wife is. I was raised by a very strong people who knew who they were and never falter from that. My grandmother is the most amazing woman to ever grace this planet. She knows who she is and is confident in herself. She raised her children to be the same way and consequently you have me. I will never give up the Miller in me. It's not all semantics. It's the most important thing I have.

So, please, the next time you address an envelope to me address it to Mrs. Kate Miller-Corcoran. And never call me Mrs. Nick Corcoran unless you plan on calling him Mr. Kate Miller.

Fieldwork!!

I received a phone call yesterday from my professor asking me if I wanted to do my fieldwork placement for this upcoming semester in a threes room! When I heard her message I skipped around the house, screaming.

I have not been this psyched since I got my acceptance letter from Capital University in 1997. I cannot wait. I. cannot. wait!!! Can I start tomorrow? Can I? Can I just go sit in the classroom and soak it all in?!!!

Today is a great day. Today is beautifully filled with the loves of my life. My dad, my inlaws, my family of friends for juan's birthday. The family of friends that is extending. The beautiful people. so happy!

and what? did you say that the Freaking NY Giants are in the NFC Championship playoffs? You DID!? I am still pooping my pants from last week. I can't believe it. Really. How in the HELL did that happen? I'll tell you: my NY Giants are scrappy mother f*^ckahs! yup. yup yup yup! can't wait. they have a very slim chance of beating Brett Favre and Emily's GB Packers. at Lambeau Field. When it's negative seven. But the M-C Lites don't care... we're just happy they'll be there!! ha HOOO!!!

happy times!!
