June 11 OUT OF ORDERYou have reached the blog of the infamous Katsoup.
Due to the changes and
profile pages,
and clickety clicks it takes
before I can read everyones blogs it is totally too time consuming.
MSN you win. you have forced me into a gentler way of networking. again.
I am on facebook - for now.
I love the apps and playing games with my friends there.
I play Kaching stock market, MyFarm and Scrabble.
If you dont know, It's the place to be.
There are these little burps of info from all my friends on one easy page.
Whew! how simple.
Twila, I have a friend request in for you there. (unless there is someone else with your name)
MSN, you have been a faithful ole whore.
You know I love ya baby but i gotta keep movin'
May 06 Richard Newman  This is my best friend Richard Evon (Jr.) Newman.
He passed away suddenly after a long illness on Saturday May 2, 2009
I wish I had the talent of a skilled writer, beautiful words flowing from my heart to convey my sorrow and grief over the loss of the best friend I ever had.
I have been comforting myself with songs from the last 30 years that we have shared and dubbed "our songs"
Thank You, You Tube.
If anyone should ever write my life story, for whatever reason there might be.
You'll be there between each line of pain and glory. I told him that many times.
We loved linda Ronstadt in the day. This song is so me right now.
Oh lord, if ya hear me, touch me and hold me and keep me from blowing away.
I hear them whisper, they think we're lovers. kept undercover. They say we laugh just a little too loud, stand just a little too close, stare just a little too long. Lets give em' somthin' to talk about. A little mystery to figure out. We loved this
Jr and I have gone to jail together uh-humm more than once. (less than three times) Avoided going to jail together many times. He has taken me to drag shows. We have been in two auto accidents together. We drank our way around the world at Taco Mac in midtown Atlanta. We know eachothers deepest secrets. We agreed it's a little too late to do the right thing now.
I hope you at least listen to one song and think of a friend - then call that friend. Richard and I have been friends since before I could drive.I got my license before him. He did not drive until he was 23. He has ridden in every car I have ever had. (22 I think) We worked together at Sears catalog sales warehouse. Then later in Sears charge card remittence. In the 90 s we worked in a mini blind company together. He was there when I graduated from college. He was there when my son was born. He went to my sons college graduation. We have gone on vacation together several times. More than anything else, I'm sorry for myself, living without you.
I have shared more conversation with him than anyone else on earth. We had so many things in common, our lives were forever intermingled. how can I go on?
April 27 It's not NascarWe have a neighbor that lives behind our store.
He is always changing hobbies.
This month he is a race car driver.
We bought the roof of his car as an AD for our store.
 We figured the roof would last the longest of all the body parts.
  His first race was Saturday night.
He was 5th out of 17 entries.
We are very pleased that he did so well his first race!
TTFN~
P.S. Today would have been my moms 79th birthday. It's been 5 years, I miss her.
April 20 Tender GracesRuss and I packed an overnight bag and hopped in the car on Friday afternoon. We took a beautiful drive through the mountains up to North Carolina. We checked in a hotel across the street from Harrahs Casino. We freshened up and made our way another 20 minutes down the road to surprise one of my MSN Spaces friends. Our very own Kathryn (Kat) Magendie has had her first book published. I was nervous and nearly chickened out but, I am so glad I went. It was so nice to meet her she is very warm and personable. I was of course pleased that when I sat down next to her and handed her a single rose I said, my name is KatSoup, Her eyes flew open and she gave me a big hug. I was worried she would say - who? She signed my book and we chatted for a few minutes. I could have stayed all night but others were waiting for a piece of her.
As it turns out, Harrah's has changed so much Russ and I hated it. We had an awful time there. We both agreed Kat's book signing party was much more fun. She was shooting moonbeams of joy from her entire body. How infectious to be next to someone so happy. You cant help but feel happy too.
Russ took 14 pictures and I am VERY lucky that 1 of them is in focus.
 As you can see, she is sweet and adorable. Anybody watch the show "Reba"? I felt like Barbra Jean sitting with Reba. A cute lil' spitfire and a giant blond.
I have not written until now because every spare minute I have had my nose in a good book. It is such a wonderful story. The kind of story I love to read. I wish everyone could read it. (TENDER GRACES BY KATHRYN MAGENDIE) I am not just saying this cuz I'm rubbin' elbows with a celebrity author now, but the story is a hard look at life through the eyes of mountain women and an innocent young girl. I am on page 217. I can't wait, and will be sad when I reach the end. What a ride it has been.
I have also been through all the emotions critics talked about.
Favorite line so far, "My brother looked at me like I was dipped in stupid sauce" I laughed out loud Kat.
UPDATE- Russ takes offense...
He says some of the out of focus shots were our fault so here are some more (blurry) pics.
