I know it looks like I’ve abandoned Kathrynocity lately, but truly I haven’t. Things have been pretty busy lately, but that’s no excuse not to keep updating. After getting caught up on Angela’s blog, it recently came to my attention that it’s National Blog Posting Month, and although I can’t promise to write something every day for a month, maybe a few posts this month will suffice.

Let’s see…to get caught up on all things in the world. Our wedding planning is going well. I haven’t had much to do lately, but we’re just getting ramped up to do all the things that have to be done before tax season starts again. I’m finalizing dates and arrangements with people I haven’t hired yet. At the moment, it seems that getting out hair done will be the most painful process of them all since it will probably involve getting started way early in the morning. Oh well.

My whole family came to Austin a few weeks ago for what has been come to be known as Alfredson Family weekend. We had a really fun time and the weather was beautiful. Just a word of caution to anyone planning on taking the Austin Steam Train to Burnet, Texas: please don’t plan on eating in a restaurant there. Bring a picnic lunch and find a park. This is not a quaint hill country town with a nice historic square with restaurants and shops. It’s the distant third-cousin to that concept. I think we’re just spoiled by Fredericksburg.

Josh just bought himself a new toy. It’s a Z4 M Roadster. It’s very fast. It took him a long time to find the exact one he wanted, and I’m glad he finally did since he really loves this new car. I’m getting lessons from the very patient Josh on how to drive a manual transmission, but as much as I like to think of myself as the Stig, I’m pretty bad at hills…although I do pretty well on flat ground.

Work is okay. November and December are our slowest months, so we’ll take a lot of time off between now and the end of the year. I’ll start on the tax organizers any day now and as soon as we get those my boss will literally want them done as soon as possible. Seriously, if I were working at super human speeds for two days straight with no breaks, that would not be fast enough. I’m always very amused by this though, considering we don’t mail them out until January. But at least I’m prepared this year. Next year will by my fifth tax season, and I’m fairly certain I’ve learned a thing or two in the past five years.

Like many other people, I’ve recently become obsessed with Glee on Fox. It’s awesome! I’m not at all ashamed to say I’ve downloaded several of the songs from iTunes and sing along to them loudly with the roof open and the windows down. Yes, people do look at me funny…but once I did get applause!

By next month, Josh and I will have attended a total of six weddings. I can’t believe how many of our friends got married this past year! They will all be great resources when I need help with our wedding next year. Josh and I have always moved at a different pace I guess. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid at Ashley and Greg’s wedding exactly one month ago today! That was a beautiful day! In two week’s we will attend the wedding of Chelsea and Bryan, some Texas friends I met at KU. I have gotten really good at buying gifts off registries!

I will work on getting back on track with blog posting. However, I do update my Twitter account almost all the time and you can find me @kathrynocity.
