<p>Last weekend I decide that an adventure to the local aquarium would be a fun way to spend the day. My gf and I had a blast! right up to before we hit the insect section. OMG!!!!! they have some really big spiders in the aquarium and some even bigger centipedes. YUCK! This spawned a full day spent dusting, washing and vacuuming my whole place just to make sure that there was nothing living in the space behind my bed.</p>
<p> I loved the bird exhibits and of course the ALLIGATORS! They were awesome. One even had a major underbite lol. I was so busy trying to get as close to the glass as I could (I wanted a really good photo) that I didn&#8217;t notice the one coming towards me until it was too late. I must have jumped like 3 feet in the air. I know what your thinking I was in no immediate danger behind the glass wall that separates us from them, but you try turning around to see this coming at you. I thought he was going to eat me! After closer inspection he looked kinda fat and slow. I could probably out run him if I had to lol:D</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-135" href="http://katiebanks.com/blog/this-is-what-happens-when-you-leave-things-lying-around/dsc01109-2/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135" src="http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC011091.jpg" alt="" width="647" height="485" /></a></p>
<p> So far this week has just buzzed right on by, it feels like it should be wednesday today not thursday. But I am at least starting to feel back to normal and in perfect sync with the world around me. In fact I woke up 10 minutes before my alarm went off this morning. Which just so happened to be 20 minutes before the fire techs came to check the smoke alarm in my condo. I bet he wished I had of slept in a bit longer and come to the door in just my bath robe <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  heheheheh maybe next year Mr.fire  tech dude lol. </p>
<p> Tomorrow is finally friday TGIF yay!!! which means the long weekend is finally here. If your feeling the party early I&#8217;ll be cam around 10:30 am est on MFC! I&#8217;ve been really loving getting up early and hanging out with all my new ebuds and fans all day. You guys rock! In fact I am working on my new profile as we speak. I hope to have it done and up before the end of the weekend. I&#8217;ll make sure to twit a link for you all when it&#8217;s up <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p> Well I&#8217;m off to take kinzie to the park and hit up the mall for some panties to wear n then sell on MFC. That&#8217;s right I&#8217;m selling my worn panties! Just head on over to my profile for all the details <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  http://profiles.myfreecams.com/KatieBanks</p>

HeHeHe I just couldn&#8217;t resist sharing one of my favourite group of comedians pretty much ever. If you&#8217;ve never heard of them then I wonder where you have been for like the past 20-30 years. I was first introduced to these crazy cooks about ten years ago. My parents have all their movies and have been life long fans. Wonder what my all time favourite movie of theirs is? Well heres a clue it involves a certain killer bunny. LOL ok I probably just gave it away so here is a very famous clip anyways. Enjoy guys  </p>

Little curious george here bagged, bagged, bagged me for the scraps of peanut butter left in my tupperware container. Sometimes I forget  how cute this little monster can be. She&#8217;s so soft and cuddly and I can&#8217;t help myself but want to constantly give in to those itty bitty brown eyes. Which have managed to wiggle there way into my heart all week. I think that she has been feeling a little under the weather the last few days. Her tummy seems to be growling and making squishy noises every time she gets near me. Poor little creature; I&#8217;ve been making sure to let her sleep lots, take her for regular bathroom visits and trying to make sure she isn&#8217;t over eating or eating something she isn&#8217;t supposed to. That aside she seems as content as can be so I have to believe it&#8217;s nothing major. In fact she spent 2 hours at the park yesterday chasing her stupid ball until my arm hurt and I couldn&#8217;t throw the ball for her anymore. She would of kept going for at least another hour but I figured 2 ways good enough lol.  </p>
<p> I&#8217;ve been going a little stir crazy lately around here. I&#8217;m keeping busy, working lots and getting a chance to sit back and relax for a bit here and there. But I don&#8217;t know there is still something that is making me feel like I am forgetting to do something or go somewhere? I feel like a lost puppy lol! I think a relaxing long weekend spent with some family and friends will help to set me right. </p>
<p>I wanted to say thanks to all my new MFC buddies, my new followers, my new members and of course my already members. You guys have been the best lately. I love getting the chance to chat with everyone on MFC everyday. Thanks for keeping me company guys. If you haven&#8217;t already gotten a chance to chill on MFC yet, don&#8217;t worry we have plenty of time to get to know each other. Here check out my profile http://profiles.myfreecams.com/KatieBanks and see about all my goodies. You can catch me in the mornings around 10 am est monday-friday.</p>
<p> Well it&#8217;s that time again…. bed time. It always seems to creep up on me so fast. It&#8217;s like 5 pm and I start thinking about dinner and taking Kinzie to the park then next thing you know…. I&#8217;m sitting down to watch a movie and it&#8217;s 10:30 :O and I&#8217;m pooped. SO here I am at 10:35 writing to all my wonderful ebuddies instead. Sweet Dreams my loves, see you in the am.  XoXoXO</p>
<p>PS/ I thought I&#8217;d get started with titty tuesday early this week <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  <a href="http://katiebanks.com/blog/kinzie-loves-pb/img_0899-copy/" rel="attachment wp-att-612"><img src="http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_0899-copy.jpg" alt="" width="647" height="485" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-612" /></a></p>

I don&#8217;t know what it is about Katy Perry but I just can&#8217;t get enough! She looks smoking all dressed up n done to the nines like in her &#8216;california girls&#8217; vid and then can look so soft and sexy in ripped up jeans and an old shirt. I know my heart stops when she looks at me. If there was one female artist I would love to meet and perhaps have a little moment alone with her.  Enjoy dudes <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p> OH OH OH here&#8217;s a really cool interview done by Lisa Nova on youtube. It&#8217;s pretty cool! plus she looks smoking hot lol!

I always seem to know what temperature it is around me, it&#8217;s like a secret talent of mine. Much like the girl from the movie &#8216;mean girls&#8217; who could tell when it is raining (by rain hitting her boobs) I can tell when it&#8217;s cold because my nipples swell to the size of gum drops lol! It was a rather cold night on friday night while out in the middle of no where freezing my butt off in my sleeping bag with kinzie. </p>
<p> Other than it being a little cold at night, I had the best time camping. I went with my gf and her bf, my little brother and a few other friends. We headed out first thing friday morning to get a spot. It was so nice and sunny, so peaceful and relaxing out in the wilderness. We had everything set up within due time. We actually ended up building a fort out of tarps and creating our own little tent city. They where calling for rain on saturday n sunday <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> , but luckily the rain held out till just before we packed up on sunday. Thanks mother nature we just loved packing up wet stuff. Oh well it could have been way worse. </p>
<p> I am officially hot dogged out until next year. I think we ate hot dogs for like 2 or 3 meals over the weekend :/ lol that&#8217;s camping for you. It was kinda interesting roasting them considering we had a fire ban in all of BC. But that is what the coleman stove is for <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  They roasted up pretty good on the element, although we did look kinda dumb standing over the stove with wieners on a stick lol. We went for many an adventure throughout our stay. I think I walked for like ever. In the evenings we took glow sticks and played glow in the dark tag. If you have never tried it it is sooooo much fun! especially when we girls got creative and started too hide in the bushes just below everyone&#8217;s field of vision hehehhehe. WHo said we had to play fair <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Saturday we hit up the beach and then went for a 3 hour hike up the side of some mountain. It was pretty cool. BUt alas once we got back to the tent we where pooped for sure. That&#8217;s when the festivities really began. We decided to crack open a few bottles of wine before dinner. Of course we had to crack out the plastic dixi cups, and no dixi cup party is complete without prober labelling of who&#8217;s who&#8217;s, so&#8230;&#8230;.<a href="http://katiebanks.com/blog/holly-nipples/img_1568/" rel="attachment wp-att-590"><img src="http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_1568.jpg" alt="" width="647" height="485" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-590" /></a><a href="http://katiebanks.com/blog/holly-nipples/img_1570-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-594"><img src="http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_15701.jpg" alt="" width="647" height="485" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-594" /></a><br />
Taahhh Dahhhh!!!! As you can see we are all extremely mature adults who were having a little light humour around the picnic table. LOL!!!! OMG my 16 year old brother was there too :O As you can see we had quiet a few artists in the house that night. I was Princessa Giggles cause I couldn&#8217;t&#8217; stop giggling every time someone would get really close to my hiding spot while playing glow int eh dark tag. My little brother was stinky, my gf was Manglanador aka Officer Dangle, her bf was goose and our buddy was dirty sanchess. There was two other people there with us but they decided against playing lol, oh well to each their own. </p>
<p> Kinzie had a blast. She was totally right in her element with all the fresh air, room to play and sticks a dog could ever want. She loves the great outdoors and I bet she can&#8217;t wait to go camping again soon. </p>
<p>Well now that I&#8217;ve rambled for about a page and a half oops! I should be getting ready to hope on MFC for some unrestrained fun play time <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I will be on from roughly 11:30 am &#8211; 3:30 pm est. See you guys there</p>
<p>Ps there are more camping pics coming I promise</p>
<p> XoXoXo Katie </p>

After a fun filled day of caming there is nothing more relaxing then a brisk walk outside with my little munchkin Kinze. I took her for what most people would assume would  be a rather long walk for a little dog, but you know what?! Not for my little trooper. I think we walked for about 2 kms before we turned back and headed to the car. I didn&#8217;t really mean to walk for that long, I guess I was just wrapped up in my own head space and was enjoying the change in weather. It&#8217;s still sunny, but it&#8217;s definitely not the record highs that we have been having for the past month or so. I&#8217;m sad to see it go cause that means that rain is usually on it&#8217;s way over, especially on the west coast. Perhaps that&#8217;s why I got wrapped up so easily with something so simple.  Or maybe it&#8217;s the early mornings getting to me, I usually feel great until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon when BAM I get tired and sleepy. Starbucks iced coffees have become my new addiction this week lol! I like to get the actually iced coffee and not a fappe. I usually get it fat free and with sugar free caramel flavour. Mmmmmmm they are the best pick me up combined with a cool treat. Plus they are only 25 calories. LOL ok maybe that only matters to silly people like me who love to find a healthy treat. I actually feel quiet happy with myself when I am able to combine a treat with my healthy life style. </p>
<p>I find myself at adds with myself tonight. I want to go do something, anything but I have no idea what lol. In fact I don&#8217;t really have the drive to do anything. Perhaps my mind is on vaca this week lol <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  oh well it deserves a break too every once in a while right? I think it&#8217;s the perfect night to curl up with a hot cup of tea, a warm blanket, a cute puppy and a good book on the patio. I love the chance to just sit there and watch the world go by. (Did I seriously just say that lol! I feel like a grandma who just sits there and stares at her grandkids as they play thinking about the good old days lol). </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a early night for me cause I have a day of driving ahead of me. Me and a few friends are driving into the middle of no where to go camping. I&#8217;ve got to be up and packed and at my gf&#8217;s place for 8 am :/ yuck! then we figure 4 hours of driving and ta da a little piece of wilderness for us to explore. I&#8217;m really excited I haven&#8217;t been camping in about 2 years. I go every year (usually, at least I use to) and I love the chance to just chill out and sit back. If you don&#8217;t see me twittering that&#8217;s why. I&#8217;m afraid I am goign to go nuts without the internet but I&#8217;m treating this like it&#8217;s a cleanse of sorts. But instead of cleansing away excess crap in my system I&#8217;m cleansing myself of the techno world for about a day and a half. Wish me luck, hopefully I don&#8217;t have a melt down or something. JK it won&#8217;t happen <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Well boys and girls I am off to bed, have a killer weekend. Don&#8217;t do anything I wouldn&#8217;t do. I know that doesn&#8217;t leave very much but oh well lol</p>
<p>XoXoXo Katie </p>

Space&#8230; the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. To explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before&#8230;&#8230; o.0 What!! Aren&#8217;t I allowed to be a trekky too? </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if you all know this but there is a meteor shower happening right now! I think it&#8217;s still visible for about 2 or 3 more days so what are you waiting for? All you need is a hot cup of joe, a warm blanket, someone or something to cuddle and a dark clear patch of dirt to lay down on. The only draw back is that it&#8217;s best seen at 2am. Well there&#8217;s that and the skeeters that might get you lol. go to bed early and set an alarm to get up at 1 just so you can pop out and take a peak, it&#8217;s a really cool sight and who knows when we might get another chance to see it. (ok perhaps a few space fanatics would but I sure don&#8217;t) </p>
<p>I was lucky enough to of gone out this past weekend to the middle of literally butt f#%k no where and watch the meteor shower with a few friends. It was kind of spur of the moment. We were all sitting around after dinner around about 8 and decided that a meteor shower was the perfect amount of excitement that we needed. So off we went all cramming into the hottest car alive, a 1990 Dodge Shadow! complete with aerodynamic  adhesive tape to keep the sunroof from leaking yay!! (also known as duck tape LMFAO) we headed out to the most rural area we could find and drove around to find the perfect location. We pulled out all our blankets and sleeping bags, got all set up just to discover that regrettably  the best time for viewing is in fact  2 am. Which wouldn&#8217;t be for another 4 hours lol. Sooooo off to the movie theatre we went. We decided through a very devilish and ingenious forum of analysis (also know as it was the only one that hadn&#8217;t already started when we got there lol) to go see &#8216;the sorcerers apprentice&#8217;. Now it wasn&#8217;t a bad movie per say&#8230;. it was funny and corny. It was just rather childish in a very basic way. It was however the perfect way to waste time out in the middle of no where. Finally 1 am rolled around it was time to go find our special spot once again and watch.</p>
<p>As I lay there all wrapped in a warm sleeping bag cuddled up with Kinzie I couldn&#8217;t help but stare up at the nights sky and wonder. What&#8217;s out there in the far reaches of space? Are we all that there is in this big nothingness? Is there other life out there? Are they friendly? If the stars are what is directly above and around us, if we have seen what is between us and space, then where is heaven? Does it in fact exist? If so where? If it does not in fact exist then what happens to us when we die? Where do we go? what happens to us when we get there?</p>
<p> All of these plus many more questions floated through my head as I lay there surrounded by warmth, love and friendship. I felt very small in size, yet at the same time I felt that my thoughts and ideas were growing exponentially. I guess I&#8217;m not the first person to sit beneath the stars and ponder the heavens, the earth and beyond. Now back at home sitting at my little computer writing this blog, I can&#8217;t help but still wonder. Is it all a lie? Who&#8217;s right? Does science win out because it has more solid proof? Is heaven a myth? Or are they both right and wrong at the same time?</p>
<p> All I know is there is way to much speculations circling this world for us to ignore. I worry that to write off all that is speculated as false is foolish, dangerous and perhaps self destructive. The Mayan&#8217;s calendar speaks of the ending of the world, of the worlds transformation as we know it, come 2012. They&#8217;re ruins depict aliens and space travel, how could they know of this stuff? All I know is that there are an offaly lot of unanswered, unexplained questions and phenomenons out there. I can&#8217;t help but wonder and question my own knowledge of the world.</p>
<p> Sorry guys I know I just got a little deep and philosophical on you all, but I can&#8217;t help but have these questions still floating through my head a few days later. Either way I guess we will all find out soon enough what is meant to be. I simply believe that what will be will be, just life each day to the fullest and never ever leave something unsaid. No matter how hard or embarrassing it is to say to someone, if you love them then tell them everyday.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just finishing up some house work and trying to tidy up a bit here and there. It&#8217;s way too Fing hot in my place to even think about moving, let alone caming. So sorry boys n girls no MFC today <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  But not to worry I will be on early tomorrow morning around 10am pst <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Watch my twitter for the final say. Don&#8217;t forget I have my FREE members chat tonight at 10 pm est. Be there or be square <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

I assure you I actually do provide food and water for Kinzie on a daily bases. In fact I feed her multiple times a day and she always has a full water dish awaiting her drinking needs. But apparantly that is just not good enough for her, apparently mom&#8217;s tastes better or looks better or whatever lol <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Not only did she drink my water (which by the way I finished off when she was done. I know what your thinking and NO!!! it&#8217;s not grouse, after all she licks my face when she gives me kisses almost 100x a day lol) but she also broke the two paw max rule. That&#8217;&#8217;s right she is only allowed to place two paws on the counter or kitchen  when sitting on my lap. But I let her down easy considering she just looked so darn cute drinking from my glass <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  what can I say I&#8217;m just a big softy at heart. </p>
<p> Today was a day of sorts lol I spent the morning running errands that amounted to nothing, everything I tried to do ended up not working out or ended up being unneeded lol oh well it was an adventure nun the less. Despite my lack of effectiveness this morning I was still in good spirits because by the time I got home it was SUNNY!!!! Finally I know we only had rain for about 4 days but still those 4 days felt like a life time when they come in the middle of summer. </p>
<p>I had an awesome afternoon spent on MFC hanging out with a few of my fabulous members and making a few new friends. Thanks to everyone for keeping me company and thank you KBfan for being so awesome <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  If you didn&#8217;t get a chance to hang out or get a little one on one fun don&#8217;t worry I am going back on tomorrow around 11:30 am pst. I&#8217;ll see you all then <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>For now I am headed out for a sunny summer night stroll with my favourite little chihuahua and my fav cute big breasted blond. (No unfortunately it&#8217;s not Monroe Lee, I wish. But just as good is my gf <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>XoXoXo</p>

Well what to do what to do? It&#8217;s a rather muggy cold rainy day here which means that outdoor shooting is out for the weekend <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Poohie! I was looking forward to a little naked espionage <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Now that I am stuck indoors for the weekend I am left with the daunting question of what to do what to do? Now I know what I should be doing right now (laundry, clean the house, grocery shopping, bath the dog, ect.) but that is certainly not what I want to do. It is on days like this when I wish I could whip out the N64 and race mario to death lol! Or defeat a few monsters while riding into the sunset as Zelda. But alas my N64 does not hook up to my projector <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  I really need to get out there and get myself a new system but then that means that I might actually need to choose one&#8230;.. hmmmm any ideas? I really liked my brother&#8217;s Xbox360, but I hear that a PS3 is pretty killer. Although there is always Wii, I do love my mario brothers&#8230;.. hmmmm </p>
<p> What I really need to do is find myself a copy of heros of might and magic for my mac! I loved that game, I was secretly addicted for like a good 2 years but sadly once I switched to macs I had to give up my little world of magic and warcraft for well&#8230;.. nothing so far. It&#8217;s a good thing that I have been reading everything in site lately or I would be soooo bored.</p>
<p> I&#8217;m headed to my aunty&#8217;s house tonight for a little bite to eat and a chance to catch up, hopefully that means not too many glasses of wine lol sometimes she can get a little carried away. My cousin (her daughter) is down and just so happens to be 8 months pregnant. Wow! it&#8217;s so funny to see people who you pictured as never having kinds preggers lol, especially when they roll out of their tyberon (I might have spelt that one wrong ooops sorry guys <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) she cracks me up though. We were in costco the other day and some guy came up beside her and called out to his wife or who ever oh hey look there&#8217;s the prego! I think she almost lost it lol. She was about ready to slug the guy when she turned around and saw Prego pasta sauce right behind her. OMFG the look on her face was absolutely priceless.  </p>
<p>Well I guess I better hop in the shower and get my butt a moving here before I&#8217;m late, god knows I don&#8217;t want to keep a pregnant mom of 8 months waiting to eat <img src='http://katiebanks.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  jk lol</p>
<p> Have a killer weekend everyone and don&#8217;t forget to be safe </p>
<p>Ehugs and Ekisses</p>
<p> Katie </p>
