Day 1-Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts

Why, hello. If you're here you have probably seen my blog before and know a little bit about me, but here are some random (maybe interesting) facts to get reacquainted!

01. I love Macy's. I don't need any other store for clothing. I would be completely content there.
02. I know Vera Bradley is for old ladies, but I love it. I try to spread the love by giving Vera Haters some printed totes, but they aren't always met with excitement!
03. I like to read the newspaper. Yes, the actual printed newspaper that gets delivered to my doorstep.
04. On that same token, I like to clip coupons. It's kind of fun and becomes a game for me... just what exactly can I get for cheap this week?
05. I'm addicted to Daily Deal and Sample Sale Websites. 6pm.com, Woot, Target's Daily Deals, Rue La La, Ideeli.... oh goodness. I wish I could learn how to block those sites!
06. I love Coke Zero (but am trying to stay away from sodas lately).
07. I am getting married in 129 days. AHHHHHHHHHHH
08. I always thought I was a very organized person, but I'm (apparently) not. My office is a mess, my purse is cluttered, my car is a wreck... When did I lose control? (Maybe it's the graduate school classes or the wedding planning?)
09. I like to give gifts--even if I don't get anything in return. In fact, sometimes I'd rather not get anything in return...some people are just bad gift givers! Is that bad to say? I would rather just not get anything than something I can't use. Hey, I'm being honest! ;)
10. I may not follow every sport faithfully, but I love to watch games in person or on TV. Baseball is my favorite.
11. I like postcards--especially ones related to vintage advertising or alcohol.
12. I also like cardboard coasters--the kind you find in bars and restaurants. I don't know why I've taken a liking to them recently, but I find them neat. (Side note: Someone sent me a beer coaster POSTCARD the other day and it blew my mind. Must. find. those.)
13. I've never seen snow.
14. I hate to fly (I think it has to do with me not being in control).
15. Seeing live music somewhere (even if it's the worst local band in a dark bar) is my favorite thing to do on a weekend.


Day 2-Meaning behind your blog name

There's not much to know! I wanted something that began with a 'K' that could describe a random hodgepodge blog. Kitsch worked perfectly!

Your wedding is almost here! We have a ton of cardboard coasters for Smithwick's beer. I need to send you some. Random that you work at USF. What do you do there?

So glad that you are participating! I too am a VB fanatic...I have a backpack that I use for school and my purse is VB! Looking forward to seeing your answers over the next 30 days! Just wanted to let you know too that I am going to be putting a linky up for each day, that we can all see each other's answers!

OMG you've never seen snow?! How crazy! I want to like Vera Bradley but I haven't yet :(

Have you ever seen the coaster that is about dating.. You check off boxes that pertain to the person you give the coaster to. I saw it in a bar once and you literally can pass it to the hottie next to you and have it checked off like I'm ___, I like blah blah blah, I'm here for drinks, I'm ready to party.
