Usually I'm not this much of a nerd

I have many friends saying this to me today...LOL Reason for nerdiness: I {heart} Daughtry. I've been a fan since his very first audition on American Idol! They will be here in town on the 14th and I am SO DYING TO MEET THEM that I have put myself into a radio contest on Facebook. Oh the shame, I know. LOL It's so funny reading all the stuff on the C95 page. So, if you want to enable my nerdiness, go to the C95 page on Facebook HERE. "Like" them and then write on the wall that Kate Kading sent you!

So this is Cary Howe from C95. The man with the power. Send him an e-mail at chowe@rawlco.com and tell him how crazy I am!

Maybe I should scrapbook something for Cary the DJ. You think that would get me any closer? :0)

To Catch a Crook

Finally, our cloak and dagger capers have contributed to our cause. We confronted the charm criminal and continued to be cordial.

Courteously asking for this cruel course of crime to cease. It quickly turned crooked and copious amounts of crude, childish fisticuffs ensued.

Char has criminal charisma but we have considerable clout.
Charm victory is ours!
Now to cart her off to where she can never again contrive charm chaos. The poor gal, she needs some Saucy-therapy in her life.

Saucy Strikes Back

Dear Crazy Lady (aka Char if that is indeed your real name because if I were a CHARmed crazed criminal I suppose I would call myself Char),

This is Saucy, who has taken over Kate's blog! Yes, that's right! Saucy knows how to do these things too! The only difference between Char and Saucy is that Saucy uses her powers for good, not for evil! You have met your match, Char (and again Saucy thinks that is an assumed name and your real name is that of a true criminal... perhaps it is Bonnie, Clyde or Martha!)

Saucy demands that you return Kate's bracelet at once! This act of inhumanity will not stand! Normally Saucy does not negotiate with terrorists (and by terrorists she means the average tantrum-throwing three year old) but this case demands a certain type of justice that only Saucy herself can administer!

Therefore, for the next 24 hours there will be, in a (separately disclosed to Kate) secret location, one replacement charm bracelet that Saucy demands you retrieve and then willingly surrender Kate's prize possession to her. If this act is not completed within 24 hours from the time of this post, Saucy will hunt you down and make you over!

Sincerely,
Saucy
aka Your Worst Nightmare

PS. You might want to lay low for a while!
PPS. That means stay clear of Winners!
PPPS. Because that's where Saucy hangs out!
PPPPS. She's got her eye on you!

Char's Crafty Comeback

Apparently you aren't above some criminal corruption yourself Kate. That was a chancy, cold-blooded move my courageous friend. Too bad you were not clever enough to come across your cherished charm bracelet in the ever changing convenient nooks and crannies I have contrived.

Check it out.

I checked out the message from Saucy and comprehend your concern. Medication would be celebrated in my complex condition. I will accept this in the form of cupcakes and charms. Or the bracelet gets chopped.

Kate the Charm Crimebuster

The boys and I are cavorting {somewhat criminally} this cheery Wednesday morning. We are trying to catch up with Char the corrupt criminal who craves charms and cupcakes. Our caper begins cleverly. Are we covert enough to catch this crusader?

The crude credit card method coaxes us into Char's castle.
Confronted by Chloe! Char's cruel {possibly contaminated} cannibal cohort.
We conjure our calm and courteously continue on our way. Can we catch her?

Curses! She's escaped!

We were not covert enough to catch Char and deal her a copious amount of consequences...this time. This corruption shall not continue. We will conquer this charismatic criminal. Stay tuned.

BLOG HELD HOSTAGE BY CRAZED WOMAN IN NEED OF CHARMS AND CUPCAKES

Ooooo, I hope Kate is ok with this!

This is Char. No last name needed as I don't wish to incriminate myself further. As you can see, Kate and I have been friends, oh, forever. And for most of those years I thought she was crazy. She bakes, she scrapbooks, she tells me all about her crafty friends. I can appreciate the work but think WHY? I am on Weight Watchers and *shouldn't* eat cupcakes and I don't like to glue things. Kate makes me scrappy stuff so I don't have to. But I DO love holidays. And all the Martha-ness that goes with them. So I went a little out of my head (probably due to the lack of sugar) when I saw the "Saucy" charm bracelets and cupcakes. I swiped...er...um borrowed said charm bracelet in a Halloween decorating frenzy that left me with a crippling injury(I have had my decorations up for 3 weeks already). Channeling Martha herself, I was precariously perched on a dining room chair reaching high above my head to hang autumn leaves in my entrance when the chair leg slipped off the step and I pitched down the stairs a$$-first. Don't worry, the large bannister post at the bottom broke my fall. No seasonal pun intended there, believe me. It just goes to show what a diehard Halloween decorator I am and mark my words I did not learn my lesson as I will be on the same chair the day after Halloween putting up my Christmas decorations. Sprained toe (which required stitches they couldn't give me), crutches, huge scrape and bruise to match on my back, sore hip, leg bruises, and ego damage not withstanding. So Saucy, you have now offically met the BIGGEST decoration fan out there and I NEEEEEEEED one of your bracelets. Taking Kate's blog hostage was my moment of temporary insanity. As Kate said, everyone needs a little Sauciness in their life. Hope her husband doesn't arrest me for this one. xox

Oh the HUMANITY

WANTED:

The person who stole my gorgeous charm bracelet out from under my nose. Oh, you know who you are. I used to feed your fish and THIS is how you repay me? I know what you look like in the morning lady and I am NOT afraid to reveal those details right here on my blog. Everyone needs a little Sauciness in their life but stealing it is NOT the way. You need to turn yourself in before this gets ugly.

Signed,

Me.
