Pictures of Katie Doll

     I guess I missed all the excited by working from home today. Larry called me and told me that building security, the police and the Division Manager converged on Colin, the department manager for our branches accounting. Rumor is that when the CFO was let go, there was a full audit of the accounting and in that, they found over $100,000 missing from our division. That is why they had to audit interviews two weeks ago, they were looking for the missing money. Colin was fired and escorted from the building and arrested. My understanding is that the company will be pressing charges and will probably be suing for the missing money. I feel sorry for Colin's wife and 2 year old daughter. Cheers for now

    I was so slammed today at work. I had back to back proposal presentations and meetings. I was glad that someone had brought doughnuts and muffin in as I didn't have time for lunch. I am definitely going to have to hit the gym hard as this is not good for my figure.    The NYPD called. They told me that one of my kidnappers was talking and with the unlocked phone I provided, it didn't look like there were going to need to me to fly back and testify. That is fine with me as long as they get locked up for a long time. My sister called me tonight just to see if I was doing okay. She also told me that the man that I incapacitated was actually in her hospital. She had to excuse herself during rounds. There was a little raised eyes until she explained why and then they all understood. I told her about my date with Lee and that I was making him dinner. We talked most of the evening. It was good to hear her voice. Cheers for now.

     After work tonight, I meet up with my girls for dinner and drinks. They were all enthralled in my telling of my kidnapping. After a while, the topic changed to our love lives and work lives. It was a fun evening and it was great to catch up again. Later that evening, Lee called and we talked late into the night. I told him all about my experience. He asked me how much they wanted for me and for some reason, I lied to him and told him it was for $250,000. He doesn't know who my parents are or how much they are worth. It just didn't feel right to tell him. I don't know why. I kind of feel bad for lying to him and I really don't know why I did it. Sadly, he had to cancel our dinner plans for tomorrow night, but instead he is coming to my house on Friday night and I will make him dinner. Cheers for now

     I have to say that I am actually glad for work today. After last week, it is nice to get back to a routine. It also helped that work was really busy. Although I went on vacation, my work did not. I had so many proposal and reports to review, plus a ton of emails. I ended up skipping lunch and eating some of the junk food I keep in my desk. To make up for my bad eating today, I had a nice big salad for dinner. As soon as I got home, my Uncle Bob called, just to make sure I was doing okay after being kidnapped last week. I assured him I was fine. It was nice to talk to him, but he had to cut the call short as he had an overseas call to make. It was nice of him to check in on me. I did call Lee and although he couldn't talk long (work), I did tell him that I had been kidnapped. We are having dinner on Wednesday so I can tell him all about it. Cheers for now.    

       Okay buddy, I ran you ID and you have outstanding warrants. I have to take you in. So, up against the wall, feet back and spread 'em. Look, now that I have these cuffs on you, we can do it the easy way or the hard way. Who else wants to be arrested? Cheers for now.

       I can't say this hasn't been an interesting week. I am glad to finally be going home. My sister had been apologizing, blaming herself saying it was supposed to be her and not me. However, I am glad it was me and not her. I am her big sister after all and it my job to look after her. I guess that is what siblings do for each other, try to look after the other.   As I sit here at the airport, waiting for my flight, I realize that "insult to injury" part of this entire kidnapping is that I had wanted to spend time with my friends and now won't get to. I wanted to go to Rhode Island and spend the day with Lara and do that clothes shopping we talked about. I wanted to have dinner with Eren and Rosanna and introduce them to my sister who lives in the same city. I also wanted to go into Jersey and try some the "best" coffee in the world with Tasha_Maire and Alex . Sadly, I was literally tied up and I just didn't have the time. I guess I will have

       I will admit that when i got up in the morning, I did not want to leave the apartment. I was feeling a bit scared to go out into the streets of NYC. I think my mom sensed that I was afraid and insisted that I go out with the entire family today to site see. I am a 28 year old woman who still cannot say no to her mother. As we started out, I was a bit jumpy and always looking over my shoulder. However, by noon, as I was eating a hot dog from Nathan's and laughing with my family, much of my fear was gone. I had such a wonderful day with my family as we explored New York City. I am glad that I went.  The police did call to tell me that thanks to the phone I gave them (with passcode), there were able to find pics of the other two as well as of the van. With that, Boston PD had no problem finding and arresting the other two. They also told me that the man I subdued was talking and that I was free to fly home tomorrow and that they would be in contact if they need me. Cheers for n

  Hello everyone. As you can see, I managed to free myself. This morning my three kidnappers were arguing about who was going to leave and who was to stay. As such, the one who was tying me to the chair wasn't paying attention and didn't notice that my ankle was loose. I was able to free my right foot. I then waited for my chance. Later that morning, after two of them left, the remaining one brought me my lunch. He untied my hands so I could eat. I figured this was my chance and when he said with an evil stare, "I am going to have my way with you, and no one is going to stop me." I looked at him and replied, "Great, that will be the best 5 seconds of my life, assuming I can feel anything that small." His eyes filled with anger, as he backhanded me, causing me to spill my tray of food. He then leaned in close and said something about how I would feel it. He was now close enough to me. I punched him in the Adam's Apple as hard as I could. His eyes went wid

    Kayla: We found out today that the kidnappers want to do the exchange in a park in Boston on Friday. Dad spent the day calling banks, working on getting the money. The police tried to re-assure us saying that, given that they are in communication with us and that we are going to pay them, then there was a good chance that Katie will come out of this okay. I can't say that reassured me very much. I have done a lot of thinking and am wondering if I am in the right profession. As a doctor, I have taken an oath to "Do no harm." Yet, all I want to do to those kidnappers is harm them. I both think about and fear, that they should come to my hospital in need of care, planning all the ways, given my medical knowledge, that I could make them suffer the most. Could I provide them care or would I given in and do them harm. I have gotten very little sleep the past few days because all the thinking I have been doing. In truth though, I just want my sister back.

       Kayla: I have an update on Katie, and it is not good. She has been kidnapped! Late last night, my parents received this message and picture: Mr. and Mrs. Doll. We have your daughter, Kayla. If you want to see her again, you will pay us $50 million. We will be in contact with instructions on the exchange. My parents took a company jet and are here already. My dad has been working with the police all morning. I feel terrible because it is all my fault that they took her. They were expecting to take me. That should me and not Katie. It is all my fault.

  Kayla: Hello everyone, I am Katie's sister Kayla. Sorry to post like this but I am really worried as Katie is missing. Katie got here in New York City on Saturday and we had fun on Sunday. However, I had to work today so she was going to go to Time Square on her own. We were supposed to meet back up on my apartment after work, however she is not here. I have called and texted, but she is not returning my calls. I have called all the ERs to see if anyone matching her description was there, but, thankfully, no one that matched her description. I have called my parents too. If any of you in the New York City area and you see her, please tell her to call her sister. I am so worried about her.

       Hello, Wednesday Addams here. I have to say that summer camp is so boring. The only fun was when a squirrel had gotten into some apples that had fermented, and got drunk on them. He then proceed to run through the fire, catching his tale on fire.   He then ran into the counselors building, causing it to burn to the ground. I thought it was pretty funny, but apparently trying toast marshmallows on the fire was in "bad taste." I am just glad to be back home with my family, even if Pugsly is driving me crazy. Cheers for now

 I am off to see my sister in New York City. I am so excited to see here. She is supposed to have the week off so we can do all the tourist things and see all the sights. I told my sister that I wanted warm and dry weather for my visit but I don't think she took me seriously. I really want to see all the sights like Time Square, Broadway, Statue of Liberty, Coney Island, Kat's Deli, Nathans and try to take in a Broadway show. I also want to visit some friends that I have that live near by. I know I have a lot planned so I will see what I can fit in to a week. Cheers for now

      Tonight was so much fun. We had the team building event and everyone decided to go to a local arcade place called Wahooz. They had all kinds of fun activities like go cart racing and laser tag. It was great seeing all my employees and their families. We started the evening on the go carts and ended playing laser tag. The kids all seemed to enjoy shooting me. I sure my over acting of being hit helped that. I found out at the end of the evening that they all ganged up on me. That was okay as it was so much fun. A couple of my staff tried to help pay, but I reminded them that the sales department was paying. It was great seeing all the smiles and hearing the laughter.   Cheers for now.

      Today was my last round of dealing with the auditors. Today it was the procurement team. Again, they went over every penny and every day off that was taken. I don't know what they are looking for but if they don't find it, it won't because they didn't look hard enough for it. I am glad I am done with the audit. I spent the rest of the day getting as much done and getting ready for me being on vacation next week.   I talked with my sister tonight. We are both excited for my visit to New York City on Saturday. We plan on doing all the tourist thing and eating way too much good food.    Cheers for now.

Happy Valentine's Day. I have to admit that I was feeling pretty bummed when I got up. The idea that I would not be spending the evening with my sweetie. My spirits did pick up when Lee sent me a dozen of roses. They were beautiful. It also helped as I was very busy. When I got home, I didn't feel like cooking so I ordered some Chinese food. I did try to call Lee but he didn't answer. This was not my best Valentine's Day. I will make sure Lee makes this up to me.  Cheers for now

       So the audit has begun. I spent most of the day in a conference room going over the proposal team's numbers. I was surprised how deep they went into the numbers. I had to account for every last penny. They did try to raise an issue about our team building event we are having this Friday. They questioned why it was for the employees and their families. I finally shut them up when I pointed out that the sales team was paying. They took notes but stopped pressing the issue. I felt drained when I finally got out of that meeting. The best part is I get to do it again on Thursday. When I got home, I called Lee and we talked. Sadly, he told me that he could not go to dinner with me on Valentine's Day. He said he has to work late. I told him that he could come over after work, regardless of how late, but he said he was going to sleep at the office as it was probably going to be an all-nighter. I am bummed but I understand. He said he was going to make it up to me on Friday night

   First thing this morning, I was called into a management meeting. There is a company wide audit going on. I have to sit with the auditors and go over the books and account for every penny.      Since I have two teams, I will meet with them twice this week. I have to gather all accounts, budgets and hours for all my staff. This is going to be a long week as I still have to get my normal work done.   Cheers for now.

       Being a super hero and a mom can be so trying. Having to balance taking care of my husband, raising my kids and saving the city, I feel like I don't have any "me" time      I wonder if we can take vacation? Can super heroes take time off? Even a simple spa day would do wonders for my aching body. Anyway, I need to get back to work. I guess I will get a day off when crime takes a day off. Cheers for now

      Today was book club. Due to scheduling issues, we didn't have one in January. This month, the book was Ray Bradury's Fahrenheit 451. It was a really good book and even though it was written in 1953, it seemed to have a lot to say about today. It is about a world where there are no more fires (as everything is make of flame resistant material). However, book have become illegal. Fire departments, instead of putting out fires, now burn books. It is really interesting how some people resist these book burning. If you have not read it, I would recommend it. Cheers for now

       All day long at work, all I could think of was my date this evening with Lee. We were going to very nice hotel and I had my gown all picked out. However, on my way home, Lee called and said he had to cancel our plans. His work needed him to work this evening. I told him he could come over when he was done with work, but he said he would need to work all night. I would be lying if I said I wasn't bummed, but I told him I understand. I guess it will be an evening of Cheetos, Wine and Netflix. Cheers for now
