Day 267: READING RAINBOW

Well guess what? I finished the book I started. Only took me less than a day to read. Haven't done that in awhile. Haven't read a book that kept me that entertained, and this book definitely did.

The next book I read will be Mr. Maybe.

I don't like to judge books by their covers, but ima judging this one.

I dont like covers that look kinda like a hoochie and this one certainly does, but I'm going to read it and see if I like it.

Day 266: 100 more days

I only have 100 more days to blog including this one.

My last one was lame, but I really didn't feel like writing. It was a long day and my foot hurt because I did something to it and I worked and I just wanted to go to sleep.

Today my bum foot felt much better, I got to spend time with Bekah and went to the library. Not that I really needed any more books, because I still have a ton left to read. I just figured I would save those for christmas break, because believe me I will get bored. Anyways, I got three books. I'm reading Tall Tales and Wedding Veils. So freaking precious. It's funny though because the character is described as the following: Dark curly hair that she tries to iron down, chubby, light blue eyes that people always comment on, a bump in her nose, never had to have braces, and lets not forget... lives in Plano Texas. I must say that this girl sounds a little like me. I just hope that this is my future being written out, because shoot, I need an attractive cowboy to take my breath away!

Alright, I better get to bed. I have work in the A.M.

99 more blogs to go!!! Holy crap. What am I to do with myself?

Day 265: HMM

WHAT SHOUL I POST TODAY?

Day 264: Inspiration to write

So today I found out that one of my friends in my class has written 4 books. Not published, but in the process of maybe getting published.

I'm pretty sure she is telling me the truth, and I'm pretty sure that that is freaking amazing! Where do I get that kind of motivation to do that?!

She told me she took off a semester of school because she just had this brilliant idea and wanted to write. It was incredible. I need some inspiration please? Oh! And more time with less distractions!

Day 263: Um. Random much?

Can I just say that I'm ready for winter?

I'm done with this heat...then again I don't want another iceapocalypse. I miss oregon and the amazing weather, the beautiful scenery and my family.

Can't you tell that i'm still in my hiking mood?

There really aren't any places here, which sucks!

I can now run two miles now straight without dying. It's amazing. I'm so glad to be back at the gym. I still eat a lot, but at least I'm working out right?

My computers going slow.

I'm so very random right now.

Sorry.

Day 262: Did I jinx myself?

This morning while I was getting ready for school, I noticed that my full glass of water was sitting on my desk next to laptop, computer and ipod. Lukas was over today and sometimes he gets on my computer and I didn't want to risk the water spilling all over everything, so I moved my cup into the kitchen then I grabbed my water bottle and I was out the door.

When I got to school I got out of the car, put on my backpack and went walking to class. Today was an over cast day and surprisingly 93 felt like a cool 80 compared to the 100 and something we've had recently. As I was walking, I felt that my butt was starting to get wet. No way was it hot enough that I was sweating and definitely not on my bum. Suddenly realizing that it was coming from my backpack I took it off and looked inside. When I looked inside there was a pool in my back pack and swimming in there was my French book, my notebook, my pens, my notes and the bottled water that flooded my back pack.

What a great start to the day.

So, do you think I jinxed myself?

Day 261: long day

Test. School. Work.

But I love this!

Day 260: Feist day

Work. Work. Work. Study. Study. Study.

That has what my day has consisted of.

It's also been kind of a feist day.

Just enjoy.

And wish me good luck for my french test!

Day 259: Vacaycay.

I'm amazed by how fast today has gone by. Not only today, but this whole month. I can't believe it's almost August. Last year during this time, I was getting ready to go to Florida. It's even amazing to think how fast this year has gone! It's just flown by. I wish I was going to Florida again, or on some vacation. I miss vacations. Like an actual vacation, not a 'family' trip or a weekend get away, but a vacation to some place exotic, to experience a new culture and live it.

I wish I didn't love traveling so much, because thinking about it makes me too excited and then when reality hits and I realize I can't go anywhere my heart is crushed.

New topic

I want to start hiking. As of late, I have become uber earthy and I want to be outside all the time. Although having the worst case of allergies doesn't help, but I still yearn to be outside and productive, so I thought why not start hiking?

Why do I feel like no one ever reads this anymore.

Hello?! Anyone out there!?

Day 258: The unexpected

• So naturally, the one day that I am able to sleep in, I wake up at 8. And, I'm talking wide awake. So, that was something unexpected.
• Another unexpected thing happened to me today while I was at the gym. While I was running, I felt completely rejuvenated and ran two miles straight. I haven't ran two miles in months. It felt great.
• Lastly, today at work is pay day, so I got my check. When I looked (no I didn't have a huge paycheck) I saw that I had been given a 35 cent raise!

Sometimes I like the unexpected.

Day 257: Je suis fatigué

Monday. French test. Not excited.

J'ai tellement de choses à faire étudier. Cette classe a été si précipité,j'espère que je peux bien faire. Je veux commencer la randonnée, ne pas étudier le français. Je veux parler français lors d'une randonnée.Cela sonne bien.

Day 256: SORE

Ow. Ouch. Ooh. Ow!

My body is so sore! I think I pushed it a little too far, but you know what?! I'm back to the point where I'm excited to go to the gym everyday, so I don't care! Tomorrow I wont be able to go because of school and work, but all day I have been trying to rearrange plans, so that I can maybe fit in a 30 minute work out or something. I like it.

I've missed that feeling.

I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day in general, so I probably wont be able to work out... but that's probably a good thing because I need to let my body rest.

Even though I'm so sore, I'm so wired right now. I need to go to sleep, but there is just no way. I'm too hyper.

Side note: For my book club, I think i'm going to read hunger games... just because this book has been blowing up every where and I heard it was good.

Alright im gonna go.

Day 255: Book club Blog?

I finished yet another romance novel today. Those books are just too addicting. Good plot line, great characters, love, romance, everything that isn't reality.

I want to write one though. Well, a book. Any kind of book, I just want to write something. But since I've read so many romance novels I think I could master those though.

I've started one. Wrote about 9 pages. A couple of days and I could write about 9 more. That's just how fast I am. I'll probably need to keep reading more books though. There are a bunch that I still have to read and even more that I want to read that I don't have.

I kind of want to start a little book club on this blog. Like after I read a book, I'll write about what I think of it, what could have been better, that kind of stuff. I wouldn't do it often, just every once in a while. I wish that you could join me. And no, I wouldn't just be reading romance novels, but other kinds of novels as well.

I'd also love it if you gave me recommendations! Please do so!

Day 254: Lynn

I just got on and noticed my aunt Lynn posted a few blogs.

Here's her blog if you are curious: http://lynnpadrian.blogspot.com/

Lynn, I don't know if you read these or not, but if you do, I have to say that you are the most gracious, brave, inspiring, encouraging person I have ever met. You see things that others don't and that is a very special, and very meaningful. I'm a very lucky lady to have you as my aunt. Your words, your thoughts, your ideas make me want to be a better person and create something magical. Just hearing your name gives me hope and courage to create something because I know i'll have you there behind me every step of the way. I miss you a lot and cannot wait for your play to be finished! Keep blogging and keep me updated! And just so you know, I'm there behind you every step of the way!

P.s. I love you very much.

Day 253: Home

I'm back home.

Exhausted from a long drive home, but I'm back.

I'm actually in bed now. My allergies are kicking my butt, so I'm going to go to sleep.

Day 251: Made it!

I made it to San Antonio. Luckily my phone had a gps! Woot woot.
Yestereday was a long and eventful day! So happy I get to see Erica, meet her friends and see's how she spends her time here.
Today I we are going to see Harry Potter! Bittersweet.
Alright, that's really all I have to say.

Day 250: On my way

I'm on my way to see my best friend! So flipping exciting.

The next few blogs will be short because i'll be doing them from my phone i'm sure.

Any who, I have to finish getting ready and then i'm off! :)

Hopefully I don't get lost though, because I don't have a GPS.

man I miss those things!

Day 249: SAN ANTONIO!!

Tomorrow I will be seeing you!

I have a crap to do, so this will be short.

One more day until san antonio.

Gotta finish packing,

doing my homework,

go to work, go to sleep and hopefully leave early to see miss ERICA JONES!!!!!

Oh, and her boyfriend Harry Potter.

Okay, I am done.

Man, I want a nap.

Tata.

Day 248: Long day

God this day feels like eternity. And tomorrow I'm going to have to do it all over again. Plus packing, minus cleaning.

I'm just too exhausted to even write anything right now.

I feel like my brain is planning too many thing for me to even focus writing tonight.

So goodnight everyone.

Day 247: Little baby

Day 2 of summer school is over. Only 19 more days to go.

It's also the last night i'll be alone, which is weird. I've missed my family, but I've also really enjoyed being by myself. This week has just made me want to be on my own that much more, but I'm still a little baby who needs to depend on her parents. That's so frustrating to me because I don't want to. I wan't to be able to stand on my own, but there is no way right now. I have no money what's so ever to buy a car, move out or even start to pay back my dad for school...yet. But I will.

But before all my dreams come true, I need to go water the plants, get the mail, finish my laundry, vacuum, dishes, homework, work out and hopefully read my book!

So, if you'll excuse me, I'm off.

Day 246: Summer school

I haven't had much sleep lately, I'm pretty exhausted, but I had a good first day at summer school.

Of course as soon as I walked in and sat down, my teacher ONLY spoke french. All of us, students, just sat there with blank faces. Five minutes into the class my teacher, who I had last semester, said, "Katelan blah blah blah...." All in french of course and I thought she was calling me out and I was supposed to answer. My friend next to me uttered "Uh oh, being called out all ready!" After my teacher noticed how confused I looked, she said in english "Your extra credit last semester was excellent!"

At that point, I felt extremely confident I will do well these next 5 weeks of class!

Day 245: A day late

I was so busy yesterday I forgot to blog :(

But I think updating at 7 in the morning counts because I'm never up this early ever.

SUMMER SCHOOL IS TODAY!

BLAHHHH!

5 weeks of this and then back to real school. Kill me now.

Day 244: Goodbye summer

Oof. I only have one more day before I start summer school. Goodbye summer :(

The last night of summer, I'm at home watching Eclipse. What can I say? There is nothing else on! But in all honestly, I liked today.

I worked a little bit outside, watered the plants, took out the trash, did the dishes, vacuum, worked out for an hour, finished my book and now i'm here watching Eclipse typing this.

Doesn't seem like a lot, but the day really flew by.

Hopefully so will summer school!

Day 243: Sneaky sneaky robbery

Did you hear about the man that just walked out with a Picasso painting!?

Let me paint you a picture, ha.... Well some man in San Francisco, Mark Lugo, walked into a gallery a took Picasso's "Tete de Femme" and just nonchalantly walked out. Luckily, they caught him on surveillance, found out who he was and arrested him. The drawing is worth about 200,000 dollars. Sneaky sneaky man.

It amazed me that he just walked right on out. Like no big deal. I'm glad they found him though because a piece of art should be appreciated not stolen.

Did you also hear about Casey Anthony getting released in a week!? Because she has already served 2 years and because she has been good, apparently she will be released from jail July 13. It's very frustrating, because I personally believe that she is guilty, but that's not why I bring Casey Anthony up because she doesn't even deserved to be talked about. Even if it is in a condescending way. What I want to bring up is the petition that is going around to enact the Caylee's Law. The law will make it a felony for a parent or guardian to not notify the law enforcement of a child going missing in a timely manner.

http://www.change.org/petitions/create-caylees-law

I signed it. Hopefully you will too.

Day 242: Chill day.

Just a chill day. Brandie is over and we are just watching movies. While the rents are away, brandie is gonna stay over for a bit, which is nice.

Although we ordered a pizza last night and I ate most of it. So disturbing how much I can eat. I need to really stop that. AT LEAST I worked out for an hour on my moms machine.

Random note: I kind of want to tie dye again! Is that sad how much I love it?

Maybe I will later tonight.

OOh man. I also start school on monday! Not really looking forward to it.

Day 241: Camera

I'm sure you can only imagine how upset I was this afternoon when I was headed off to the gym and I realized that my workout card is on my keychain on its way heading for Indiana!

How disappointing. I had all my workout gear on, my ipod ready, and I was pumped! I totally forgot to get my card before my mom left for Indiana. Now I have to use the lame machine at my house and or go running outside in 95 degree heat. Oh well, that'll have to do for a week. Such a bummer though!

On another note I really want to get this camera. I miss having one. Especially this one! The Nikon Coolpix s9100!

It's only $300 and something.

Hey, dad... can I has my birthday money!? :)

Day 240: ateee so many oreo's

As you can see from the title I haven't been doing very well with eating right. It's so annoying. Eating is my weakness.

I keep saying that I need to go to the gym and going once a week is not okay. I need to get back on track. Something hit me today and made me realize what I forgot in the first place. It hit me really hard and that's exactly what I needed. Gym, here I come! Get ready for me because I'm going to be seeing you 4 to 5 times a week! !!

:)

Day 239: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

Happy fourth of July everyone!

Unfortunately this fine evening I will be working, but at least the family is over now.

A little swimming and grillin.

You know, the fourth of july hasn't really been an exiting holiday for me as of late. These last few years I've either been working, or chilling at home doing not much.

I miss seeing those explosions burst over the bay when I would visit Wisconsin or having the whole family together shooting off those tiny little fireworks in the street while lounging in lawn chairs watching. Those were the days!

Well I might as well join the family for a swim!

HAPPY FOURTH!

Day 238: I want to go hiking

12. Queen Charlotte Track, New Zealand

13. Mountains of the Moon, Uganda

Maybe someday I can do these! Hopefully at least one of these!

Day 237: Short and SImple

What can I write about?!

I worked all day and played Minecraft all night.

Not a very exciting blog.

But I had a wonderful day.

Day 236: Hyper

Guess who's going to tie dye again!? This girl!

Lukas has been on my butt about it and mom thought that it would be cute if Ross, her and Lukas matched while they did the zip lines.

I'm jealous I'm not going on the zip line with them, but unfortunately I start school soon. Boo. BUT i will be going to San Antonio soon to see my girl.

WOOT.

I'm a little hyper right now. I always get like this an hour after I get off work.

Don't know why. Weird.

Dad... call me sometime.... if you ever read this anymore.

Speaking of you dad...this song reminds me of you.
