"Have a Happy Hair Day!"

Thanksgiving at Grams house in North Carolina.

Random.

My new hair dryer! Hello Kitty! I got it this weekend! I love it! It's not as powerful, but it's great regardless! On the hair dryer it says, "Have a Happy Hair Day!"

So that is my wish for all of you!

Saturday in the park....

These are my desirable collectors items. I love my records. It is a growing collection in progress as well. This past weekend me and my mom went to the monthly book sale at the library. I enjoy those very much! I left a huge hole in the sociology section. A lot of great psychological books, how excited am I! We also went to LMS, and Salvation Army Thrift store. I got a few more records to add to my collection. Some old ones like The beach boys, and a Barry Manilow I don't have, and some more musicals to add. I just love music so much, I could not function without it. Literally! I could go on and on about music, and my beloved records, but I wanted to share with you my saturday with my mom. Books, clothes and music, are the big top 5 on my list of life. Haha.. lets see.
1. God.
2. Family than friends.
3. Music.
4. Clothes.
5. Books.

oh how I love life. Amen.

New job!

Okay. For all of you who may not know, I have a new job! or I should say, another job. I am currently employed at Mullaney Insurance in Cambridge, and Hollister in Salisbury. Oh how fun! I am soo excited, considering that this is my favorite store! however, there has been some bumps as some new stores have. Well.. people may categorize this as a blonde moment, I call it leaving information out. When my boss was hiring me, he failed to tell me the job positions and what they meant. Now, here is what was opened, a model or an Impact team. Now, a model is just what it says, so I thought. Silly me, it's not. It's actually the job that I wanted. The interaction with all of the customers, and the cash register, and the, "hi how are you, my name is Katie Lin and I am here for all of your Hollister shopping needs. Please let me know if you need any help, or a shirt size. Have you felt our fleece today? man you have got to feel it! by the way, have you met Malika and Jake?" I mean come on! I am fit for this wonderful position! As many of you know, I am a customer service kind of person, not an inventory girl. Now, on to the impact team. This is where you #1, stay in the back unless told to come out in the front. #2, tend to everyones needs, including the models. #3, fold all the clothes, clean up, and get all the clothes out of the dressing room. Oh my goodness! are they serious?! That is sooo not me! I belong in the outside world, with the Jukebox, not the Brittney Spears burnt cds. Well I talked to my manager about it like a week and half ago, and he said that he would let me be a model, and I am a devoted worker. Example : I worked today, b/c I signed up to work from 6-11 on fridays when I got hired. Turns out, I wasn't even on the list to work tonight. Soo I didn't even have to work. I got a "thanks for coming in anyway." haha.. not really. So anyway, I really love the atmosphere though, and it's my favorite of them all! so yes indeed I am excited. A very busy girl, but also very excited.

Makes me happy.

My family and friends.

this is one of the pictures that was on my wallpaper on my phone for like ever! As you can see my sister is one person that I love having with me, in my life, and is one of the people that I am usually doing stuff with. Sad to say she is hanging out with boyfriend A LOT! maybe not sad to say, however I never really see her anymore. I am sad, I guess you could say. however, I am soo busy as well.
This is me and Rachel my cousin at Red Robin in North Carolina. This occured this past summer when my family got together for the weekend. This is my other joy in life! going to North Carolina and visiting my family. Something we can scarcely do every Christmas, thanksgiving, summer and other special occasions. I wish we could move the states closer, because I miss my family like crazy!
Me and Gracie enjoying the summer time in Shalotte North Carolina at my grandmothers beach house. Some of these pictures are actually taken from my cell phone. Nice quality, if I say so myself.
You all already know who we are, but it's me, Gracie and Rachel. This is at our family reunion in North Carolina (of course) the city I will remember like 2 seconds after I post this.
OK... this is one person yall will not know. This is Jeff Russo. He is in my computer class, and he is a really nice guy! I love college cause you get to meet so many cool different people and make so many friends! this is at chik-fil-a, and he really hates taking pictures. But... I think this one is pretty good. We haven't really done anything outside of school except go to lunch and stuff. We went to the mall, and Kyrie, you will be amazed but I did not suggest this. He wanted a hoodie b/c fall was coming. Sooo, we went to the mall and he wanted me to pick out some clothes for him, haha. He has recently told me that he wants a relationship with me, and unfortunately he has somewhat of a jealous side to him. That he is not afraid of hiding. We are not an item, and I had to remind him of that on some certain occasions. I believe that I have hurt him, and I feel bad about it, but I wanted to be honest with him, considering I don't want a relationship right now. I am soo busy, and plus, we just met like in August. I would want more time, and he live in Berlin, so the distance is an issue as well. He went on with this spew about him never having a girlfriend, and made me feel really bad.. however, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt.. I still felt bad. As of now, he is not talking to me, and isn't really working out. I thought you would like to know the status, and who this guy really was. Another post will come your way!

after a while...

updates that I have not done in a very long time! I apologize...

I LOVE my computer. The sense of having to set free your own personality in your writings and pictures is just the greatest gift! It is wednesday morning and I am at home right now. I did not go to my computer class considering that I woke up this morning with a sore throat that reached to my left ear. OUCH! but now as I am sitting here I can catch up with my blog b/c it has really been a long time. I have new pics of my redone room, that was done like over a month ago, and I am excited that you can see them now.

I am actually excited for it to reach it's winter stage. To put on my Relient K, and Christmas music, I am psyched!

(can't you tell)

my joy in life.

My favorite kids in the whole world to babysit! I love them to death!

Dad's birthday.

my family went to the shorebirds game on the 29th of August, because it was my dad's birthday. That's what he wanted to do. Honestly, I don't think that the game was meant to be played, because it rained and stormed real bad, and the game was put on hold due to the conditions of the storm. it was supposed to start at 7:00, but was put on hold until 8:30. We stuck around. This is me and mom sitting on the stairs, waiting for something to happen.


So, it finally started and they played ball! it was a lot of fun. But then not even an hour into the game....

The lights go out of the whole stadium! It was pitch black! then, the game was called off, and rescheduled for the following day around 6:00.

What an event of a night!

discombobulated

My furniture that is built, and in the process of being built.

These are the drawers that go in on the bottom of my bed. It's a day bed, and it can be a double bed. But obviously they are in the kitchen.

This is my old night stand in mine and Gracie's hallway.

My lamp and artwork are in Gracie's room.

My rest of (pretty much all) of my room, is now located in the sunroom.

My temporary room is now the study. Those are only some of my books, and my beautiful cat Oreo is in the corner with the sun.

colors are gone!

well, I have got new paint and my dad and I and a nice volunteer from our church has been painting all day yesterday and night. You see, my room was blue, pink and yellow. But in order to get my nice blue wall on fresh, we had to coat it with white paint twice, with something that started with a p. or was it t. Anyway, my walls are now white! and then later on today, we will get it started again with my new pretty blue, called tidewater. I got new furniture from the greatest furniture store in the world, IKEA! and it's so pretty! the furniture is all white, and I got a new bed, because I really did not have a bed. 2 mattreses, and they were dead broke. and a cute little bed side table. I'm so excited! Because I am going to have a completely new room! and it's great because school starts for me on wednesday! oh what a joy that will be.

you're never too old.

Tonight, As I was thinking to my self I thought, Katie, today was an over all good day. I was at the mills all day! I went over there in the morning to help Mamma Jen do some stuff, b/c she hurt her knee the day before, but I slept i n by accident and didn't get there until 10 something. Anyway, later on that night we were all going to lowes in easton. But then they decided not to go, b/c mamma jen's knee couldn't take it. So, we went to denny's instead. We saw DJ and Lily, and we sat behind the women group at our church, Mrs. edna mae, mrs. sharon, mrs. faye, and mrs. judy, mrs. janet, and mrs. opal. That was nice to see them. I love seeing people from your church, it just makes you feel so good inside. So, after that we went to wal mart, and then to blockbuster so they could watch a movie. Justin and I picked out Fox and the Hound, for us and the girls. We got home, and Justin's ac was not working very well. While we were watching it, I was just sooo hot! so I went downstairs, where it was cooler. Justin later came down and asked me, Katie, aren't you coming back up? Mamma Jen, than proceeds to say,"Justin, Katie Lin is a little too old to be watching Fox and the Hound."
Whoa! what? Breakthrough!!! I'm sorry, but this is where I draw the line, I then told her afterwards, "you know you are never too old to watch a disney movie!" and she said she knew and she was just trying to get me off the hook. We all have grown up around disney movies, they are the reason why we act so good now a days. Disney has influenced our lives and made such an impact, that you could never grow too old out of that. I was just so taken a back by it, and Justin says, "Mamma she's only 17." Thank the good lord that came out, b/c I felt so much better when he said that. But when I am old and on my way to a nursing home (or living in one) and I am in my room, that smells like old people, and I have my dinner tray at the side of my bed with leftover gravy in it, and my son or daughter comes in and says, "hi mom, what would you like to watch today?" And I'll turn to him/her or them, and say, "I want to watch Fox and The Hound." And my daughter or son will look at me with their green eyes and say, "mamma aren't you a little too old to be watching disney movies?" and I'll look at them with a glow/sparkle in my eye, and I'll say, "Child, you're never too old to watch a disney movie."

song of the day.

This is Mark Schultz. He has the voice of someone so talented that you admire everything about him, and more. My song of the day is called "He's my son. " As I was listening to my cd over and over in my car today, there is this peace and calmness that always just sweeps through me, and I don't know what it is, but I like it. Music has it's own way of getting to me. I love the impact it has, it's really my everything. It helps me grow not only physically but spiritually. Mark does a great job of that. He also sings a great song called, "Remember me." I remember some odd years ago, my family had planned to sing it in church, but for some reason it never came about. Maybe we can save the event for another sunday. But getting back to He's my son, I highly recommend any of his albums, but most importantly, to listen to this song. I hope it touches you like it has to me. God bless you through the night.

Girlfriends got style. Need I say more?

pure beauty.

two words. Mischa Barton.

I love these Keds ads. I am a huge fan, and I would strongly suggest getting them. However, get them about 2 or 2 and a half sizes bigger than your regular size, b/c you will get blisters. I am a regular 6 or 6 1/2, I should have gotten 8 or 8 1/2, but you learn from life. So as my advice is handed down to you, take it and go get some keds. They are the best.

For your fun pleasure. Now the pretty/cute ones are on sale. I guess a summer sale. So go to www.keds.com today, and order away.

night.

I remembered you, remember me.

Thursday night

It's almost 10:30, and this week has been such a drag! not to put down life or anything, but everyone has a day or week like this. I love my work (as Kyrie Anna knows) my work is unique, and filled with interesting things to learn. For those of you who don't know where I work, I work at Mullaney Insurance. Right, most teens like me, wouldn't like the insurance field at all. It's something about it that I just love. The Vibe, the working with people, the complications that happen almost every 5 minutes, it's just all so fascinating. It's a rather small office, so a lot of us change our desks every so often. Not me, on the 25th I would have been at the same desk for a year. Not anymore, considering the new girl that has started. She took Don's old desk, and now he's got mine. So guess where Katie Lin is for a little while? All the way in the back! solitary confinement has hit me, and I'm bored out of my mind and lonely. This has happened for 2 days now, and it's just getting to me! I'm sad to not be around my everyday working family. That's just me I guess. But I just have to keep telling myself, tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it. I am going to sleep on it, pray to God, and I pray that all of you have a great night!

goodnight.
