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.
