UNIQUE STAR AWARD!

noreply@blogger.com (Kat) — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 07:32:00 +0000

I decided to change the layout and theme of my blog.

I designed all of the little icons on my page such as my banner, contact box, and follow me on Twitter button.

I decided there are a lot of bloggers out there that do design their own buttons and banners and I am starting a weekly award called 'Unique Star!' for

being a Unique Star amongst the blogs. :-) This week I will pass along the award to a blog I really like that I think is very unique. In turn in order to accept this award the winner must agree to host the award the next week so it keeps going.

I will give out the Award on Monday!

This is what the award looks like:

It Begins Monday

noreply@blogger.com (Kat) — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:14:00 +0000

On my List of 101 things there are some small things that don't really have to be planned out. Also there are some big goals that need to be planned out and prepared for. Therefore, Monday I decided to start on #98: complete the 200 sit ups challenge. So Monday the 28th I will begin the 6 week program for the 200 sit ups challenge. This program is not just about sit ups; it is about building your core strength and building core endurance. The 6 weeks consists of a very structured exercise regimen and in the end I will be able to complete 200 consecutive sit ups without stopping.

"It's just a... SNAKE!! AHHH"

noreply@blogger.com (Kat) — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:05:00 +0000

The other day our neighbors had a corn snake in their wall. Unfortunately we did not know it was corn snake until later and thought that because it was bright red it was deathly poisoness. It had crawled in through a little hole and was lingering in the wall. Amanda T. went and let the neighbors know that we saw it go in. Well we all tried luring the snake out using various items. None seemed to work, it would just poke it's little head out and sneer at us. Probably laughing on the inside 'Silly Humans mwahaha I have really fooled you'. Well when the neighbors husband came home, Aaron and him decided they were determined to fish this snake out. Well in light of the comment about fishing they used a fishing rod to poke and prod the snake out. Well it worked the snake began slithering down the side of the wall. toward the bikes leaning against the wall. It slithered around as John tried to catch it, it hissed and lunged. Well John had a pair of pliers and were trying to catch it with that. well the snake somehow made it's way to the back yard. Amanda kept yelling "Don't kill it, don't kill it". It's a snake for god's sake, it could KILL YOU! lol. At lease since we thought it was poisoness lol. Well anyway in this mess we were all gathered around the now coiled snake on the ground. Amanda and I standing next to each other when all of the sudden, bear in mind we are like a foot from what we thought was a poisoness snake, Amanda yells "SPIDER!!!!!" and runs frantically away while we all start laughing. It was quite funny. Then finally John latches onto the snake and it begins to coil around his arm and he starts to kinda freak and Aaron says "Oh it's just a--" and John released the snake hurling through the air and it landed on Aaron "SNAAAAAKE!! AHHH" lol. It was funny. We all were screaming and running at some point or another. Eventually we got the snake safely back into the suburbia wild.

EPIC WATER BALLOON FIGHT!

noreply@blogger.com (Kat) — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 19:47:00 +0000

Yesterday Amanda T. and I went to the Dollar Tree and picked up balloons for an epic water balloon fight. Around 7pm we blew up 400 water balloons and threw them into the swimming pool. Balloons in all shapes and sizes. We had giant balloons, tiny balloons, even Mickey Mouse shaped balloons. A balloon tied into a sword. As we prepared for this epic battle we agreed to show no mercy. Hurling balloons across the pool at outrageous speeds towards our opponent. Balloons popping in all directions. Water spewing from the sky as balloons hurdled through the air. It truly was epic. In the end we both ended up with battle wounds. Amanda T was plowed with a balloon and it hit her directly in the eye **of course this was an accident we would not intentionally hurt each other** And I ended up getting my face thrown into the cement side of the pool by a giant balloon to the back of the head. That was one really harsh headache. But in the end we just laughed.
And our trip to Dollar Tree was fun too.... we can make fun out of the smallest of things.

Goals and Aspirations

noreply@blogger.com (Kat) — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 22:14:00 +0000

Back in school I used to be really athletic and I loved running. I still do, but I'm extremely out of shape. I can only run about a mile before I feel everything in me shutting down. My time sucks, my body sucks and my running formation is poor.

My new goal is to run each day at least once to start. To get in shape and to work my way back to my old time in cross country running. Feeling the wind in my face and the pavement beneath my feet and leaving every problem behind in the dust I kick up.

I already went for a run today, but it was so hot I could hardly breathe. Now that it's cooled down I am going for another run. I am officially in training.

Toes and Bandaids

noreply@blogger.com (Kat) — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 00:55:00 +0000

Ain't it weird that no matter how you put it on a bandaid will never stay on your toe. Now it's kind of ironic, because if you think about it if you cut your toe it's one of the more important places you need a bandaid. Your feet are constantly picking up yuckies.

Here are some cool bandaids.

You can purchase them at Bake It Pretty

Dreaming

noreply@blogger.com (Kat) — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:23:00 +0000

Since I am a writer you will wind up seeing such things as my poetry and bits and pieces of stories I am writing. I love input, so don't be shy.

Dreaming

If for even a moment
I thought you could love me
I would go to the end of the earth
To feel you near me just once more
It was not long before I knew
You could hold my heart
Keeping inside like this
It's just so hard, painful
feeling my heart pound
to the rhythm of my tears
No no keep them inside
God please you can't let me fall
Not when you know it can't be
It seems too late
But this I just pray
That someday I can hope
Love will find me
Nothing in my way
Keeping me from having it
Feeling the arms of your soul
Embrace me like a dream
I've dreamed for so long

When Life gives you lemons, IT'S A TRAP!

noreply@blogger.com (Kat) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:13:00 +0000

I took hours out of my day to write this, the least you can do is take 5 minutes and read it.

When life gives you lemons, IT'S A TRAP! retreat.

Nothing is free in this world and you have to think what would life be giving you lemons for. It may give you lemons, but where's the sugar and Ice to make lemonade.

Sometimes life leaves you in a bind and it's not as simple as lemonade. Here are some inspirational quotes though that just may lift your spirits in these rough times.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharal Nehru

Our life's a stage, a comedy: either learn to play and take it lightly, or bear its troubles patiently.
Palladas

Govern thy life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one, and read the other.
Thomas Fuller

After the game,
the king and the pawn go into the same box.
Italian Proverb

Be just, and fear not.
Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's,
Thy God's and truth's.
William Shakespeare

Those are a few of my favorite quotations. They get me through sometimes when I feel down and like life is throwing lemons at me... hard. Sit back and take a breather. This too shall pass.
