Last Day Being 17....

Today was super rockin awesome!
I had a great Friday at school (thank goodness it is Friday...), and I got my first Birthday present (love it, and the scarf in the pictures was part of it.), then I came home and had 3 birthday cards in the mailbox (getting cards is my favorite!).
So then after all this I was thinking about how I love to pretend to be a rock star, and then I thought... Go outside and take some pictures of yourself pretending to be a cool kid, the day before you turn 18! So that's exactly what I did!
Here they are...

I especially l0ve the last two, although the top one is a frequent look on my face... I am told that I say A LOT with my facial expressions!

"Dress for being who you want to be" -Diane von Furstenberg

...these pictures explain why I love this quote so much.

Ciao, kt :)

(5)Then hit the Post Comment button.
This should work but if not....then I don't know.

Hey Hey Hey....

Thank you sooooo much to the blog reader who tried to post a comment and desperately failed. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. It has inspired me to be a little bit better about my posting since someone does look at it every once in a while.

So... I'm in this self expression mode lately and I really like what I've been coming up with. I even have a request to do a picture for someone else in one of my favorite styles. Hooray! Can't wait cause it's gonna be tripindicular! Anyway, crazy awesome hair that I can't figure out but love and all.... Me.

USA...

Have any of you (my two readers) seen the USA commercials for the "Character Projects"? If not you need to go to - (characterprojects.usanetwork.com) it is AWESOME! To see the world through someone else's eyes is such a cool thing to be able to do! God gave some people the ability to see things in such interesting ways... sometimes ways we may have never even thought about. Check it out!
Ciao, kt :)

Friend...

A word that means so much.

Lately I feel that my pictures can speak for themselves... and that my words could not express the joy, and passion in every moment.
A picture is worth a thousand words...

SNOW!!!!!!!!!

Finally some snow..... we have been out of school for two days now! Hooray!!!!!

Here are some snow pics that I love.....

After warming up inside for a little while, we went over to our friends house and watched some really awesome fireworks! Here are a couple of pics from last night in the freezing cold....

The beginning...

One of the explosions...

The Star Wars effect of shooting through the galaxy...

Blast off and run!

These snow days are great... no school, sitting in front of the fire, House marathons to watch, pictures to be taken, and snow snow and more snow!!!!

Hope all your snow days... of lack there of.... are wonderful!!!!

See some of you very soon at "The Princess and the Pea"....... For a Princess is a delicate thing, delicate and dainty as a dragonflies wing, you can recognize a lady by her elegant air, but a genuine Princess is exceedingly rare!

Ciao, Kt :)

Well....

That's a really deep subject isn't it? It's coming down to the crunch time of the play... practice will be almost every day! We have out of school on Monday but the "play kids" have to go to school anyway to practice. I was thinking....oh it's ok, I'll only be there a couple of hours and then I can go home and mama and I will hang out on our day off..... but then it hit me like a 2x4. Mama wont be at home. What in the world am I going to do?!?!?

This is a picture of Brie's new baby girls... aren't they precious!

Luke, Aj, Heather and I went rollerskating Friday night and had a blast. None of us had been on wheels in a while.... so the feeling of "this is why God didn't make us on wheels" was very strange. After a while I was beginning to get the hang of it again.... and then I realized that I was really far behind them. After a little while longer I decided that maybe I was really in front of them on the rink, and started to carry my head a little higher... kind of like Miranda in this picture.....

then I realized they had passed me for about the fifth time. Bummer! Then I laughed at myself.... a lot!

Surprise!

Oh what fun being silly and ridiculous!

Ciao, Kt :)

It's been about....

Well, lets not count the days since my last post.... it's been a little crazy! The play is starting to kick into full swing, and before long we will be having practice everyday. My costume is almost complete, and I must say I look pretty cool in it! If anybody wants tickets to see it let me know! Well here are some pics...


Love this picture of my friend Rachael.... this was one of her art projects... the verse on it is awesome ("The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation.")

Zac and Rachael with their art work... each piece of art goes with their personality.... funny huh?

So Aj.... all that has to be said!

I know it's a little blurry, but this is a picture of me and my girl! :D

Day after I got my hair cut.....

I was using my new tripod! Thanks Aunt Dianne!!!!!

Off the subject.. do any of you blog readers happen to be viewing this page on a Mac computer? Just curious to know if you like them, and if they are all they are cracked up to be. Don't forget to comment if you have something to say!

Ciao, Kt :D

Already...

Christmas is over already? I can't believe it! There is so much to catch up on...

Can you believe that I was outside walking around barefoot on Christmas Eve? I sure can't!

Cool picture of the sky before Santa came into town...

One of my precious little cousins anticipating Santa Clause... how cute is she?!?

The poll is over about which Christmas movie is your favorite.... and White Christmas won. It really is a great movie!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Don't forget to remember the true meaning of the season!

Ciao, Kt :)

Can you Believe it's Christmas Eve?.....

Oh my goodness! So much is happening... we went to VA last weekend and had fun making gingerbread houses.... Cody had fun with them too this morning.....

He came to wake me up this morning and I thought his breath smelt unusually like peppermint!

I have so much more to post... but we are about to leave to go to my Grandparents house before the candle light service!

Hope this made you laugh!

Ciao, Kt :)

Hola....

This is about as much as I know from Spanish class last year. Sad I know.

Anyways.... I am sitting at my Aunt's table in VA right now waiting for the rest of my supercool family to get here. Want to post some pics that are new.... but they are on my computer at home in "the woods" to bad. So here are some older ones.....

Love this... My Mama Mia, Aunt Cindy, and #1 Uncle David at Christmas. How cute!

Santi Clause! I promise I've been good.... most of the year!

This picture is of (from left to right) Emory Holt, Courtney, Mary Reade, Sarah Clark, Me, and Anna Hudson at Granny and Papa's before we opened our presents Christmas morning.

I'm sure I will update again soon!

Mela Kalikimaca (Merry Christmas from Hawaii), Kt :)

Halaluiah..........

I don't think I spelled that right, but oh well............ I can exempt my English exam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a CLH Christmas party at our house tonight and it was a lot of fun. (Have you ever noticed that the word "a lot" is really two words?) I showed "My Date" a.k.a. Jerry, some of my pictures and he really liked the ones I showed him. Because of this, and my excitement over my exam news..... I have decided to...........upload pictures, Hooray!!!!

Here are some of them......

Enjoy!

Ciao, Kt :)

Late.. Late.. Lateeee...........

Tomorrow I have two big tests that count super huge on my grades and I have been studying religiously like I was told to and I'm so afraid...... but I'm sure I will do fine (depending on your definition of FINE...). Vocab is the killer of all English tests. You may think I'm kidding... but if you've never taken an Otis Spunkmyer vocab test before......... you have NO CLUE!!!!!!!! (I think I just called that little dude some crazy name.... but oh well... I don't know his real name.)

Ciao, Kt :)

Say What?.....

Does this new title picture say me or what?

This week seems as if the teachers forgot that Christmas was so soon and that we had to do work all along instead of all in one week. When they give us something else to do we all just look at them and... "say what?"

Christmas time is my favorite... for oh so many reasons!

• It's Jesus birthday
• Trip to Aunt Dianne and Uncle Frank's house
• Tacky light tours
• The GIVING of gifts and cards
• Get together with ALL the family
• Lots of goooood food
• Lots of warm things to drink
• Many wonderful Kodak moments
• NO SCHOOL!!!!!!! For a couple of weeks at least.

This pic is of one of my Christmas ornaments... it reminds me of..... ME!!!

This next one is a shout out to my friend Zac.... this is his "little dude on a bug" that he made for art class and gave to me!

I may have never told you... but I love my Magna Doodle! I had one when I was younger and it wore slam out.... so one year for Christmas or my b-day I got a new one. This one has been loved so much that if you look hard enough you can see how the doodle junk is starting to permanently stick to the sides.... how sad. Anyways here it is..... Doodle Love.....

So here it is.... my blog rambling for the day. I told myself that I was going to be optimistic and extra nice this week, and had my bud doing it with me.... she has been doing great.... but I have been struggling! Things have not been going quite like I would like them, so I was letting it bother me.... surprising rightee? I don't thinkee! Anyways... I read something last night that is normally right in front of me, but I have never really taken the time to read it before. God definitely knows just when we need something cause he stuck it right under my nose again just like He has many times.... this time I read it. It was a great verse... Isa. 41:10..... if you haven't read this lately... go read it! It is just what I need this year! Isn't God AWESOME!!!!!!

Ciao, Kt :)

Finally done with that.....

Excuse me... you think this looks like a bunch of oranges????????????

I don't think so.... you haven't seen oranges and grapefruits until you have worked on the WCA Senior Fruit SALE!!!!!

We had sooooo much fun! The dude in the truck came early, we unloaded the boxes of fruit in and assembly line, sorted out deliveries, hit the road with our deliveries, I came back to school after my deliveries, helped with the pickups, helped fix a mess up with a ginormous order, waited around, left to go on a delivery with Mrs. Martin close to 6:00 pm, came back waited some more, laughed and talked with B and Mrs. Martin, took leftover orders to B's room, and then loaded up B's van, and then we finally left school today around.... what..... 6:45-ish?

Now that I have bored you with the events of the fruit sale, I say thank you...thank you...thank you... if you bought any because it helped out my trip fund a lot!

Yall are the bomb for continuing to read my blog even when I ramble on and on..................... and on.

Thanks again!
Ciao, KT :)

For Pete's Sake...

Today was silly, crazy, ridiculous, fun, exciting, happy, and odd. How can just one day be this many things you ask.... well.... you don't really want me to explain that do you?

When I came home I played with my new camera and uploaded the new software to my computer, switched the monitor for my computer and riped a hole in my favorite pj bottoms... all these things combined for some stress considering my skills! Then we ate, put a screen thingy on my camera screen, Mama had to help me fix the computer problem that I created, I played with my pictures, and hard core played my guitar to some "Me And Bobby McGee", and now I'm writing this and listening to Colbie sing some awesome songs! Here are some pictures from my evening....The next one is of the very sad hole in the pj bottoms.... :(

When I said hard core rockin... look at the fingers and you can tell.... OUCH!!!

One of the guitars.... not a great picture....

The Codester likes to come sit with me for a little while to see if I am writing anything about him or not.... and then he gets tired of waiting and jumps down to go be lazy while waiting for me to go to bed.....

That's all the pictures for tonight. Tomorrow we deliver fruit to everyone.... and wait for the other people to come get theirs at school.... we are going to have a blast!!!!!

By the way if you are reading this and haven't taken the poll yet go take it... after you finish reading my rantings.

See yall later, Ciao, KT :)
