I Felt Like It

In one hour it's August 1st and that only means that the next day is my 17th birthday ! August first also means that I'm going to the beach with my friend Hughbert tomorrow; and this time I hopefully won't get sunburn my butt. I know how weird that sounds but let me explain. I went to the beach a few weeks ago with Hughbert & he asked me if I had any sunscreen on, watching out for me like a good friend, so I wouldn't get burned. So not having any sunscreen on, I said, jokingly, I was too cool for it. An hour of so passes by, and what gets burned while I'm tanning ? My ass. And it hurt to sit. And to make it even better, when I was flipping over onto my stomach, Hugh smacks his book against my sunburn, ouch. Never again will I go to the beach again without sunscreen on my butt. But enough about that, I just felt like blogging something to here it is. Kat House closed.

Healthy Cupcakes

So I've just come to realization that all of my posts have started with "So" or "Today", including this one. But beside that fact, I'm almost 17! Like I've said in a recent post, there's nothing really special about it, but it's one more year until 18 and that I can do almost anything I want. But I didn't come on here to talk about my almost birthday, but my amazing idea that will hopefully take off after I get out of college. So originally, I planned to be a Chemistry Teacher, but after interning with one, I decided that I wanted to be the one doing the experiments. Then I resorted to being a Cosmetology Chemist, in which I actually make make-up, and I had it all planned that I would work in Clinique Industries. It sounded great up until I've decided that I want to live in New York City, and you can't really mix the two together. There is Clinique Headquarters in New York, but it's not in The City where I want it to be.
SO one day I was looking through my cabinet for something to eat and I came across this box of Whonu Cookies. I looked at the back of the box and in the serving size of 3 cookies, your getting as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal, vitamin C as a cup of berries, vitamin A as an 8oz. glass tomato juice, vitamin B12 as a cup of cottage cheese and fruit, vitamin E as 2 cups of carrot juice, iron as a cup of spinach and as much calcium and vitamin D as an 8oz. glass of milk. It was ridiculous, and then I got this brilliant idea. Since I love to bake so much, why don't I do the same thing with these cookies, but with cupcakes. I could study Food Chemistry in college, and minor in some type of Business Management, make my healthy cupcakes, and open a little shop in New York City. It's perfect, and it's exactly what I've decided I'm going to do. I'm so excited that the Kat House is closed.

I Was Sick Because I Didn't Go To The Gym ?

Today, I wasn't feeling very good, or the day before that, and kind of the one before that. I just got back from a Pilates class at the Fitness Edge and I feel GREAT ! I think that I actually got sick from not exercising for such a long time. That's just not something that usually happens. Well, I guess it's possible since exercising is an outlet for stress and other such, so that's a pretty logical explanation. But all in all..I don't feel like crap anymore ! And other than that, I don't really have anything else today, so I guess that Kat House is closed.

Jobs

So I just sent in an Email to The Chili Factory, an opening chili place in my town, in hopes they will respond and hire me. I've been looking for a new job since I got layed off at Apricot Lane Boutique, which was very odd. It's not that I though I would never get layed off, it was just the way it happened. I usually only worked Tuesday from 3pm-6pm, so there was no way she could have slowly taken me off the schedule; but when I started to ask for more house, she gave me one more day for a bit and then just cut my hours all together. What the hell was that all about ? And then when I went to go in to collect a check I had forgotten to get, there were two new girls working, and the employee that handed me my check said, "Have a nice summer." So there went my only source of income. I had had a babysitting job, but the mother kept forgetting to send me times, so I'm only there once in a while. But back to topic, it's so hard for teens to get a job these days. I mean it's hard for everyone, but being younger than everyone else in the workforce, the older ones are prone to being hired. It's a little unfair actually, but I'm not going to push it. I just hope this chili factory works out, even though I don't like chili at all. But hey, money is money, and money pays for the expensive gas that I'm buying for $4.15 per gallon. By the way, thank you Obama for spending America's tax dollars to pay for what you can't. Honestly, you're not helping out the American Dream, and you said you wanted change. Well you're doing a great job. But for now my fellow Americans, the Kat House is closed.

A Typical Dreary Summer Day

Today is really one of those does where there is nothing to be done..this is my extremely typical summer day. Most people I know are either sleeping or they're those lucky SOB's at Gathering of the Vibes. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a big 4-day music festival. In short, it's a modern day Woodstock. I'm not there because my mother deemed it "unsafe"; that's not the word she used because it was so long ago that I asked, but she just said no. Dammit. I guess it's just one of those things I'll end up doing later in life; try when I'm 18 so then I'm a legal adult. But until then, I'm stuck in Limbo Land. That's the thing about being 16, almost 17. Those are such tricky ages because, although you can drive, you can't do anything like clubbing, or hookah, or anything else that you need to be 18 for. It's just a matter of trying to figure out what to do on a daily basis; and I mean a daily basis. But I'm not going to sit here and complain just because I said I wouldn't and there's really not much to complain about now since my cousins are visiting for the next 3 days. So they should keep me preoccupied; but the nights where I stay up late, I'll have to figure those out myself. Maybe I'll actually read my summer reading book A Thousand Splendid Suns. I have to admit that it's actually a fantastic book, just a little hard to follow. So to my, hopefully, few people that actually read this blog (Yes, I know it's only been up for one day) I challenge you to read this book, and tell me what you think. But for now, The Kat House is closed

First Impression

Today marks the first ever day that I, Kat, write my first ever blog. It's not that it should be a national holiday or anything, but I've never done this before, so I guess it's... monumental. Regardless, I'm still doing this even  though I know some days I'll have to drag myself to my laptop and write something about the life of a 16 year old girl... Almost 17. Soon enough, I'll be back to write something of actual value. But for now, the Kat House is closed.
