Fair Week # 8

Fair week number 8 has come to a close.

Overall, I had a very successful week, if I do say so myself. Here's a list of everything I received:

Grand Champion Photography
Grand Champion Photo Art
Grand Champion Sr. Rabbit Showman
Grand Champion Outstanding 4-Her
Honors Teen Leader (already won so couldn't win again)
Honors Cake Decorating

Really, the only thing I took that didn't get a award was my fair book cover and my rabbit itself (who only lost due to too long of a coat, but I'm no complaining - it freed up my Monday).

I never really knew how stressful fair really was until this year. And this year .. was very stressful. I could tell so many stories, but I won't. I'm pretty sure it'd be called gossip, and the internet doesn't exactly keep secrets.

But fair week was great anyway. I got to spend time with my favorite people (family, the bestie, the boyfriend, the friends, etc),  and it was nice.

I am kind of glad it's over though - my real summer has finally started! I have nothing planned for 4 weeks, and it feels nice to just be able to sit around and color pictures and play the Wii (like I did all yesterday. And somehow I still manage to get marker all over myself.).

Then today I woke up to a nice fall breeze and everything smells crisp, and oddly sweet. I love it. I found my favorite pair of jeans (complete with holes on the knees from seam to seam), my hair is really soft (a nice change), and it's cold enough to wear my sweatshirt and drink coffee.Not to mention I  get to see Caleb today, and seeing him always makes me happy.

It may be summer, but I still have chores to do, so I  better get going.

So I wasn't going to post...

But I changed my mind. I feel the need to write something, and if I'm going to write something I'm going to do it here. Just ... what?

Ever have one of those days where you just don't want to smile, yet you have no reason not to? Yep, today was one of those days. :/

But thankfully there's someone who can always make me smile, no matter what. And even if he can't make me smile, he at least cares, and he still tries. Thanks, Caleb. :)

I worked on a lot today. Fair is this Saturday. Can you believe it? It seems like time just flies by. It's unreal.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with all of this. Fair is going to be exciting. I was crowned 1st Runner Up Queen, so my week just got crazier. My picture in the paper too. Front page.  The Queen wasn't there. Normally the Queen's crowning picture is front page, but since she wasn't there - no picture. So I guess they went with the next best thing :)

Anyway, I think I'm signed out for the night. My head hurts and I need sleep. I have to bake a cake tomorrow. More on that later.

Until next time,
Kate

You've Been Put on Hold

I'm sorry :( But the next two weeks are way too busy for me to worry about posting and all that. So I'm not going to blog for two weeks. BUT after I'm back I promise to blog more (my summer will be so empty!) so don't go away forever!

Until next time,
Kate

silence is often misunderstood but never misquoted

Hello again,

I hope your summer is going swell. Mine's been pretty hectic. (hence the lack of blog postings.) I kept thinking that my summer would be nice and relaxing ... ya right. It's far from that. It's crazy, hectic, stressfully, busy; all of the above. So far I've had 4 rabbits clinics, 1 dance workshop, fair projects, daily play assisting, dance practices, and many other completely random things that I don't remember all that well.

All in all - Summer is busy.

Speaking of fair though, I thought you might like to see what photos I'm taking.

The first one is for the normal photograph. The obviously edited one is for a new category called Digital Photo Art. Tell me what you think, honestly. I'd like you opinions. The shoe one is called "The Soles of an Artist." And I really didn't think of a title for the second one.. Any ideas?

Anyway. It's getting late, and I need some sleep. Or to do math, either way. Hopefully I'll be posting more. Sorry for not posting a lot.

Hope to write soon,

-Kate

A Day With the Boyfriend

I spent the day with my boyfriend yesterday.

It was fun.

We actually got some good pictures this time.

I got him flowers. . . Ok, I went and picked clovers and a dandelion and gave it to him. He thought it was hysterical. He got my flowers last time I saw him, so I decided to be sweet and get him flowers.

My mom got him a penguin. We named him Devin Walters (aka Mr. Penguin).
