Day 42, 39 Left!

Update...

To diminish my ever growing boredom, I have begun taking on more hours at work. I now work Monday-Friday 9-5 as always, and 530-10 MWF and then 9-1 on Saturdays in the park. I work front gate selling or taking tickets. Hopefully the money will be flowing in soon.

Another reason I have decided to take on this extra workload is that I have decided that next May I will be buying a car. I am very excited and trying to to find the car I want right now. lol. My mom and I have spoke and we have decided that it will be smart and a learning opportunity to safe almost $300 each month and then at the end of a year if I have been able to do so, to buy a car, with a nice down payment. All advise is welcome.

Aunt Julie, Nanaw and Nicole, and my parents are all coming to visit and I am very excited and grateful. Hopefully with them here I will finally get to share the park with my loved ones and get a chance to see NYC. If anyone else would like to come see me, you are all welcome.

I am slowly making it through my reading list. I am now on the lost memoirs of Jane Austen. It is an interesting book, which is actually a fiction novel written as if the memoirs of of Jane Austen have been found and refurbished. It is an extraordinary piece of work, that i am enjoying immensely.

I have been running everyday or getting some type of exercise. I have been doing this for 6 weeks and am very proud of myself. I have almost completely decided that I will be buying an ipod used solely for running. I am excited and proud about this fact, because it means a great commitment to my running and my health in general. Brandon will be helping me with this, since he seems to be the Mac expert.

Work news...

My team for the Walk in the Park raised the most money and so we get a party. We will either get a Water Park Party, a Rides Party, or a BBQ. I am voting for the water.

My boss is buying lunch for all of us today from some fancy Italian restaurant. Yum Yum. He is doing this because the office has been crazy and everyone is working very hard in light of recent circumstances.

There is a Leanne Rimes concert on July 4Th that I am hoping to attend!

I think this is all the updates right now. I love and value your support. Thank you so much. All my love. KT

  1. Hi Kate! Good to hear from you. Am glad to hear you are enjoying the Jane Austen book; did I mention I finished the book, The Book Thief? It was sooo good. I am almost finished listening to my audio book, Roots by Alex Haley. It's about 28 hours long & I have 6 left. I am really excited about 2 other books I bought off audible.com for my ipod. One is the sequel to Pillars of the Earth and the other is the 1st in a series Cece turned me onto called The Outlander. She is devouring the series even though each book is very, very long. It's the first audio book I've ever downloaded with 5 parts (Roots had 4). Unfortunately, I find it difficult to listen to a book and run at the same time, so I enjoy walking and listening instead. Fair warning. COngratulations on fully passing the half way mark! See you in 34 days, 3 hours, 27 minutes, and 38 seconds! I love you,
    mom
