Summer Shenanigans 2019


        This summer has been interesting, it is my first summer back from college. That means that my home friends (like from high school and stuff) have had their own schedules and it's been harder to schedule things, but that hasn't completely stopped me! I have still been able to hang out with friends and family enjoying the days.

Lifeguarding
      I have been working as a lifeguard a lot this summer! The pool has been eventful once again, we've had to stay open in the cold and warm up in the chem room, clean. Hopefully, I'll explain more in a later post.


Health
      Earlier this summer I went to bed writhing in pain from a sunburn. I thought "Katherine, you need to focus on your health." So, the next day I went running and went 25 days without a break, I stretched a ligament and needed it to rest, so I did and then now I run less often. I also wear sunscreen a little more. It helps when I use sparkly sunscreen. Now, I just need to cut ice cream.

Boo-FF
      I've taken care of a family friend's cat this summer for two days, but it was wonderful!  Boo is getting old and I treasure any time I get to spend with my BFF!

Movies
        I have watched "Book Smart" with  my family and I really enjoyed the movie. I closed my eyes for the more, um interesting parts. But, it was very fun and lighthearted.

Casa Bonita
       I've also gone to Casa Bonita which was fabulous! My post about the restaurant can be read here: https://thekatherinekazette.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-best-experience-of-my-young-life.html



Nai and I!
      My other good friend, Nai, and I have been with each other nearly this entire summer! It's gotten to the point that if I were to go missing, my parents would ask "Well, Where's Nai?" We've had lots of laughs discussing different topics such as make-up brushes, age, celebrities, southern accents, The Bachelor, and much more. We've gone shopping at my new fave T.J. Maxx, tried Nectar, ate at a sketchy Anthony's, and more I can't wait for!

Abby and I!
      My good friend, Abby, and I hung out a bit. I even tried to help her swim for her workout. I enjoy spending time with Abby especially since we don't see each other enough. Hopefully I can visit her this upcoming year.

Day Trip
      My family and I went on a day trip to Steamboat. We rented a car (I don't know why) and headed on up the beautiful landscape with fresh air filling my lungs. On the way there we stopped in Kremling to visit the grocery store. This grocery store was definitely made for cow folk: there was an aisle just for fishing and camping, when you walked in racks of highlighter yellow safety vests greeted you, and there were even acrylic cows that mood above the dairy aisle. The landscape outside was stunning there were so many colors. We also visited an artist in Kremling whose art I admired. He showed us his photographs of animals in Kremling which included a white skunk with a black foot, otters, an illusive mama mountain lion and her three kids, and a photograph of him and the furs he caught years ago. There were stories with all the photographs like how once he and his daughter were hunting and they came upon a mama bear and her baby, so they slowly walked back while her cub climbed up a tree and then down to disappear in the mountain. He was trapping in Alaska once when his friend came and they saw some animal in the water, but he didn't have the proper shoes, so instead he stood in the water without shoes and caught the animal. Crazy. We headed on our way and reached Steamboat where he stopped by my cousin's home and saw the rest of the family. We then drove back home, but stopped to get a bite to eat in Silverthorne at Sauce on the Blue. It was wonderful and I highly recommend it. I had zucchini margharita pasta and it was so yummy and wasn't heavy! So Yummy! We drove home and that was the day!

RoDayO
For the fourth of July I worked and hosted fun games at the pool. Afterwords I spent the day with my family at a rodeo. It was okay. Cowboys are hot from afar, but I really don't want to become a cow person. They also had good shaved ice. Then we left and driving home people were shooting off fireworks everywhere! We headed up a hill and viewed all the fireworks, it was gorgeous and really cool.

Erin and I
My friend Erin and I went to Snooze, a breakfast place, it was tasty! We then shopped a little afterwords! It is always super fun to hang out with Erin.

Shrek the Musical
My family and I saw a family friend perform in his theater troop's performance of Shrek the Musical. The costumes were good and there were some funny parts as well.

So, that's been my summer so far. There is much more I can't wait to do!

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

      I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out.       We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Summer Style 2019

This summer I have been trying to expand my wardrobe. I noticed I have many solid color shirts and my outfits have gotten boring. I have been trying to change this by getting a top in every color to change it up. It has been a little tough because I try to follow Karl Lagerfeld's advice of purchasing pieces I either need or really love. There really is no reason to spend money on clothing you sort of like, you got to love it. Click on the titles of the clothing to get to the link. Ralph Lauren Polo Flag Cotton Sweater I love this summer sweater! I mean who doesn't love a summer sweater! It is so patriotic and perfect for chilly summer nights. I am looking forward to purchasing this sweater later this summer. Plus, it's on sale!  Brooks Brothers Tipped Supima Cotton Shell This tank top is basic, but so easy to dress up with accessories. This one is also on sale. Lilly Pulitzer Dusk Racer Back Silk Tank Top I absolutely adore this tank top. Lilly ...
