The Katherine Kazette

Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby  and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

Yesterday (when I wrote this), I compiled a list of things I'm thankful for. This list could go on forever because I could write about everything around me and why I should be thankful. I kind of did do that tough because I should be glad I have so many things. I'm thankful for... my Clothing, it's clean, dry, warm, and fashionable. my Family, this includes my mom, dad, and brother. my Extended Family, they make me laugh and are fun to be around. my Grandma, she's sweet and is an interesting person. the ability to Hear music, animals, and talking. Snow, it's fluffy, beautiful, and cold. the ability to Dance and perform private concerts by myself, for myself. my House, it's warm, safe, clean, dry, furnished, and comfortable the ability to Laugh, it gives joy in good times and bad.  the ability to Relax without any real worries. Food, knowing I have a meal whenever I need and am able to purchase more. the ability to Read, the Bible,...

My only picture from the night. As I prefaced in yesterday's blog, I have dipped my toe into the pool of stand up comedy. After months of writing jokes and getting the confidence to perform, I did it! I left for The Whiskey at 8pm. I signed up, drank a coke alone at the bar, and waited three hours to perform. I was alone because after texting with a friend I decided it'd be best to go alone in case it didn't go well. Finally, I got up on stage. I forgot a few words to the jokes, but overall I did well for my first time. I got two giggles and a laugh. I was so proud of myself. I was the youngest one there and the only one to not cuss or bring up sexual references. I felt like a celebrity afterwords! My mom posted about this on her Facebook and all her friends are very excited for me. Since I'm home for break I planned on doing more open mics, including an opportunity to perform at Comedyworks this past Tuesday. I'm excited to continue to make people smile. ...

Gotta get outta Gunnison county Break out of Breckie This is you if you hit the slopes. Recently, the corona virus has been the talk of the town. I personally am not worried. My cousin has a masters degree in infectious diseases and has told my dad that it's important to continue washing your hands and not go to Aspen right now, which is pretty easy to do. I'm not quarantining myself or intentionally practicing social distancing (there's not much to do besides hanging out at home), there is still so much fun to be had outdoors and with people. I'm not stocking up on stuff because I'm sure there will be more. I'm not using hand sanitizer because in elementary school we overused it and it turned my soft, seven year old hands into cracking, bloody, dry hands. I haven't been to Aspen, but I should go because I found an $88 airbnb. I still wash my hands and my parents have had our family use disinfectant wipes on our hands. I'm not that conc...

Today is March 8th which is International Women's Day. Now I don't consider myself a feminist, like I believe in equal rights and treating women with respect. However, in honor of the day I compiled a list of my female role models! Enjoy! The Virgin Mary, Mother of God Mother Mary! She is definitely the biggest role model.  Mary is sinless, trusting, poor, and humble. A woman used to solely admit and bring the light of Jesus into the world, as we're all created to do. While on earth, she trusted God and His plan for her by saying "yes," when I'm sure she was nervous and scared. I need to follow her example more and rely on God and not myself. In the past when I have great (even miraculous) things have happened, so I dont know why I dont always trust Jesus. She also raised Jesus with grace and love understanding He is God's Son and our savior. She lives the definition of grace and even encourages Jesus in His first miracle at the wedding in Cana...
