a good night of.....fun

last night i went to six flags with my friend maggie. it started out pretty cool. we had a nice and fun ride there. then once we got there we realized that if you buy a ticket for the park after 5 it's only 21 dollars! that was pretty cool. i wasn't really into spending 55 dollars, which is the normal cost. then things kinda went down hill for a while. we waited in line for superman, but not that long because it was at night and no one was there, and just as we were about to go up the stairs to secure a spot for one of the trains, one of the workers stopped us and told us that we couldn't go on with the bag that we were carrying. now since i've been to six flags before i knew that there were cubbies on the track where the roller coaster was to put your shoes and bags. however, six flags has now gotten rid of them and they make you use a locker for each individual ride for a dollar each. this doesn't seem like much but it definitely put a damper into our trip. so we decided to forget it and move on to another ride. the scream machine was next. this ride we didn't have to wait at all, we got right in line. then..... we found out that someone had puked on the ride before us and you guessed it, right in the car that we were about to sit in. so that closed the ride for a good 25 minutes. finally we were able to ride our first coaster of the night. after that things really turned around. we were able to go on a lot of rides for the night and it was definitely a lot of fun. can't wait to go back! especially now that i know it's only 21 dollars!

p.s. going along with my cousin alex's post......the new dark night coaster stinks!!!! 

you and me.

this weekend my friend, Yumi, from trinity came to visit. she lives in japan and works at a summer camp on cape cod for two months. she came to the states on thursday and needed some place to stay before going to cape cod. it was a lot of fun. we went to the beach, we went to the mall, we went out to eat. it was awesome to see you her and a few other of my friends from school that came along as well. it was a cool experience to see people out of the trinity environment. but i was very glad to see everyone, especially Yumi. i'm hoping that i'll be able to take a trip to cape cod so i can visit her there. but that story is for another blog. 

harry isn't very hairy

what a day. it was long, and it's only 3 pm. baby harry is definitely a handful. but man is he cute. the first day on the job went very well. not too much crying, only one diaper change, and the feeding was easy. i'm still getting used to him and what he wants when he cries and fusses. the mom and grandmother were there so that was helpful, they usually had the solution when harry was crying. so now i'm going to nap because i'm exhausted. it should be an interesting summer. i'm just glad i made it through the first day.

finally, a job!

alright so on top of our pitching and batting lessons, i finally found a consistent job for the whole summer. i'm baby sitting again. but there's a little twist. the child that i'm baby sitting is only 7 months old. yup, you got it. an infant. around the same age as baby lucy. his name is harry and he's ADORAB LE. he's just so happy. today i went over for a little meet and greet at the house. i learned where all of his toys and diapers were. what to feed him with and all his favorite tv shows. again, this is me we're talking here so not that much experience but i've been asking my mom questions non-stop. since i start next tuesday i have to pack in all the questions. hopefully everything runs smooth. if you have any tips (hint hint maybe the parents of baby lucy hehe) they are ALWAYS welcome!

our first customer!

we got our first customer! the day we started handing out our flyers for our pitching and batting lessons we got an email for a little 8 year old girl who wants lessons. yay! this might actually take off. keep your fingers crossed. 

the little gardener

man has it been hot out. i love it. i know it's very hot and sticky and humid but i would take it any day over the slightest bit of cold. well so far i've been trying to lay out by my pool. i even had alex and amy over which was a lot of fun. so i've just been trying to enjoy the sun and heat and work on my tan. well today that all changed. it's sort of a running joke in my family that i, katherine, don't do much work of any sort. today my mom put me on the job to weed. yup, some hard manual labor. for two solid hours i was picking little green weeds out of the ground in the 98 degree weather. i was sweating so much. and then i took a great big jump into the pool. it felt so good. and you know the best part? i get to do it again tomorrow! well at least my mom appreciates it. so the next time you stop by make sure you check out the gardens. 

we're...still....here

yes i've been quite busy.....doing what? good question. not really sure since i don't have a job! but hopefully starting this weekend i will finally have a babysitting job for the summer. cross your fingers. alright nothing too interesting just wanted to let you know that i'm still here. see you soon!

FUNdamental Softball: Pitching and Batting Lessons

so far i really haven't found a job for this summer. it's very frustrating. whenever i apply somewhere they usually don't get back to me because i don't have any experience except for working at a day camp and baby sitting. but how am i supposed to get experience if no one will hire me? it's definitely really hard especially with the rising gas prices. i definitely need some money. so my friend anu and i have come up with something that, hopefully, won't be out only source of income but it will definitely help. we are going to be giving softball pitching and batting lessons. i'm really excited. it should be a lot of fun. hopefully we can get enough girls interested that we can start a few clinics. i you know of anyone in my area who needs some pitching or batting lessons, send them over!!!!
