Yup...it's only to be expected.

I am so excited for spring...

This is what happens with unseasonably warm weather.

I feel like going outside to play in the warmth of spring and summer with this lovely song playing in the background.

I love Phineas and Ferb...

I need some snow and some sunshine.

Such an odd feeling.

Of Debit Cards and Wuthering Heights

I got a debit card recently. The first thing I bought with it was some cookies for my English class. Oh, the power of a little piece of plastic!

There's a really quite adorable shirt at work that I want to buy SO BADLY! But, I must not, for I must save my monies for tour.

I finished Wuthering Heights today. It left me feeling anxious...about what, you may ask? I've no idea...the ending was actually satisfying, and suffice it to say there is one relationship in Wuthering Heights that I approve of.

Regardlessssssssssssss...I don't know why I held down the s for so long...I just felt like it.

Anyway, I hope you all have the most splendid weekend!

Also, I WANT SOME SNOW!

Goodnight and good luck.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

I can never think of a post title...

I love this song!

It's from the movie Coraline (freaky movie...but I like it.)


This is a random picture! I love it! Enjoy!

Stuff cuz' I am bored.

I used this book to write a report about James Madison.

I barely used this book...it smells SO GOOD though! Really truly, the paper is super delicious smelling...is that weird to say? Oh well.

This is a pen from SUU. I didn't apply there to go to college.

It's backwards because that how the webcam takes pictures. I thought webcam was going to have one of those squiggly red lines under it, but it doesn't.


What is better than "studying" with earbuds (oh, so earbuds isn't a word Mr. Squiggly red line?) in, cell phone out, and a cup of diet sprite at your side? Why is it diet you ask? Cuz' that's what the mama bought. And cuz' isn't a word either apparently.

Random object of the day: A green notebook thing!

Well, good day to you all.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

Mah...

Basically I never write on this...but that's okay.

At our first marching band competition on Saturday we got 3rd place! I'm very pleased! We're only gonna get better.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

The Good Doctor...

Dear friends,

I do realize it's been a while. School, work, extra curricular activities, laziness, writers block...

But I do feel that something should be written about.

That something is Dr. Who.

It's a television show I didn't think I'd love as much I do now.

I do love it.

I adore it.

It's simply...FANTASTIC.

I recommend it to everyone and anyone out there.

Take that leap into the realm of science fiction and "tasteful British humor" (teehee, remember that Sarah?)

It will change your life.

Sincerely,

Kaitlin Rodgers

"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue..."

Marching Band...

It's come.

Those glorious days of delight.

Of freaking out because of difficult music.

Chaos in moving large instruments all over the place.

Wonder in how I'm supposed to juggle everything.

Ah, I love it.

What's life without the messy bits?

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

P.S. MARCHING BAND IS THE GREATEST!

Vacuuming the lawn...

Vacuuming is spelled with two u's? Weird...

Regardless, our lawn mower sounds like it's going to explode any second. I think it's reaching the end of its already short life.

It makes a Rrrrch...Rrrch sound as apposed to a Rrrrrrrrrrrchrrrrrrrrrrrch sound.

Well, happy summer.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

Music....

Inspires my soul.

Check these songs out.

Listen to them.

Love them.

I do.

And so many millions of others.

 

Well, there you go.

Hope you're all having an enjoyable last few days of summer!

Sincerely,

Kaitlin R.

Yes.

Sorry it's been awhile...

Two words:

Band Camp.

Best week of my life.

Oh Marching Band, I love you!

Sincerely,

Kaitlin R.

So much to...

Do.

Say.

Think.

Feel.

Remember.

Hope for.

Forget about.

Try.

Cry over.

Laugh over.

Love.

Dream about.

Think about.

Open.

Close.

Start.

Finish.

So much to...


Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

Hur, hur, hur...

Today was an adventure.

Of sorts.

I went to "New Employee Orientation" today at Harmons where I will work starting next week as a cashier. I'm so grateful for the job, but I'm very nervous. Especially after all the checker (aka cashier) horror stories I heard today. But it will be good.

Here a picture of me in my new uniform.

l

Yup...that's me. I love how one side of my arms are tan-ish and the other sides are pretty much just extremely white.

Speaking of white, a traveling sales man came around our house today who was selling cleaning supplies. He said I looked like, "Beyonce dipped in vanilla."

Well, good day.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

I am...

I am going to buy a type writer. A good ol' fashioned beautiful writer of the type.

For as long as I can remember I've always wanted a type writer. They fascinate me. I suppose it stems from my love off all things old fashioned, vintage, and antique.

Also, they make such a delicious sound.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

AND IT'S PLAIN TO SEE...

The writers block is still lingering, but I shall do my best.

This weekend I went to Idaho to visit my sister and brother in law. They have the cutest apartment ever! I loved it immensely. We hung out, went to the mall, ate delicious food and watched a lot of telly.

"Well, to work!"

I also pushed a peanut, yes, a peanut, from my sisters front door to the street with my nose...don't ask...

Also,

THE SECOND MOVEMENT FOR MARCHING BAND IS SO UTTERLY SPECTACULAR AND EVERY TIME I HEAR IT I GET GOOSEBUMPS AND I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO PASS OUT!

Yes, it's that amazing...

Next week I'm going to California for a Drum Major leadership conference!

It's gonna be a party.

And oh my goodness!!! I recently stumbled/was told about a Masterpiece Mystery series called "Sherlock" and IT IS UTTERLY FANTASTIC! It's Sherlock Holmes in modern day London (yesterday when I was telling my sister's friend about it I accidentally said "Latter-day London"...Ah, well, it was the Sabbath after all) Gah, it's fabulous!

Well, this has all been very random...I'm going to eat a cookie.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

It's slipping...

My desire to continue writing this blog is slipping, I can tell.

At least it's Summer. :)

Glorious sunshine.

Kaitlin R.

What to do, what to do, what to do today?

In my mind it is Friday.

Not Fryday.

Friday.

And on Fridays I have this alarming habit of staying up past mid-night and into the early hours of the morning.

What am I doing you may ask?

Reading.

And reading.

And reading some more.

Or watching the six hour version of Pride and Prejudice, or writing ridiculously long journal entries...but it's mostly reading.

What glorious things words are.

And Harry Potter, that's pretty glorious too. And Lord of the Rings...and...well, and a lot of other things.

The Picture of Dorian Gray though? Not so glorious...I recommend it nonetheless, although I'm not quite sure why.

Maire told me of a movie version she saw once where it's all black and white except for the picture and for some odd reason, somewhat unknown to me, it frazzled my nerves. I had a sort of strange dream/borderline nightmare about it.

It wasn't pleasant...

Keep your friends close, your enemies closer, and your best friends closest.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

If music be the food of love, play on...

There comes a moment in everyone's life when they encounter something so absolutely incredible, so mind bogglingly nerdy, so unbelievably fantastic that they cannot contain their joy and energy when it closes in upon them.

For me the "it" I'm referring to is less than two weeks away.

It is going to be utterly remarkable.

It is going to pass far to quickly.

It is going to bring triumphs and joys and sorrow and sore muscles.

It is Marching Band.

Ahhhhh! Glorious thing! I know, I know, it's so nerdy and weird and I suppose unhealthy that I love it this much...but if I could just convey to you how incredible it is, how much it's changed me, how fun and joyous it is...if I could just write a tenth of what it means to me then I believe you would understand.

It's one of those things you have to experience to get the full effect...but I love it and I am so flipping excited for the season to start!

Well, I'm off. Have pleasant dreams and grateful hearts!

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.


 

Why it's sad...

I feel sad that I lost my blog...I mean, it was almost to its 50th post. I had everything put in it's rightful place.

It was epic...I've lost a lot of good writing and I wish there was some way to get back all the posts at least. Somethings are lost that won't be found again.

Ah, well...sometimes new beginnings are what we need. Mayhaps losing the old Unbridled Enthusiasm is a blessing in diguise.

Regardless, it is gone and my tears cannot bring its return.

Sad panda...

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.

Argh!!!

I very, very, very much dislike hackers. Recently my gmail account was hacked.

My blog was "taken down" never to be heard of again. Many of my friends received spam from me (sorry guys), my account was all messed up and crap so I had to start over from gene one.

And that is why this blog is anotherunbridledenthusiasm.blogspot.com

Yup, new blog, same great taste. Tell your friends.

Sincerely,
Kaitlin R.
