<br />
What started out as a leisurely walk in Ethridge- which was pretty exciting in itself to me- ended up being one of the most exciting nights of my summer... I got to ride in an Amish Buggy!!<br />

Imagine: You've spent your whole life seeing these buggies everywhere wondering what it might be like to ride in one, and once you're older you finally consent to the fact that you will probably never know. Well just try to conjure up the excitement of getting to finally ride in one, and see what it's like to be in their shoes for a few minutes.<br />
<br />
Caroline and I were at her uncle's house feeding the dogs with her Nana, and then were about to start walking when her Nana asked if we wanted to walk down to Enus's house (he's the Amish man) because she had to ask him a question, and of course you can't call because they don't have phones! So we started walking. It turned out to be further than we thought, and there was one scary dog on the way that we didn't want to pass by again; it was also starting to get dark. Once we got there her Nana talked to Enus for a little bit and then said, "Well... It's getting pretty dark. We don't really want to walk back home, and it was a little longer than I thought." To which he replied, "Well the horse and buggy are still out, the boys can hitch it up and I can take y'all home." I was jumping with joy inside. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself.<br />
<br />
(Meanwhile the little Amish boys are checking out Caroline in her "bathing suit" aka her tanktop and shorts. They had probably never seen a naked lady up that close.<br />
<br />
Anyways, so we climbed in the buggy and it was surprisingly comfortable and had a nice view. It went a lot faster and smoother than I would have thought. I even made Caroline turn and look out the back just for fun. There was a nice breeze the whole way, and the seats were padded and covered with some fur, we're still not sure exactly where that came from, but we don't really want to know.<br />
<br />
It just reinstated my dream to live in Ethridge and have my own buggy to take nice Sunday ride.Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-51518227665024710962011-05-03T21:29:00.000-07:002011-05-03T21:29:22.657-07:00Ethridge, TNI want to live where the green grass grows. There is something so rejuvenating even thinking about being in the country and riding in the car with the windows down and skinny dipping and just being free. Anyone who has never lived near the country won't understand this feeling, and I pity them. There is nothing more beautiful in the whole world than watching the sun set over an open field of wildflowers in the summer.<br />

</i></div><div>This post is more as a sense of therapy than it is for your enjoyment, so if I were you I'd just skip over this one and just read the poem at the top. Lately for some reason I've had the mean reds. If you don't know what those are then you need to watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" immediately. I feel like everything around me is as fragile as a house of cards, and with a single sneeze or the blink of an eye everything could fall. I don't know why I feel this way, except past experiences that seemed a lot like this at first all led to the same thing-- nothing. It's hard not to be cautious when everything seems to be falling into place and so perfect. My favorite line is "Everything's going great but..." and then comes the killer. Part of this feeling is probably coming from beginning a new stage in my life and having no idea where I'll be at this time next year (mentally, physically, everything). Sure, I've got everything planned out now, but at the same time everything seems to be hanging on a thread. It's quite terrible feeling like you're in some sort of limbo phase. In one window- everything is perfect and dandy and you know you shouldn't even think about complaining but in the next window- you're scared. scared that if you're too naive or allow things to be too wonderful without being cautious then it's going to be even worse if everything does crash down. This leaves you with the option of trying to realize what the problem is and possibly sabotaging it all, or letting everything just float by and run its course without your input or questions. Whenever I feel this way I can go on a walk, and by the end I feel all better and refreshed. But right now it's raining. And I have lots of packing to do. And studying. And paper editing. I just want to get in bed and read my kindle. </div>Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-37658576828088206432011-04-25T18:44:00.000-07:002011-04-25T18:44:12.044-07:00Hip Hop Happy Easter!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQP7dLzYGMMuEI3Dx-SLkiBxDdR60gnfjnHehpc-STndoLbvi3tyuXzgpklzAmB62Kwl00YUGuyQ-HPjtYlxjLM7NR3M4YcYE5RJy_yYYT-W6k5ygRdU1JDRrMmAf-9ES-4mYH_6TrxSE/s1600/audrey%252Cviii%252Ctypo%252Caudrey%252Chepburn%252Cquotes%252Cblack%252Cand%252Cwhite%252Chandwriting-df25f1ba605f7270ad23e45a3482d567_h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQP7dLzYGMMuEI3Dx-SLkiBxDdR60gnfjnHehpc-STndoLbvi3tyuXzgpklzAmB62Kwl00YUGuyQ-HPjtYlxjLM7NR3M4YcYE5RJy_yYYT-W6k5ygRdU1JDRrMmAf-9ES-4mYH_6TrxSE/s320/audrey%252Cviii%252Ctypo%252Caudrey%252Chepburn%252Cquotes%252Cblack%252Cand%252Cwhite%252Chandwriting-df25f1ba605f7270ad23e45a3482d567_h.jpg" width="272" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I love my life. That's really all I have to say right now. Not to make you jealous if you're not feeling the same, but I can't help smiling when I think about how awesome, although somewhat uncertain, my life is right now. Thirty page paper due? Possible first C ever in Ethics? Pssh. Who cares. (Actually I don't mean that. I'll absolutely die if I make a C). I'm graduating in two weeks, I have awesome friends, the best friend in the whole universe, a wonderful family, and the sweetest boyfriend in the world. Something about being home and spending a weekend with everyone you care about is so rejuvenating. The bonfire and sleepover we had Friday was much needed, and long overdue. It has been way too long since we crammed three girls into one bed to snuggle and gossip all night. And everyone knows my favorite place in the world is Ethridge (particularly Caroline's Nana's and Ethel Young's). I don't think anything could rain on my little parade right now.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">What in the world would it be like to live during three different centuries? Walter Breuning, the world's oldest man until he passed away today, lived from 1897 till 2011. Most people who know me know that I have a soft spot for old people. Old people and stories. I could listen to people's stories about "the olden days" for hours. My great-aunt Ethel Young is my favorite story teller in the world. I sincerely hope that when I'm old a.) I can remember lots of good stories and b.) people will come visit me and just sit and listen to my wisdom (because I'm going to have lots of it) and funny anecdotes. When reading </span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/14/walter-breuning-worlds-oldest-man-dies_n_849486.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">this article </span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> I also learned that there is one person older than Walter, and her name is Besse and she was born 26 days before him. It is now my life goal to find and interview her. Some of the most interesting things in Walter's interview were not only his tips for living a long life, but also all of the things he had seen throughout his life time and how he felt about it. </span><br />

<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"></span>Then there's the hardest part. It's a lesson Breuning said he learned from his grandfather: Accept death. </li>
</ul><blockquote>"We're going to die. Some people are scared of dying. Never be afraid to die. Because you're born to die," he said.</blockquote><blockquote>About George W. Bush: "He got us into war. We can't get out of war now," he said. "I voted for him. But that's about all. His father was a pretty good president, not too bad. The kid had too much power. He got himself wrapped up and that's it." </blockquote><blockquote>Times are a changin': "I think every change that we've ever made, ever since I was a child – 100 years – every change has been good for the people," Breuning said. "My God, we used to have to write with pen and ink, you know, (for) everything. When the machines came, it just made life so much easier."</blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">How precious is this? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Breuning would spent his days in an armchair outside the Bundtrock's office in a dark suit and tie, sitting near a framed Guinness certificate proclaiming him the world's oldest man.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<blockquote>On war: "War never cured anything. Look at the North and South right today. They're still fighting over the damn war. They'll never get over that," he said. </blockquote><blockquote>On life: "Everybody says your mind is the most important thing about your body. Your mind and your body. You keep both busy, and by God you'll be here a long time," he said. </blockquote><blockquote>On dieting: "How many people in this country say that they can't take the weight off?" he said. "I tell these people, I says, 'Get on a diet and stay on it. You'll find that you're in much better shape, feel good.'"</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>Walter, you lived a really long time. Longer than I think I want to live. But I wish I had gotten to sit with you by your Guinness certificate and hear all of your stories.Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-60110080667994441842011-04-12T08:19:00.000-07:002011-04-12T08:23:10.300-07:00For your viewing pleasure<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/21976684" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/21976684">Ours "Balancer"</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/lamaisondemontable">La Maison Démontable</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/22047266" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/22047266">Corduroi - "All Ways"</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/mutuallymade">mutuallymade</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/22009841" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/22009841">MTV brasil</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/vjsuave">vjsuave</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-75321896757180223902011-04-11T19:54:00.000-07:002011-04-12T08:23:43.682-07:00Things I Love Today<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeLpUMKugtU6GbL82cyUmhEZlxUMVRF3eznQk5VxtSMZWC7vfLOJSeNDAjU1nXumxwpNeB-GYwJ4A0J_tLyHFtIKRC9DOQDz8Nskg-JyiIQBr26qcMY_1rLiaI0FdTYs5IP6YK2HmJrKg/s1600/il_570xN.194234600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeLpUMKugtU6GbL82cyUmhEZlxUMVRF3eznQk5VxtSMZWC7vfLOJSeNDAjU1nXumxwpNeB-GYwJ4A0J_tLyHFtIKRC9DOQDz8Nskg-JyiIQBr26qcMY_1rLiaI0FdTYs5IP6YK2HmJrKg/s320/il_570xN.194234600.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><ul><li>81 degree weather</li>

</tbody></table>I'm talking about literal dry bones. Dead people. Being void of breath (or spirit). Today in church the sermon was taken from <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel+37%3A1-14&version=NIV">Ezekiel 37:1-14</a> about the valley of dry bones, and how God commanded Ezekiel to preach to the dry bones so that they may become new and reassembled and understand the awesomeness of God. This got me thinking about how so many of us are just dry bones in our everyday life. Not necessarily just spiritually, but disconnected from our general surroundings. When it comes to my academics, I've definitely been a pair of dry bones this semester. Call it senioritis if you want, but let's get real and just admit it's laziness. Sure I do enough to get by and have worked hard the past four years, but forgetting more than three ethics quizzes in two months is a little excessive. I got so burnt out on studying for the LSAT and worrying about law school applications that I fooled myself into thinking that school was over and I needed to rest up before I begin the treacherous downfall of my social life called law school. But this is a fallacy. I have a feeling the day I graduate (and for ever and ever afterwards) I'll be kicking myself for not taking advantage of all of the learning I could have done in college. Everyone always says, "If I knew how to study in college like I do law school I would've made straight A's no doubt." And I'm sure this will be me, so why not start with the last semester while I still can and try to pick up the slack. I actually really enjoy school --nerd-- and from now on I'm going to step it up and get my act together.<br />
<br />
I've also let this happen some what in my social life. I think it's just because we are all so busy with our own lives and planning our futures that we are forgetting to enjoy every single second of the present, and with one tiny month (barely) before graduation I want to make the most of my last few weeks at Auburn and make memories with my friends that I will never forget (while also keeping up with my academic resolution). I think part of it is the environment I have placed myself in. I need to get out more, go for long walks, and enjoy the little wonders of life on a daily basis. I'm not a lazy person. I'm not a dumb person. I think I was just a bunch of dry bones laying around waiting to be put back together.<br />

<br />
After much debate, I have decided (thanks to the suggestion of a very dear young man) to give up caffeine, particularly coffee. It is going to be absolutely terrible, and probably way harder than my previous sacrifices (such as soft drinks and iced tea), but I think I can do it. I may be a little grouchy at first, or even sluggish in class, but overall I think it will be good for me. After all, what's the point of giving up something you're really not too attached to? But I can say with fervor, that I am 100% attached to coffee.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Coffee leads men to trifle away their time, scald their chops, and spend their money, all for a little base, black, thick, nasty, bitter, stinking nauseous puddle water. ~The Women's Petition Against Coffee, 1674</blockquote>Maybe this quote will help motivate me... a little; however, I have a feeling coffee has changed a little since the 15th century.<br />

</div>Sometimes things happen in our life that don't seem fair. We don't understand why it happened, and try to think back on things we could have done to prevented whatever it is that we are unhappy about. Rather than doing this, I am going to try to heed the above quotation and seek out the light in every situation that I might be bothered by. While I despise the saying "Everything happens for a reason," because I believe it allows some people to be lazy and just assume that anything that happens isn't because of a lack of motive or decision making, I am going to try and come to terms with displeasing incidents and try to make the best out of it, without giving up at the same time.Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-32162772285188701872011-03-02T11:56:00.000-08:002011-03-02T11:56:11.821-08:00Don't Judge MeIf I could be anyone it would be Natalie Portman, or of course Audrey Hepburn. Last night when I couldn't sleep I found myself spending an insane, and unmentionable, amount of time stalking Natalie Portman on youtube. I know that's creepy, but at least I have friends - like Sam Lee Lam- to share my obsession. If you feel the same way then enjoy: <br />

My grandparents are coming to Auburn to visit ME! before I go home for week long festivities and pounds upon pounds of stuffing, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and so much more. My grandparents have never been to Auburn before, so words can't even describe how excited I am-- except... they are about 6 hours later in their E.T.A. but I'm still happy they're making the trip down to visit. I think I will take them to the basketball game tonight and then dinner somewhere downtown. I thought about taking them bowling, which I think would be very interesting (and fun) but they voted on basketball game, so that's that. </div>Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-80870566663373441052010-11-20T14:15:00.000-08:002010-11-20T18:52:54.681-08:00A Royal Affair<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyvBJ4iECaoHJTKHiK025zQQTzFCvuoXTxvj6MnJntiqvJWPYjjxIE34v27EirhvvxuCG2z7D2telQtUSf5-wJBAxjQBDk8b2MKSAKlXBVs8jDrV5n4BnjlFa3lkLYW-rEHtfhbz9JbKA/s1600/kate-middleton-engagement-ring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyvBJ4iECaoHJTKHiK025zQQTzFCvuoXTxvj6MnJntiqvJWPYjjxIE34v27EirhvvxuCG2z7D2telQtUSf5-wJBAxjQBDk8b2MKSAKlXBVs8jDrV5n4BnjlFa3lkLYW-rEHtfhbz9JbKA/s400/kate-middleton-engagement-ring.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you're anything like me then you are <i>obsessed </i>with all things royal. Ever since I was little and heard my mom telling the stories of how she followed Princess Diana and Prince Charles' wedding and stayed up at 4am to watch it on TV I have always hoped that I would be able to have the same experience with a royal couple in our generation. Alas, the time has come. Prince William and Kate Middleton have officially announced their engagement. They were actually engaged in October, in Kenya, and kept it very hush hush until now. Kate was given Princess Diana's wedding ring, because William felt that doing so would allow his mother to be there in a special way. The wedding is set for late April, but could be moved to the summer depending on availability and what is convenient for the Royal Family. Apparently, Kate and William are already living together in a sleepy little town in North Wales, and the Queen is thrilled with this. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In a way, Kate represents a modern-day Cinderella. Apparently, growing up she had a poster of Prince William on her wall. She is a "commoner," and her mom was a stewardess once, but now her family owns their own party supply business and are millionaires- which explains her impeccable clothing choices. She and William met while in college at St. Andrews, and he reportedly paid $300 to watch her in a fashion show on campus. They've been dating over 8 years, with a short breakup, and supposedly it's her loyalty that kept William's attention. While this story may give little girls in England false hopes about becoming a princess someday, it also shows that class barriers can be overcome and it is possible for love to win out in the end over propriety and stuffy expectations [to marry nobility in this case].</div>Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-35480564265381935192010-11-17T21:17:00.000-08:002010-11-17T21:21:19.397-08:00Bakingdom: Butterbeer?!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">6 12-ounce bottles cream soda [I prefer IBC (which is vegan) or Polar Classics Vanilla, but any will work perfectly]</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">3 teaspoons butter extract</span><br />

Place 1/2 teaspoon of butter extract in each glass. Pour 12 ounces of butterbeer into each glass. Lightly stir, if necessary.</span></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">To make the foam: In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium high speed for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar and continue whipping until very soft peaks begin to form, another 3-4 minutes (if you need to whip more or less, then be sure to do so, the times can vary quite a bit based on environment). Stir in the vanilla and butter extracts, then whip for another 30 seconds or so, until soft peaks form.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Spoon a generous portion of foam on top of each glass of butterbeer. Serve immediately.</span><br />

</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Romance was so vibrant and uplifting back then. Now I feel as if it's practically nonexistent; between text messages, facebook, gchat, and weekends at the Skybar relationships have become superficial and there's a lack of excitement and emotional connection. Instead of our heart beating quickly when he walks us to the door, (which, unfortunately, rarely happens in most cases) now it comes when we receive a lousy text message. What would it take to make a grown man sing in the rain just from being in the presence of a lovely lady? Why do we, as a generation of independent successful young women, accept anything less than real romance? We have allowed men, as well as ourselves, to become lazy in the ways of love, and I think that's a tragedy. Maybe it's because we seem too busy for real romance, and a simple text message will have to do, but in reality that wastes more time and isn't as efficient as nice old fashioned courting. That's the type of romance I'm looking for. To be frank, perhaps I'm so adamant about this type of romance because I've experienced it before. You may ask why it didn't work out, and I'll tell you it was not because of the lack of romance or interest. As cliché</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">as it sounds, it truly just was not the right time or the right place. Maybe somewhere down the road I'll find it again, but until then I will stick to old movies. C'est la vie, une fille peut rêver.</span></div>Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-15497112287740344522010-11-15T09:21:00.000-08:002010-11-15T09:21:39.659-08:00Appropriate for today<object style="background-image:url(http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/iu7GcNWunE4/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iu7GcNWunE4?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iu7GcNWunE4?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="425" height="344" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object>Katherine Susannahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03906966921181659648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049740799589838864.post-35299920262517713602010-11-11T23:20:00.000-08:002010-11-11T23:23:10.137-08:00I can make you laugh.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw23DNbJ1MV2XPJIX3f1NI69Vw49xBLKcHXgnIn4Hz1yrGR2MwT1WEFXQnfNIt2MQs8TnrZkjNk0Ce6renGZ1Du9002k0652phxpowrKRD-CTMJMhMb6_CR8ceSkxm75DWY5MXLIca1aQ/s1600/tumblr_l7z1cizTRU1qa28y8o1_500_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw23DNbJ1MV2XPJIX3f1NI69Vw49xBLKcHXgnIn4Hz1yrGR2MwT1WEFXQnfNIt2MQs8TnrZkjNk0Ce6renGZ1Du9002k0652phxpowrKRD-CTMJMhMb6_CR8ceSkxm75DWY5MXLIca1aQ/s320/tumblr_l7z1cizTRU1qa28y8o1_500_thumb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />
