I currently have three projects on needles. I thought that this could be a fun way to track different projects as well as progress on them. This week I chose a hat I am almost finished with, which I am making for my dad.<br />

<br />
I used the <a href="http://www.churchmouseyarns.com/collections/churchmouse-patterns-hats/products/pressed-rib-cap-muffler-pattern#.VrLTDNUrLIU" target="_blank">Pressed Rib Cap & Muffler Pattern</a> from <a href="http://www.churchmouseyarns.com/" target="_blank">Churchmouse Yarns & Teas</a>. I have made this hat pattern once before for my brother who likes his hats on the slouchy side so I added extra length to it. Instead of three inches of each yarn I like to knit three and a half inches to add some extra length to make sure it covers the ears.<br />
<br />

I used two different yarns for this hat. The variegated yarn is Manos del Uruguay Maxima in the color camo. To complement this yarn I used Astral from The Alpaca Yarn Company in Gold Rush. While I will include links to both of these yarns, please check your local yarn stores first. I always try to support my local yarn stores because I highly enjoy visiting them and being able to feel and see the yarn I am buying in person. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I'm in North Carolina...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a very long time since I have posted; I know I suck at this I need to take more time to do the things I enjoy. So how did I end up in North Carolina for the summer...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I have mentioned before I am a Biochemistry major with minors in Biology and Computer Science. My ultimate goal is to work in Biomedical research. I currently work in undergraduate research at UW-L and absolutely love it. If I could stay in lab all day and not go to class I totally would. This winter when I was talking with my adviser about summer grant writing she told me about the Biophysics Society Summer Program. I filled out the application and found out on my birthday that I had been accepted to the program. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Biophysics Summer Program is a twelve week course which started in May and ends July 31st, with most if not all expenses paid along with a stipend for the work we accomplish. The program consists of a lecture series, a seminar series where we meet professors from some of the top schools in the country, as much lab work as I can possibly squeeze in, and some time for fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A picture from the Durham Bulls game we went to. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been an amazing experience. I have made many new friends in the program and have learned many valuable tips to help me reach my goals. </div>

I may have a slight addiction to buying beauty products and from this I have found some favorites over the years. So I decided to share my all time favorite products that I would like not to ever have to live without (though I know I could if I had too). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So first I am going to start with products that are more general hygiene type products. So some skin care, hair products, and a random nail polish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvhp3QwgyjowAepwlwcHlh_VX9W-S3X6_rZd0yO9Y9QeU6YIxv6r3DORHpAfrPFMUGiBAvuBAO1HBPClaHJ8GQ6hkgvOlybHNIjWxifQz6u6K9sZCvNPyQISHjoxEfduFOCkTcUy8EKbJo/s1600/IMG_0749%5B1%5D_numbers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvhp3QwgyjowAepwlwcHlh_VX9W-S3X6_rZd0yO9Y9QeU6YIxv6r3DORHpAfrPFMUGiBAvuBAO1HBPClaHJ8GQ6hkgvOlybHNIjWxifQz6u6K9sZCvNPyQISHjoxEfduFOCkTcUy8EKbJo/s1600/IMG_0749%5B1%5D_numbers.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going Clockwise: 1. Pond's Evening Soothe Wet Cleansing Towelettes ($5.49 at drugstores). 2. Smith's Rosebud Salve ($6.00 at Sephora). 3. Batiste Dry Shampoo in dark and deep brown ($7.49 at drugstores). 4. Essie Nail Polish in Pink-a-boo ($8.00 at Target). 4. Clinique Super City Block SPF 35 Sunscreen ($23.00 at Clinique Counters). </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now as for why I like them. 1. I have tried many different types of make-up remover wipes and for me I have found that these take off my make up the best without irritating my skin. I will try different ones every so often but I always come back to these. 2. I absolutely LOVE the Smith's Rosebud Salve. I use this on my lips every night before bed as well as on occasional dry patches of skin and my cuticles. The next morning everything is smooth and hydrated. 3. I have tried a few dry shampoos and they all have left a little bit of a white cast to my hair. The Batiste dry shampoo in dark and deep brown doesn't do this and sucks up the oil in my fine hair. 4. When in doubt I uses Essie Pink-a-Boo on my nails. I is a light pink with sparkles in it that pretty much goes with everything. Unfortunately I think this was a limited edition color, if that is the case I would go for any light pink shade. 5. The Clinique Super City Block Sun Block is my go to Sunscreen for my face. I have really acne prone oily skin so I use a lot of the Clinique skin care and foundations. My skin also BURNS really bad if I am not careful in the sun so all year round I use sunscreen at LEAST on my face. I have never had break outs from this product like I have from others I have tried so I'm going to stick to using it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for some of my makeup favorites. This is the fun part I like to have fun with my makeup, but I also have my everyday more natural favorites. As you will more than likely notice I am a lips girl and never feel my makeup is complete without my lips done. They are usually done in a fun bright color so I balance that with the rest of my face being more on the neutral side. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyD3bWBQf1dSDOa9JsQYVibkmHkkkO4mfpWgODYME8pbNjL53lMN0fXFuAuP_RunTG96lb5XnKltHoD3axDyWWJ0ye_CnhX_aONvRvME00zaq_aNwm-5lLJL6Qmpl6ln1GXqlU9oh2JKWJ/s1600/IMG_0752%5B1%5D_numbers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyD3bWBQf1dSDOa9JsQYVibkmHkkkO4mfpWgODYME8pbNjL53lMN0fXFuAuP_RunTG96lb5XnKltHoD3axDyWWJ0ye_CnhX_aONvRvME00zaq_aNwm-5lLJL6Qmpl6ln1GXqlU9oh2JKWJ/s1600/IMG_0752%5B1%5D_numbers.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again sort of Clockwise: 1. Clinique Touch Base For Eyes in Buff Lighting ($15.00 at Clinique Counters). 2. NYX Nude Matte Shadow in Lap Dance ($4.99 at Ulta). 3. Pixi Quartette in Shades of Taupe (Found at Target on Sale still on Pixi website). 4. Clinique High Impact Mascara ($16.50 at Clinique Counters, a mini is pictured). 5. Clinique Instant Lift for Brows in Soft Brown ($16.50 at Clinique Counters). 6. NYX Jumbo Eye shadow Pencil in Yogurt ($4.49 at Ulta). 7. Stila Kitten Eye shadow (in a limited edition trio at Ulta years ago). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again for the Why. 1. Clinique Touch Base for Eyes in Buff Lighting. This is a base that actually works on my eyelids, again they are also super oily. I will also use this color on days when I am running a little late because I can swipe some on with my fingers pat a little Stila Kitten over it and be out the door. 2. The NYX Nude Matte eye shadow in Lap Dance is one of my go to blending colors along with being a base eye shadow and a matte highlight. 3. The Pixi Quartette in Shades of Taupe is probably my most used set of eye shadows I can use the lighter colors with Stila Kitten for a lighter look or darken it up with the deeper colors. 4. Clinique High Impact Mascara is my tried and true mascara I will venture out and try others but I always come back the this one. 5. Clinique Instant Lift for Brows, I have a scar in my right eyebrow so filling them in is a must for me. I not only use the shimmer side under my brow but for an all over the face highlight. 6. NYX Jumbo Eye shadow pencil in Yogurt is one of the products I use as a base if I am not using my Clinique on for some reason. I will also use this on the outer third of my lower lash line to look more awake. 7. Stila Kitten is my all time favorite eye shadow it is a rare occasion when I am NOT wearing it. I will pat this on over a base and be done. </div>

Now on to lips!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Clinique Chubby Sticks are one of my favorite lip products there is a wide variety of colors some more sheer and the Chubby Intense are very pigmented. These leave my lips hydrated and are a fool proof way to add some color. From front to back are Super Strawberry, Oversized Orange, and Pudgy Peony. (I also have Mightiest Maraschino which is not pictured). These are $17.00 at Clinique Counters.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another on of my all time favorite lip products from Clinique is Different Lipstick in Shy. This is another color that I through on and don't worry about. I will reapply during the day but not often. I am excited for fall so I can start wearing it again. I wear it fall through spring but its too much for me in the summer. This is $16.00 at Clinique Counters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So lets talk about my all time favorite in the world lip glosses. The Stila Lip Glazes. I absolutely LOVE them. If I could only have one lip product for the rest of my life these would be it. The full sizes are expensive and I do not have a full sized one. I look for the mini sets at Ulta and Sephora which are a much better deal and I have still not gone through any of them and some are getting to the point where they should be thrown out :(. </div>

I literally spent and hour in a department store one time trying to fine a perfume that I liked probably driving the sales associate nuts in the process. I am on my second bottle of this perfume and would definitely say it is my go to. It is the Versace Bright Crystal.</div>

This past week our lab group along with another lab group ran a science camp. We had two groups of kids everyday, the first was fifth and sixth graders, and the second was seventh through ninth graders. We ran five days worth of experiments all about the molecules of life, so DNA, protein, bacteria, and other molecules. It was exhausting and we were all borderline zombies by the end to the week. From the parent feedback we got most of the kids enjoyed themselves. It was a great experience but hopefully never again. I do want kids someday but that day is very, very far away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am definitely ready to be back in my normal lab next week!</div>

Lately I have been knitting up a storm. I finished my first pair of mittens and I am in love with them. They turned out great. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a pattern I found <a href="http://www.freevintageknitting.com/mittens/615-mittens-pattern.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I got the yarn from Rainbow Gifts and Yarn, it is Elegant Yarns Kaleidoscope. It is 100% wool and was really nice to work with. I LOVE Rainbow Gifts and Yarns it is a wonderful yarn store and one of my favorite things about it is that they have alpacas there. I love visiting the alpacas and right now there are babies.</div>

I got through another semester of college and survived finals with little exhaustion and reversion back to childhood. Finals always get a little crazy and majorly stressful so things like this picture happen. </div>

Yes I am upside down in chair, and yes it was hard to get up. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am staying at my college for the summer for research. I started working with a cell biology professor in the fall for my undergraduate research. Through lots of hard work we made it possible for me to stay and work on our research project for the summer. I absolutely love it and for the most part we have a lot of fun in our lab group and with one of the other groups in our shared lab space. Tomorrow is someones 21st birthday so we got birthday treats today! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in the past semester and about six months now I have done many things. I have survived my 21st birthday. I have applied for and received my first research grant. As mentioned survived my finals and moved twice. So I have been super busy like always. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like always I have done some shopping which has been a little bit more difficult since I lost some weight. I don't know what size I am anymore. Due to that I had this conversation with my best friend Lyssa which I found funnier that it probably is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On Friday this week I will be heading home for a little over a weeks vacation and will TRY (I will do my best but probably fail like always) to blog a little more when I am home. I will also try more for the rest of the summer. For more frequent short updates of my life check my <a href="http://instagram.com/katygoodreau" target="_blank">Instagram</a> where I will be trying to post everyday. </div>

On Wednesday I went to Milwaukee with my mom, and of course when we were there we had to take some time to go shopping. There are only a few stores that I wanted to go to, so when we do go shopping it usually doesn't take to long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first place we went was Old Navy. I love Old Navy for my basics and occasionally dresses, but the majority of what I get at Old Navy is tank tops, jeans, and cardigans. While we were there my mom also got by brother a bunch of v-neck tee shirts. He only wears V-necks because "if I wear crew necks, my head is too big for the neck and they stretch out." So I recently have lost some weight and none of my pants fit me so my mom got me a new pair of jeans. The jeans are a dark wash of the Old Navy Flirt Skinny (I got them in an 8 regular, I was a 12 this fall). I also picked up three of the Women's Perfect Rib-Knit Tanks. (I wear these pretty much everyday as undershirts)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I have a little bit of an addiction to H&M. H&M is kind of similar to Forever21 but I have much better luck at H&M, plus I think the clothes is better quality. I always walk into H&M and find arm fulls of clothes that make it past the initial stage of my clothes shopping criteria and onto the trying on stage. In the dressing rooms is where the massive amounts of clothes turn into a few items that come home with me. On this particular trip seventeen items went to the dressing room with me and I left with five. Also on this particular trip to H&M they had a 15% student discount for spring break (Eeeeeeekkkkkk!!!!) I got a really cute pair of pants that are black with a white dot pattern on them. I got a pink pleated ruffly skirt that is made out of a suit like material, which is surprisingly heavy. I also got three of the same style of sweater in different colors. I got a navy blue, orange, and black with small white dots. Plus I got 15% of my purchase. I LOVE H&M.</div>

My mom and I had a lot of fun. There is still another part to this shopping trip that I am currently planning to blog about soon. I am also planning a life update, because I have been insanely busy lately. I am also working on a post for may which is something I don't believe I have mentioned on my blog before. So hopefully I can successfully work blogging into my schedule. </div>

For the third part of my recent shopping it will be the school supplies and things for my dorm that I have purchased recently. Its from various stores and is pretty much a bunch of random things that I needed for school this year. A lot of this is from around town but some of it is from different shopping trips my mom and I went on one to Green Bay and the other to Milwaukee for a doctors appointment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was in Milwaukee this last time my mom and I went to Bay Shore Mall I went to H&M clothes shopping (post to follow) and to the Vera Bradley store to pick up a student agenda. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their stuff and was really excited to get and Agenda Book from them this year. While I was their looking around I also found a little fold-able sticky note thing that I got for caring around in my backpack so they don't get wreaked. </div>

This is all of the recent clothes I bought folded. I got a denim dress, a super cute striped shirt, I light pink sweater, coral pants, and my favorite bra from aerie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below I will show what everything looks like on. I am wearing the same style of bra in the pictures because it is my favorite and I have three of them. Unfortunately they are discontinuing the Paige bra, which is my favorite, which I am not happy about. It took me years to find a bra that I like and that fits me. I am rather small chested and they didn't really grow until I was a freshman in college, I didn't even fit well into an a cup in high school so it took me forever to finally find bras that fit me well. So I finally found one that I like at aerie and they go and discontinue it! So soon I will be back to the drawing board to find a new bra style that I like. I will definitely still go to aerie because they carry smaller sizes that fit me. </div>

So I've done some shopping recently (surprise, surprise!). I have gotten a bunch of craft supplies, some things for my dorm, and some new clothes for school. So I decided to divide it up into three parts crafts (part 1), clothes (part 2), and school (part 3). It started with a couple weeks ago when my family and I (my parents, a visiting uncle, and my grandma) all went to Marquette to visit my brother and so my uncle and grandma could see my brothers new apartment. So we are in Marquette which has a pretty good bead store along with a Michael's. So my mom and I got go to these stores which made us happy, because we also took my grandma to a department store which was vary interesting to say the least (shes 84 and a little on the nutty side, but the sales ladies were nice and she didn't make anyone cry). </div>

My mom took this past week off to hang out with me and to get stuff done around the house. So we were going to got to Green Bay on Tuesday but I wasn't feeling well so we couldn't. My mom knows I haven't been feeling well for awhile so she got me in to see one of the PA's at my doctors office and was able to get my medication changed and I am already starting to feel better (they wouldn't change it for me just kept saying an increase in dose would help, but it kept making me sicker). So today we went to Green Bay and did some more craft shopping to feed both of our addictions this time (hers is cross stitch). So we went to the cross stitch store in Green Bay where I got a pattern I have been eyeing up for awhile. We also went to Joann Fabrics to get a few various things, I got beads and findings. Then we did some other shopping which will be in following posts. </div>

That was all of the craft items I picked up recently. Sorry for the long post, but it happens. There will be a couple shopping blogs to follow. All of this craft stuff really makes me realize I need to get my Etsy up and running. Follow my twitter and instagram for updates on that. My instagram is not currently linked to my blog but will be by they end of the day tomorrow (Friday August 9th 2013. I'm on us central time). And my Twitter should be un-privatized.<br />

One of my goals for the summer was to learn how to knit. My mom tried to teach me when I was little and I never really picked up on it so it just fell to the way side. For the last couple of years I have wanted to learn but didn't have much time and didn't feel very good. So I decided that this summer would be the summer. My mom is a really good knitter so I asked her if she would teach me and she said she would help but she wouldn't teach me completely herself because she knits weird (she's right handed but learned from a left handed person so apparently she knits weird). So we found a couple YouTube videos and she helped supplement what I learned from the video (an easier way to cast on). My goal was to get up to the level of the hat pattern on the wrapper of the the yarn a bought shown <a href="http://thepinkchronicles-kathryn.blogspot.com/2013/06/shopping-june-book-list-update.html" target="_blank">here</a>. So we found a pair of needles (there are a ton, we have the ones my mom bought as well and a ton that my grandma gave us) and a ball of peach yarn (light colors work best for seeing what you are doing when your learning a new stitch), and sat if our basement hooked my computer up to the TV so the picture was bigger and I learned how to knit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIEXJMPffclO-FtsirdMhxel-ooSf1DqxASZb83gZ1x8_g2pZFtP8U_FrKfKYvB5Y3534N7fkfBHFDlH5yUkNCkrEW4IJ8oLzn6k6Fs0bu_qM2QZGVagmvBKQuQjdy5ddqZpDDLkeDnNBR/s1600/031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIEXJMPffclO-FtsirdMhxel-ooSf1DqxASZb83gZ1x8_g2pZFtP8U_FrKfKYvB5Y3534N7fkfBHFDlH5yUkNCkrEW4IJ8oLzn6k6Fs0bu_qM2QZGVagmvBKQuQjdy5ddqZpDDLkeDnNBR/s320/031.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first little swatch of knitting. It is just straight knitting also called the garter stitch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I got a pair of circular needles which I bought so I had the right length for my hat (my mom said I would be happier with them especially because I plan on doing more than one hat). I practiced with the circular needles for a bit before I started my hat. At this point I also learned how to purl. This can be seen on my next swatch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg9VGeh_TJn21wzLvMljhVTESPEIqF1Fw6LXxGEK7cDXrWDTLPPSVne_Xrg6tDA6O5cqc8aNfOE2TcJdCOqVR76X3kObMKl2qVOrw7_RnUEoFHPm3kWl0GquceitkxDkGljo9FMCKf3pr3/s1600/032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg9VGeh_TJn21wzLvMljhVTESPEIqF1Fw6LXxGEK7cDXrWDTLPPSVne_Xrg6tDA6O5cqc8aNfOE2TcJdCOqVR76X3kObMKl2qVOrw7_RnUEoFHPm3kWl0GquceitkxDkGljo9FMCKf3pr3/s320/032.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The swatch I did on my circular needles. The is knitting, purling, and a combination of the two to practice ribbing before I did my hat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I started my hat! I was really excited to start my hat. I used Red Heart yarn from their Gumdrop collection in the colors Cherry and Orange. I followed the directions the hat on the wrapper of the yarn and I LOVE how it turned out. It turned out great despite my problem with knitting on the inside of the circular needles (my mom is going the help me fix this problem so I learn to knit on the right side of the needles). This turn out not to be a supper big deal because I was knitting a hat not socks when I finished I just had to flip the hat inside out and it was fine. It fits perfectly and covers my ears. I am supper happy with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My hat! I am supper proud of it. I may even make a matching scarf eventually. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I told the lady that I am babysitting for this summer that I learned how to knit she told me she had all of this yarn that she had that she didn't want anymore and asked if I wanted it so I said sure. So she gave me all of this funky yarn pictured below. I don't know what I am going to do with all of it but I'm sure I'll find a use. (I already have for the green). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Funky Yarn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The green funky yarn is Moda-Dea Lazy Daisy by Coats. There were three balls of this yarn so I decided I would try to make a scarf out of it. I started with US10 bamboo needles and was having a rough time so I decided to try some metal needles to I went to the needle stash and found a pair of metal US10. This is working MUCH better. I plan of finishing this scarf by crocheting a daisy or two for it. Hopefully it turns out cute (I'll keep you updated). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So then on Thursday my mom and I went to the Alpaca place (Rainbow Gifts and Yarn). I bought some food pellets and went and fed the alpacas and pet them and then we went and bought yarn (and needles). I bought a set of double ended US8 needles to finish my hat. And the YARN. I bought some Little Flowers Yarn in 2232, some Cascade Yarns Cascade Kid Seta in Shade 10 to make a scarf like my mom made for my aunt shown <a href="http://thehooplessstitcher.blogspot.com/2013/07/how-do-you-tell-right-from-wrong.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I also bought some Premier Yarns Starbella to make a ruffle scarf that is shown on the wrapper. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have found a new hobby. I still love my beads dearly but I am also having fun knitting. Knitting is nice for me at the end of the night when I get home from work and don't have the energy to think about beading. I am having a lot of fun knitting and may be knitting Christmas presents for people this year. I am planning and really going to try to keep my word on keeping you updated on my knitting. Wish me Luck! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I started watch the show Under the Dome with my parents. It is a relatively new show on CBS, this fifth episode should be airing on Monday at 10/9c. A couple weeks ago I had a sinus infection and was home from work when my mom decided that they were going to start watch it, so I watched the first couple episodes with them. We caught up on episodes that we missed and watch the third one which was airing for the first time that night. I got addicted to Under the Dome. I watched the first three episodes a couple times each while it waited (rather impatiently) for episode four which aired this past Monday. I had to work on Monday night so I had my mom DVR the new episode for me which I've watched twice. The only other TV shows that I'm this in to are the American Horror Stories (and I wasn't as into the last season of that as I was the first). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So basically the show is about a relatively small town that all of the sudden is surrounded by a dome. No one knows why or how it got there. When the dome appears it cuts a cow in half and shows the inside which I thought was the coolest thing being the science nerd that I am. After the residents find out there is a dome basically all hell breaks loose. Things are rapidly starting to deteriorate on the inside, while the people on the outside appear to have given up. People are also starting to realize that everyone has a secret. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really really REALLY excited to see what happens next. I am really enjoying Under the Dome. </div>

I've been home for about two weeks, and started work last week so I have been super busy unpacking and working...loads of fun (not). My spring semester went well, I kind of fell out of blogging with calculus, but I passed calc and never have to take it again so I guess it was worth it. Now I am home for the summer and working again and when I'm not working I tend to be sleeping. This summer I am working Monday through Saturday which kind of sucks but I need the money so I've got to do what I've got to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that said having Sunday's off my family and I went to visit my brother for the day. He has a good on campus job so he is able to stay at his college for the summer. We brought him a chair he wanted for his new apartment and then rearranged his apartment to make it fit and flow (he just wanted to through the chair in there and call it good). So while we were visiting my mom and I hit up the craft stores for a little bit of shopping before decking my brother out at target. </div>

I am back now so hopefully my blog post will be more frequent. I have a bunch of fun things planned over the summer so hopefully I will have lots of posting inspiration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coming up I plan on doing a school year review so hopefully I can get that together. </div>

Its my first week back at school and it has been crazy busy. I am taking five classes (Calc 1, Geography, Psychology Art Appreciation, and Snowboarding). It is mainly a lot of reading and taking notes, so I'm getting as far ahead as I can this weekend. So far all of my classes are going well. I also got a smartpen this week and had to go through training for that. I LOVE my smartpen and plan on doing a blog post all about it. Its been really great to catch up with friends that I hadn't seen since break as well as making some new friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for the small delay in the announcement I have been supper busy. I have been working on loads of homework all weekend. I have taken notes on a lot of reading, taken two quizzes and still have calc, more psychology, and geography left for this weekend. Hopefully I will also get ahead in several classes. <b><span style="color: magenta;">So without further ado the winner is...Maggie!</span></b> I will be e-mailing you with some details, please respond as soon as possible. If you didn't win I would love to have more giveaways in the future. Thank you all for following and looking at my blog as well as commenting. </div>

It is insanely cold here. The schools were all cancelled (they are also cancelled for tomorrow). It was a high of -2 F, which wind chills around -30 F. Being this cold I stayed inside all day, in fact Buster and I stayed in my bed most of the day (Buster is my dog, his blog is <a href="http://totallybuster.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">here</a>). So I stayed in bed most of the day, watched Despicable Me, read, and drank hot chocolate. My major accomplishment for the day was getting my medications transferred to a new pharmacy and getting dressed, but I'm okay with that, it's freaking cold. It's really not supposed to warm up until later this week so I'm not going to leave the house much. Tomorrow I have to help my mom by meeting her at the vet with Buster, but other than that I don't plan on doing much that involves leaving the house. </div>

Hi! For those of you who are new my name is Kathryn (I go by Katy). I am a 19 (almost 20) year old college student, who has many interests. I am studying Bio-chemistry and hope to go into genetics. Some of my hobbies are making jewelry, cross stitching, random crafts, make up, hanging out with friends, reading, and of course blogging! I have many upcoming plans for my blog as well as some posts already written for the first week or two I'm back at school. My blog chronicles my life and random tidbits of it, and my favorite color is pink, this is how I came up with the name for my blog. I started blogging for something to do one summer when I was struggling with some medical problems, as something to bring some positivity to my day. </div>
<br />
For the blog party I decided I would do something which I have wanted to do for awhile...A GIVEAWAY!!! I am giving away pink themed items. A pink four strand bracelet with a snap clasp and a hot pink bottle of nail polish.<br />

Yesterday my friend Ashley and I went on a shopping adventure. We went to a couple local stores, got coffees and ended the afternoon beading. We started by going to a local sporting good store where I got a new pair of snowboarding mittens. Then we went and got coffees (I got a large hot chocolate...yum!). Followed by one of my favorite places (Twisted Sisters) where we got beads for different projects. Then we went to Walgreen's and two other local stores. </div>

I am starting a new project. I have the whole thing planned out but it is a secret. It is for my friends, and I don't want them to know about it until I give it to them. So I decided it would be fun to slowly reveal parts to the project on my blog. Today I am revealing the first two parts of the project and at the end I will describe how to do some parts of the project. </div>

When I was younger I used to love to go with my mom and smell everything and get the fun colored sparkly lotions and body sprays. Unfortunately ours closed quite a few years ago and I kind of forgot about Bath and Body Works. Last year around this time my cousin was visiting and had a mini shower gel in the shower I used a little bit then decided I need to get some. Since then I have been a little addicted to Bath and Body Works.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Carried Away is one of my current favorites. It is one of the signature collection scents and reminds me of the American Girl perfume from when I was little. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Sweet on Paris is another one of my current favorite. It is one of the limited edition Paris scents and is back out for the semi annual sale. I stocked up but unfortunately I won't be able to find more when I am out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of my other favorites from the signature collection are: Paris Amour, Country Chic, and Pink Chiffon. I have quite a bit stocked up so I won't need any for awhile. Hopefully I can control myself and stay away. </div>

I had my final appointment with the surgeon who did my Nuss Procedure (refer <a href="http://thepinkchronicles-kathryn.blogspot.com/2012/08/pf-changs-and-surgery.html" target="_blank">here</a>). So while we were in Green Bay we did some shopping. There were a few stores I needed to go to and most of what I got was planned and what I needed.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also went to aerie where I got this journal (on the spine it says "It started with a kiss")along with two new bras. </div>

It was the semi annual sale at Bath and Body Works. I got two Sweet on Paris lotions. Three Sweet on Paris Shower gels. A Sweet on Paris body mist. Two foaming hand soaps in Peach Bellini and Aqua Blossom. Nothing was over five dollars. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
At Hobby Lobby I got two picture frames to frame cross stitch projects. Pink paint and a tube of white and pink holographic glitter and some spray adhesive for an upcoming project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was all I got in Green Bay this trip. We had a lot of fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I decided I would make a New Years resolution. My resolution this year is to blog more. I have quite a few things planned out that I would like to blog about and quite a few project ideas that I would still like to do over break. I also am planning on pre-writing some blogs for the first week or two that I am back at school until I can get back into the groove of things. My goal is to blog a least three times per week so hopefully I can follow through with this. Wish Me Luck!</div>

Today I finished <a href="http://thepinkchronicles-kathryn.blogspot.com/2012/12/project-update-chirstmas.html" target="_blank">The Shoe Shopper</a> for my last blog post.

My start on Dream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dream is my first adventure using silk thread. It is kind of exciting, although I am worried that I will run out of one of the colors of thread. The silk thread is so nice and smooth its amazing to work with. At over seven dollars a skein I won't be working with silk much. </div>

This is what Dream should look like when it is completed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have a few other blogs planned for this week among all the craziness which should finally die down after this week. Hopefully I'll get a few more posts up this week though. </div>

YAY!!!! It is no secret that I love to craft, unfortunately it is hard to take my vast collection of beads back and forth between home and school. So for this break I decided to bring home some cross stitch. I brought home three patterns which I hadn't even started and <a href="http://thepinkchronicles-kathryn.blogspot.com/2012/07/crystals-cross-stitch-and-kumihimo.html" target="_blank">Secret Crush</a> which I had the border left on. One of the patterns I brought home I have the floss and fabric for, the others are part to a series of three that come with the floss, my mom is amazing and let me raid her stash for fabric (she gave me three pieces so the whole series will be on matching fabric). My mom also helped me cut the fabric and will help me frame them when I finish them.<br />

My mom also made me some Christmas presents that were just too cute not to mention. My brother and I both go to college in areas with better shopping than at home, so this year my mom enlisted our help for her shopping. She had me get my grandmother a fine fragrance lotion from Macy's, a Barnes and Noble gift card , and an Old Navy gift card. I needed a new pair or two of jeans but she didn't want me to buy my own gift card so instead she did this. </div>

I love the box so much. It is amazing. Since I have talked about my mom quite a bit in this post I will include a link to her blog, <a href="http://thehooplessstitcher.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Hoopless Stitcher</a>, which is a blog about her adventures in Cross Stitching. </div>

I have been looking for a pair of boots for months with no luck. I knew I wanted relatively no heal, good support and in a cognac leather or faux leather. I found a few pairs that I like but they were either all out of my price range (I'm a broke college kid) or didn't fit my supper muscular calves (I've been snowboarding since I was a little kid), but I finally found a pair. My mom told me to check jcpenneys again so my friend and I did yesterday, and these are the boots I found...<br />

Its that time of year again. Time to go back to school. Being a college kid that has a significant distance to travel (about 6 hours) I have to pack everything. To do this I took over my brothers room (he stayed and worked at the college he goes to all summer). This is just the start of my packing which tends to take a really long time. Hopefully I will get most of it done tomorrow so I have time to do a few last minute projects I've been planning. I'll have pictures of my dorm up hopefully next week the goal is to do that on Monday.Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00765114987447612924noreply@blogger.com0
