100th Post

Hey this is my 100th post! Yes!
          I have a few exciting things going on. Yesterday I auditioned for a solo in the choir concert on Thursday and got it! I'm so happy! It's kind of hard though so I've been practicing a lot. I'm gonna be quite nervous but I can't wait! We're singing 3 songs plus Carol of the Bells with all of the choirs together. Hanerot Halalu, a Hanukkah song, Frobisher Bay, and Jing-a-Ling, Jing-a-Ling, which is the song I have a solo in. I finally got them all memorized today.
          Second, I switched houses with Kate for the weekend! I'm staying with her family and she's with mine. We do each others' chores and everything! So far I'm loving it. Since I was grounded I've been home for a really long time so I wanted to have a break, and she wanted to be out of her house too so we just swapped. My brothers are hers and hers is mine.
          Last thing, we're going to a Hanukkah party tonight, held by our very good friend KP. :) We'll be having White Elephant as well. I'm really excited for the Christmas party on the 18th. It will be intense.
          Anyway, happy holidays to you all, whoever you are. Thank you for reading, if you do! In case I'm not sure if you do, feel free to hit the 'follow' button. Until I write again, goodbye!



At White Elephant I got a $10 Cuppa Yo' gift certificate! I've never been there so this'll be really great! :D

Friends, Friends, Friends

On Friday Kate, Annie, Maya, Coleman, Riley, Hannah, Kate's exchange student, Josephine, and I went roller blading! It was soo fun!! I was the best skater there out of our group but I tried to slow down a little to be with them. Riley didn't skate as much as I hoped, though. There were sooo many middle schoolers there! It was like a huge middle school dance! :P They played some great music though... I only fell twice while I was skating. The other times I fell were when I was going really slow or trying to stand still. I'm much better balanced when I'm moving.

Yesterday I had double-header softball games. I had to get to the school at 7:45 to catch the bus at 8 to take us to the games. The first one started at 11 and the second one started at 1. We lost both of them but I got another double and made a bunch more outs. :)

After the games I went over to Kate's house and we watched Amelie and ate pizza and candy. Very fun! 

Sleepover

Yesterday at 1 PM I went roller blading with my friends Jessica, Jenny and Jessica's friend, Emily. It was really fun! And it was only $5. I tried both inline skates and quad skates. There were very few people there. Maybe about 20 little kids. I fell about 25 times though and now I have really bad bruises on my knees. They're really big.

After roller blading, we went to the movies and saw Bounty Hunter. It was better than I thought it would be! It was really funny.

We all spent the night at Jessica's house. At about 1 in the morning, we were all awake except for Jessica. I decided to start talking to her and see if she would talk back in her sleep. She did. :) We all talked to her for about an hour and a half! She said the strangest things! For example: "It's raining tater tots." "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." "Just keep swimming...You're on a diiiiet." "I love Miley Cyrus." "Re-e-e-ed Robin. Yum" She also said that she is going to marry me. And Miley Cyrus. And she did a lot of whimpering when we said things like "Shadows" or "Darkness." And when we said "Paranormal activity" she whimpered more than ever and moved around in fear. She hates that movie. :) But the worst part was when I told her that her dog died. She started crying! I didn't know she would believe me! You believe anything you hear when you're sleeping, I guess. It took about a minute to calm her down and distract her! I felt sooo bad! It was still a hilarious night though. I might just have to try it on some other friends...

This morning, we had muffins for breakfast. We mostly just played around a lot. Then Jenny went home. At 6, Jessica, Emily and I went back to the roller skating place. There were way more people today. 100 people easy. Probably more. I borrowed Jessica's knee pads this time. I used quad skates the whole time. I find them easier to balance and move in. I only fell 7 times! This is a major accomplishment! But the most embarrassing part was when I tried to join the limbo game and I fell and knocked the bar off when it was at the very top of the thing! I didn't try again after that. But later on, I got 2nd place in a quad skate race! They gave me a head start because I'm a girl. :P But it took this really good skater till the very end to catch me! I was pretty proud.

My goal is to learn to skate backwards. Then I want to get better with inline skates. I'm really proud of myself. :)
