24 Hours With My B.F.F.N.M.W.!

Well, really, it was more like 30 hours, but who's counting? So, I was gonna write all about it here but my B.F.F.N.M.W. beat me to it so I guess I'll just let you visit her blog. She has a great summary of the things we did. Here's Fayleke!

Bored

Right now I'm really kind of bored. I used to think I was an afternoon person, so not true! I'm really a night person. I found that out when I started being able to stay up late at night, the only time I ever seem to be tired (unless I'm sleep deprived) is in the afternoon. I never really thought about it before. So, this shows you how bored I am........I'm sitting here writing on my blog about how in my distant thoughts, I realized I was a night person. Gah! I think I lost my brain sometime earlier this week. Everybody is off of school for mid-winter break but we're not. One of the down falls of the homeschool curriculum we use-we can only take a certain amount of weeks off every year unless we don't want summer break. Oh, well, at least we get a spring break. (We used to only get a break at Thanksgiving and Christmas, no break even for summer!) Okay, I think I've rambled for long enough. I'll stop talking, I mean typing, now. Bye!

Willy Wonka

Okay, so I wasn't planning on being on this early and telling you about this but I found out earlier than expected........Well, here goes. I was at a birthday party this afternoon and the director for my play company called. I wasn't able to pick up the phone quickly enough so she left me a message asking me to call her back. Of course I did right away because when the director calls you the day that the cast list is supposed to come out it usually means something. I talked to her for a few minutes about where I was (she called home first and my parents told her about the party) then she said, "Hey, I was wondering if you'd mind playing Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." I almost screamed! (I didn't because that wouldn't be nice to her) Right now I'm sitting here in shock still because I can't believe out of approx. 150 kids I'm the one they chose to portray Veruca Salt. I'm totally convinced that all your prayers helped. Thank you soooooooooooo much. I love you all, but most of all, I love God.

Les Miserbles

Yesterday I went to see Les Miserables (pronounced, Lay Miz erob, Les Miz for short) performed by the theater company that I usually audition for. I'd heard from my parents and others that it was long, hard to follow, and depressing. So not true! It was INCREDIBLE! By far the best show I've ever seen in my entire life. I went mainly because it was done by that particular theater company and I knew a lot of the kids in it. It was so amazing! One lady watching it said she had been to New York and seen it on Broadway and that Broadway couldn't stand up to the show yesterday! Wow! The only bad thing that happened was halfway through a scene in the second act, all the fire alarms went off because of all the haze they were using in the show. According to 'standard procedure,' we all had to evacuate the building until the fire department said the building was safe. They resumed the show and it went off without a hitch. I'm so happy that I decided to go see it. It's funny how God chooses the most unlikely was to refresh us!
