Haircut

Well, last Tuesday I visited a local salon and had my hair cut. To most of you this doesn't sound interesting but for me it was very cool. I had hair long enough to donate to locks of love and so I had twelve inches cut off. We are going to mail it in after we can print the before and after pictures to send in. If you do a little research you will find out that so many people lose their hair to cancer. Although it seems impossible to do anything but donate money to find a cure there is one thing you can do that costs nothing but a little time. You can donate your hair. If you grow out your hair long enough to cut off at least ten inches you can put it in a ponytail and ship it off to locks of love. I grew my hair out for two years and then had twelve inches cut off, with hair enough to put into a ponytail! Although it is hard to go from having lots of hair to having only a little hair it is worth it when you know that you are giving your hair to someone who may never be able to grow their own hair again and couldn't afford to buy a wig. Here is the link to the website where you can find out about donating your hair: http://www.locksoflove.org/donate_hair.php

Evolution of Dance

Comedian Shows us the Evolution of Dance

Seussical

Well hello everyone, it has been a while since I posted but I am back now. Yesterday was the audience dress rehearsal at Lamp-Light for the Seussicle and it went very well. There were a few small mistakes but overall it went really well. I play a who and I am also a water friend in one scene. Tonight is opening night and amazingly I am not one little bit nervous. I have had fun in this production and I will be very sad when it ends. The main story is based off the book by Dr. Seuss called Horton hears a Who. The main characters are Horton, The Cat in the Hat and the Mayor of Whovill's son JoJo. In the story Horton hears the whos on their speck of dust calling for help. He puts the dust on a clover and vows to protect it at all costs. The inhabitants of the jungle say he's crazy because they can't hear the whos. The story continues on with JoJo being sent off to war and three monkeys stealing the clover with the dust speck on it and Horton being sent off to the circus McGurcas while sitting on a nest with an egg in it. Now, do I have your curiosity aroused? Well, thats all you'll get from me! you'll just have to come see the production or read the book Horton hears a Who by Dr. Seuss. Well, that's all folks!

By the way, I got a profile pic! Check it out.

Angel

My dogs name was Angel. We got her when she was about one or two. She was a mix between a lab and a cockerspanial (I think) and she was a light brownish whiteish color. I loved her so much. Unfortunately I never took enough time out of my day to take care of her. I fed her, watered her, brushed her and spent about five minuets with her every day and i used to walk her occasionally and i gave her a bath about once every three or four months. But that wasn't enough. I should have spent an hour or two every day with her and walked her every day and given her a bath twice a month. Last Thursday when I came home from play rehearsal at around 10 mom said that Angel wasn't acting normal. I went outside that night and didn't find her so the next morning I found her. Sure enough she was sick. Very sick. I gave her a bath that morning and tried to get her to get up and walk around but she wouldn't. Mom scheduled an appointment for her at the vet but we couldn't get one till this coming Wednesday. Saturday at around fiveish I went out side to check on her and she was dead. She was only abut 9 years old. I cried for about three hours and we buried her in our backyard at about seven. I loved that dog and I pray she is in a better place.

Camp!

Well, I have had a great week. Last Monday I went to church camp and I had a great time. The one problem with camp however is that the ground is mostly dust and I have seasonal allergies and the dust was not good for me. Other then that I had a blast. I didn't even get a sunburn and that is an incredible feat for me to achieve. But I think that my favorite part (besides getting a week with new people to talk to) was evening worship. I loved the speaker and the worship was very serious and meaningful to me. Every day there is a clean cabin award, one for the boys and one for the girls. Each cabin cleans everything up and tries to get the cleanest cabin out of all the cabins. Well, sometimes there is a messy cabin award but this year the directors weren't planning to have one. Our cabin didn't know that and so on Wednesday everyone but me and the counselor and one other person were trying to get the messy award and so they put leaves all over and threw clothes on the floor and in the rafters and messed up their bunkes. Well, the councilors thought that that was a bad idea so they gave our cabin (with the exception of us who kept ourselves clean and organized) the job of cleaning up after the meals for the rest of the day. Well, after that they decided that the messy award wasn't any fun so we got our act together a won the clean award on Friday, the last possible day. Friday evening one of the girls in the pink cabin (not my cabin) had left wet clothes out and open food on her bed and so guess what happened, she found a scorpion in her bed. Well, of all sixty nine kids there, she was the one person that didn't need one in her bed. When she found out about it she screamed for about ten minutes then she finely left and wouldn't sleep in the cabin so she moved to the air conditioned cabin (our cabins were only screened in at the top) and slept there. If she had to sleep in her bed I think she would have passed out from sheer fright! Amazingly everyone got over it rather quickly and she was the only one who moved. In addition to finding a scorpion, people found snakes all over the place. They must have killed about five or six while we were there and there were some that didn't get killed. I kept on looking for a snake but I never saw one. Darn. Well, I need to go now, I've been on for longer then I should have. So until later, goodbye!

Check out these videos, their really cute:

Amburgers and Wootbeer!

llama song (here's a llama, there's a llama, and another little ...

If you want to see something stupid, check out one of these videos:

Gollum Rap - Flash Animation

Mashed Taters (Potatoes) Funny Flash

One of my friends showed me these videos and I thought that it would be something good to post. If your computer won't open these sites do a google search for them. For the first one search for Amburgers and Wootbeer! For the Next one search for Llama song. For the third one search for Gollum rap and for the last one search for Mashed Taters. Each of these searches should come up with several different links, but these are the ones that would open on my computer. Just be sure that you are careful on the sites because I don't think that they are good sites (I haven't looked around at all). Well, I'm off, have a good fathers day (even if you aren't a father).

Well I'm back

Well hello everyone. Yes, I am finely posting. I not posted for a while because I haven't really felt like it but I feel like it now so I guess I'll post. This last week was VBS at our church and I was in charge of six kids. ARGGGG! I had a very very tiring week. Now, I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy myself, in fact, I had a blast. I'm just saying that although I loved all the kids to death, I am glad I don't have to keep up with them any more. That's all. Well, last weekend I went to my friends birthday party and I spent the weekend with her and I had a blast! We swam a lot (she has a pool) and on Saturday night we never went to bed (or to sleep for that matter). I hope she had as much fun as I did. This Sunday I am going to camp! Yay! I can't wait! I have been looking forward to camp for a long time and I am sure that I will have a blast. I will tell you all about it when I get back. Well, I must be on my way, goodbye!

Canoe trip part 2

Well, now for the second day of my canoe trip. Sunday morning I woke up about 6:00 or 7:00 and sat by the fire and talked with the other people who were up, mostly adults but there was one other girl up. Once breakfast was ready and there still wasn't anybody up the one other girl who was awake and I got a huge metal pan and a big metal utensil and we went down by the tents and banged as loud as we could on that pan until we woke everybody up for breakfast (with Mr Mark's permission of course). After breakfast we pushed off and started down the river. We mostly just paddled the whole day and stopped a few times and except for one stoop it was mostly uneventful. We had stopped for the last time to let everyone catch up and had eaten some fruit and were all leaving and dad and I had just pushed off when we herd this bloodcurdling scream from behind. We turned around and saw this girl leap out of her canoe, land on her feet and in about two seconds was ten feet away from her canoe and her partner was standing in his seat with his paddle ready. We asked somebody what happened and apparently there was a snake in their canoe! They finale got everything settled in their boat and continued but later on they somehow got a fish in their boat that was about five inches long. Aside from that there was nothing super exciting that day. On the way home I mostly slept because I was so tired. Well, that was the overview of the trip, if anyone wants a more specific story they can just ask me and I would be glad to oblige. This evening was the softball closing ceremony's and my team got third! I have only placed once before this after playing for six years so it was very exciting. Well, if you want to know the reason that I didn't post this sooner, a stomach virus has been going around and I was to busy on Monday and Tuesday and on Wednesday I got sick and today we had grandparents over and right now is the first chance I had to post anything. Well, that's all for now so until later, goodbye!

Canoe trip part 1

Well, I'm back from the canoe trip and I had a blast. Friday night we got to the caddo river and spent the night at the landing catching crayfish and roasting marshmellows. I accidentally leaned against one of the roasting sticks and got gooey marshmellows all over my clothes. The next morning we had fresh doughnuts from town that were really good and around 9:30 to 10 we pushed off. After canoing for about two hours we stopped for lunch and swam for a little while. Then we continued for a few more hours and stopped at the "jumping rock" where we always stop. The jumping rock is a huge rock that sticks out of the water and the water is deep enough to jump into and we always stay there for an hour at least. While we were stopped I saw this fish in the water that looked like it was very sick and was sort of half floating half swimming and I thought to myself that I would like to catch that fish. Around that time a few more people saw the fish and so me and three other boys all jumped into the water to catch the fish. I was getting very close and then I had it.. and then I lost it. I had my hands around it but it slipped away. Then, one or two girls got on top of the rock so they could see it better and gave us directions on where the fish was because we couldn't see it from in the water. We then chased the fish for ten minutes but I was the only one who actually touched it. We finaly had to give up and so we went back to jumping off the rock until we had to go on. We canoed for another three hours or so (maybe longer) and then we got to the campsite. The closest we got to tumping over was after the jumping rock. We were going down the river and I was in the back steering when up ahead we here fast water. I was thinking that it was just fast water and it would be no problem. I was wrong. The river had a sharp bend in it and the water was going fast and then on one side there was a tree right up next to the water. The tree was sort of pulling you towards it and we hit that tree broadside, took on a little water and got a little bruised and wet. Daddy stopped the canoe (we were backwards) and pulled it in to the bank. He then proceeded to help everyone who came past there until our entire group which, by that time was spread out, had come past. In addition to our group he helped numerous other people. We must have waited 30 to 45 minutes! That was the closest we ever came to tumping over. Once we were at the campsite we put up our tent on the rocky and uncomfortable ground and I swam for the next hour or two. Then, I watched some people fishing for gar. There were a lot of gar this year and they were big. One guy caught one that was almost two feet long! After that we had a wonderful dinner of steak and mashed potatoes and salad and if you wanted you could have some fruit. Later that evening we had a lesson and then I went to bed. That is all for the first day and so I will end this post, but I will post day two later. Goodbye all!

Awesome

YES!!!!!!!!!
This afternoon my friend whose birthday party was scheduled for the weekend of the canoe trip has moved it (not for me, I told her not to make changes in her schedule for me) to some time in June! I WILL BE ABLE TO GO ON THE CANOE TRIP!! I was so exited that when I was telling my dad about it I made a leap into the air and came down... right on my ankle! It hurt teribly and the last time I remember hurting my ankle this bad was two years ago in the summer play at the community theater. I normaly wouldn't mind except the fact that I have a softball game at 5:30 today and we are already calling in several subs. If my ankle doesn't feel good I will be very upset. Well, that is all for now.

Purple fingers

Yup, thats right, I have purple fingers. Yesterday morning we (my family and I) went dewberry picking. Some friends of ours invited us to come and pick because they had a lot on thier property. We must have picked a ton before we stoped and we might go back, but I don't see how we'll have time to. This summer will be the buisyest summer I can remember. I have a church camp, I hav some speech camps that I want to go to, I have softball tournaments that my ccoach wants to do this summer and I want to be in a musical this summer. I still don't know how or when I will finde the time to fit all these activitys into my summer but hopefully I will find a solution soon.

Tears of crushing dissapointment

Tears roll down her cheeks, her hopes are crushed, to her, it seems as if no one cares for her, she is all alone...

okay, maybe it's not that dramatic, but I am very sad. My youth minister recheduled the canoe trip for the week-end of my best friends birthday and so I had to make a choice and I decided that I will go to her party because she lives three hours away from me. Oh well, I guess that I will just have to go on the canoe trip next year. But, when I get back I will tell you all about my trip. Untill then,
