Dance and Such

  That's what really matters right now.  Dance.  And dance is mostly all that really should matter right now, I guess.

  Why is that, you ask?  Well, I just got home from dance pictures a while ago.  It was really pretty calm, even though I had to change my costume . . . uh . . . four times.  Then I'll have my OTHER studio's pictures soon, too.  So, yes.  XD

  I have dress rehearsal at 3:00 today, but I should be there by 2:30 to get ready and such.  I'M SO EXCITED.

Picture of me . . . en pointe . . . by my closet.  XD

  So, the recital is tomorrow.  I will be performing {type of dance and song}:

--Tap: Hero by Jennifer Saunders

--Jazz: American Woman by Lenny Kravitz

--Lyrical: Letters from War by Mark Schultz

--Pointe {solo}: Songs from Pirates of the Caribbean {not really sure of the name}

--Irish: Wigeon's Wings {don't know if this is spelled right}

  So, I am VERY excited and slightly nervous for my recital tomorrow.  Prayers would be greatly appreciated.  :]

  So, I'm sitting here on my bed . . . slightly tired, wearing a too-big t-shirt from the Nutcracker last year and navy blue sweat pants that don't match, make-up and hair still ready for the dress rehearsal.  Oh, and I'm eating my Space Adventures Goldfish I won at the Cake Walk at the school carnival last night.

  Yes.  Yes pal.

  Oh!  I almost forgot.  As you may or may not remember, I assistant-teach some classes at the studio.  One of my little  preschool dancers gave me a gift today, and it was . . .

  Yep, she gave me a dog Pillow Pet.  Her mother {she's my math teacher, oddly enough} said that she picked it out herself.  And so it's extra special.  I'm using it on my lap as I type this!  XD

  Well, I hope everyone's weekend's going well, talk to you later!

Lots of Love,
Carolyn

**Pant, Pant**

  You do not know how nice it feels to be sitting down in a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt right now.  Honest, you DON'T KNOW.  Why?  Oh, let me tell you.

The Hobbit.

  Goodness gracious me, today, we had our first two performances for The Hobbit, and I am extremely tuckered out.  {{Man, haven't said THAT in a while!  XD}}  Here's how my day went.

  So, at about eight o' clock, I went to the high school where we would be performing. I was extremely tired from just waking up and throwing myself into my costume, and just . . . well . . . being tired.  XD  And so, I got my make-up on and sat and talked to my friend who had attended the midnight premiere of the Hunger Games movie the night before.

  Then, we waited, playing Headbanz and Spot It until we were instructed to go and greet the third, fourth, and fifth graders as they entered the building.

  Finally, it was time to get ready to go on stage.  So, I went backstage, sitting awkwardly behind Bilbo's house {so I could get in the door} with my fellow dwarves.  We listened to our . . . teacher, I guess . . . give her spiel, and then the play started.

  The play went by rather fast, but the children didn't understand much of the play, and I could tell because they didn't laugh at any of the intended humor.  XD  It was really odd, because the middle schoolers DID, and I was expecting it to be opposite.

  But anyways, after the first performance, we had lunch {PIZZA!} and then had our second performance, which went a lot better than our first!

  So, here I am, after scraping off the ugly stage make-up and taking off my hot costume, I can relax.

  Now, I just have to wait until six when I meet up with my friends and teacher at the theater for Hunger Games!  XD

  And because I hate picture-less posts:

Lots of Love,
Carolyn

New Blog and Pictures! :D

  No, I'm not starting a whole new blog, it's just going to be my pictures for my photo-a-day challenge!  :D  Please check it out and FOLLOW here!

  Now back to your scheduled programming.  XD

  Today I went outside to take my picture, and I got a couple pretty good photographs!

What I used as my 365 picture.  :)

And now I have some OLD pictures that I took on May eighth, 2011.  XD  I used my mom's camera because mine was at home.  :)

I.LOVE.THIS.PICTURE.  It's my ear.  XD  I like my hair, though, especially.

Sorry for it being sideways.  XP

  So, it's just a picture post because I'm tired.  XD

{Love, love, photographs, love, love}


  

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

  Yup, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE!  :D

  Goodness, how many of you old folks that have stuck with me since Snow Globes in my Wardrobe remember when I made a Merry Christmas Eve Eve post . . . if you do, BY GOLLY, comment!  XD  If only I had the link to share with you.  Stupid Google.

  BUT OKAY.  Yesterday I went to a Christmas party at 7:00 because IT WAS OUR LAST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR THE YEAR!  :D  Yup, we're on Christmas break!  But the Christmas part was SO fun!  I fell asleep while we were watching A Christmas Story {{WHICH IS-LIKE-THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER!}} at around 2:30-2:45.  It was a REALLY fun party, even though it left me tired and feeling sick from too much sugar!

  But I am just so excited for Christmas.  :)  I am wondering and wondering and WONDERING what I'll be getting for Christmas, because I really haven't a clue.  I'm guessing I have one out of the three big things I asked for, which are:

-A DSLR
-A Flip Video Camera
-An iPod Touch

  Then everything else is a mystery.  XD

  But I'm excited to travel out of the state to see family this break, and see family on Christmas day, too.  :)

  Life-right now-is really, REALLY, good.  :)

Yawns and Stuffs

    HIYA THERE.  HOW ARE MY LOVELIES?!  :D

. . . **awkward** . . . 

  But SHALOM!  :D  I'm in a sort of odd mood, probably still tired.  I'm sure you're all like, "OHH EMM GEE, CARO, WHY ARE YOU TIRED?!"  And so I tell you.  And if you're NOT all like that, then . . . well, GET LIKE THAT.

  I was just at a friend's house for a sleepover with two other friends.  We stayed up pretty late, looking at lots of videos on YouTube and playing the Wii, because we're just so easily entertained.  XD

  We were mostly watching "You Laugh, You Lose" videos {{eh kay eh, "Don't Laugh" videos}}.  You know, most of them aren't that funny, yet I totally and completely cracked up when I was watching one.  Yeah, no idea WHY, but I laughed extremely hard at a dancing crocodile from Peter Pan.  I'm a normal child.

  Well, we stayed up pretty late {not too bad for a sleepover with three girls-counting me}, just to about 3:00.  :P  We were talking A LOT and pairing up people in our classes, but-of course-Makenna conked out before that conversation even STARTED.  Thanks Kenna, for being interested.

  So, I tried to fall asleep.  Of course, I couldn't, it's just LIKE ME.  :P  So, really late/really early in the morning, I called my mom, just saying I couldn't sleep.  It didn't help that my friends showed me some extremely fake, yet kind of creepy, videos!  {{I don't like being scared, let me tell you that.}}  I finally fell asleep around four in the morning, and got up around eight in the morning!  FUN.

  So, that's enough of that.  Let us talk about CHRISTMAS!

  Again, I AM SO EXCITED!  My parents are currently Christmas shopping, actually!  :D  My mom told me this morning that they weren't predicting any snow for this year's Christmas, and . . . I am extremely sad.  :(  But, after all, Christmas isn't about presents, snow, and mistletoe {HAHAHA I RHYMED!}, it's about the birth of Christ the Lord, our savior.  :)  Without him, we wouldn't be Here today.
