Scenes from our vacation

I'm BACK!

:o)

Well...you know what comes next. Florida was beautiful, and warm, and basically heaven. Now, I reaally reaally want to go back. *sigh*

Pictures are soon to come!

I'm off

And more then ready to get away from the 8 degrees weather it currently is...and go to the 42 degrees it is in FL (Okay, that's not THAT warm, but it's a heck of a lot better then what it is here.)

BYE! :)

To-do before...

FLORIDA!



At voice lessons on Thurs. Blase (my oldest theatre friend, JSYK for future reference) said at one point in the last week it was colder here then IN THE NORTH POLE. And then we see Florida, which in Orlando at this moment is at 50 degrees and should reach 60 at some point. Be jealous. ;p



I really should be doing laundry and packing but I'm not. I'm here with you...anyways. Here's what needs to get done before we leave tomorrow morning:



-Finish laundry.

-Pack the following: Clothes, make-up/hair stuff, hygienic stuff and of course, stuff to do in the car.

-Paint my toenails a pretty, beach-y color. Not red dotted with green like it is now, lol.

-Charge my camera and Ipod.

-Shower.

Okay so it's not THAT much but I like writing it down anyhow...it makes me more excited. XD


I'm off to finish said list!

Mixed Post

So...I was excited last night, because today I was supposed to go to the museum and study genetics with my homeschool biology class..but it was snowing pretty hard so it was cancelled. *sigh* I was pretty pumped to go, but I did since Mom knew I was disappointed she took me to Geneva Commons so I could use my money I got from taking care of the neighbor's cat, Schwartzkopf, to get some things. I got an Ipod charger that plugs into the cigarette thingamajig in the car (this will be a Godsend--Ipods lose battery really easily, one of the [few] downfalls of Ipods, and with the 20-hour in 2 days car trip to Florida on Saturday...yeah), some peanut butter fudge from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (YUMMMM), and the Jekyll and Hyde soundtrack. FINALLY! The soundtrack is amazing and of course, I got the recording with Anthony Warlow...my absolute favorite singer/broadway star EVER. So yeah, I'm pretty happy!

On another note, I'm so so SO excited for our trip to Florida this Saturday. It'll be great to see G&G since a year ago and lest we forget...it's been, on average, -5 degrees around Chicago lately. URGGGHHH!!!!!

So yeah...I have alot of laundry and packing to do before then. I'd better get started soon, since I have voice lessons tomorrow with a really good family/theatre friend (YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!) and a babysitting job on Fri. night (again, YAY!!!).

On yet another note, American Idol premiered last night and yes, it was amazing. I love.love.LOVE the show (for obvious reasons...singing is my life) and I really like the new judge, she's cool!

I'm always thinking of kids my age who are loaded with 3+ hours of homework every night on top of 7 hours of school and here I am, getting to stay at home in my PJs doing schoolwork on the couch. Plus, no homework... :oP Life is good..I love it! XD

Golden Globes

Last night we watched the awards. Even though they're kind of boring after a while, I was really really happy with a few winnings, especially Heath Ledger's. But it made me feel, like, really sad when I saw the faces on his fellow actor and actress' faces. It was so obvious they weren't Christians just by how unhappy they looked. Not really sad or melancholy, just plain unhappy. *sigh*

Which leads me to a quick vent. Why..oh why can't the media leave these poor celebrities alone?!?! Though I must confess I found a few of the celeb's outfits hideous, some actually were beautiful..the media just nit-picked them so closely and put their looks down. I feel bad for all of them, oh I hate it. *sigh*

CTE Gala 2009

WOW! What an amazing party/ball (something in between). What it is exactly is a gathering (???) of CTE/FVTC folk with food and a bar, in a ballroom, all dressed up and formal. If you sign up ahead of time, you can perform in the show. I didn't unfortunately, but not only did my some of my friends, some FVTC alumni performed as well. It turned out to be a great show...and when it was over the fun REALLY BEGAN! But first you must endure these pictures:

Getting ready for the ball! (I couldn't resist acting like a Disney princess ;p)

I love, love, LOVE this ballgown (as I called it).

The dance floor! That's what I'm talking about when I say the fun really began. It was AMAZING how much fun we had. I think we all got caught up in the moment and I have a feeling we're all going to be a little embarassed at the *ahem* flamboyant dance moves we did once the slap-happiness of party wears off. LOL :o)

LOL Kattie. "Say cheese!" :p

Best friends :o)

I couldn't resist posting this picture of Adam and Tati. I just LOVE them SO much. :o)

I thought this was interesting LOL :o)

Sadly, they're contacts-not his real color. *sniff*

Okay, this is Max, and he's my (one of many) favorite. Isn't this collage below nifty?? LOL :o)

Anyways, obviously I had the most amazing time and being around some of my folks again has made me really, really hungry for some Pinocchio ;p

:o)
