3 Day Weekend!

Since I was out sick on Friday, it felt like I had two Saturdays in a row. Yay!

My real Saturday was much more productive than my sick day though, especially since when I was sick I just lay there and sniffled. On Saturday I got up at about 9:00 (ugh, I know) to go to my church where a bunch of us girls are putting together a play called Doll 2 (2 because we did the first Doll a year ago). There are 3 different groups with a skit for each, girls grades 3-7. Each skit is about 40-50 minutes long. The performance is in 2 weeks. More on that later. Maybe.

After Doll rehearsal, I went to wait for All State practice. Maybe I should explain. I didn't just name this blog Amazing Gracie because it sounds good. I am actually a pretty good singer. Maybe I'll download an audio for you guys someday. Being the daughter of your church's music director doesn't hurt either. Speaking f my musical talents, I am a wicked trumpet player. I am available for weddings. Seriously. I know Prince of Denmark. Anyway. Being an awesome singer and all, I am in the New Jersey All-State Honors Choir. So, I'm waiting for practice, and another girl in it with me, Hallie, came up and just about made my day.

She said: "I read your blog and I really liked it."

Now this might not be a big deal to you, but I just about died because this would make her the first, besides my sister Jane, who helped me make the blog. That's right Hallie, you got a shout-out.

So then we're in All State practice. We actually have some not horrible songs this year, like Oye by Jim Papoulis. But what bugs me is this: Boys and girls are usually split and do one separate piece each. Girls are sweet and pretty, so they get a sweet and pretty piece. But the main problem is sweet and pretty almost always means hard and boring *scowls*. But to add insult to injury, the All State dudes want to keep boys interested in singing. So boys get a fun piece. This year, the girls piece is some dumb old song called "Clear Water" *gag, retch*. What do the boys sing? Old Dan Tucker. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Whatever.

After practice, I hung out with my neighbors Braxton and Brianna. We played basketball and capture the flag and tied a rope to a wagon and pulled Braxton's younger brother Hudson in it. Then me and my mom went to a nearby towns high school to see my friend Will's brother Eric in the play Bye Bye Birdie. I had never seen it before. I absolutely loved it. Hilarious. :D  If any of you haven't seen it, go and see it right now. Great show.

Well, Sunday wasn't quite as eventful as Saturday. I woke up late from losing an hour of sleep. My dad and I went to a later service than usual at church for that reason. My mom had to be their early anyway because she's the choir director and organist. Poor mom. So I sang. Then I came home and took a shower. Then I did some homework, got bored, and invited my friend Ariel over. We played hide-and-seek, got bored, and sat in the basement talking. She left. I did more homework, and here I am now. I should really get some sleep. I'm happy with my productive weekend.

But first:
I have decided that every weekend I will give you a funny picture to keep you smiling all Monday. I'll probably give pictures other days too, but I'll definitely have at least one today, and it'll be funny. So here's your first, courtesy of lolcats:

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Good night!
