Even though it's after thanksgiving, I thought I share this with you. I already emailed it to some people, but I just thought I share some thoughts. After I wrote this I thought, "So whose idea was it to have a holiday of being thankful for what we have, and almost in the same breath or same day start demanding everything that they don't have??" I don't think I'll be asking for much this Christmas. ;)
Thanksgiving Dinners
"Christmas comes once a year," you hear that phrase oft, and kids will spend months to make their lists perfect. To make sure they have every little toy they want, toys that make noise and toys that make clothes. Toys that bake, and toys that rock. Everything that they ever wanted has to be on that list. Some even start their lists on December 26.
However,
How many times have you heard the phrase, "Thanksgiving comes once a year"? It's probably happened, but not often enought. Are we teaching our kids to want, want, want, but not to thank, thank, thank? Is this where the world is heading? To people who don't truely appreciate what's been given to them and just want more? Perhaps this is the lesson we need to learn from little kids prayers: "Thanks for the clouds, thanks for my family, thanks for the blankets and pillows and beds..." When was the last time we thanked God for these things that he's given us? When was the last time we thanked our friends and family? When was the last time we thanked ourselves. Perhaps this thanksgiving we should take a little time to thanks those people that are always around us for the little things that always surround us. Take some time to think... and thank.

Movies!
Today I was thinking about all my favorite movies when I was younger and how much I still love them! My favorite movies were Balto, Robin Hood (disney style), pocahontas and lion king. I haven't seen balto or robin hood in like forever but I still love Pocahontas and lion king! I think the movies you watched the most in your childhood kind of reflect what kind of kid you were. Sort of. Maybe. Idk what these movies say about me, but what were your guys favorite movies as kids?? Now I want to go watch all those old movies lol.

I blame technology...
So I had this nice long post to post and then the compy dropped it... so I guess I'll just have to give you the short version. I don't have time to right it again. We'll start out with the semi interesting news: Apparently the boys volleyball team talks about me. My brother says that they have to find common ground somewhere when he's taking them home, so he starts a conversation with "so you know my sister." that sounds like a very -- interesting?-- conversation... more like awkward. He only told me one thing that they've said about me though, but that makes me wonder what else they say...
On a happier note: I GOT A LEAD IN THE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's the play "The Miracle Worker" about Hellen Kellers life. I'm Hellen's mom named Kate. I'm SOO excited!! this is the first time I've ever had a lead in a play that's not a musical!! You should all come see it in January. ;) The leads are all double cast, so you'll have to come on one of the nights that I'm actually going to be the lead. :)
That's all for now. I wanna hear more about you guys, ya hear? ;)

Why?
Why?
Why are we seperated whenever we need each other most?
Why can we never find the words when me most need them?
Why can we never help when help is most needed?
Why can't people understand just how much they are loved?
Why can't I make them understand that?
Why?
Why do we have to say goodbye?
Why can't we take the place of another?

yay?
So I just had a bunch of interesting events happen. ;) You guys are gonna get sick of me and just skip over my blogs in a couple months, but I'm ok with that. ;)
1. Choir concert tonight. I'm semi excited cause I have a small solo, but at the same time I'm not. I asked the teacher if I could leave after we're done because of regionals, and he flipped. I told him it's not a big deal if I can't go, I just thought I'd ask. After about thirty full seconds of fuming, he finally said I could. To make peace and make sure that he doesn't completely tear my grade apart, I asked him (a couple periods later when he had simmered down a bit) if he wanted me to come early and make the mic cords look pretty before the performance cause I want to leave early. He said ok. So that's the plan now. If it seems like he's going to fail me because I left early, I might have to stay and miss regionals. We'll see.
2. I am currently unemployed. I had a job and I was just informed this morning that I am no longer able to work for them. Yay for job hunting? I am currently looking for a job while all of my theater friends are freaking out. A job is more important to me right now than doing theater. I'm really going to miss it, but I owe my mom a ton and a half of money for New York, and I'm going to college in less than two years, and then on to a mission a couple years after that. I'm going to be a vacuum for money soon, so I need a ton to start with. Poor Kevin. He's having a fit...
3. My friend is coming to early morning seminary (forever now referred to as 'ems') on Monday, and possibly Wednesday. I really hope she has a good experience. Anything you guys can do to calm down the boys would help a lot. ;)
4. Piano recital on Saturday... I haven't practiced like the last three weeks because of the play (which I sorely miss) and I'm doin this intense Rachmaninoff song that I can't play all the way through yet. It also uses a sostenuto pedal which my piano doesn't have, so my practicing just throws me off. I think I'm going to raid the church and see if any of those pianos have sostenuto pedals... I'm also competeing with Nick's dad. Apparently he plays this song all the time, and has been for a long time. He's going to be at the recital. SCARY!!
5. Dynamix performance -- right before recital. Why do I love performing so much??! It all gets stacked in the same few weeks!! The director is having us do new stuff to fill in the time, and I'm not entirely sure how that's gonna work out, but hey. We all love to make a fool of ourself at some point, right? ... Maybe?
6. Last, but certainly not least: uh... Yeah, I dunno. I was gonna say something, but I don't remember. :) It was probably something about how I want you guys to come with me to the football game tomorrow so my mom doesn't get mad at me for being ridiculously anti-social. ;) You seriously should come so we can hang out. :)
That's my life for now. :) I'll probably live as soon as I find a job, it was just kinda a shock because I was planning on working tomorrow, but now I can't. ;) See you guys soon I hope! Mei mei, you should come support us at volleyball, even if you can't play. ;)

WOO!!!
I'm really excited for this blog if you can't tell. :)
I have really exciting news! My friend Madison from theater might come to early morning a couple times next week. I hope she enjoys it. She siad that she's not getting the connection with God that she wants with the church she's at now, so I hope she feels the Spirit really strongly. ;)
ANYways... that's my news for today.
