An Update on My Busy Life!

Greetings, whoever reads my blog!  Sorry I haven't updated you guys in a while- I've been too busy to do so!

 

I thought about doing a post called, "The past few weeks of my life in pictures," but I didn't have pictures of everything I've done.  So I guess I'll just have to tell you what I've been up to and the pictures will have to wait.

 

So for the last few weeks, I've been doing a lot of the normal stuff- orchestra on Monday nights (though we had a concert about two weeks ago and now we're done!!!), piano and violin on Tuesdays, church on Wednesdays, babysitting on Thursday morning, work on Thursday and Friday, and yardwork on Saturdays- and that has kept me running around, but there have been quite a few extra things we've done.

 

Last Thursday, Arwen and I had a Royal Schools examination (a fancy piano exam) and I don't think I did too well on my scales, which was a bummer.  But I do have an excuse for not doing well!  I was sick two weeks ago from Thursday to Saturday, then had an awful ear infection last Monday that I'm still recovering from.  That's the reason I didn't practice much.  Last Monday, I was stuck in bed with a laptop watching dumb movies.  Believe it or not, I'd rather have been doing school!!  Instead of finishing my math last Thursday, I won't be done until Friday.

 

Anyway, Friday was my little brother's 2nd birthday and also the first day of a homeschool conference, which went through Saturday.  I got to meet some famous people that I admire and one of them even signed my copy of their book!!  (It would be an understatement to say I was overjoyed.  My head was in the clouds for the rest of the day!)

 

At this certain conference, they had a session on movie-making, which is something I've been wanting to do for a long time.  It got me all geared up to start working on a script again, but the more I thought of the idea I'd had, the more it seemed kind of dumb, so I think I'm going to put that aside for a while.  The more I think about making a movie, the more I'm nervous about it looking cheesy.  But enough about that....

 

The next few weeks are going to be very busy for us, so if I don't post for a while, don't get worried!  Arwen is graduating this year, so that's going to keep us on our toes until June, then we're having a party for her (a hoedown is more like it- a bootscoot!!), and then Arwen on down to my younger brother (child four of the five of us) are going to our grandparents' house for the annual Camp Grandma-Honey!!  I recently got the idea to do a movie with my cousins, so that's another thing to think about.  (I have so many writing things on my plate right now, it's not even funny.  If I've promised a short story or chapter or something to any of you who's reading this, please know that I haven't forgotten, I've just been busy.  I'm working on it!!!)

 

Let's see... is there anything I've forgotten?  Oh, yeah!  Last Thursday, I got my first phone!  It looks exactly like Arwen's, but I put a little beady-string-thing on it, so we can tell the difference between ours now!

 

Guess that's it!  Until my next post....
