It's been a good day.

Figured out how to make friendship bracelets, had a good ride on Ech and a great ride on Yank.

Finally cleaned the Hermés saddle. Awesome Bible study with Pastor Chris.

Actually did math. Had some chocolate strawberries and a bagel with peanut butter.

Found three or four ADORABLE hairstyles to try on Cici and Kenzi.

Milestone: choreographed an entire song today! (loosely based on a video...i.e. I choreographed it but tried to get the same feel. I'm not Broadway so I can't do those dances anyway...)

And for once, actually talked my sibs into doing it ;) They're awesome.

I did maybe eat a whole handful of chocolate chips...but it's summer. Sometimes I think that's my excuse for everything.

I have the biggest horse show I've ever been to on Sunday. Wish me luck. Apparently it's recognized and everything, and is a dress show, and USHJA, and the whole caboodle. Downside: I'm supposed to be at Lakeside by 6:00am. 6:00 AM!!! So I'll have to go to church on Saturday.

So...really random but...thank you God.

Whew.

Once again, I haven't written posted for weeks. I have five posts saved in drafts...I guess I got bored. So here's a quick update...

I had my last CEC on Tuesday. I three-way tied to win best project (it was a book of quotes from to Kill a Mockingbird). I still have LOTS of Chemistry and math to do, and I have to get Chemistry finished before August third or I can't audition for Stage One (which is the climax of my audition season).

I have been working on a tap solo I found online. I know my rhythm and clarity is bad and my form is even worse, but I've gotten better. I have a dance camp in June so I've been stretching a lot since I want to have my left splits by then (my previous goal was May...that didn't happen.) I have also been singing hours a day(Newsies...what else?)...and for once actually singing my voice songs since I have the recital in a few weeks (grrrrr. For those of you who don't know, I love performing, but I hate recitals. Hate them.) I also have been hinting to go to a singing contest in July...we'll see how that goes.

My great-grandmother died on Monday so Clara's been at my Gramma's for the past two days to help them with farm chores since a horse is about to foal. I somehow got myself into training a pony for a lady who lives near us and doesn't have the time, and fully training a green horse (that is now MINE :) And I love him ) but that's going to require like ten hours a week this summer. I also am working at the stable at least six hours a week to help with lessons, etc. And I will be over there all day for two weeks to help with pony camp.

I have rehearsals for Elizabeth and Darcy- A Love Story only every week and a half or so since I have four lines and am in two scenes (she says you don't have to be there unless it's your character). I am weirdly pleased by the fact that I have an actual understudy. That's right- not double cast, I have an understudy. I also am a student intern at Stage One for two weeks of drama camps for younger kids. I'm really looking forward to that.

And...I've been trying to run three times a week to do a 5K in July. Run it, not walk it.  But I have a tech rehearsal for E&D that day so I'm going to have to find another race. Then again, by June I'm probably going to be so tired from riding that I won't want to run- ever. ;)

So...what've y'all been up to? ;)
