Back to normal at last

So...after a week of moping about things finally started to get normal again. Now, I'm only suffering from boredom and the occasional sadness when I think of how much fun I had and that I'll never have that specific experience again..but then I must remember there will be others and they can only be better.

The rewards of being in this show are still arriving. SO many people who came to the show have told me how much they enjoyed it, how surprised they were with me, and how proffesional and entertaining the play was!! Someone even said "I forgot it was just kids acting." That makes me realize what a privelage it has been (and is) to be part of this group. I've been so unapreciative in the past and often I wish for more...but really this is better than I could ever have wanted and I am so proud to be part of this theatre group even though it won't make me "famous."

Although I recieved an "A" in Drama I am now hurrying to finish up social studies which I neglected quite a bit right before and during the show. The rest of the time all I do is watch Little House On The Prairie (about 6 episodes a day - a waste of time I know - but it still entertains me even though I've seen every episode at least twice), write my stories of course, and count the days until my birthday. Kind of silly too but it was just yesterday that I realized its exactly 3 months till my birthday - Wahoo!

Thats all for now.

PS - You will also notice that I changed the name of my blog. Why? because I think "Elizabeth" is more fitting as most people actually don't call me Lizzie.

Christmas!!!

Hey All! I hope you had a grand Christmas! Mine was awesome!!! On Christmas morning we got up and opened presents. We didn't go to Church because the Christmas Eve service the night before had been cancelled because of the snow so we thought Church would be cancelled too that day. It felt kind of weird not going at all!

After opening presents we ate breakfast which is always cinnamon buns. Oh by the way, one of my gifts was a new sleeping bag which I really needed! I had one but it was my cousin's and she needed it back. But my new one is soo much nicer than my old one. For one thing, its actually new lol.

In the afternoon, my mom had a nap and my sister and I watched some episodes of The Waltons. We also phoned our Grandma and our Grandparents as well as our Grandpa who lives on the Island.

We went to my Aunt/Uncle/Cousin/Grandparent's house for dinner. My Aunt cooked dinner and it was really good. I opened some presents there too. After dinner (which was a buffet) my cousins, sister and I went sledding in the backyard (except my youngest cousin who was asleep!) That was super fun but unfortunatly we had to leave before we tried our our jump.

I really enjoyed Christmas although I think I'm actually coming down with some kind of cold! Yesterday, my sister and I went sledding which was also lots of fun. It rained last night and is still raining now so I'm glad I went.

Well I'd better go.
