Stuff and things

Tomorrow is costume day for the play. Yea! I like seeing all the cool costumes everyone will have. I have to admit, I'm feeling pretty good about myself. lol. I have my costumes mostly done :) and I have recently conquered some fears.

1. I went to the doctor about my heart. (KTB's dad is the best doctor ever!)

2. I got a blood test (I hate needles in me!)

3. I learned to swallow pills (I have a very annoying gag reflex)

4. I am singing a solo in the play (A big step for me. lol)

I think next I will conquer my fear of driving. I gotta study for my permit again though, because it has expired.

Anyway, I went to KTB's dad and he said a lot of teenage girls have the same heart thing as me. He said that it is part of the "fight or flight" system. Whenever something scary happens, like...you are walking out to the garage to get something out of the car, and a raccoon comes flying out of the trash can! When that happens, your body gets you ready to run like a mad thing. Your adrenaline gets flowing and your muscles get tense, and most for most people their heart rate goes from 80 to 100 or 110. Mine goes from 90 to 190. Yeah. Annoying. Well, since there are a lot of people that have the same thing they have medicine for it. It has been two weeks since I went to the doctor, and my heart has been really good. Yea! I have hope of being able to do my part in the play. :) Katie H said she would pray for me. :) She rocks!

Everyone is working so hard. I love play practises. I can't wait till tomorrow!

Hey, we had our first play practice. It was so much fun! The music is good, and we have a lot of fun kids. I think this is going to be the best year ever! Because my dratted heart is acting up again, I decided to look for an understudy. Thankfully KTB stepped up! Yea! KTB is a terrific actress and just all-around great. It will be so much fun learning Edith's song together.

Our little peony bush bloomed recently. We planted it last summer, but a cat layed on it and squashed the poor thing! Amazingly though, it came back this year! And it is gorgeous.

My kitty thinks so too!

The Fusion vs. St. Joes, was a hard game to watch. It is the first time I have seen our team lose this season. Everyone played so well though! I was proud of our team, even if we didn't win. :)
