I'm going to see Hairspray on Wednesday!!!!!!! :D I'm so excited. Hairspray and Joseph and the Amasing Technicolor Dreamcoat are my favorite musicals. And I've already seen Joseph performed so yeah :D
Random lyrics:

Way way back many centuries ago,
Not long after the Bible began
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan,
A fine example of a family man.
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Depended on farming to earn their keep.
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Spent all of his days in the fields with sheep.
Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation
Thanks to the number of children he had
He was also known as Israel,
but most of the time
His sons and his wives used to call him Dad.
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
A remarkable family in anyone's book.
Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel
With Simeon and Levi the next in line
Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Benjamin and Judah,
which leaves only one
Jacob, Jacob and sons,J
oseph - Jacob's favourite son
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob Jacob Jacob
Jacob and Sons

Oh, oh, oh
Woke up today
Feeling the way i always do
Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for something
That i can't eat
Then i hear that beat
The rhythm of town
Starts calling me down
It's like a message from high above
Oh, oh, oh
Pulling me out
To the smiles and the Streets that i love
Good morning Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
Oh, oh, oh
Look at my hair
What "do" can compare with mine today?
Oh, oh, oh,
I've got my hairspray and radio I'm ready to go
The rats on the street
All dance round my feet
They seem to say "Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh
Don't hold me back
'Cause today all my dreams will come true
Good morning Baltimore
There's the flasher who lives next door
There's the bum on his bar room stool
They wish me luck on my way to school
Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
I know every step I know every song
I know there's a place where i belong
I see all those party lights shining ahead
So someone invite me
Before i drop dead!
Before she drops dead!
So, Oh, Oh
Give me a chance
'Cause when i start to dance i'm a movie star
Oh, oh, oh
Something inside of me makes me move
When i hear the groove
My ma tells me no
But my feet tell me go!
It's like a drummer inside my heart
Oh, oh, oh
Don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start.
I love you Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony
And i promise Baltimore
That some day when I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me
Yes, More Or Less We All Agree
Baltimore and me.
Someday the world Is gonna see
Baltimore and me!

And now your life has been enriched with those wonderful lyrics. :DDDDD

THANKSGIVING IS ON THURSDAY! :D
So that means lots of cooking with my mom. Like every other meal at my house, Thanksgiving is always completely homemade. My mom, Grandma, and I always split the cooking. My grandma makes all her southern stuff at her house and brings them to our house. My mom does stuff like the turkey and I do biscuits and table setting and yeah. I'm like forgetting what all the stuff is that we always do. Oh, and my mom always makes a BIG bowl of mashed potatoes. My mom's mashed potatoes go quickly. :D
I wonder if my family is going to have movie night. We always watch a movie Thanksgiving night but we didn't do it last year because no one could think of a movie that everyone wanted to watch. No one has suggested a movie for this year yet :(
I was babysitting last week and I asked the five year old girl that I babysit if she was excited for Thanksgiving.
"No."
"Why?"
"I'm more excited for Christmas."
Isn't that cute?!

Friday is almost here. Now you're probably thinking, "Oh! That's Black Friday! You're looking forward to huge crowds in little malls just to get a good deal like everyone else!"
Nope. Not me. I've never set foot in a store on Black Friday. The closest I've come is ordering my camera from the Best Buy website last year (hundred dollar discount and I didn't have to leave my house to get it!).
So why I'm looking forward to Friday is because that's Christmas Tree Day in my family. My family always goes to a tree farm to cut down a tree the day after Thanksgiving. My dad takes a video and people take pictures. It's always funny because we do like these staged pictures and scripted video.
Ir's funny watching videos from previous years. But now that Stephanie and Christina are adults and have work and college and all that fun stuff, it's not always the whole family anymore. Stephanie has to work on Black Friday.
So we make a trip out to a tree farm, cut down a tree, do the maze and stuff that they have there, come home, and start getting Christmas decorations out. :D

Speaking of Christmas, I should probably get started on making my Christmas gifts.
And speaking of making Christmas gifts, I need to get the sewing machine from my Grandma so I can make gifts.

  1. Yeah, Black Friday is evil. Possibly litterally; Wal-mart is forcing their pregnant employees to work on that day and stress plus other stressed people cause complications.

    My parents took us out once for the sole purpose of convincing us never to ask to do so again.

    Advent starts this Sunday too; the beginning of the liturgical year.

  2. Stephanie was telling me that at The Limited (that's the store where she works) that there's going to be employees to help people find stuff, people to work the cash registers, people to make sure the line doesn't get messed up, people to help fill out the credit card applications, and all sorts of stuff like that.

    Gosh, I can't believe Advent is so close. I really should get started on making/buying everyone's presents.
