The Last Week

Okay, so it has been a long time since I've blogged or emailed or done anything on the internet at all! I need to catch up. I need to post on my blog, answer emails and post on Sign It Weekly. Don't worry, I'll get better. Everything has just been so busy and I have been thinking about posting, but not having the time. So I was neglecting to do it when I got a complaint. We were all at Lizzie's house and having a good time when the phone rang. I was sitting at the computer writing something for Young Women in Excellence that night and Kate was standing right by me and the phone by the computer. The phone was ringing, no one was answering yet so Kate picked it up and tried to hand it to me. I reluctantly took it and just held it. I didn't want to answer their phone. Luckily Lizzie went to pick up a different phone. She looked at me and asked, "Did you already get it?" Almost in a why-would-you-do-that voice. I answered, "Kate did." And Lizzie got an understanding look on her face and answered the phone (yes it was still ringing). I hung up the one Kate answered and continued to write. Then Lizzie came over and handed me the phone. "It's Amy," she said when she saw the look on my face. I answered saying, "Hi!" (I think)
"Hi!" said Amy, "Did you read my comment on your blog saying you need to post?"
"No."
Amy sighed.
"Well you need to post!"
And then we went into a long conversation that only Amy and I know about and that I won't go into. So, that is why I am posting right now. Be grateful to Amy.

We were at Lizzie's house from about 10:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. We left with lots of yummy food. We originally went there so mom and Lizzie could cook. By the end they both wanted to take naps. Even ask them! That night we all went to Young Women in Excellence (mom was playing prelude and all the babysitters were there so Anna and Gracie came, too). We got there half and hour early so I could set up my sewing display and mom could play prelude. If we could we were supposed to bring some project we work on to display. I brought my not-yet-finished quilt, a skirt and bag. I also brought a paper describing the why and whens of my sewing. Lot's of people came up to me and said that we needed to get together to sew sometime. They said they have wanted to make certain projects but haven't. One or two were leaders! The theme was "There's No Place Like Home." The leaders did a skit like the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy was twelve and in her dream in the land of Oz the yellow brick road was the path of personal progress. The scarecrow, lioness and tin "woman" (The leaders were woman) were her beehive, Mia-made and Lorel leaders. They had props and costumes and everything. They even taped yellow paper bricks to the floor for the yellow brick road! I loved it. They are such great leaders.

Yesterday we planned to go to Disneyland with the Mechams from Firth. But apparently they traveled here with Des's dad. They went to Disneyland all week (this week has been HOT) and they were all worn out. On Wednesday night Des's dad announced they were leaving on Thursday. So, we went with Lizzie instead. It was fun. We brought lunches and treats instead of buying them. Mom says we are doing that from now on for field trips. Mom is buying "One Yard Wonders" and it had a lunchbox in it. She says she can buy it if I do most of the sewing. After I finish my quilt of course.

I have more to write but I don't have the time to do it. After school I can write more. I love you all!
