My Life At the Current Moment

My Life At the Current Moment: A New Series by Jordan Reyha Coble :-)

I am hot.
Rylie is playing Moby Blaster.
Dad is working.
I am hot.
Dogs are panting in the pen outside.
Fans are blowing.
I am hot.
Don't know what mom's doing.
I am wearing my purple dress.
Did I mention I am hot?
The End.

School + Jodi + Awanas

Hi, everybody! So school has started for me, and exciting things are already happening! For example...

1. I have a perfect score in Pre. Algebra.
2. I'm making lots of new friends!
3. My history class is going to put on little skits for our class about Ancient Rome.
4. Almost all the kids at school seem to be Christians!

So is school going great for you? Hope so, 'cause it's going great for me!

Jodi has become our mini, not-so-ferocious guard dog. Rylie got this butterfly container net thingy for her birthday, and she laid it on the ground...Jodi started barking at it! It was SO cute! Jodi always enjoyed scaring the vacuum as I vacuumed the stairs today. :-)

I have a science test coming up tomorrow, so please wish me luck! I'm trying to bring my science grade up from an....NO ROXY!!!!...sorry. Roxy was just abot to jump onto my desk, covered with important homework assignements, books I study with...okay. Back to what I was saying. I'm trying to bring my science grade up from an A- to at least an A. An A- isn't that bad, but I still would like a little better grade.

Now I have an important question: To be or not to be (an Awanas leader)? Rylie will be going to a small group at church that night and I can usually get my homework done before Awanas begins...now here's my second question: if I do Awanas, should I help out with the little kids or the Kindergarteners? Please help!

Anyway, I think I should be done talking now.
Porkchops! (My new good-bye saying)

Rylie's Luau/Nutcracker Cast List

Rylie had a blast at her luau, but she definitely had some trouble being with all of her friends. She had invited so many people from different areas - from church, from dance classes, from Tracy...anyway, it was fun.
She got THREE Webkins altogether (and one looks like Brandi!), and had a blast going through this American Girl activity book she got from Madison & Hanna. Madison and Hanna stayed afterwards and we had pizza and played lots of Nintendo games! We even put on a little skit for our parents. (Which is no surprise. We put on skits every single time we get together.)

And now...the moment you've all been waiting for...THE NUTCRACKER CAST LIST CAME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not stop squealing and screaming when I saw it on the email inbox! So here are our roles:

Rylie: Wind-Up Doll, Chinese Tea, Rose
Comments: Rylie really wanted to be a wind-up doll, and so she's really happy she got the role! She has been Chinese Tea every year we've been in The Nutcracker, so she's practically memorized the dance!

Jordan: Ballerina Doll, Butterfly, Rose
Comments: I consider the Ballerina Doll a "lead role", but Mom says it really isn't. My reasons for saying it is because the Ballerina Doll gets a little solo in the doll dance. The butterfly is a new role, and I have no idea what I do there.

Ms. Deborah (my dance teacher) also wants my parents to be in The Nutcracker! She wants Mom and Dad to be party guests in the party scene and Dad to be a hip-hop dancing soldier! Dad can't dance to save his life! He won't be alone. Some of my friend's dad's are going to be a soldier as well...better sign my dad up for dance lessons!

That's about it for now. I just got an idea for a poll! Which lead role in The Nutcracker sounds most fun to be? Please vote!

Artichokes!

An odd title, I must say. But I felt like typing it. Tomatoes! Carrots! Cookies! Beach towels! Bathtub! Bananas! Monkeys! Fish!
I need to stop. Now. Before I scare you guys so much you will never visit my blog agian (which I don't want to happen). :-)
Everybody, please wish Rylie a happy birthday! She is turning ten today and her luau party is tomorrow! Natasha, her Polynesian teacher, will be performing at the party & then teaching the kids some of the dances.
Don't forget to wish Madeleine and Taylor a happy birthday, too! (Their birthday is this month, too.) They are turning 13 years old! And Mom's birthday was this month, too. It was on the 6th.
That's about all I have to tell you in this post.
Porkchops! (translated: bye!)
