Did I tell anyone I was going to the beach this weekend? HAHA! NO! Suckers! But I'm back, and it's all good.
So yeah, I went to the beach with the family for 2 days. 8 hour car rides were long. I studied Russian and Spanish. And I talked to Katie in spanish until she told me to shut up, hehe. Some people just don't appreciate my spanish. Why, if Katie knew how much Em wants to hear ONE WORD IN SPANISH come out of me...
Then we get there blah blah blah whatever. I did a great thing!
I learned how to knit!!
Like, really good. Faster than my mom who's known how to do it for 40 years now. Almost as fast as my grandmother who's been doing it for 70. And I picked it up within 10 minutes.
This wouldn't be a big deal except for that I've never ever had something where I just learned it instantly without loads of practice. Usually it takes years. But this stuff, I just picked it up and knitted my little brains out! It's really cool.
Random thing about my family: Whenever we go out and stay in a hotel, Dad always tells us to be quiet because of the "Johnson" family. He says the Johnsons are in the room next door (or wherever) and we can't misbehave because of them. I don't know why, but he's always said that, ever since we were little. It's cute.
Even if he was irritating most of the rest of the time.
I didn't get to go on the beach...it rained the second day and we didn't have time the first. But it was much warmer there than it is here. And it was nice.
Pit has started for Fiddler on the Roof. I'm SO excited!! I didn't realize how much I missed being in pit until the rehearsal started and we were running through everything. It was fantastic! I <3 Pit! It's the best part you can get in the show, I think. Nothing like playing all those sharps and flats (note to singers: try learning music in C)!
So...yeah. Happy Valentines Day to you that I didn't celebrate. Hurrah!
family,
