Two or three days ago the phone rang. That's no difference in anything. But it was the call that mattered.
Mom answered it. When she got off it, though, she said, "Lucie, you have one hold in at the library!"
At first I was confused. But then I realized what that had meant, and I squealed for joy. It meant that the library had just called, and How To Boil Water: Life Beyond Takeout, after ten weeks of waiting, had finnaly come in.
We didn't just get up to go and get it, though. We were doing things and busy. When my Dad came home from work, I told him it was finnaly in, because I knew that he would be excited too, after listening to me complain for ten weeks.
He then said, "What? It's in and you haven't got it yet? We're going right now."
So we went. I got How To Boil Water, '1001 things everyone should know about the Universe', 'The world book of Math: volume 2' and 'The bookclub cookbook'.
The next day we went to the other library near us and I got out a TON of kitchen design books and cookbooks. The reason we went there is because I had to get a novel by Louisa May Alcott, and it was not at the other library. I gotta go,

It's today, folks
Hello there,
Today is Dance Class! I'm so happy! Like I told you before, we're doing a dance to the song, 'King of New York', from 'Newsies'. Yesterday I watched Newsies, to get into the right 'mood' for dancing to King Of New York. I'm pretty excited to tell Hannah, who loaned it to me, that I actually got a chance to watch it. Living in a house with 8 other people gets pretty hectic, and ya can't always just watch what you want when you want to. Look, I just did this great post on my other blog, so I'm pretty posted out. Just go there and check it out.

Please just hit the word 'it' in check it out, the last sentence, to go!

one short day
Tomorrow is Dance class!! Finnally. Last week it was canceled for spring break, technically. Well at first, it was gonna happen. Then my teacher canceled, probably because she was going on vacation over the weekend and needed to pack. So now I'm super excited to go to dance class this week.
I'm real into this book, 'An Old-Fashioned Girl' by Louisa May Alcott. I'm wondering whether to read it a lot today, though, because I'm near the end and want it to last longer. Last night, before I went to sleep I was reading it, then when I was asleep I was dreaming about it, and then when I woke up today I wanted to read it SO BAD. But I have this rule with myself, never read in bed, because then you just end up in bed all morning and that's no fun, though some people might think so. It's so hard, because I like getting to the end of a book, but at the same time it's so sad to end it. I mean, you've been with these characters a pretty long time now, and then BOOM you're done with them. I don't want to be done with these characters!!!!! But that's what I always say, and then I start reading another book and think the same thing. It's so hard, every time, to switch from character to character. Or from TV show to TV show. Me and my sister Annie have this thing where we watch a TV show or a movie every night. So we usually watch old episodes of 7th heaven, taped off of ABC family, and then when it comes to the weekend, when the episodes arn't on, we have to watch something else. That's hard for me because I SO wanta watch 7th Heaven, but then we start watching Gilmore Girls or Full House so that the next night I want to watch those. Then when it comes Monday night, I wanta watch the thing we've just watched on Sunday night, not back to 7th Heaven. Luckly, last night we watched an even older episode of 7th Heaven, like from the 1st season, from a DVD Annie owns. So today I feel like watching 7th Heaven again. Boy oh Boy, transitions are hard. . .

That was kind of stupid
So, in my last post I was saying 'Oh, I'm so sorry I haven't been posting!' and then I go ahead and not post for a long time again. Gosh Darn it.
Anyway, I'm posting now. After burning myself last night (for the full story go to lilyandlola.blogspot.com), I had a good night sleep that was almost pain free. Of course, since I was just laying down in bed (you know, after I was done reading, but before I was asleep), and my mind wasn't thinking about anything in particular, my foot started hurting again but it was a duller pain and went away when I was actually asleep.
In my house I'm a known sleepwalker, and I usually sleepwalk because my mind is urging me to get up, fearing I will over sleep. So it's usually around 1:30 AM when I get out of bed hurriedly and get dressed and ready to go downstairs, and then realize it's 1:30 and I get back into bed, fully dressed. I tell you, it's weird.
One time, my brother Aidan caught me. I was all dressed and opening my blinds, following my morning routine, when Aidan came into my room, on the way to the bathroom and said, "Lucie, why are you dressed?" I peered through the blinds and saw it was dark, so I sighed and went back to bed.
Another time, my other brother Ian caught me. He had come up late that night and saw me sitting up in bed. He said, "Hi Lucie," and I said, "Hi." "Are you awake?" he asked me. "Yes," I answered. "Okay, goodnight," he then said, and went to his room. I then got out of bed, closed the door and got dressed. Of course, I was asleep and it was 12:30 AM.
Those are just two of my many sleepwalking adventures. I have to go.
Forever a sleepwalker,
Lucie

Sorry about that
Sorry about not posting sooner. I didn't really have anything to post, and I've been so busy lately I haven't really been on the computer.
Well, I have a lot to post about now, but I'll do one thing at a time. Today is Good Friday, the day the Lord died for us. It is a very solemn and sad day, so we have a rule where we fast for three hours, the hours when the sun refused to shine. That would be between twelve and three. We are not aloud to use electronics, eat, and we should only drink water. So I thought I would get an update in before twelve.
Anyway, I have two new people in my dance class. They're named Sarah (or Sara, she didn't say how you spell it) and Ashley. Ashley's been in a bunch of musicals, so she sorta knows how to dance. Sarah said she's never danced before, though. It's always good to have a beginner in the class because then you get to go over steps you already know again and you can learn them better.
Well, on the way out of dance class, we saw this robin fly into a puddle. I was watching it, so I pointed it out to my Dad, while Hannah's and my mom talked. The robin started drinking the dirty brown water, and then started bathing in it. A couple of sparrows then flew over to try to bathe, too. But the robin didn't want them in his puddle, so he snapped his beak at them until two of them flew away. But one sparrow was still there, hopping around and being pecked at. Then that sparrow left too, and the robin continued to bathe. The sparrow two seconds later came back, and annoyed the robin again to try to get in the bath also. But they both ended up leaving, and the funny thing was, that there was another puddle three or four feet away, that the sparrows could have taken. I guess it's just that something somebody else has always looks more appealing then something that you could have.
