Best Life Size Stuffed Animal Ever!

Tomorrow night is the performance of Macbeth!  Today's rehearsal went really well.  We've got some super cool props and such, so it should be a great night.  I've got 20 free minutes while I wait for my clothes to bleach so I thought I'd write.

Today I was on the search for my favorite childhood stuffed animal.  I started on Amazon but I couldn't seem to find it which was odd because that place has everything!  Anywho, I looked again this evening and wait for it.... YES! Found it.  And what is "it"? Well,

Best stuffed animal ever, right?  I won't say how my first one got away from me, (believe me, it won't happen again) but I will say how I discovered it when I was about 10.  My Nana took me out for my birthday to a toy store in Falmouth and said I could get anything I wanted in there.  I looked up and there was this alcove above the store door.  On display were these life size dogs.  My trained eyes immediately zoomed in on the husky dog, my favorite breed.  Well, you know the rest.  She bought it, and I was in childhood bliss, the "I've got the best stuffed toy ever kind of bliss". So, yeah, I just ordered the same exact one off Amazon with my babysitting money and am waiting with the highest anticipation ever for it to arrive!  Gotta go!  Mum just got home from work!

Since this month has been super crazy I don't know where to start!  I finally got a paying job for babysitting
1-2 year olds at my church every week.  They are so fun to play with. :-) I'm currently in a second Shakespeare play.  We're doing Macbeth.  I'm not in it as much this time, even though I play two different people, Lady MacDufff and a Gentlewomen which is like a maid or something.  Last night, (Friday evening) I went to the theaters with Hannah, Annie, Olivia, and Caleb to see Star Wars the Phantom Menace in 3D.  I was the only one who wore a Star Wars shirt!!  Clearly we can see the bigger fan here people. :-) So, my mom and I are official vegans now.  Meaning we only eat plants and whole grain foods. Absolutely nothing that comes from animals. It's been going really well although it's super hard for me because I see my siblings eating everything I'm trying not to eat but want to.  I've basically been making ziti
for all my lunches.  I know, I know!  So yummy and it's impossible to get sick of eating ziti practically everyday right? Ha-ha.  Here's a picture of our guinea pig.  Sarah and I got out some stuffed animal toys and put him among them.  See if you can spot him!

Oh, he is so cute.... Today I'm planning on a huge organization of my room.  I want to make wall space for my I Love Lucy posters but I don't want to take down the cute old fashion little girl pictures I have on my walls.  The only answer is I need a bigger room with 50 foot wall space.
