How do I look????? :)

Posted 2 days later: Actually, they DO hurt!! I can't touch my teeth without 'ouch' ing!!! I can't even bite into a banana, or have cereal!! OWWWWW!!!!

A random, random splurge of blogging

Here is a very wonderful picture of Daddy and our loving Cat, Seamus. He just LOVES being dressed up. :D

Today will be very busy....we have a piano recital, then about 4 hours at dance for St. Patrick's day classes. No, we don't dance for four hours. First is the twin's class, then an hour of waiting, then Sese and I do 2 classes. A lot of waiting around. BUT I've been keeping myself busy during the waits with crocheting and knitting! I'm preparing early for the Craft Fair at our library in the summer. Last year I made American Girl doll shawls and headbands, and I think I sold everything except one shawl which wasn't made of a very pretty color, and some other headbands which also weren't very cute. This year I'm also making doll ponchos and I don't know what.

bye. I'm done now. My breakfast is waiting!

Ps~ I really want to get some pictures of my namesakes (Sonja Henie, Sonja the duck from Peter and the Wolf) on here!! Hopefully that will happen soon....*looks mischevious*

I AM STILL ALIVE

DON'T WORRY, FANS, I SURVIVED MY AMAZING EXPERIENCE AT THE MIDWEST IRISH DANCE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND AM STILL ALIVE AND WELL!! Though you may have thought I wasn't since I hadn't posted here for EVER....

Well I am getting braces in 1 week. I got my spacers yesterday--you can hardly see them, and I can hardly tell that they are there! We went to the American Girl place last Saturday--see my doll blog (semdollhouse.blogspot.com) to read about that and other doll stuff. I also have crocheted several more animals and other things like the polar bear I did a while ago. I'm planning on taking some pictures of them soon....

I am also very glad that I now have 10 FOLLOWERS!! Thank you so much!! I just love attention on my blogs. heeheeeheee.

Oh. Talking of dance, we had a teacher from Ireland come to our dance school a while ago to teach us new steps! She comes every January after reigonals...so now we have a bunch of new steps to work on. And also St. Patrick's day is coming up....

I have to go now, my sister is kicking me off the computer....comment, please!! You know I LOVE comments! :D

Bye and I promise that I will blog at least once a month from now on...(!)

(I mean, I don't know how it happened. Last year I got 37th!!! I was just hoping to recall today! WOW!!! I do not know what I did!!!) (The picture is of me, my friend from another school in our area, and another girl from our school. We were all so surprised we qualified!! They were crying but I was too happy! We were just hugging and screaming!!) (I'm the one with black, pink, & blue, and they are the yellow & white and the purple & white.)

Well maybe this wasn't so short after all!!

We're Leaving Tomorrow....

Tomorrow we leave bright & early for our first day of traveling to Columbus, Ohio for Oireachtas. The picture is from last year, waiting for results-this year Selena's on Friday, and I'm on Sunday--so it will be a little easier than last year when we were both on Sunday. :) I'm really excited, and we're both really well prepared, so we'll just get there and do our best! I might post on the way, but I might not so just be patient... :)
If I don't there will be another huge post about it like last year. Dad has an album here on his Picasa so you can look at that if you want! Got to go!

A Seamus Album :)

Click here to see a large album of (cute) Seamus pictures...some of my pics and also some of dad's...for our favorite boy kitty... :)

Just today he was spending his time torturing the dog behind us that has an invisible fence. It was running back and forth but he was just laying and watching it and looking like he was saying "You are so dumb."

That's all for now,

New Wig!!!

I got my new wig the other day (for Irish Dance, for readers who are freaking out right now and saying "What in the world does she have on her head?" or "How many hours did that hair take?" It's not real hair, it's obviously a wig...) and it's really nice and long!! It's lighter than my old one and it feels really good. I can't wait to wear it at Oireachtas! :D

Here are the rest of the pics.
