Awesome, Admin. I love the Messiah. And congrats to your sister, Clair. (Though she might be kind of creeped out if you tell her, "Hey, this random girl I met online -- no, I don't know what her name is or much of anything about her -- says congratulations on your engagement.") Um... good news... My dad came back from the US today. I got a hundred on my Benedict Arnold report (the guy's actually really interesting!) and aced my Latin test.

I had a band concert Thursday night, and it went really well, even the really hard song!

Congratulations to you, Cara, and the whole band on a job well done!

I don't have that much good news right now, except that next weekend we're going north to my cousin's house for Christmas. But I'm sick right now. OH I had my first limo ride yesterday. And, ummm, on Monday I'm going to perform in my school's Holiday Show, doing 2-tone chimes songs. That's good news, I guess?

 

Yes, concerts and music are good news! Why did you get a ride in a limo? Were you in a wedding party?

I've been feeling awfully glum lately, so maybe this will help me out. Um. Yeah.  Uh, I get to go to church tonight!  We're going to get our Christmas tree soon! (if the rain ever lets up, but this is supposed to be happy...) When this week is over, no more school, for winter break!

Congrats to Admin and Clair... so awesome.  And everyone else with fantastic news.

Congratulations everyone!

My good news is that I won my basketball tournament this weekend, and that it snowed here! Another good thing is that I found an ugly Christmas sweater to wear to Ugly Sweater Day at my school tomorrow.

@Admins:

No, my neighbor really likes fashion and movies and stuff, so for her birthday we went in a limo to SM pier, spent the day there, and then hung out at her house. It was really funny because when we pulled into the pier, everyone in the restaurants started staring at us like we were movie stars. But they didn't know who we were because the limo windows were tinted :)

 

Cool! Sounds like lots of fun. Is that Santa Monica Pier? I've heard and seen about it on TV. We're in the midst of an almost blizzard here in Illinois!
