I am so happy
My grandma is here visiting from Washington and guess what? She is renewing my To-Shin Do fees for the black belt club which will pay for my NEXT THREE YEARS OF TO-SHIN DO LESSONS!!!!!! I think I am the luckiest person in the whole entire world right now!
Speaking of To-Shin Do, I get my next belt this month at the graduation ceremony. That one is yellow with a black stripe down the length of it. My next belt after that will be blue with a white stripe, then I will get: solid blue, blue with a black stripe, red with a white stripe, solid red, red with a black stripe, green with a white stripe, green, green with a black stripe, brown with a white stripe, brown, brown with a black stripe and then all kinds of black ones. There are 10 black levels in fact.
This has been such a great week! I could become spoiled if my grandma stays too long!! On Monday she took me birthday shopping (my birthday is not until November 16, but she won’t be here then so she took me now) and she got me a pair of pants, a Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirt, a package of 6 pairs of socks, 10 pairs of panties, a bra, and a pair of DC high-tops. I have a pair of DC’s but they’re not high-tops, so now I have both!
On Tuesday, my grandma took me shopping for fabric for my next solo dress and OMG you should see it. It is such beautiful fabric. It’s dark dark blue (almost black) with “twilight” colored sparkling designs in it. The designs are almost purple color. Part of the bodice will be silver and she got me some silver colored fabric with silver sequins on it for that. It is going to be beautiful when it is done! I haven’t completely decided on what kind of appliqués I want, I think I want triskeles or trinity knots but I just don’t know yet. It has to be perfect is all I know!!
Then on Wednesday she did the To-Shin Do thing and I am just so so sooooo lucky!!!
Today my mom is finishing my Halloween Costume. I am going to be a ninja raccoon. Yes, I know that sounds strange but that is what I am going to be! I have a black gi, plus a black belt (hah!) a black ninja mask-hood, a black tail (mom is making all that) and I even bought a set of fake ninja swords (they’re for kids, so they’re really cheesy but so what? LOL) at walmart.
Friday we are going to Indiana for dinner and to see the rest (well, most of them) of my Dad’s family.
Saturday I have dance (set dance class). My only totally free day each week is Friday now (except not this week!). My mom even lets me take off school work that day because I do extra to make up for it. I think I have the busiest schedule of everyone I know except maybe Tory!
Let’s see what else?? As my mom would say, “in other news” I think I might be coming down with the flu or something, because my sinuses are all messed up and I am starting to feel achy. Lucky me. My grandma has been here all week so if I am getting something she could wind up with it too and my mom and dad and the family in Indiana and dance people and To-Shin Do people and people in stores and stuff…. that is terrible to think of all the people who I might have infected already and didn’t even know I was getting sick. Plus who infected me? I have been around all kinds of people who are coughing and stuff. Oh well. I never stay sick for long when I get sick, so hopefully this will be done with quick!! The way my luck has been this week, I should be fine by tomorrow!! ^o^

Well, you get Friday off after all, since you’ve now got the full blown flu.
No way are we dragging you to Indiana — you’re not up to it and I’m not risking infecting everyone else on top of that.
And unless you’re better tonight, I’m afraid dance is out in the morning and trick or treat is out Saturday night.
