Hello. I am sick. Not throwing up kind, but really really really sore throat kind. When I swallow, it feels like I'm swallowing a knife. It really hurts. I woke up this morning, and I had the goose cough. I couldn't talk either. Then I had some tea and it felt a little better. I can talk now. Then I took a steaming hot shower because Mom said that would clear my throat. So I did, and that hardly helped. I had tylenol, cough drops, advil; But it just keeps hurting. Mom says I don't have strep throat though. I won't be able to go to Allegro today. Miranda has a little sore throat too; She might not go to Allegro either. Last night I didn't go to dance class because I was too sick. I had a little fever yesterday. But I don't today. I took a nap in the morning. But I'm not tired now. So, I'm really bored. But, Miranda has to fold all the laundry. Heehee. Well, that's all!
Goodbye
~A very sick Izzy~

News
Hello, everybody!
Well, tour is over. It was a good one. I wish there was more days to it. Well, I have a cold. It's not really that bad. I just took some medicine and it well..........BLECH! Grossest flavor ever! I hope I don't have to take it again.
I have big news! I'm getting a new solo dress!!! YAY! I might of told you that I had gotten my dress taken out and down. But now, it is so low down on my hips, that it makes me look really weird when I am dancing. So Mom said that, Yes I need a new solo dress. It is yellow and white. It is in very good condition, even though it is a few years older than my current dress. I will be wearing it in April, for the April Feis. I didn't wear it for St. Patrick's tour because Mom thought that because the tailor person had put so much work into it that I might as well wear it. So I did. (duh)
Allegro Choral Academy has been going very well for Miranda and me. We are enjoying it very much. I may not be able to sing if my cold gets any worse. Our classes are every Thursday at 6:30 to 7:45 (PM). We are singing a song in German. It is very hard. It isn't a very long song, but we still haven't gotten to the end of it.
Well, that's all!

What I've been doing
Hello!
I have not posted for a long time. So, I will tell you about what I have been doing.
The last time I posted it was approximately 5 days until we were going to leave for Kalahari. So I will tell you about our fun and exciting time there.
We drove for about 3 hours until we got to Wisconsin Dells. We drove to our little/HUGE condo which was number 21 I think. There were 2 bedrooms downstairs, 2 bedrooms upstairs, and 1 bedroom in the very downstairs. Mom, Dad, and I slept in the downstairs bedroom. I got a bed to myself! Sonja, Sese, Miranda, and Sophie slept in a bedroom upstairs. Hank and George slept in the bedroom in the basement. Well, there was a flatscreen TV in every room. The kitchen was huge, there were about 3 bathrooms, a HUGE TV in the basement, a large bar, a pool table, and large fireplaces. (We watched Prince Caspian on the flatscreen TV downstairs. It was great.) We had supper and then went to the waterpark. We first went on the family raft ride, which wasn't really that fun but kind of fun. The second day we were there, Sophie and I went on it 6 times. Then we went on a really fun rollercoasterish type of slide, which was very fun and exciting. I went on a red body slide that was pretty fun. And I went on another body slide that had a sort of bowl at the end where you dropped out. That was not fun at all. I got water up my nose, and fell sideways out of the thing. The water was also nine and a half feet deep. It was not a good experience. We went in the wave pool several times, playing 'being washed up on the shore' which was fun because the waves wash you up till you are directly on the 'shore'. The lazy river was pretty good, but not as fun as the lazy river at Chula Vista. But we only did the lazy river once. Well, the last slide that we went on was a big tube slide, which was basically just like the Family Raft Ride. Well, there you have it. That was a rough report of my trip to Kalahari.
Last Sunday, we did our first show for tour! We went to the Waterpark of America. It was very, VERY hot, and even hotter because we were all in our wigs and solo dresses! But after the show we went to the waterpark, because if you danced in the show you got to go to the waterpark for free. First we went into the lazy river, and then, we went on the Family Raft Ride. We waited in line for about 20 minutes. The slide was actually pretty fun. Sonja, Sese, Meema and I went on it. The only thing was that you slid up onto the sides of it. But, it was fun anyway. Then we went left the waterpark, because we only had an hour to do it, because Mom wanted to get home. Well, we went back and got our clothes on, and then we waited for dad to come pick us up. We picked up a cheese pizza from Little Caesar's on the way back. After we had our pizza we just went to bed.
And that is all I have been doing.
Goodbye!

St. Patrick's Day is coming!!!
Hello!!
It is approximately 5 days till we leave for Kalahari!! We can't wait!!! It's gonna be sooo fun!
Well, that's enough screaming.
St. Patrick's Day Tour is coming!!! Our first show day is on March 3rd, at the Waterpark of America!! I have no idea where it is going to be. But whoever does the show gets a free pass and a T-shirt! So of course we will be doing that. I hope that some of you will come to see us dance. We are on the 3rd, the 7th, the 9th, the 12th, the 16th, and the 17th!! The 16th is going to be our earliest day. We have to perform at 7:30 AM!! I am really excited. I don't know what dress I'll be wearing. My white one, or a yellow and white one. I'm pretty sure that I'll be wearing my white one, but if Miranda can't borrow someone's dress, she is going to have to wear mine, and I will have to wear the yellow and white one. The yellow and white one fits good in the length, but it is very tight in the bodice. But I can still breathe. It has a lot of room to take it out, but I don't think that we will be doing that much work on it. On Wednesday we will be picking up my white dress from the Tailor. I had to get it let down and a little let out. But I hope I will be able to wear my white dress for this tour. Well, I am hope to see you at some of the shows! If you want to come, email my mom and she will give you the full details.
Love,
Izzy

The Second Annual OID Feis at the MOA
Hello again. Today I will tell you about the OID Feis at the MOA.
We all woke up at about 7:15 and had breakfast. Then Miranda and I got on our dance clothes and wigs. Dad drove us to the MOA and dropped us off right by Nickelodeon Universe. Then we went and got our numbers, and from there we went into the Great Room (which isn't so great.), and checked it out. It was really hot in there so we went out onto the Patio, which is the only place that had open seats, and put our stuff there. We waited about an hour before we had to get our shoes and dresses on. We checked into our Reel. That went well. Then was Slip Jig. After we came off stage we changed our shoes and went back on stage for Treble Jig. Then was Hornpipe, and we were done! It was the fastest feis that we had ever been to! We checked our results after we had gotten our dresses and shoes off. Miranda got a 4th in Reel, I got a 3rd in Treble Jig, and I won my Hornpipe!!! I didn't place in my softshoe though. I think its because of my posture. Anyway, we had never left a feis at 1:30 before! So now we are home.
The next big even is our trip to Kalahari, which I am sooooooooooooo excited about! We leave in 22 days!
Tonight we are going to watch a move called "The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole". I told you that I am going to start a series called 'The Owls of Ga'Hoole" right? Well, this is the movie of it. Well, I think that I will leave now.
Love,
Izzy

What I've been doing since Christmas
Hello. Well, it's been a while since I posted, and I figured that if I didn't post soon, people would stop looking at my blog, and we wouldn't want that to happen, would we? Well, anyway, here's the update on things that are going to happen and that have happened:
1. This Saturday, Miranda and I are going to start our new choir thingy. It's called Allegro. We are excited and thankful that we could have such a nice opportunity to do this. Thank you, Aunt Jan! (it was a Christmas present from her) 2. On the last weekend in February, my family, my cousin Sophie's family, and my Granny and G-pop on Dad's side will be going to the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells. We are soooo excited! We will have a 2-story Condo, with 5 rooms, 7 TVs, and little movie theater, recreation room, and lots more!! We can't wait! 3. The OID Feis at the MOA is coming up next Saturday. Miranda and I will be participating. It is our first feis of the year and we are hoping we will do good. We are working very hard in class. Our goal this year is to qualify for the Oireachtas. (If you don't know how to say it, that's okay.) 4. That is all I can think of, so yeah. Anyway, last night, we watched Doctor Dolittle. Half of it, at least. It is the old one with Rex Harrison starring as Doctor Dolittle.
I recently went to the library and have gotten many new things, like The Rescuers, and The Wonder Clock. But I especially liked The Spiderwick Chronicles, and Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles. Those are some of my favorite books. They are filled with action and adventure, magical creatures like faeries, goblins, trolls, dwarfs, elves, sprites, and much more stuff. Even though you know that all of that stuff isn't real, it is still a fun series to read and very interesting and well written. If you have read them, good for you! If you haven't, you should read them. I also have started the Warriors series. Warriors is books about cats, and its really hard to explain. And, I started the Wolves of the Beyond series, which is by the same author as the
Owls of Ga 'Hoole series. The wolves are scottish, and the owls are british. Well, I'm sorry, but I have to get ready for dance class, so I won't be able to post any more.
Bye,

Christmas Vacation
Hello.
I haven't been posting in the last few weeks (months) because I could never find a time to get on the computer. So. Now I will tell you what I got for Christmas:
Slippers
A gray sweater
a book called: Cecile: Gates of Gold
The 7th Tintin book
A neon pink flower headband
A dark pink flower clip
A rainbow colored flower clip
Panda earrings
Sequin Dangly earrings
The initial ' I ' necklace
A new bathrobe
Argyle crew socks
3 pairs of ankle socks
A 2013 dog calendar
A cute graphic shirt
$ from Grandma and Grandpa
$ from Granny and G-pop
A book from Granny and G-pop called 'Bible Quotes to live by'
And I also got two gift cards: one for Barnes & Noble, and one for Target. I got these books at Barnes & Noble:
The View from Saturday
The Magic Half
A pretty pink bookmark
And I got these at Target:
A pretty floral shirt
A sparkly gray cardigan
And I also got a frogs bookmark from Auntie Boogie.
And I just went to aeropostale and got a cute blue pullover sweater, and at old navy I got a neon pink thermal long-sleeve shirt. Well, our trip to Grandma and Grandpa's was good. We saw all of the family except for Auntie Boogie's family, because we arrived too late at the dinner at Auntie Carrie's house. We had LOTS of meatballs, and LOTS of cookies, and just little bit of rumegrod because it is so filling.
After we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house we went to Granny and G-pop's house. We watched the recentest Pride & Prejudice, and Uncle Howard's family was there for a little bit. We were pre-heating the oven for a pizza, when Granny started to smell something, and there was smoke coming from the stove. Well, somebody opened the oven, and then the smell came out. There was a plastic drip tray in the oven the whole time, and it had melted to....I don't really know. So we got all of our stuff out of the house, and left all the windows open, and went the Corky's for pizza instead. We got sausage pizza with extra cheese. And then we went to our hotel for the night. We went over to their house after we got up, and had breakfast there. So after lunch, we went home.
So I will now try to post more often. And by the way, has anyone noticed my new monkey? I thought Prickles was too boring. If anyone needs to know how to make it work, just comment on any post, and I will get back to you soon. Well, goodbye for now.
