Summer's Almost Here!

Yay! I have been so busy with finals, tennis, jumping, running and flexed arm hanging that summer has rolled around before I knew it! Yesterday was exciting and exhausting. In the morning, I had the Local Meet of Hershey's Track and Field Games to attend. Last year, I got to the State Meet in the 11-12 age group. This year, I'm in the 13-14 age group so I knew it was going to be much more of a challenge, especially since I hadn't been practicing much! On Friday, we practiced in the yard, landing jumps of only 7'3''! The local meet proved to be on my side when my first jump measured in at 8 feet! Wowzers! A nice gold medal and a ticket to District Meet for me! I was also competing in the 200 meter, but since I had only run it 2 times before, I wasn't excepting anything great. My time was 30.1 seconds, only granting me a silver medal, but that's fine with me. It's still my personal best.

We came back yesterday and took Doany, the cat that had invited herself into our house for 2 weeks, to PAWS. I didn't go, because I didn't want to cry and because I was exhausted. Doany will be going to a nice foster home until she is ready for adoption, and we will be notified of any news.

Then to a 4 hour school's out party and back home again for me. No wonder I slept in!

Today I have a tennis match at 1 pm. Don't really know if I'm playing singles today, but I hope so.

Been practicing flexed arm hanging for Jubilee Day. Hopefully I can hang for 70 seconds and win a T-shirt that says "Pain is weakness leaving the body". Wouldn't that be fun to wear around!?!

What are you looking forward to this summer? I really want to go to Hersheypark. I'm not a huge roller coaster dare devil, but I hope to go to the Boardwalk and relax on Intercoastal Waterway, and a few rides on the Great Bear would be fun, too!

The littest kitten

The littlest kitten comes down every day,
from a big mountain that's far far away,
there lives on the mountain a firey soul,
it wants the kitten at any toll,
the kitten must hide day after day,
on that big mountain that's far far away!

Thank you Noodlebug for the inspration for that poem/song!

The Cat and the Kitty

The cat and the kitty were both very pretty,
And once they were asked to a ball.
When they said no, the king cancelled the show,
And then there was no ball at all!

A short while later they were asked by a trader,
If he could trade for some fur.
When they didn’t accept, the man tried his best,
But he could not get them to pur.

The cat and the kitty were both very pretty,
But they thought if they showed their faces,
They would get caught, and kept to distraught,
So they did not go to such places!

So the cat and the kitty kept their lives pretty,
Never to show a soul.
The cat and the kitty lived in the city,
And I do so pity them all.

But, if the cat and the kitty were both so very pretty,
But never to show their faces,
How did the king and the trader know,
That they asked them to go to these places?

Noodle Poem

Here is a poem I wrote about my precious Noodlebug:

From Christmas pictures,
To just fun play,
That cat’ll be cute whenever you say!

She really likes ham,
But spaghetti is best,
Once in a while,
She does need a rest!

She goes to her bed,
And cuddles up tight,
I always wish her good, good night,

She says it back with her little green eyes.
In the morning she has a wonderful surprise!
But what has she caught,
But two little brown mice,
That kitty of mine sure is nice!

Noodlebug

Noodlebug is my ultimate dream. I got her from the fabulous organization, PAWS, on August 23rd, 2008. On March 9th, Noodle will be 2 years old. As you can see above, she is a very content little kitty.
