Cantatatata!!

[htotheh]

So the cantata went really really well. It was more cute than skilled, but still. I definitely brought the cool points--I watched the video that my dad taped and discovered that my elbows and upper arms were almost completely still. No dancing skills here, even when someone else tells me what to do. But! I sang my solo in front of people, and didn't screw up too too badly, so it was good.

I'm still kind of bouncy. Spent forty-five minutes playing with about five nine- to eleven-year-olds and eating ice cream. Chris came, and they decided that we needed to stay five feet apart. Of course, their idea of five feet was more like the rest of the world's idea of ten, but still. That didn't stop them. And there were more of them than there were of us. Along the way, though, I managed to steal Bethany's drumsticks, and almost her bandana. And I dumped Emily on the ground. I suffered one injury, when Bethany stepped on the side of my ankle funny and I started bleeding, but it was still fun. AND Allison said that I was cool like Maria, and Maria draws, so I was very happy. I'm cool! Boo-yah!

You know you have it made when a nine-year-old thinks you're cool. And she's a cool nine-year-old, so that makes it even better.
