So far, I've had an awesome weekend.
And, I'm feeling really excited and optimistic right now! For the first time in a few weeks, I've actually gotten enough sleep (hence the lateness in posting this), I've gotten a lot of editing done, and I've done a ton of other things!
Not many days I can brag about that!
First of all, on Friday, I entered THIS contest in which I could win a full request from Curiosity Quills Press. That was an opportunity I simply couldn't pass up. I'm not sure if/when I'll hear back, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. (Final submissions to the contest are being held today, so it might not be for a little while).
Then, my dad randomly wanted to have a party. So we stayed up late, drank Vernors and A&W Root Beer and played pool. Actually, I didn't play pool. I was writing with my mom while my brother, my sister and my dad played.
On Saturday we had to wake up waaay too early for a Saturday and go skating. I felt pretty good about everything, and I even landed some axels which I haven't been able to do for a while! We also went to go see some hot air balloons launch into the sky. We got to sit outside for a while and enjoy the fresh air.
On Sunday, my dad ran in the Blossom Time Run and me, my sister and my mom got to pass out water to the runners with our skating club. We got soaking wet because the runners didn't really stop when they were grabbing the water. They sorta just snatched it from our hands and it spilled everywhere. Either way, it was a TON of fun.
Then, I got to write for a while, and my dad took three naps when he got home. Lol.
Finally, I got to see my best friend who I haven't seen in at least four months. It's sad, because we're both always so busy. What's even sadder.... we live one street away from each other. I could walk to her house in three minutes.
But anyway, I'm excited because she recently started a blog and I've become sorta obsessed with helping her get followers. I'm not kidding... it's so much fun!
Anyway, yeah, that's pretty much my weekend! And then, we're doing something mysterious today... not sure what, but my mom and dad say I'll love it and that it's super exciting... If it's really awesome, maybe I'll tell you about it on Wednesday.
Happy Memorial Day!
