Celtic Woman

Today was the science fair. I got to skip one day of school, and sit around on my fat butt, doing nothing (except talking once in a great while). Had pizza and Dr. Pepper for lunch. It was awesome!

*Sigh* I did it. I joined Facebook.

It was not an easy decision. My friends pressured me into doing it, while my brothers were "NO! DON'T DO IT! DON'T GIVE INTO TEMPTATION!!!" So I asked my mom. It really was no big deal. I didn't care if I could or not (that is to say, if Momma Bear and The Big Kahuna said no, no biggie)

So after much deliberation, I received an answer (from Momma Bear and The Big Kahuna): Sure. Go ahead. Knock. YOURSELF. OUT. So I did. (Not knocked myself out, but joined Facebook) I am no longer allowed to say that word a-loud (ha ha). But anyway...

In YW, we are starting a 'program' of sorts, and it is being 'kicked-off' by-ME! It's called the 'Adopt-A-Grandma Program'. Wayyy excited. We're getting girls ages 12-17 to visit older women, especially some who are either A-Widowed, and/or B-Don't have kids at home. I'm really excited about it. Each girl will pick a partner, and then a *GRANDMA*, and they will make a card and then write a small note to their *GRANDMA*, to let them know what we are doing. One of the girls (she's about 15) will give us some hints on how to make CUTE cards, and then help us. I'm WAYYYY excited for these girls to be getting involved in service. This is what makes the world go 'round (besides love).

Anyway, I have a video for us today! Everybody say yay (YAY!!!)

This is Celtic Woman. Perhaps you've heard of them, and perhaps not. They're a group of woman from (surprise!) Ireland, and they sing Irish folk songs, as well as some other classics (Over the Rainbow, You Raise Me Up, etc, etc...) Throughout the whole thing, women have come and gone, but there is usually 4 or 5. One of them started when she was 15! She's still pretty young (only 16 or 17... maybe 18), but she's slightly bigger and has REALLY long hair... You'll recognize her. This just goes to show you do NOT judge by what's on the outside, but what's on the inside (so to speak)... their voices! They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL women, and sing BEAUTIFULLY! One of them is a violin player, and she makes me soooooooo jealous, because she has AMAZING violin skills. She's brilliant. This song is "The Sky, The Dawn, and the Sun" or something like that. Watch the violin player as she just JUMPS around, and still plays the violin. Her hair is long, and she keeps flicking her head to either A-keep her hair out of the way, or B-for fun. Who knows? They're amazing.
