About my week: Well, yesterday I went to see The Phantom of the Opera on broadway. The play was fabulous. During intermission my mom and I went to a shop to by a shirt. We asked the sales lady if the cast members would come out and sign autographs. The lady said probably not. I was pretty sad. I went back and saw the rest of the play which was so cool. At the end my mom and friends went to the stage door just to see if the people might come out. The girl who played Christine came out and a few other cast members came out. Then a guy came out and said that The Phantom will not be coming out. I saw it coming so my mom asked Christine to take in a few things for him to sign. then she came out and told us to come in. I went BACK STAGE and saw The Phantom!!! It was SO cool. He signed some things and he had the weird stuff on his face and he said I could touch it... It felt like a sponge! Then he said that we could take a tour of the stage! It was SO awesome. We kinda went behind the scenes. It was REALLY fun. He was really nice. I miss him now that everything is over:( He was the BEST Phantom in the whole world.... Oh well. It was awesome. I had asked my mom earlier of what the chances are of going back stage. She basically said 10%. That 10% happened! Well, we saw how he got up to the ceiling on the stage and the monkey music box. We saw the dumby that was supposed to be the guy who got hung. It was weird talking to him because on stage, the last time I saw him, he was like crying and stuff. Then I come to meet him and he's like Hey! How are ya? Touch my face!! It was SO fun and I can't wait to go back again:)

About my week: Hello everyone! I was gone for a week and this is how it went. I arrived with my best friend Vivian and a little girl named Skyler wasn't there. Me and Viv wanted her to come so she did the next day. We went shopping and I bought a pair of chucks and a livestrong. Then for food we had Subway!! I love that restaurant. Skyler was SO bad though!!! She screamed so loudly that it was embarasing! So then we went home. The next day we stayed at home being really bored. But we did take Skyler to a park. (She's young you know) Then the next day we went to a Wild Animal Park. We fed like Zebras and Camals and llamas and reindeer, ect. Also I got really disy when we took Skyler to the petting zoo. I was dizzy and nautious and stuff. I think I had a heat stroke. It was horrible. I rushed to the hospital and had surgery and- Just kidding;). I was ok. Then we went to my uncles house. We went on a divning board there!!!! I've never been on one in my life! I did flips and dives and turns and it was REALLY fun. The next day, Skyler had a party that was really boring. Me and Vivian were watching tv the whole time. I also slept:) It was really piecful. Then we went to the science meusam. I built a pyramid with building blocks, too. There's also a shadow picture thingy. You press a button and it takes a picture of your shadow. It was super! Then we went to a dinosaur thing. Me and Vivin had fun even though the place needed help. Serious help. It was cool. I could like ride on a fake dinosaur and stuff. Then the next day we went to amazing square. It's a place somewhere. BUT IT WAS SO COOL! It was basically one big jungle gym. The basement was my favorite. There was a little tumbling mat and I did my back hand spring! Also there was a fake recording studio. I played the electric guitar. I don't know how to play but Vivian said that I sounded really good!!!!!! Well, The next day I went back to my house and found out my site is LOOSING ITSELF!!!!!!!!! I still love my little baby:) Uh.... that's it:)

About my day: Today was hard. I went to bed at like 1:00 watching phantom of the opera and I had to wake up at 8:30 for my little sisters dicter apointment. I had to go. So it wasn't fun. But the day got better as it progressed. My friend and I looked at dresses and she couldn't find anything so we decided to make our own. It didn't turn out so well 'cause I'm not the best drawer in the world. So anyways, my bestest aunt ever gave me the bestest gift ever!!! She went to see the most favorite phantom of the opera ever in London. She had a playbill signed by the most famous phantom that there is!!!! Michael Crowford!!!! Aren't I so lucky? Yah sorry. I also got the phantom soundtrack!!! Andddddddddddddd I listened to it twice! So I'm going out of town until Sunday. Hope my hotel is good! See ya.

Ham Ham feeling: Snoozer My feeling: Tired Date: Thursday, June 23, 2005

About my day: Well, like last time, I woke up to late. So my dad was late for work. When I got there, I started coloring wating for the thing to open. (Coloring was actually kind fun!) So it opened and we did stretches. I was so sore from yesterday and so tired that I could barley do the stretches. After the stretches, The teacher split us up in the little kid group and the 4 older girls. We did back-hand-springs but unfortinatley, It wasn't as good as last time. My teacher said that there wasn't something right about what I was doing. So I haven't mastered my back-hand-spring yet. Sooooo, there's this girl who wants to be my friend. I won't say her name, but lets pretend that it's Adreane. (sorry to everyone who's name is that) She's all close to me and everything, but she's young. She also doesn't speak right. Anyways, I like her ok.... I like Sammy better. So tomorrows my last day and I'll be really bored from then on. So maybe tomorrow my back-hand-spring will be better. Talk to yall later! Bye-Q

Ham Ham feeling: Cappy My feeling: Excited!! Date: Tuesday, June 21, 2005

About my day: Well, today started out really bad. My dad came to wake me up for gymnastics camp at 7:50 A.M. Gymnastics starts at 9:00. I said, "Ok ok! I'm coming..." My dad went away. I soon fell right back to sleep. Then I woke up at 8:15. "REBECCA!! YOUR NOT READY????" Said my dad. "I'm sorry I'll get ready..." My dad went off. You all are probably thinking I went to sleep again. Well, I didn't. I got dressed and brushed my teeth and combed my hair and got a snack for the road. I got to gymnastics camp and I went to the floor. Luckily, my teacher split all the little kids with a teacher and the older kids with another teacher. It wasn't boring like yesterday. So we went to trampoline and played boring games. Then it was snack time. Then we set off to the foam pit! That's when my teacher asked me, "Have you ever thought of trying out for the junior team?" I said, "No, I never thought I was good enough." She said, "Well, you should think about it." So anyways, that made me feel good. Soon it was time for the full dayers to go do "color time". All the older kids stayed with a teacher and practiced back-hand-springs. (You jump backwards, land on your hands and pull you feet over and land) First we did it on this barell type thing. There were sides and we were supposed to put our back on the opposite side of us. I was the only one who could do it out of 4 girls. My teacher moved me to spotting me with my hands. Then I got good at that and she told me to do it by myself. I was so excited, yet scared, when she said that because I wanted to learn a back-hand-spring soooooo badly. I did it by myself and it worked!! I did it perfectly on the mat. I was so amazed. Then all was over. Everyone gathered together in a little circle and showed everyone what we learned today. I showed everyone my back-hand-spring. My mom was there at the time and fell to the floor. She was amazed. Then my teacher who said about the junior team talked to my mom to tell her. And my gymnastic's places team is the best one in the state!! My mom said it was a HUGE compliment. So did my dad. Well, by the end of the week I'll be able to do a bach-hand-spring!!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! It feel great to be me:)
