How's everybody?

Well, good to hear your thanksgivings went so well. Now I guess I get to tell you about mine. Basically, all it was was that we went up to Massachusetts to visit my aunt and uncle and anyone else in the family that decided to drop by at any point during the day, so that was fun...but I have one question - I promise it's just one - AREN'T THE HOSTS SUPPOSED TO CLEAN UP AND TAKE CARE OF THE HOUSE WHILE THE GUESTS ENJOY THEMSELVES?
That was my question, because, it's the exact opposite when we visit my aunt and uncle. See, Aunt Jodie has this brilliant plan which she likes to call "Teams". This is when she makes us find our place card at the dinner table as soon as we walk into the house and look on the back. On the back of the card you will find a number of chores which each guest must do. SHE MADE ME WASH EVERY STINKING DISH FROM THE MAIN COURSE AND THEN DRY THEM ALL. THEN...MY 2ND COUSIN AND I HAD TO PUT THEM ALL AWAY AS WELL! I wouldn't normally complain, except you know what Aunt Jodies chore that she gave herself was? ... ENTERTAIN THE GUESTS! Yeah, I know. So while we were all slaving away, cleaning up her house, she's talking to all the adults that had to do stuff like, 'move the coats from the doorway' or 'set the silverware for dinner' or my favorite was Richard's chore: 'talk to Grandma and make sure she's having a good time' [That's not exactly the world's hardest task.] I swear she gives my cousins and I the hardest jobs, but whatever. I don't want you to think badly of her, I just want you to know how weirded out my Thanksgiving was. (It was a lot of fun anyway, though)
P.S.
We had to do almost everything for desert too. 6 PIES, 2 PUDDINGS, 3 CARTONS OF ICECREAM...you get the picture. My family is massive.

Does that compare to Aunt Linda, Mollie? LOL

Twilight

So, today I was on www.stepheniemeyer.com and I saw who was going to play Bella in Twilight. Her name is Kristen Stewart and she is perfect for the role of Bella.

SEAGULL"S ARE STUPID!

OMG mollie!

Wow Mollie. That is kind of scary. I do feel bad for you, though. Your aunt doesn't seem like the kind of person that is exactly FUN to hang out with. well, send her to New Jersy to deal with the gulls. Maybe they'll listen to HER. The sure as... well, they didn't listen to ME. I guess that I'm not scary enough for them. Don't let the mortals boss you around, little vampire! Or the Muggles. ESPECIALLY Aunt "Marge" (your aunt's new name.)

Obi's got to be one of the best horses EVER

Ok, I'll admit that I'm stearing you back to the subject of Phil again (Philip!), but whatever. He was finally back and I was so glad to see him! Anyway, today I ended up riding Obi. He's this really massive dutch-warmblood horse [I'll put a pic of him on here sometime] and he's also really fun to jump because he loves to go fast. Obviously, I had a good ride, otherwise I wouldn't be talking about Obi with such love or curtasy...
The cool part about me riding Obi was that Phil rode him later on too. How awesome is that?! Because then, we spent the entire time before Phil's lesson telling each other funny stories about stupid things that had happened while we were riding Obi, cuz he's such a nut. So then we got to talking about my ride and how Obi was behaving, and Phil was all impressed when I told him that Obi did the bending line for me at canter (that was pretty sweet) and then I acted all impressed when he told me a similar story about a horse show I guess I missed. Whatever.
Finally it was 6 o'clock and Phil went into the ring to get on Obi which left me by the gate. Oh well, we can't always steel a horse and ride with our friends... :( . It was so funny though because Obi was getting really wound up every time Phil trotted or cantered - trust me that horse can MOVE - and obviously Phil hasn't ridden in a while so he was all stiff and wasn't really expecting Obi to go so fast. So every time he rode by I would tell him to fix little things in his position and he would make some funny remark in return. Then when he started cantering he couldn't talk to me, so he walked by so many times as they took a breather while I whispered all these things he could do to make Obi slow his canter. That's what I had been practicing earlier in the day, so I had all the answers (as usual). It was really funny, that's all I've got to say.
But do you wanna know the best part?
Their mom heard my mom telling me that she would have to drive me to the barn later than I had wanted because she had to work late. So their mom joins into our conversation and starts telling me that if I ever need a ride, she'd be happy to drive me, seeing as Phil and Angela have riding on the same days that I do and even if they don't they love to come to the barn anyway, and that no one would mind in the slightest. Their mother is a GODDESS! So now I'm able to snag a ride with them if I ever need one, pretty sweet, huh?
...And now I'm all happy...

This is what was plaguing Meaghan through our trip...

Thanx Izzi...

Thank you, Izzi. Really. I wanted to know how much fun you and Mollie had on the other bus, with most of my friends. Abby and Val were on my bus. That's the only friends that I had on my bus. BUT.... on MY bus, we had the awesomest manhatten tour guide. His name was Doug. HE HAD A PONY-TAIL! HA! only cool guys have pony tails. He let us scream. Austin S. screamed "I LUV U DOUG!" when he got on, and doug said, "I LOVE YOU 2 MAN! I LOVE YOU TOO!" It was really funny. Izzi, post the picture of the killer seagulls.

~Remember a few things...
Only cool guys have pony tails,
All clowns are freaky
SEA GULLS ARE THE CENTER of ALL EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to Broadway...

Hey again! Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while, I've been busy, ok? Especially yesterday - the field trip was sooo much fun, wasn't it? - anyway, I'm all excited because my mom told me I could probably go and see Dan when he performs Equus at Broadway. [I'm not trying to rub it in your face, guys, just trying to get you all excited too! You never know what'll happen in the future.] Anyway, during the bus tour we drove by Broadway and I took a pretty good photo while we passed by. I wish we could have stopped. Mollie and I were so excited to see it, I bet Meaghan was too but I'm not really sure since she was on the other bus. :( *waaa. So here's the picture I took. I'm also going to post some other ones from our NY trip pretty soon if I can make it work.
