Tuesday morning was really cold, but me & Tash took Em to DisneySea. For some freaky reason it was crowded again like when we took Nat & Jason. It was freezing cold, it was raining, and it was a Tuesday morning in the middle of February, but it was still really packed! We took her on Tower of Terror, and Raging Spirits twice. Indiana Jones was shut down and they kept having to check Journey to the Center of the Earth. We ate lunch at that yummy Mexican restaraunt. We got so cold we didn't realize how cold we were. We went home at 3 pm and just sat in front of the heater for the rest of the day.
Wednesday Tash took Em on the train to go see Tokyo Tower, and they met up with my dad. I had to teach English to Yuki and had singing lessons, so I couldn't go with them. Aaarrrrggghhh! But when I got home from my singing lessons, everyone was home including uncle Seth who was going to stay over too. Seth was going to sleep in the room Emily had been sleeping in, so Em and came and slept in my room. We had a slumber party! Mia was really jealous that Em was sleeping in my room. It was squishy, but fun. We just talked forever, and she fell asleep while I was telling her a story, so I was talking to myself forever. haha

This came in the mail the day Em got here! I was listening to it on my iPod shuffle while I was cleaning the house before she came. It's really good! (Vanessa Anne Hudgens, played Gabriella Montez on the runaway hit "High School Musical,"). She's signed a recording deal with Hollywood Records. Her debut CD "V" was released September 26. So I'm behind. I was debating whether to buy it or not. But I really like it!!! Here's a review:
Vanessa Hudgens is not "indescribable," as the MC who opens V proclaims in a hopped-up, hyped-out voice. On the contrary, the smoky-eyed High School Musical star commands a multitude of adjectives--she's adorable, talented, ambitious, and as this debut makes clearer than a set of invisible braces, young. With one foot in the grown-up, club-going world and the other in a powder-pink bedroom with a Barbie under the bed, Hudgens kicks out a crop of hooky and highly accessible tracks here. First single "Come Back to Me" dabbles in a sophisticated breed of disco, "Let's Dance" lets rip a whispery torrent of R-rated come-ons, and "Let Go," bolstered by its girls-night-out lyric, loses its inhibitions beneath an R&B-lite beat. Elsewhere, on tracks no less compelling, Hudgens explores her inner Hilary Duff: "Drive" pops the hood on her pop-anthem side ("As long as I'm alive, I'm gonna drive"), and "Afraid" wrestles with a sense of vulnerability all wrapped up in teen hormones ("Why am I so afraid/I can't see what's come over me"). Split personality or no, Hudgens makes a strong case through her Anna Nalick-reminiscent vocals alone that she's someone worth watching--a lot of emotion pours through her still-developing pipes and, as anybody who saw High School Musical knows, the girl can twirl. -Tammy La Gorce
And I sent these to Em and she brought them for me! They're so cute, I luv 'em!
