my favorite breakfast

• 6 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Place the eggs, milk, flour and salt in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Pour the butter into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish; add the batter. Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.

Let's Have a Smarty Parade

There was a banquet at my school on April 1st for juniors and seniors with high GPA's. If you were a junior, your accumulative GPA had to be over 3.7.

So these are the top 10 kids in my grade. I'm good friends with most of them. 2 of the girls are mormon (and were in the play with me), and at least 7 of those kids went to N tpwn high school last year. So the W town kids that were in the top 10 last year were bumped down by all of us N town kids, and they're not too happy about that haha. But kids here are very competitive for their grades. Especially because all of us 10 are in college classes. This was for last semester, and I was #8. But as of 3rd quarter, I got bumped up one place. Hopefully I can keep it until the end of this semester. There are only 60 kids in our grade - but it's very hard to get A's here, especially with our college classes. W town was named "the most improved high school in Illinois" this school year and we were in the news (because of all the awesome smarty pants N town kids!)

"I, Kim Macafee, being of sound mind and body..."

I have been so busy with play practice. It was a long 3 months. It was hard. I would memorize and memorize it perfect and freeze on stage. So obviously I was nervous for dress rehearsals. We had 3 strikes to make a mistake or be kicked off and replaced by our double. I got all ready and was sitting down in the auditorium getting a pep talk, and Tashi walks up to me and hands me the car keys for later. She whispered in my ear, "why haven't you been answering your phone? Mom's been trying to call you over and over again. Dad shot a nail through his fingers and has to have surgery." And then walked away, before I could ask her anything else.

I wasn't answering my phone because I was getting dressed and going over my lines. And now I couldn't call because I had to be on stage in 2 seconds. The play started, and I was back stage waiting for my cue all by myself in the dark. The nervousness was making me shake, and then imagining what happened to my dad...I almost passed out. When somebody that close to me gets hurt, it hurts me too, and I was imagining his fingers getting amputated. I finally got a hold of myself so I wouldn't pass out, but then almost started crying. Which wasn't good because I couldn't go onstage crying. So I started praying really hard. And I was able to calm down and go through my first dress rehearsal calmly.

And things have gone smoothly ever since. I've had 2 more dress rehearsals, and I my dad's hand is fine. I just have to be confident in myself now, and have fun. And this week of school has been fun. I'm really excited for the play now.

I will post pictures and talk about it more after it's done. But wish me luck on my opening night tomorrow!
