Once Upon A Mattress

Last night I went to my middle school's performance of Once Upon A Mattress! Now don't allow your mind to stray to the gutter before I explain. It's a bit of a parody of The Princess and the Pea. It's funnier, musical, and more in depth.

The main character, Princess Winnifred, AKA Fred, is desperate to marry Prince Dauntless, but his mother doesn't want him to marry. So the queen puts all eligible princesses through a test, and Fred's test is about sensitivity. The queen puts a pea under twenty goose down mattresses.

Of course you already know how the story goes (unless you either live under a large rock with no connection to the outside world, and in that case you wouldn't be reading this, OR you live in the wizarding world, and grew up with Beedle's tales such as Babbity Rabbity And Her Cackling Stump).

Fred feels the pea (and or jousting equipment), thus keeping her awake at night. She passes the test, and is able to marry Prince Dauntless.

Why am I telling you this, you ask? Well, one of my friends (who is following my b log, bless her soul (and my other followers)) JUST SO HAPPENS to be the STAR of the show! Shout out to Fred, you did a wonderful job, along with your cast mates!

This is the Last Hedgehog Whisperer signing off.

BY THE WAY!

By the way, how do you like the new look of my blog? Snazzy, I know.

And if you're wondering what that little bar is under where it says the title, then I suppose I'll tell you. I doubt that you'll want to, but in case you do, you can follow my blog by email. That's right folks! If you just enter your email into the address bar thingy, it will send you an email every time I post... Yeah, you probably don't want that, given I update as much as I say I will.

So... BLOG OFF!

Happy Spring!

So. I'm quite sorry that I haven't updated (again...), but I've been swamped with schoolwork. There is really just no time to sit down and write a whole long post.

But. I've decided to start with a new approach to my blog! (Blog is happy). Every day or every other day, I'll try to write a short post about something that happened. YAY!

Now. An update on my life: we're finally getting a new car! After my dad's accident (more on that when I have more time to type) we have only had one car, and one driver in my family. It's been quite a bit harder, mostly for my mom, and I'm excited that my dad will be able to drive again soon! He broke his foot, and has had to wear a boot, so he couldn't really drive...

And. Happy Spring everyone! Now I gotta get back to homework, I was just excited to be sorta restarting my blog. :) Bye bye friends who will probably never read this!

Whoops...

Dear Blog Friends...

Yeah, I'm sorry I haven't updated this in some three months... I've been meaning to do it since the week after my last post. My new New Year's resolution is to have at least one blog post per month. If you were wondering what my first one was... let's just say it had something to do with curing my obsession with Harry Potter... That didn't work. Especially because my family took a vacation to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I'll have a whole separate post for that though, hopefully later this month.

So that's my new resolution.

And now here's a shortened list of big things that have happened to me since my last post:

• My birthday! I got a bunch of radical clothes and scarves!
  

• Christmas! I got a family trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

• Holiday break sucked royal hippogryff dung.
  

• The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Coming soon to a blog near you.
  

I had a really great birthday. Nobody even sang to me at lunch! (Yes, that's a good thing...) Although some people wanted to... My parents got me a bunch of cool gifts. I thought the natural hedgehog was one of the awesome-est hedgehogs I have for my collection. (Now more than 80 hedgehogs). I still haven't had a birthday party, but I am planning on it, don't worry.

And then Christmas was as magical as ever. Lots of gifts (giving and recieving, I'm not THAT self-centered). The best present definitely had to be the trip to Florida. I mean, who doesn't love Florida, let alone Harry Potter?

The holiday break wasn't nearly as good as it should have been. I started to have a sore throat on Christmas, and I never thought it would lead to more than a week of being imprisoned in my house. I had a bad cough that seriously wouldn't go away. I literally left my house three times the whole vacation. Once to go to First Night in Boston (which was the only fun I had the whole time), once to go to my grammy's house to celebrate Christmas with some of my mom's family, and once to go get the mail. This is not an exaggeration. Or a lie. Or a joke. This is true. Real. Depressing. It was painful to cough, and I couldn't go two minutes without breaking out into another chorus of hacking fits.

So, I just wanted to update my blog, because it was getting sad. I know you missed me, blog. I missed you too! Okay, it's late and I think that I'm pretty tired. I mean, really. I was talking to my blog. Well, goodbye and goodnight fellow bloggers! You too blog...
