Last but not least.... The Rachel

Practicing her pout

She opted to not wear the white face makeup to school. She worried it would be too itchy. I think she made a wise choice. We did paint on the hot pink eyeshadow, dark lipstick, eyeliner & darkened her eyebrows. She looked great once again. I took these as she headed out the door to junior high.

In her drama class recently she had to come up with a "rap" for a public service commercial with 2 classmates. They chose physical fitness as their theme and wrote the following rap which they performed in class. They got a great response from the teacher and their fellow students and, I must admit, from me. I already made her do it for Matthew & Emily when they were here and I'll probably make her do it for David & Jena when they come this weekend. I think it's pretty clever. She makes me laugh and yes... I "jiggle jiggle like that" while I do it. oh well. I guess I better take her advice and get physically fit sometime soon. Enjoy the rap, I'm going to go look for my skinny pants.

Physical Fitness Script: (as you read remember it's a rap, they're not stuttering without purpose)

Wha-wha-wha-what’s happenin’ dude?

Wha-wha-wha-what’s go’in on with you?

Would you show us how?

Well first get away from that cheesecake, and go outside for goodness sake!

But what if your belly is full of jelly?

Well, don’t be lazy!

Just go CRAZY!

or do what’s best and get lots of rest.

Don’t be a lumpy sack!

Do some jumping jacks!

Don’t be a captive of the in-active

I went w/ my friends in my mercedes

and my mom said “Hey, why don’t you walk ladies?”

She said exercise is right cause it makes you tight

Burning calories all through the night.

Soda, chips, candy and all of that...

Just makes you fat!

Jiggle, jiggle like that...

So pass out the veggies.

Hold on the sauce.

That’s how you can achieve weight loss.

Take a chance...

Go and dance!

And that’s how you’ll fit in your skinny pants.

Stay out of Burger King!

Then your wallet will say...

CHA-CHING!

You’ll have $ to buy more clothes

Rows and rows of the coolest clothes!

So if you’re eat’in right...

And keepin’ it tight...

Then you’ll be a witness of Physical Fitness.
