she is SO right...

over at katie i am, she had this post today. wow... that is me for the last 2½ weeks to the T. like exactly. i hate it. i'm utterly disgusted with myself when i'm this way. it's sad, gross, obnoxious and i can't stop it when i want to. which is, by the way, now. five minutes ago. last week. i've made, what i think, are a couple of (hopefully) forgivable mistakes (slight dramatics and a bit of over-reacting). because even if he and i don't work out as a couple, he's still a really cool person and i've had nothing but fun with him. plus... if he still wants, i still want a freaking dance partner and the couple things i've showed him, he's picked up better than anyone i've seen so far. (hmm, possibly bad grammar. whateves, can't care at the moment.) anyway... i'm literally champing at the bit to be patient and give him his "space". not that he asked for it, in so many words, but it's obvious he wants it.

so, on with life. i'm still making my plans. still doing my thing. still going out and seeing my friends (for the record, the friend who introduced us, mine first). turns out the guy who introduced us, he's my new bff. that's right, i said BFF. what are you gonna do about it? nothing, that's right. none of my other bffs are losing their place. they're still my bffs too. he's just the newest one. it's like new shoes. you want to wear them all the time at first. well, i want to hang out with him all the time. i settle for friday nights and some saturday nights. :)

tonight. monkey and i are taking barbie out for her birthday dinner. i'm very excited for it. :D

update: barbie got called into work tonight. hmph. no birthday dinner tonight. SHOESANDSOCKS!

*squee!*

a box came for me today.


guess where it was from.

guess what was in it.


needless to say, i'm ecstatic. they took so long, and now they're finally here. i love them.

(yes, i'm sleeping with them tonight. just like the kids do.)

ma shoes!

they're coming. FINALLY! i was lucky enough to win a $100 gift certificate to dancesavvy.com this spring. it took me close to two weeks to decide what i wanted. i hadn't really thought i was in the market for shoes at the time. ballroom shoes being rather expensive, i've been trying to actually wear mine out first.

these shoes? these shoes are a special yummy summer treat. hopefully in time for showcase!
i figured that at some point, i would own red dance shoes. the free-ness of them just made it happen that much faster.

these babies however, i know i would have never bought them on my own. these are my super awesome special yummy FREE shoes. these are what make me want to sing maestro c. from dancesavvy's praise.

i can't wait for them to arrive. believe me, you'll know when they do. there will be photos!
