Ballet Shoes

I'm at work, a usual night shift... and as I'm incredibly bored I'm watching a movie called Ballet Shoes. It's actually really sweet, I think it's a cute movie and good for passing time, though I can't see it becoming a particular favorite or anything. So here I am, with my Tims... and it dawned on me that I haven't updated this in quite a while, haha.

I'm getting my first ever apartment come January, I'm really happy about it. I mean, everyone has their "meagre beginnings" with these sort of things, and I'll be eating Indian style (no table, lol) for a bit I'm sure... but still, my own apartment! I've already started a mini stockpile of things I'm sure I'll need, from dishes to cleaning supplies. And soon I'll not only be making a grocery list, but also looking into buying a new bed! And a coffeemaker, ofcourse. Lol.

I'm really starting to get comfortable with my job here. The newness has worn off and now I'm completely adjusted to the routine. Though I still get confused with how to fill out the time sheet and what exactly the "shift schedule" is, apparently there's a pattern... but I still haven't found one... maybe it's a figure 8 with a spider leg or two? Lol. Anyway, the clients are all comfortable with me now, and a few have even mentioned that I'm their favorite, which I thought was really sweet and flattering, though honestly, it's because I'm a pushover and they know they can get away with little things when I'm around :$.

This Christmas I wont be seeing my family. I'm actually working Christmas Day, and for pretty much all but a day or two of the actual break. So I've decided that I'll ask for a few days off in January and go down to Snow Lake with my presents for the family then. It'll be a lot less stressful for me and them trying to work out a "pickup/drop off" schedule, though it's going to be sad to be alone on Christmas. But I guess everyone has their first Christmas away from home eventually right? So this one will be mine!

Other than this there's honestly nothing new, I'm working pretty much constantly because we're so short staffed, but I like the paychecks and the overtime, lol. And as soon as I get the slightest chance I'm going to Winnipeg. There's a tattoo, an actual ring for my nose rather than a stud, and a jacket waiting for me! Not to mention a few good-looking fellas that I'm sure I'll bump into... accidently of course ;).

I love you guys, and hope that you're not stressing to death with final papers and preps for your finals!

Dance shoes are one of the most important pieces of 'equipment' for your dancing. Without them, you wouldn't be able to perform your moves as gracefully and easily as you would like in front of an audience. Capezio
has a large selection of dance shoes to complement almost any outfit you have chosen for your performance or practice.

um ... so thats the greatest spam adverisemenet/comment I'v eever seen (see above). but I must say, capezio shoes are the best. so are capezio bodysuits. and dance bags. anyways.

ballet shoes used to be (maybe stillis after The Irrestistable Revolution) my favourite book. i had no idea it was made into a movie. then again, maybe its not the same one ... who knows.

you are more than welcome at my house during christmas day (goodness knows there's gonna be hundreds of us anyways). i realize your'e working, but they can't keep you much more than 12 hours can they?!? anyways, i'm so excited for the break. snow! woohoo!

anyways, i always love it when there is some new post or other letting me know whats happening in your life sicne I never seem to get those emails I'm promised (hint, hint) :) glad to hear you're enjoying life. thats important i think. anywho, im getting lame so i shall wander off somewhere else. love you.

Ballet scams are amazing! Jk, I agree, how stupid is that thing? I didn't read the rest of your comment, just so you know, lol.
