The dance recital
Shelly had her dance recital..a few weeks ago actually now i guess...and it was...an adventure let' say. I have some pics, but frankly, am at work right now and also to lazy to upload them, but they didn't turn out well in any event. Just picture a 6 year old girl in a striped jail outfit and cap dancing to 'jailhouse rock ' by elvis.
The big thing was she went up on stage and danced. There were probably 300 or so people in the chelsea auditorium and I was worried she'd get stage fright, but she went up there and carried on like a trooper..it was awkward, discombobulated and clumsy, but so was every other routine i saw, so i was very proud!
Same time, i'm freakin' done with dance. That thing was a job to get to the recital. I made the mistake of getting shelly dressed BEFORE we left, which, sure as shat...she tore her nylons on the way to the recital. Well, i think she snagged them, then picked at em' till there was a hole the size of an orange over her knee. So, i of course was torked. This happened 50 minutes before the show started and I only had time to scour chelsea for new nylons..i tore through pamida...the drug store..a dance store, which of course was closed for some fn' reason...a grocery store looking for a pair of little girls black nylons...nothing. Finally, in my darkest hour i pull into a cvs as my last resort and found the last pair of 10-12 year old black nylons..SCORE!
So i rip out of the drugstore and get back to the auditorium with about 10 minutes to spare...sweating my balls off and frankly kinda strung out. When i get back there i hear Alicia, who had been with shelly and trying to help her fix the nylons was getting an earful from the dance teacher about the holes in them.."what are you gonna do? you have to get more? we only have 15 minutes? how can you fix it??!!" Seriously..these people are nuts there.
Show was 2 hours of extreme boredom and 2 minutes of entertainment when shelly danced. I needed a severe break from the hundreds of little girls dressed up as hookers and wearing makeup like transexual clown hookers. it was a weird day.
What else..Oh, i've been building a retaining wall around my deck this summer..almost done..been some work, but saved a ton of money doing it myself..it's gonna look sharp. I'm excited to plant some stuff in it..which also is the most rainbow thing i'll ever say on this blog outside of a dancing with the stars running diary.
i'll try to get some pics up of all this....i'm just so lazy and it's so nice being lazy.
