OK. I'll get "write" to the point! (hehe)
This blog post will have two topics. One, my friend Abby. The other, tap shoes! {Yes, I said tap shoes}
Abby:
Abby, kindly mentioned in several earlier posts, like "Cinderella" and "sports", is in the Nutcracker this year, which I told you in an earlier post. I think "sports". But, what I didn't tell you was that she is going to be in Don Quixote as well! Isn't that awesome??? I know!!!!
Well, sorry Abby, that's all in your part. But, hey! Your on my blog! yippee!
Tap shoes:
So, as I posted earlier (Below post) me and my Momma are in a dance class together. Well, we need(ed) tap shoes. Eleanore, (our dance teacher) brought in a pair of tap shoes and character shoes for us, as a result, the tap shoes fit us with thick socks, the character shoes are to big. I am to nervous in the heeled tap shoes, (she only gave us one pair of tap and one pair of character shoes in case I didn't make that CLEAR!) so now my Mom gets the tap shoes. We were down near, uh, a Trader Joes and other places and there is a Good Will down there, so we decided to stop in and see if they had any tap shoes. we waltz, (kinda jogged) into the store and headed down to the shoe department we looked for a sec, then BAM! TAP SHOES! {Insert angel singing here} I tried it on, they FIT ME! YIPERS! OK, a catcher here though, they are $14.99, which we would be willing to pay... if they had the insoles.. Yeah, no insoles! So, we started walking up to the counter saying if they could take it down to $10.00 we would buy them. The lady at the checkout said she'd ask, yes! 30% off equals to, {drumroll} $10.46 or so! OH MY WORD! OUR PRICE!!!! How funny? So, now I have cute tap shoes that I just need to buy insoles for, before next Monday! HURRAY!
Well, signing off. For now.
Talk to you after Thanksgiving! (Or, if I find something worth-while to post about sooner, I will!)

Dance Classes!!!!!!
Monday, one of my favorite days of the week now. Why? Allow me to explain....
Mom used to take zumba with, whilst there she made a friend, that friend told my mommy about a dance class for Momma. Momma said it would be cool to find one where me and her could to together, and we can! To the same one! Our first one was last Monday, and it was SO MUCH FUN!
The first hour is ballet, (LOVE IT!) then the second is tap, (LOVE IT!) I love doing ballet, it's so much darn fun! We were doing things, like, uh, it's hard to explain, but I'll try! Here goes!
Ballet- Slide right heel in front of left foot near toes, jump up and switch feet. (make sense, you ballet peoples???) Another was again sliding the feet like explained above, only you turn on one foot, repeat, then on that second turn keep turning for a second turn, make sense?? I'll hopefully maybe try to post a video of it, OK? Another ballet thing was leaping, only you have to have your arms and legs opposite. We, (as in me and Momma) were thinking you took 3 steps then leaped, it was working for the first time but not the repeats, then we figured out it was walk 2 steps and THEN leap on 3rd.... ah.... Makes more sense, ain't it?? I am so not limber! It's hard to do some of the stretches, so I am stretching every day now!
Tap- I don't remember alot of the tap, sorry! Maybe someday, (don't count on it) I'll post a video of all the dances on here! So, please be praying that I actually will do that, I mean the videos.
Now, the lady, (the teacher of the ballet) is in her 80's a former rockette.... Yes, she's still teaching ballet! I think it's amazing! All the ladies there are very nice. I really like this one lady Liz, she was helping us, like in tap she was breaking down the dance steps to make it more, understandable! For the end 2 dances we sat out because it was a routine they had practiced, (we hadn't known that when we decided we were going to sit out, the teacher had told us to because that was enough learning for one night she said!) They were amazing! Maybe someday I'll video tape that also.. One was like a USA themed dance, Liz, she's pregnant, and she was doing cartwheels and splits and everything! It was amazing!!! They guys had fake guns they were twirling and things, and the other girls had batons, and then they did like can-can dancer moves, you know, lining up and kicking??? Yeah! It was really cool and we had an awesome time together! YAY FOR MONDAYS! I'm always like, "I want it to be Monday!" Lately I've been doing that.... haha!

GOTY 2012!!!! EEEP!
For any of those of you who were curious, (And those of you who weren't. Ahem.) GOTY stands for Girl Of The Year. And 2012 stands for the year, 2012. (Duh!)
Anyways. I found out information about AG'S GOTY in 2012. (American Girls Girl Of the Year)
Her code name is Velma, and (I think) her real name is Cassey Jones, she is a gymnast who gets in an accident and is put in to a wheel chair, I think temporarily. They are in the makings of making a movie of her. ;) Thanks to Google and the AGFMB, (American Girl Fan Message Board, not actual AG website) for the info!
