Toe Shoes

This is what I bought today:

1.  black leotard
2.  tights
3.  ballet slippers

I bought these today because I want to start taking ballet lessons again so that maybe I can realize my dream of wearing toe shoes.  Which is a dream I had when I was fourteen.  But then I went to high school and got busy.  And also I had weak ankles.  So I eventually abandoned the dance lessons and concentrated on having crushes on unattainable boys and wrecking my dad's VW every now and then instead.

Seriously, I am an old lady now who does NOT look so very cute in that black leotard thing I bought.  But ballet lessons is on my To Do list--the one I drew up when I was on that cruise in France with my parents a few years ago where it occurred to me that if I wanted to do anything physical, I ought to get busy while my pins were still good enough to hold me upright.  Hence the walk across England.  And the marathon.  Now ballet lessons.

Who knows?  I might only last a few lessons.  But at least I'm gonna try.
