happy new year love.

i spent most of the morning like this: awake, but unwilling to get up. a new year opened among friends, and drawn in with much shouting and laughter, confetti and balloons. a new year bringing new hopes and fears and second chances.

and after the celebration ended, the night ended with heart to heart conversations and piano softly speaking and guitar whispering back.

So guess what?

Remember how my old studio does the nutcracker every year? And remember how I always wanted to be the ballerina doll in the party scene? Oh you don't remember that? Well now you know.

Anyways, this year my company is doing a ballet number in our Christmas show (which is mostly just a combo show, with the companies showing off for the combo moms and bragging about how good their cute little combo kids can become if they stay in combo class and keep paying a million dollars for one hour a week), and guess what dance it happens to be? That's right, the doll scene from the Nutcracker. And guess what else? Yep that's right! Dani gets to be the ballerina doll! I'm so excited!
