Your continued emasculation of him is quite impressive

That was a message I got from Zach yesterday when I told him that The Mr is taking me to see The Moscow Ballet's Nutcracker! I'm as giddy as a school girl because:

(1) I have never seen a ballet live.
(2) My secret dream is to be a dancer.
(3) Its one of my 101 in 1001 items.

Some of my favorite movies are: Flashdance (this really sealed the whole 'I want to be dancer' dream when I was a little girl), Centre Stage, Step Up... anything with dance. Even You Got Served (mostly because that is a brilliant catchphrase).

This may lead you to believe that I can dance. I can't. My mom wouldn't sign me up for ballet when I was little and I'm still bitter. Although perhaps my mother saved me from a life of bulimia, anorexia and hammertoes. I'm still bitter.

The Nutcracker is a nice entry into the wonderful world of ballet. :)

I haven't been in YEARS, and I really wasn't all that into it, but I hope you enjoy!
