June 13, 2008--Ballet stuff

I ordered some ballet stuff yesterday online, since I'm going to be teaching a class at co-op this fall and I needed to be prepared. I measured myself to figure out what size of leotard to order, using their guide in the back. I took the typical bust, waist, and hip measurements and compared them to the chart. It said my bust is size medium, my hips are size small, and my waist is size extra large! Yikes! I ordered a medium, figuring it'll do.

After I had placed my order (leotard, tights, ballet slippers for me and for Rachel, and some dance music) Abby told me that she needed some dance shoes, too, because "her ballet slippers were growing out of her."

As we were going to bed last night, we found that we had missed some calls on our call phone, and that Erick's brother and his fiancee were in Terre Haute with a bad tire. They were on their way to St. Louis to get one of her bridesmaids for her wedding this next week. (This is brother of Erick's that's marrying my brother's sister's wife.) They ended up coming down and staying the night with us. The kids were surprised in the morning to see them here. Erick helped his brother get his tire fixed and they went on their way a few hours ago. We'll be going up there next Friday for their wedding.
