I had a thought.

Today in my ballet class we were doing grand battements (or in English, kicks). My teacher stressed that it didn't matter how high you went, just that your technique was perfect. 

I thought, "Yeah, okay... I'll have the highest kicks."

And so I did the combination... A lot less perfectly than I thought I would..

Then thought, "Back in the day I would have killed this."

Not a second later I thought, "Oh no.. I have glory days."

It's official I am past my glory days and can use the phrase "In my glory days..." whenever I please.

While we're on the subject.. Here's a tribute to my glory days:

 

Growing Up

Some days I really feel like I'm becoming a grown up. Today has been one of those days.

All because:

1. My camera hasn't been uploading my pictures onto my computer, so today I called tech support. Which may not seem like a big thing but it's really big for me.

2. I cleaned the whole apartment. I'm serious: I did the dishes, swept the floors, swiffered the floors, cleaned the mirror, washed the bathtub, and wiped down the counters and sinks.

3. Probably the biggest thing of all: I bought one of these today..

That's right, a toilet bowl cleaner. I couldn't clean the toilet today cause I didn't have one of those. So I went to Walmart and now my toilet is sparkling. 

I don't really know what is more grown up than spending your money on a toilet bowl cleaner voluntarily. I guess it had to happen sometime.
