done and done.

the season has come to a close.

{this phrase might be foreign to those outside of the ballet word}

i am officially as free as a bird.

my afternoons and evenings won't consist of five hour rehearsals.

{at least for a few months}

it's time to celebrate.

{picture source}

here are the first five things on my "to do" list now that dance is over:

1. hit the spa, duh.

as in get a pedicure to remove my calluses and cover my bruised toenails,

and paint my fingernails a funky-bright color.

{i've been dying to do these both for a couple of weeks now}

2. spend my evenings with lovebird.

this never happens, and i mean never.

i plan on cooking lots of dinners so we can eat 

at a normal hour instead of at 10:00.

cuddle on the couch, watch movies and eat gelato.

and get planning our little trip that is coming up oh-so-soon. 

3. soak up some vitamin d.

simply sit by our pool, relax, drink lemonade and read a book not related to school.

all, of course, while getting a healthy dose of the sun.

i repeat: healthy.

{i've decided getting a nice golden tan is officially lame and stupid.}

4. study for finals.

i realize this isn't so fun...

however, i'm excited to see what school is like without having to stress

and juggle homework and studying around 40 hours of dance each week. 

{not to mention, teaching piano and my other little job.}

5. clean our little home.

you'd think a tornado had come and gone through our little place.

{rather a tornado of busyness, school, stress and lack of extra time.} 

i'm a clean freak... and it's driving me crazy.

but now, with a little spare time i've already fantasized about being cinderella.

let's face it: i enjoy cleaning.

and i enjoy nothing more than the sight of a clean home.

well, there you have it.

there's my recipe to a celebration at the moment.

i'm looking forward to catching up on all the fun things
that i've missed on your lovely blogs while i've been busy performing.

{i'll post pictures of the show soon- i promise}
