care package! :D

i got a care package from my mom and dad last week :D actually it wasn't a REAL care package, but just a dress that I had bought on sale (they didn't have my size here so i got my brother to pick it up over there), and 3 CDs of ballroom music which my dad burned :P

i'd forgotten how much fun it is to get packages of love in the mail...

dancing...

i was at ballroom today and had the pleasure of chit-chatting with a friendly older gentleman before the dancing began. i was watching M do the guy steps for Waltz and was laughing at him cause he was being silly on the dance floor :D. the older gentlman came over and sat down at my table and began putting on his dance shoes.

him: why aren't you dancing?
me: oh i'm just watching my partner do his steps...
him: is he your partner? or is he your boyfriend? husband? (he asks with a silly grin)
me: (i laugh)... no, he's just a friend...
him: (he continues...) 'cause you know if you like him, he looks like a very nice man and i can tell he fancies you!
me: (another chuckle) ... no we just dance together in class...
him: why not? you know, i've been dancing with my wife for over 10 years -- it keeps us in shape and the time we spend dancing with each other is time i wouldn't trade for anything..
me: ...
him: (chuckle) oh i'm just teasing you...

and just at that moment, M comes over and asks me to practice our Waltz... out of the corner of my eye i spot the older gentleman and his wife dancing -- they remind me of my mom and dad -- and only wish that one day i'll be as happy as they are...
