Tonight is the first night of my Fox Trot lessons. I'm excited to improve in my smooth dances. I usually gravitate towards the Latin dances so I'm glad JD asked me to work on a smooth dance with him. I bought new ballroom shoes today. They are strappy gold metallic. I love them!

Lauren has her sights set on Alex and she wants me to help her "get him." I don't know what to say. I know that Alex is into her but he won't date her because she's Josh's sister and he thinks she's too young. So do I encourage Lauren? I don't want her to have her heart broken. But what if Alex might change his mind? I should just stay out of it as much as possible. Lauren is determined to win him so I should just let her try, right?

Well, good news for me. Aunt Lu told my mother that she can stay at the house temporarily but that she has to get her own place if she's going to live in Pennsylvania. That means my room stays my room. No need to worry about losing my view. :)
