So! The FIRST BIG CONCERT!

The pup has her FIRST BIG CONCERT on the BIG HIGH SCHOOL STAGE tonight. Oh the EXCITEMENT around here! She told me this morning that she needed to wear a nice skirt, I told her ok, already knowing that gramma and The Girl had picked out a christmas outfit for her, and were going to gift it to her early so she could wear it tonight.

Ah – but she needed SHOES! I didn’t see the outfit until lunchtime, and I’m so glad I waited, because I was able to score the PERFECT SHOES – which is very important, you know!

I raced to payless, and told the lady I needed dress shoes – black or pink or something. And she said. “oh! what size?” and I said 1 and she said “I have ONE MORE PAIR! here!” And low and behold – it was a pair of PINK BARBIE FLATS with FLOWERS on them! That match the darker accents and the jewels PERFECTLY!

AND? they were ON SALE! for NINE BUCKS!

Needless to say – I decided to forgoe the more practical matching everything black shoes, and got the pink. She’ll wear them with everything ANYWAY so it’s all good.

So she came home, and sat down RIGHT NEXT to where the outfit was sitting waiting for her to get home and see it, and she talks and tells me about her day and all sorts of things, and then! Then! she saw it, and her eyes got BIG “WHOSE IS THIS??? WHO WHO OH MOMMA LOOK AT THOSE SHOES!”

OH yeah. New clothes ROCK. And it didn’t stop there – she put the shoes on RIGHT away, and then it was even more oohs and aahs “The jewels! and the pink! and the pretty sparklies! and the JEWELS! and they match the SHOES! Oh MOMMA!”

She’s a pretty lucky pup, that one.

Then – total cuteness overload “OH! and mom? we’re not supposed to wave at you from stage? So I’ll be TOTALLY thinking of waving at you when you wave at me, kay? Kay. Oh lookit my OUTFIT!”

Oh yeah. Smiles all around.
