First off I have to share with you a picture of my new favorite spot in the house. The same exact spot I now sit to compose what I hope will at least be a smirk inducing blog.

| so cute, right. |
Ok Sleeping Beauty. Basically she has my dream life. (Ha, that's like an almost pun) Allow me to show you with visual aids. First, she gets way more nick names than any other Disney Princess. Sleeping Beauty a.k.a. Aurora a.k.a Briar Rose...Nicknames = swag.
She grows up in a woodland forest surrounded by her fairy godmothers (*PLURAL..) and all the little furry woodland creatures. We share a common love for squirrels.

| (inside joke) |
She meets/dances/falls in love with Prince Charming (a.k.a. Phillip) on her birthday.

| a handsome stranger asks you to dance |
 |
| always answer yes |
 |
| positive choices |
I have this theory about dancing that I basically stole from Pride and Prejudice.
Elizabeth Bennet: I wonder who first discovered the power of poetry in driving away love?
Mr. Darcy: I thought that poetry was the food of love.
Elizabeth Bennet: Of a fine stout love, it may. But if it is only a vague inclination I'm convinced one poor sonnet will kill it stone dead.
Mr. Darcy: So what do you recommend to encourage affection?
Elizabeth Bennet: Dancing. Even if one's partner is barely tolerable.
The incredible minds behind White Christmas must have been onto me because they put a whole song and dance number about it in their movie. I am really starting to believe the best things really do happen while you dance.

| Fun Fact: Danny Kaye asked the wardrobe dept to match his shoes to his pants so all focus would be on the dancers movement and not distracted by his feet. What a true artist. His choice became a fashion icon of the era. |
Anyway back to Sleeping Beauty. So on her birthday her fairy godmothers (*Cinderella only got stinkin' one) make her a magic dress, cook her a cool big cake and tell her she's a princess. Her fairy godmothers take her to the castle to meet all her new subjects and somewhere between receiving her crown and her grand entrance she gets distracted by a cool green light. "Oooh, Look! Something shiny!" The cool green light leads her up this sweet castle-y wind-y staircase to her very own craft room with a spinning wheel....!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which she proceeds to touch in reverence and pass out from sheer excitement/crafting bliss.

| oh.my.gawd... |
 |
| the peaceful sleep of a person who gets everything they freaking want |
And what else?? She's awakened from her bliss-sleep by none other than her mystery man smooching her face off.
Oh, and you want to know what lover boy was doing while she was sleeping?
 |
| HE WAS FIGHTING A DRAGON!!! |
 |
| seriously |
After wiping the sleep from her eyes she is then ushered into a huge party with all her friends, I'm pretty sure it's her engagement party, and dances in the magic dress with her handsome man on clouds. CLOUDS.

So lets recap: she meets/dances/falls in love with a handsome stranger in the woods, gets a magic dress, a cake, finds out she's a princess, gets a spinning wheel, a nice nap, a huge party and dances AGAIN with handsome man in magic dress on magic love clouds on her birthday. Best.Birthday.Ever!!
