Ballet, Dream and Glee!

[switch842]

I have found a new studio for ballet lessons! Yay! This makes me happy. There are a few things that need to be worked out before I can know for certain if I can actually sign up for class, but the biggest hurdle is out of the way. The class is on Fridays at noon, which is normally right in the middle of my work day (10-2), but work is OK with me altering my schedule slightly once a week. The next hurdle is someone to watch Martouf. The center does offer babysitting, so I just need to make a call and get all the specific questions answered about that. I hope we can make it work. I really need to get back to class...

Had a weird dream that hubby took me on a Disney Cruise. But, it was like an adult only cruise, so it wasn't all cartoony. And there were 7 ships leaving port at the same time and it was really cool to see! One ship had all the Winnie the Pooh characters carved into it, one was like a pirate ship. And there was this MASSIVE wake from all the ships that was crashing against the shore and was also cool to see. So, yeah. That was random...

I haz a theory about Glee. Well, one aspect of Glee that seems to have everyone up in arms: Kurt's wardrobe. We Gleeks know that Glee is far from perfect, but the fact that this middle class kid has a wardrobe of couture sweaters (and drives an Escalade) is a little mind-boggling. I have come up with a theory as to how/why. Kurt's mother passed away when he was very young. Six or so, I think. But the show has never mentioned how she died. What if she passed away in some tragic drunk driving accident with a CEO worth billions or surgery gone wrong and so the Hummel family received some sort of massive settlement worth millions? Most of it, Burt put away for Kurt's future. Some of it was used to pay off their house. But, since Burt is from a blue collar background, he doesn't really need/want the money, so he continues to work at the garage and Kurt gets a large monthly/weekly allowance that allows him to buy the clothes he wants. What do we think? Yes? No? Completely insane? Not sure where I'm going with that, but there you have it...

YAY!! I'm so happy for you!! Hope it all works out for Martouf as well!!

Ohhh, neat dream. I wish I had cool dreams that I remembered like that...

*HUGS*

Thanks! I'd like to be able to start getting Martouf interacting with other children. He hasn't done much of that yet and I'm worried about him becoming too spoiled....

((HUGS))

Hmmm, I think if Kurt had a stash of money somewhere, he would have dipped into it to get enrolled at Dalton, instead of allowing Burt to use his honeymoon fund to pay for the tuition. It's possible that if his mother had a life insurance policy and some of the money was in trust for Kurt, that there be a condition that the funds are drip-fed. That might be enough to pay for the flash clothes but not a private school. *ponders*

It's an odd theory, I know. But I wanted to make sense of it and, well, that's what I got..... *shrugs*

I agree, it needs some sort of explanation. If they are that short of money... how did he get those clothes? Maybe he's very good at op-shopping (that's what we call rummaging in 2nd hand clothing stores). Though I can't see Kurt buying used, LOL.

Congrats on the ballet! I wish I could afford to take dance classes!

And interesting theory on Kurt. I don't know about the whole millionaire thing, but she could have had a decent life insurance policy set up. Or if the death was a accidental one, there could have been a sizable insurance pay out, whether the at-fault party was rich or not.

It might have been enough to pay off the house and get Kurt some cool threads, but not enough for tuition.

Yeah, the tuition angle is where it kind of falls apart a little bit. Cos there would need to be some sort of long-term or continual payout to keep Kurt in a new wardrobe each season, but still not be enough to cover the cost of school. So, yeah.....

I know my cousin got an annual payout from his fathers life insurance, it may be something like that.

Could be.... So, then they could not have enough to cover his initial enrollment, but perhaps then start saving it for next year? If he'd need it... Hmm....
