I will be the first to tell you that I have zero rhythm!!! Chris, on the other hand, is a great dancer. At 46, he can still break dance – it is very impressive!!! (one day maybe he will make a video!!!)
This past Saturday Jordan went to his first dance!
The week leading up to the dance Chris wanted to make sure that Jordan knew how to dance.
There was a demo from Chris –
No, not like that.
Nope, not that either.
Close but no!!
Chris demoed the snap and sway!! I’m pretty sure that was from the 80s or ??????? I told him that kids don’t dance like that now.
As it turns out the big thing at dances now is –
music.
I guess Skrillex is a big deal?!
So, there is really no need to learn to dance – just jump and swing around to the “beat.”
Just dance and have fun!!!
Do you like to dance? What type of music do you like to dance to (or listen to)?
Today a did a dancing inspired move for my 44. (Relax – I didn’t actually dance – that would be scary!!!) I did a plie to a releve – sounds fancy, huh?

This was actually a nice 44 – I kept a slow steady pace through the motions and really enjoyed it.
I went old-school today for my workout – The Firm – Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn. I have always been a fan of the The Firm workouts and this one is great – 50+ minutes of toning (fairly light weights), plyo moves and cardio segments.
Filters are useful for keeping the “bad” stuff out!!! Sometimes I forget to use the filter that controls things I say or even things that I write.
Yesterday in my post about writing like you talk one of the comments was to the effect that in writing it is easier to go back and edit things. So very true – unless for some reason you don’t. A lot of times when I’m telling Chris something about my day, I add a lot of thoughts that I didn’t really say out-loud but I sure did think them!!!! Other times, I slip and say something that if I had taken a few seconds to think through would have never come out.
When I comment on blogs, I try to really think about what I write. My goal is never to be negative or snarky on someone else’s blog.
The other night I totally blew it!!! I wrote something on impulse (no filter), clicked publish (or whatever the button is) and immediately regretted it. The sad thing is, you can’t delete a comment on someone else’s site. (I did go back and type a reply saying that I was sorry and should have never left the comment I did but still…..)
I love the little reminder about thinking!!! I try to always keep it in mind especially when I comment on other blogs because I really believe that everyone is entitled to write whatever they feel/believe on their site and it is not my place to judge or be rude.
Have you ever left a comment and then immediately regretted it?
Happy Fun Friday!!! I’m off to replace my filter!!!
music.
