The Footloose Dance video

I’m really hoping that Ben the web genius here at the studio can pull our “Footloose” dance practice video off of my MacBook because Keith erased it my memory card. Thanks Keith. I’m going to go ahead and call dance practice a success. I got so sweaty I had to put on a hat because when my hair gets wet or sweaty it goes all wavy and I hate it. So  I put on my brown hat and made a video of dance practice because it was 80’s night and we wanted to do Footloose in front of the crowd. Everything was fine with the video until Keith ruined it (and made it funny all at the same time).  He was too busy working to video tape dance practice, so I set the camera in between parts of a lamp in my living room. Casey and I were doing our dance just fine until Keith came in to watch us. He stood right in front of the camera wearing some dumb looking wig and totally blocked our freestyle footloose interpretation from being on the video. In natural “Shanon-ness,” I pitched a fit. It was awful. I SCREAMED at him to stop blocking our video. Stupid. But that was the funniest part of it.

We did do the dance that night and I choose to believe that it was a hit. I even seem to remember Casey picking me up at one point. Almost life we got Footloose confused with Dirty Dancing and the part where Johnny lifts Baby for the big finale. I got dropped. Hard on my butt dropped. And somehow I managed to get a giant bruise on my leg that looks like I got hit with a hammer. So totally attractive as I walk around in sweatshorts with a ginormous bruise on my right leg.

Which car is hotter…the Nissan Altima COUPE or the 350Z? I’ve only got 19,000 more miles on my warranty, so I’m starting to think about what I want to get next. I love the 350Z, but the Altima is much more practical. Especially with people around me having kids and me being such an amazing babysitter. I guess that makes more sense. And it is cheaper. Who knows. I’ve got plenty of time to figure it out, but for now I can take a poll of which would I be hotter in…350Z or Altima Coupe?

I went to the lake for the lake party on Saturday and had a good time. My boat didn’t even completely break down. It didn’t want to start when I’d kill it to let skiers back on, but once it did start it kept running. I didn’t have to break out the fire extinguisher or anything. I think my dad said that something must be wrong with the carburetor. Poor boat. It’s such a love hate relationship I have with that thing. I love it when it runs and hate it when it doesn’t. I’m sort of a fair-weather fan and give up on it when times are hard. Maybe the boat would run better and more often if I was loyal to it all the time Maybe I’ll give that a shot.

I have to find out what’s up with my Footloose video. In the meantime, go to YouTube and search Babies on a Plane for the song that I wrote and performed with J-Si and the video that Andrew produced to go along with it. It made me laugh and I’m hoping it will a few other people, too.
