Family Phone Calls This Week

Me: Will it be weird if I go?
Mom: Weird? Why in the world would it be weird? Unless you MAKE it weird...

---------

Cousin: You mean you knew this the whole time we were talking yesterday, and you kept it to yourself?!
Me: Yeah, I just didn’t really think it was my place to--
Cousin: Hot damn! I can’t believe that.
Me: Ok, well, I don’t know if my mom has told your mom yet.
Cousin: Well, I’m pretty sure he knew that cat was out of the bag when he told me.

---------

Mom: [I can’t tell whether she’s laughing or crying] Now, you need to keep this to yourself, but it's kind of one of those Friday the 13th deals. Your dad asked whose birthday it was, and I said, “I think it’s one of the twins’.”
Me: I can’t make that promise.Will it be weird if I go?

Great Moments in My-My-My-My-My Boogie Shoes History

In reverse chronological order:

  • Billy and Lauren's superfun jazz dance this week. This doesn't necessarily showcase the amazing technical skills that these two actually have, but I love it so so much. My favorite part is probably the easiest part of the whole routine, but I must have rewound it 8 times Wednesday night alone. At -1:25.



  • All of Sports Night comes back to the office drunk after getting thrown out of a bar. Makes me nostalgic for the career that no one actually has. Skip to about 8 minutes in.


  • Making out with a stranger on the dance floor at a Shreveport club called The Reactor while K.C. and the Sunshine Band played LIVE. I have no video of this, but I can tell you that I was wearing a tshirt *tucked in* to plaid shorts, with matching socks and Dexters. Ah, Baylor days--you can see why I was so irresistible to that boy...
