Bill and I have been throwing around the idea of taking dance lessons before Joseph and Julie’s wedding in August. I may be athletic, but I’m not the world’s best dancer. One of my friend’s describes me as “dancing with joy in my heart,” That’s her way of saying, “she has a good personality!” My distance running allows me to hang on the dance floor the entire night, but at times I’m afraid I might look just a little like Elaine from Seinfeld. Anyone want to volunteer to give us lessons?
Speaking of dancing, I saw this video and decided that Joseph and I definitely need some practice to pull off this mother/son dance (it gets fun at 1:14). Last night I told my friend about this video, and she said that when she was planning her wedding, her future-mother-in-law told her the MIL’s job is to keep her mouth shut and wear brown. Alrighty then, I’m off the hook from practicing these dance moves!
Wednesday brought ice to our area, but by 2 PM the temperature was starting to climb high enough for it to melt. I captured a picture of this ice grid as it pulled away from the chair back just seconds before it fell to the deck. Pretty cool!
I have something very cool to share! If you remember, Laura wrote Running For Taylor as a guest post for me back in December. She shared her adventures about running the Thunder Road Half Marathon blind-folded to honor her sister Taylor and raise attention about Batten Disease, a disease that unfortunately she knows all too well (Laura’s sister has suffered from the disease since she was seven years old). Laura’s story is shared in the March issue of Runner’s World on page 20. You can bet I cut out that page and hung it up for my clients to see.
And finally, I recently joined Instagram. So if you feel you don’t get enough pictures on my blog, you can check it out to see what else I’m up to!
- Questions:
- Are you a good dancer?
- Have you ever taken dance lessns?

I could never pull that off without a lot of practice and a miracle or two, or I would fall flat on my face!
How awesome that Laura’s story got picked up by Runner’s World! Ha ha ha, love the advice for future MILs. With two girls, I’ll get to express plenty of opinions as mother of the bride someday. Some day in the very, very distant future!!

I know! I was so happy when I read on Laura’s blog that they’d covered it.
Hahaha!!! Am I a good dancer?? That is an emphatic NO. I’m an excellent chair dancer, but if I have to move my feet and hands together, forget about it! LOL
Maybe you AND the other mom should do a choreographed mom dance! That would be epic! I’ve never seen one of those on YouTube.

HaHa! That would be great!
Thank you so much for sharing the Runner’s World clip, Debbie! I was honored to write a guest post for your blog, and I can’t thank you enough for helping us spread the word about Taylor’s story and our fight against Batten disease and other rare diseases.

My pleasure!
Ha! I’m also in the March issue of Runner’s World, on page 30!
I love, love, love that video (though I’m glad my son didn’t want a similar type dance when he got married a coupe years ago!).
Being the mother of the groom is pretty simple (if you don’t have to dance). I didn’t wear brown though 🙂

It was you! I tried and tried to remember who else had been mentioned in Runner’s World (I’m sure I saw it on your blog), but couldn’t so I finally decided that I had dreamt it! We’re heading off to a race now, but I’ll check it out when we get home.
We took dance lesson before our wedding! My parents took lessons too. We really enjoyed it… I can’t wait for you to blog about dance lessons!

That’s cool! Shhhh, don’t tell Bill, but I’m giving him dance lessons for his birthday!
Good luck on your dancing lessons! Barry and his mom danced to “Oh What A Night” at our wedding and the Hokie Bird joined in. That’s awesome that Laura’s story made this month’s issue of Runner’s World!
