Better When I’m Dancing

IMG_1748You guys – I wanted this post to have You Tube videos embedded amidst my brilliant words(so that you could easily view these things I’m about to tell you about), but in order to do so this blog hosting thing was going to make me pay $79. Grrr. So, here’s a link to the first video: BETTER WHEN I’M DANCING – GO WATCH IT. And then DANCE, cause it’s better when you’re dancing.

Alright, now that we’ve got that out of the way – I watched 2 movies this past weekend. Per the above, one was THE PEANUTS MOVIE. Goodness Charlie Brown, you do get what it’s like to feel down. That dancing song though – I adore it.

The other movie I watched, SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, just may be my new favorite. Per usual, I’m a bit late to the game as it came out in 2012. It has just the BEST DANCE SCENE EVER (please watch till atleast the 49th second). It also does such a good job of empathetically depicting mental illness and portraying the crazy that so many of our families are(with or without mental illness) and the depth of love we have for each other even though there’s all that crazy to work through.  And did I mention THE DANCING?

I don’t know the people in the dancing photos. I did take them though! (Whilst in Canada a few months ago at a concert).  I like them.

In other seasonal news, it’s also the time of year when I stock my summer trunk. In the spirit of spontaneity, during the Seattle sunshine months I keep the trunk of my car stocked with summer things – you never know when you’re going to need folding chairs, tennis rackets or an inflatable boat! Really, you never know – and you don’t want to be caught unpreprared should the moment strike and all you want to do is watch the sunset while perched in your inflatable boat.

Yesterday I was in the toy store looking for a kite (because yesterday was a perfect day to fly a kite). While we were shopping it began to rain and our dreams of flying a kite slowly washed away, but you know what?? I bought 2 kites anyways and put them in my trunk!  Someday very soon, those little kites are going to come in handy and make me very happy.
