I had to look at the directions I did last night- and I know they still don't make any sense, but I corrected some of them.

I am on day 35- nothing. I have given up hope by now though. So you may not have to endure the countdown any more.

On to other stuff- I just wanted to share the actions to a current hit song that my niece and I came up with this summer. Everybody should come up with choreography to at least one song- it entertains you and others. Ours is to the number one smash hit- 'Five O'Clock Somewhere' by Alan Jackson and featuring Jimmy Buffet. Yes, yes I know teaching a 6 year-old actions to a drinking song- that's alright though I'm already the black sheep of the family. I'll break it down for you:

We start at the chorus

'Pour me something tall and strong'- start out making a pouring action with one arm (make it dramatic)- then for tall we hold one arm up high with the hand horizontal over our head and the other as low as you can take it- for strong we do the typical muscle man pose with clenched fists and everything- this line goes fast so you have to be on top of your game.

'Make it a Hurricane'- for this we take one arm and raise our hand and stick out our pointer finger and make circles over our heads with the finger pointing towards the sky- warning just one hand for this line!

'Before I go insane'- now this is when it gets tricky- take both arms and raise your hands to the side of your head- point at your head and make circles slightly smaller than you did for the hurricane. Did you get it?

'It's only half past twelve'- for this we again use the reliable pointer finger from one hand and tap it on an invisible watch on the other wrist.

'But I don't care'- for this we do a shrugging motion with our shoulders with our palms of our hands facing up- so you look like a W basically- Sorry it is just too damn complicated to type out

'It's Five O'Clock Somewhere'- this is my niece's favorite part- this is when we put out our hand (just one) to demonstrate five mind you- and clap hands to the beat of the song.

The chorus repeats twice that way but then Jimmy Buffet enters the picture and the chorus is repeated in a tricky manner so you have to be quick and not go to the wrong actions- practice and hey if I see you doing this dance when the song comes on then I will know that you have read these informative directions.


Okay just remembered that I must share the latest dance craze. I also have to exclaim over something I never knew I needed to live until a couple weeks ago. I consider myself to be a girly girl- I do facial masks, and wear make-up, paint my toes and finger nails. I like to think I am up to date on beauty techniques and etc. But now I have something to add to my list of 'where have you been all my life' next to eyebrow waxing and plucking. And it is French manicures. They are wonderful- and for someone like me who has fairly short nails they are a miracle illusion. I love having one so much- my nails- fingers and toes are both oh la la! I have also tried to share the experience with my friends and family- I have already done a friend's twice and tonight I did my mom's nails. I am obsessed, maybe I'll become a manicurist? Haha- I sound so shallow- but oh well!

Not much going on in my life- bored- and I think I have a cold or sinus infection- yuck! But I think that is all I have to say tonight- so practice the actions for the song- and feel free to come up with your own actions!
