Just Dance

There are a few songs in the world that I just can’t sit still to.  One of them is “Joy to the World” by Three Dog Night.  I highly recommend it as your wake-up alarm. 

The other is “Footloose” from the movie Footloose.

After finishing the movie Pocahontas with my host sisters, we began to search through my music collection to find any and all Spanish songs I had—turns out I have “Colores Del Viento” and oh was that a hit.  But then the shuffle button was hit, bringing about a whole new world of music—all of which I had to show them how I would dance to them.

Shaking my hair in their faces was a great hit when The Ramones came on, as was hitting the lights and waving my headlamp around when Ellie Goulding made her entrance.  I waltzed around the room with my youngest host sister’s feet on mine to Sleeping Beauty’s “Once Upon a Dream.”  But I can safely say that the best was “Footloose.” 

I’d been working so hard, punching my hypothetical card.  Usually less than eight hours for work—but don’t tell me what a gal. I had this feeling that time was just holding me down. I couldn’t hold in the feeling or else I’d tear up the town. So I cut loose, footloose, and kicked off my Sunday shoes. Lesslye, she pulled me up from my knees.

You get the picture. 

Here’s a shot of my youngest host sister wearing my rain boots, and a quick sketch I did of them both.

Besos!
