I'm Gonna Learn to Fly- High!

Yesterday, at lunch with friends, someone said something that sparked a musical memory in my head. From there, I was lost to the rhythm of an old familiar tune: "There's a place I wanna be, not the one I hear that it should be. Fast forward! Moving fast forward!" And along with that, came the dance moves. Once out in the parking lot, I broke out into song and busted a move to show my fly steps. Right arm with fist clenched thrust in the air as my hips shimmied side to side. I think there was a twirl and maybe a little bit of the cabbage patch. It's kind of a blur because I was so IN it. My friends were busting a gut laughing at me as I managed to flounce across the parking lot as curious on-lookers ogled my shenanigans. It might have helped if Jorge and Chlo actually knew the movie from which my killer dance routine spawned from but alas, very few can say they have watched "the definitive dance movie of the '80's" (hey that is what the back of the movie says!). We came to the crosswalk and Chlo dared me to do my dance routine as I crossed the street.

Of course, I did it.

She dared me. And it was funny.

What was that I said about musical theater? Ahem. Maybe I am just a closeted wanna be musical theater star? I am not one to hang out with if you are easily embarrassed by random outbursts of song and dance in public that is for damn sure. I was thinking the other day as I was getting ready for work that I could walk out of my house and go about my entire day wearing my shower cap and no one would probably question my sanity. That's one of the things I like about this town. You wanna go all crazy and walk down the street at a snail's pace in an all pink get-up carrying an umbrella? Go right ahead. We will probably give you an award for "Local Hero". I'm gonna miss that about this place.

Oh, I didn't actually wear the shower cap out. Just in case, after that first story, you are questioning my sanity.

I feel about 75% lighter since breaking the news about my impending move here on this little bitty blog. Today I am tackling telling a couple of close co-workers. Then it will be OUT THERE. "You can't take it back. It's already out there." There is no turning back now.
