Happy Ending
Jul 25th
I first heard this song during Riley’s dance recital rehearsal and loved it. It’s beautiful and sad, and the dance that was done with it was gorgeous. I finally downloaded Happy Ending by Mika today and found this video.

Dance the night away
May 29th
Riley’s dance recital was two nights last week. Her first night was ballet; the second night was acrobatics and jazz. She did wonderfully–she knew where everyone was supposed to be, and she helped get them there. She loves dancing and it shows! We are so proud of her and everything she has accomplished in her two years on stage.

Random thoughts
May 26th
My fantastic friend This Belle Rocks awarded me with Gorgeous Blogger and Versatile Blogger awards. Sweet!
So in the spirit of following the rules, here are 7 random things about me:
1. I have a widow’s peak, so no blunt bangs for me.
2. Summer is my favorite season. I love hot weather.
3. When I was little I wanted to be a gymnast or a dancer.
4. I’m psyched that Riley loves both those things.
5. I have two crooked toes on my left foot.
6. I experience deja vu and a sort of ESP thing a lot. But I keep it quiet.
7. I’m addicted to Mountain Dew.

I haven’t been around much lately because I’ve been busy with work, end-of-school activities, softball and dance recitals. I hope to get back to blogging more regularly. OK, that’s it. Gotta run!

Jason Castro goes hip-hop
Feb 17th
Thanks to Castrocopia for this little gem: a hip-hop class set to Jason Castro’s “Let’s Just Fall in Love Again.”
A friend and I are going to see Jason in a couple of weeks in Birmingham at Workplay. This will be the first time I’ve seen him since the “American Idol” tour stop in D.C., which was a blast. I’m looking forward to hanging out with friends and hearing Jason’s new songs.
