Ice Ice Baby

Thanks to my new summers-off-schedule, I was able to head to a bar in the burbs Thursday night for a free concert by Vanilla Ice.  Yes...Vanilla Ice.  I started the night without a ticket to get upstairs and ended in the VIP section dancing on stage with The Ice. I'm pretty sure the other girls were all 18-21 but yes, me... the Mom with a 3-year-old rockin; my new white Old Navy beach pants was totally one of them. 
See the girls??  Yeah totally not me.  But I was right there. 
And see the creepy clown to the left of Ice??  There were two of them (both creepy as hell), and they splashed bottles of water on everyone.   Oh yes, this is totally my normal Thursday night.
I honestly don't know any of his other songs besides Ice Ice Baby, and I'm sure he knew that was the general consensus since that song lasted at least 10 minutes.  But I danced my little heart out. I was quite proud to represent my dorky dance moves and I had both V. Ice and some of the crowd doing one of my favorites.  You know...the cat eyes one from Pulp Fiction.  Yes, he totally did it and probably said to himself, WTF?!?!? 
FYI this dance move is called the Batusi from the old school Batman.  I know...your life is totally complete now. 
I also had to add in a few surfer moves on stage and then back on the dance floor.  It only makes sense in my mind, but yes, I look just about like this girl surfin' it out on the floor.  And for your future par-tay nights- if you are at a crowded dance floor it is by far the best way to give your group some space and keep the creepers off.  That or I totally smelled.  Either one, we had plenty of room to shake our groove thang. 

Dancing Competition

Mr. T has got some major competition. In fact, he actually has some major work to do if he is going to compete with this young man.  Either way...the video is to die for. 

Just Look at that Belly...

Hilarious.

Dear Twenties,


It is quite sad to say goodbye to you, but I must say that I feel pretty damn good about what we have accomplished during our time together.  First and foremost, we made it through college.  And don't let anyone judge us on the fact that it took 5 years.  Because we all know we have that semester in Australia and ridiculously cheap Fort Collins drinks to blame for that.  We also made it through multiple knee injuries, surgeries, and know that the best way to be on crutches and not give up your beer is to attach a red solo cup to one crutch (seriously....it is brilliant).  Twenties, we river danced on top of bars, broke records on the mechanical bull, and learned to perfect the air guitar. 

But by far the best years together occurred after those crazy college days and began with the "I Do" to Gator Guy.  I know, it's cheesy, but it's the simple truth.  With you, we bought a house and extended our family with the most perfect little boy ever!!!  Twenties, you showed that the most important thing in life is family and the loved ones around us.  And even the burbs have the best Par-Tay on a Friday night with neighbors, dominos pizza, and drinks.  You either extended my childhood friendships or introduced me to the most amazing girlfriends that I know will be in my life forever.  You gave me the confidence to know that I can run marathons, be a working Mom, work out enough to still indulge in that IPA, and take a risk with a passionate career change to begin teaching. 

So thank you Twenties.  I do believe our time together was well worth it and I hope you feel as I do that we are parting ways on good terms.  I don't leave with any regrets because...you and I....We loved and we lived.  

xoxo,

Dear Thirties, 

We have started our time together on the right foot by watching Clueless (Yes thank you morning TV for showing that Gem), taking a kick-my-ass yoga sculpt class, dancin it out to Tony Toni Tone and other awesome 90s music, a margarita before noon, some shopping, and now a tall IPA as I wait for Gator Guy to come home for dinner. 

Thirties - I must say that there are stories that intimidate me.   But honestly, I think we are going to be great together. 


However, I must ask....Please be nice.  I hear that our hangovers together will suck big time.  So remember that this will never prohibit me from an IPA during the game or glass of wine with the girls.  So just please be nice.  

xoxo, 


Kat

My Love for the Air Guitar

I have a Love for many things.  My boys.  Microbrews.  My Jams. Tebow.  The Bach.  My BFFs.  Yoga & Running. Sports Talk Radio. (all in no particular order).

But added to that list...is the Air Guitar.  Yes, this is very true.  I just can't help myself when I hear those cords perfectly in tune with a set of drums and a belting chorus line.  My left hand cranks out and my right sets just on my torso...and then...the magic begins.  I do not know how to play a single note on a real guitar, nor I have ever even played Guitar Hero.  But I can promise you one thing. I. Can. Freaking. Rock. The. Air. Guitar.

And so, leave it to a trip last week in Mexico to present to us...The perfect combination:
  1. Bloody caesar cocktails
  2. Fantastic friends
  3. Mexican band singing ACDC without speaking a lick of English
  4. A 30th birthday celebration for my dear M.
  5. Cerveza
  6. Gator Guy behind the camera

    And you get this fantastic duo of Air Guitar meets Air Drums

Kickin off the Week Jam: Heartbreaker by Matt Wertz

Love this song.  Love it on this Monday.  Love love love.  However, wish I was at home dancing my heart out in my room.  Its that kind of song for me.

Look out Dancing with the Stars...

Mr. T is a dancing machine.  He may only be 19 months old and not have the ballroom perfected yet, but he's getting pretty damn good at the booty drop, robot, belly grab, and my favorite: the side shuffle.
