i like my aunts, i like my allisons.

I am obsessed.
and want to do this every day. . .

for the rest of my life.


found via rachel (she's a favorite).

FACT.

When I was in college I had bleh days ALOT.

fat days.
boys suck days.
got a c days.
pms days. . .
and 4 billion etcs.

I REFUSED to lean into feeling like crap.

SO.

I invented the bathroom dance.

I would lock myself in a bathroom stall (in the GCB for you BYUHers)
and sing "I'm Walking on Sunshine" in my head. . .
at the TOP of my lungs (my uh, head lungs?)
and dance like a lunatic.

flailing arms a serious must.

try it.

FOR REAL.

the BEST and a TOTAL cure all.

Ashleigh said...

The GCB stalls seem small for arm flailing, but I will definitely try it in my full-sized bathroom tomorrow morning. Thanks for sharing, I totally reposted the video on my blog. Everyone should see it :) Thanks for sharing! xo

I wish I could write something witty but I'm too busy laughing. Thanks!

Love it! And for the record, I have "blah" days all the time. In fact, my father-in-law and I say it's a real diagnosis. ;) It drives my mother-in-law, a registered nurse and manager of the ICU & PCU units, crazy. "There's no such sickness as the blahs," she says. But my FIL and I beg to differ. :) So now, when I have the blahs, I'm going to have to try the dancing thing - I like that idea. A lot! Thanks for sharing! ;)

What a positive influence on my day :)

The Tesimales said...

Oh my gosh I love the video. She is so cute. Just a thought... having that song on your i Pod and blasting it in your ears could help. Not sure though singing it at the top of your lungs in your head does sound awesome. I just don't think I would be able to contain myself. Then again, it's not often I am able to contain myself. I'm gonna try it.

Elizabeth said...

So great! My song is Island in the Sun. I can't be down after belting that out and dancing around.

Ally said...

That video is fantastic...I would like to hang out with that mom. What a great kid! ;)

Molly said...

I've seen you dance in person and it's awesome. I can only imagine you going all out in the privacy of a bathroom stall! But, put you and richie dancing together and it's pretty much the cutest couple moment I've ever seen.

The Garner Family said...

Absolutely LOVE the idea. I am going to have to try that - I've had a few too many "blah" days lately.

Bekah said...

I am a BYU student and LOVE this! I'm going to carry this tradition on as soon as one of those many "bleh" days come!
