"Footloose" and Fancy Free

One of, like, the most important jobs of the bishopric is, you know, like, chaperoning stake dances. Gag me! Grody to the max!

How cool are we....it's truly sad Bill and I never dated in the 80's. How cute would we have been? You can't tell, but my florescent yellow sweatshirt is totally flashdanced out. Nor can you see my stylin' neon orange canvas boat shoes (with yellow socks). The bangs took awhile to get out this morning, but well worth it. I totally give it up to John and Karen though. She is wearing cut loofah gloves and John made a special trip to Harmon's JUST for binaca mouth spray. Karen even gurned (crusty) a few times to complete her look. Check out her blog Like, totally rad!! for more radical pics. Bill attempted the Flock of Seagulls hairdo, but ended up with this.
I must say to the youth of today....get your own music! Electric Slide, Boot-scootin' Boogie, Footloose, White Boy, Forever Yours (by Journey), stuff by KISS and the Ramones....come on. There were a few I didn't recognize, but really. I'm old and I knew most of the tunes.
P.S. Marrdy just gave me a Blogger award....she's so nice....I think she feels sorry for my little blog. Thanks Marrdy....it made my day!

Nice picture! The last Stake dance I chaperoned, I was SHOCKED that by far the most popular songs that the kids got into were the 80s songs. They even all knew some fancy, coordinated routine to Thriller. I'm glad this generation does have some appreciation for the fine music of our youth. I sound SO old...

RAD! I love the outfit. I need to find my acid wash skirt! I have loved reading your blog. Your trip to Disneyland looked so fun--I hear you on bringing the parents along. I also loved your b-day post. Nice work! I've got you on bloglines now so I can keep up on your cute family.

I still have my hair crimper and a banana clip! Don't worry -- I don't wear them out of the house. Too cute! You guys look great!
