I’m usually not the stand-out, adventurous type, but apparently I’ll do just about anything for my local blogging friends.
On Saturday, I headed north to the latest Momz Share event with a few of my favorite local bloggers. The theme was the 80s, and I made an attempt at going for the early 80s look with hand-made leg warmers and all.
The kids were embarrassed to watch me walk out the door (one child suggested that I put a mask or dark sunglasses on so the neighbors wouldn’t recognize me). Somehow, I not only made it out the door, but I was brave enough to show off my Just Dance 2 skills in front of the whole party.
My legs are still a little sore from all the dancing.
Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all over.
Are you playing along with Wordless or Wordful Wednesday today? Link up!

Oh – And another thing, see that notice up on the very top of my page about winning a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer? You should totally click it. And then when you win, you can send me some chocolate chip cookies. Deal?

Awesome photos! I was too busy getting my Just Dance on to even think about picking up my camera, so thanks!

I love the leg warmers!
Lolli says
Thanks. You would have had a blast dancing with us. We really need to do that again. When I don’t have an injured back. :) As far as the jeans go….I can NOT wear low waisted jeans. So I finally found a brand (Gloria Vanderbilt) that still makes high waisted jeans. YES, I WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME. I just don’t tuck my shirt in. They feel great, they make me look better, and they don’t feel like they are falling down. My teenage daughter thinks I am SO crazy.
I have FOUR pair. :)

I was not born until 1990, so I cannot relate to an 80’s party, but this looks awesome. I love the Fraggle Rock shirt, it was my favorite cartoon growing up.
