Thursday Dance Party - Sponsored by...

I like to think I'm cool. I know this is totally false. But, I like to dance very badly most of the time. I woke up yesterday in a weirdly good mood. And had a dance party in my bathroom with my iPod. I thought I would share what puts me in a great mood, and I know it would put you in a good mood too.

1. Crossfit Knoxville - Crossfit seems to be the biggest new workout trend. And for a perfectly good reason, it's awesome. I am not the workout little bird (currently listening to Little Bird by Ed Sheeran) but I actually enjoy going to Crossfit. It's a do-able workout for everyone. And I mean everyone. It's scalable, you can measure your success and it's a team/community atmosphere. Boxes are bare banes, your coaches yell at you and your fellow Crossfitters stand around and cheer you on. No one is left behind. You're officially invited to come to class with me so let me know and we'll go together. You won't go back to your old boring gym ever again.  

2. Wearing jean shorts to work - Yesterday was our 5th anniversary/partnership announcement party at Renewal by Andersen of Knoxville. And, since I am the party planner extraordinaire I spent the entire day running errands and setting up. I wasn't about to try to be productive in a dress or pants, so I threw on my favorite blue jean shorts and loved every minute of it. Shorts are my favorite piece of clothing and I'm super excited it's finally shorts weather. 

3. Grace Potter and Maroon 5 - I recently attended concerts for both of these amazingly, spectacular artists. When I get ready in the morning I like to steal my Mom's little bluetooth speaker and jam out in my bathroom. And yesterday Mr. Levine's voice singing Wasted Years just got me in the mood for an awesome day. I mean, it's probably my favorite song right now. If I was still teaching dance my team/class would most definitely have a dance to it. I can't put into words how awesome I think it is. 

And, Grace Potter is the cutest, best dancing singer around IMHO. I mainly love her dance moves because they look like the ones I do in my robe at my  morning dance parties. She has a multitude of wonderful songs but Paris is one of my faves. Want to be in a good mood? Then listen to herrrrrrr!

Oh, I also listened to the Cruise Remix by Nelly, and Florida Georgia Line. I mean, pure awesomeness. 

Its rare that one wakes up in a truly, pure good mood. I was very excited I had one of those yesterday. Today I woke up with an abscessed tooth. This should be a fun couple of days. [Back story - when I was in the 4th grade I was playing Frogger with some friends, I yelled jump which ended up with a dead frog. Being silly, a remote control was thrown and accidentally hit my front tooth. It knocked half of it off and apparently it can take years for teeth to catch up with trauma. I knew this was going to happen eventually but it hurts and I'm an unhappy camper, on pain pills. So if you see me and I'm acting silly I blame that.]

What tips do you have to put me in a good mood all 7 mornings of the week? I will try almost anything.
