Here it is, the first of the month again already. Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m getting old, too. I’ll start worrying the day I decide it’s time to start getting regular perms and switch to Pert haircare products. Then again, it will be a breath of fresh air to see the look on my children’s faces the first time they have to change one of mommy’s “big stinkers.”

September’s “Stop, Drop, and Rock” song is……. FOOTLOOSE by Kenny Loggins.

First off; Kenny Loggins?? Really? I have been madly in love with this song since dancing right out of my cloth diapers to it (yes, my mother was a bit off her rocker) and had no idea it was Kenny Loggins. Second; It’s a damn good thing that God created Google. Seriously. Third; Go Kenny. You rock, dude.

So, in all honesty, I had no idea what this month’s song was going to be. I’ve been struggling with it since about the 2nd of last month. I knew, and then I didn’t. And then I did again, and then I didn’t. The fluctuation based primarily on the fact that every time I found a song I could so totally get down to, I heard it about 100 times over again in the same damn day. Stupid radio. You killed the video star.

And then, it happened. The greatest “light bulb moment” I’ve ever experienced. Well, aside from the first night I had Hunter and was laying in bed staring at him like; “Oh crap. Oh crap. I am totally responsible for this human being. Double crap. He’s so screwed.”  This afternoon, I was browsing around stalking reading some of my favorite bloggers, and Heather from Dooce had posted this totally swingin’ video on yesterday’s post. After snapping myself out of the seriously too-legit-to-quit “shopping cart” and “sprinkler” moves that were tearin’ up my dance living room floor, it hit me… Dude, that’s it! That’s totally it!

So, my peeps. Crank it up and let loose…. Footloose.
