Women are like lionesses at the gate of the home. . . . She guards that gate, and things matter to that family if they matter to her. . . . Sisters, you are each like the lioness at the gate. This means that there has to be some prioritizing. I was taught years ago that when our priorities are out of order, we lose power. If we need power and influence to carry out our mission, then our priorities have to be straight.

SYTYCD

Don't you just hate the summer, when all your favorite shows go on a hiatus? Good bye, LOST. See you soon, The Office.

Hello, So You Think You Can Dance!

I gave up on American Idol 3 seasons ago. I finally convinced Michael this year to let it go as well. I'm sure I could convince you too if you would just give me 5 minutes of your time. But So You Think You Can Dance? Now that's quality programming!

Being a dancer myself, I absolutely drool over the choreography. (Can they please just have every routine either choreographed by Tyce, Mia, or Wade? Anyone else with me on this?) I cry over the gorgeous execution. (Danny - I will love you forever.) And I get chill bumps with the great music selection. (One Republic - you will be forever in debt to this show...)

It's just not summer without SYTYCD.

Last year, some friends of ours hosted a post-SYTYCD party entitled "So You Know You Can't Dance." Couples were encouraged to choreograph their own routines and perform them at the party. Of the 12+ couples invited, only 5 of us had the guts to show up and show it off. Michael and I did a video submission rather than perform live, for 3 reasons. 1) It's less embarrassing to show your friends a video than to perform in front of everyone. 2) We submitted more than one routine. 3) We did not choreograph every 8 count of our routines, and free-styling in our friend's living room just didn't seem right.

If you're looking for a good time on a Friday night, I highly recommend this party. If you choose to participate, you're going to need a rockin' routine. May I make the following suggestions:

1) One of you should be pregnant. (Me, in this case, with Rachelle.)

2) You should definitely have a toddler involved.

3) Also props.

4) Solos should be encouraged.

5) If you do a Napoleon Dynamite routine, be sure to wear your "Vote for Pedro" shirt.

Enjoy our submissions. Hot Tamale Train - here we come! "Oh yes we are!"
