BlogHer flashmob – were you there?

In the middle of lunch Friday afternoon, in the middle of the cavernous convention hall, I danced.
Well, dancing is being kind.
It all began a month ago or so, the amazing Theresa from RockOnMommies and Mary from the Mama Mary Show put together a dance for a BlogHer flashmob. I wanted to learn it. I did. But time and, uh, lack of skeelz kept me from it. I wanted to do it. I so did. I mean, how often to you get the opportunity to be in a flashmob? But I didn’t think I could pull it off.
Then, Wednesday night, after an awesome dinner out, Mary gave me a quick lesson by the hotel pool. I learned the chorus. I was thrilled – I WAS going to be in the flashmob!
So there we all were Friday at noon, milling about, when the music starts playing over the speakers. Theresa, a former professional cheerleader who is absolutely adorable, started dancing. And people knew something was going to happen.
I raced across to get into position – you can see me running right by Mary.
I sat down, waiting for my cue, which clearly I had no idea of what it was, because I jumped in a little too early.
Thankfully I was next to Stephanie, who shouted out dance-y terms to me and I just followed along like I was in an aerobics class.
I was on the edge of glory. No. Really. That was the song. Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga.

Now that I’ve done it once, I’ve got the fever. I totally want to do it again. Only next time, I’ll actually learn the dance!!
