Advent

Should I really say I'll participate in this blogging challenge? I've had a bad track record over the last two years, and I worry that my good blogging pals KC, LH MM, Et al. have had enough of my shenanigans.

Still, I miss blogging - I always do - and an alphabet challenge seems like it could be accomplished relatively easily. Here goes.

A is for advent. Next week is the advent of my dance team season. For three lovely months, I'll spend my non-work hours leading a team of 40 dancers as they kick, turn and leap their way to high school infamy.

There will be pom poms, there will be tears. There will be pep fests. There will be a social media policy.

And by god, there will be a music splice that forever binds Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, just as they are forever bound in our hearts and minds.

Anyone who thought I'd choreograph a dance without incorporating this horribly catchy reggaeton beat hasn't spent enough time around me lately.
