Jenny On the Spot: Caffeinated mom, lover of dancing, glitter and glitter.

Um… betcha didn’t know I was the head-double for Cousin Itt…

…and if anyone can capture heart and passion and zest in a still frame – my friend Mark is da man! Mark is the husband of mah girl Lisa. If any of ya’ll need a photographer, you need Mark. He even has a photoblog – Photomatopoeia. Mark, you have skillzzz, yes, I spelled that with THREE Zs!

Here’s Eric & Joni. You say, “Bring it”? I say, “It was already brought-en!”

Paul (the Hubs) and I went with Mark and Lisa and our other couple-friends Eric and Joni (see above) to a fundraiser for a local private school. There was the magnetic theme of “Funk”, so I had little resistance to the invitation to go. The band that played was a good fit for the theme of “funk” for they played… FUNK. They also oooooooozzzzed fffffunk.

I totally hopped in front of Mark’s camera… even my baubbly necklace is floating… I am so shy. It’s painful.

Here I am with my friend Melissa. We were werkin’ our magic in the recording studio…

Before the party I had a BIG decision to make… what should I wear. *light bulb* The floor-length polyester dress my mom made and wore in the 70’s! The dress had already “been there” and “done that”, so I looked to her for my strength… Of course Lisa and I spent hours a little while getting ready. I may have made her pee her pants…. or I may not have. I do know she made me *snort*. We did manage to pull ourselves together though:

Mark did not take this pic, my iPhone did… Alright! *spritz-spritz* Let’s go!

It was a super-fun night. I actually did not get to dance with the fevor I am accustomed to. I have been nursing tendinitis in my left Achilles tendon, and needed to take it easy. You can’t tell by the pics, but I really did “lay low”. Imagine what Mark might have captured had I been totally “on”. I bet you’d have liked to see me defy gravity. Maybe next time. I have a marathon on Sunday, and as much as I love dancing I want to check that little goal off my bucket list ;) Here’s one last picture. Another iPhone picture… what’s a funky party without face paining? Thank you Joni for spotting me 3 bucks so I could get mah paint on too!

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…
