i had a big revelation last night. i actually scrap my best when watching disney channel. i’m being totally serious here. lol! sure i scrap during the day and when the girls aren’t here with me … but not as i do when we’re all hanging out upstairs. and if the girls are up here … you know disney channel will be on. a few of MY favorites are hannah montana, suite life of zack & cody, and life with derek. we’re also real big on drake & josh … but that’s the nick channel (and joe and i have been known to watch it in the morning while the girls are at school. lol!).

and i had to really search my blog for this … but it was 1 year and 7 months ago that "high school musical" aired for the first time. you can read my instant review of the movie HERE. i think i’ve seen it about 100 times since then … and still love it. it was on again last night … and i was scrapping away at my island (which conveniently faces the tv). every time one of the musical numbers would come on … i would grab my ruler (which is never far since i measure and re-measure everything i do. lol!) and use it as my microphone. seriously! alyssa was on the phone at one point wishing her aunt sheri a happy birthday … and i know she was telling her what a dork i was being. lol! i know the dance moves … and i know all the words. it may be hard to imagine (because i never dance in front of people other than the kids) … but i really get down.

and apparently that’s when my scrappin mojo kicks in the most. i dance, i sing, and i create. or if it’s a regular show (meaning it has no musical numbers) … i just listen in and create. lol! 

i’m trying to be very patient until high school musical 2 airs in just about 2 weeks. they keep teasing us with previews and commercials. and every time one of them comes on … i stop what i’m doing and watch. i can’t wait to see what i create when it finally airs … and when we get the cd.

so … is that all pathetic? or am i like a cool mom? alyssa may roll her eyes at me … but i think she likes the fact that i’m such a disney channel freak. and sarah doesn’t seem to mind … in fact, she grabbed an extra ruler tonight (because you know i have about 5 rulers upstairs just in case i misplace one) and joined in with my singing and dancing. lol!

and i keep singing my mojo song … "got my head in the game" … which if you’ve seen the movie than you’ll know what i’m talking about. and it’s appropiate since i’m working on sports themed stuff! lol!

    I will have to check out that movie. You are not a dork just a fun mom! I have boys and I dance and sing also and they do look at me as if I were a dork. Boys just don’t get it. haha! I love musicals like Grease & Dirty Dancing that I have watched 1000 time. I did go see Hairspray, fun movie! you would like that one.

    Sigh….oh Laura, we really need to get you out more.
    I am thinking though, the dancing and singing are right brain activities…and creativity is very right-brained, so you might, scientifically, be onto something there.

    Laura you had me laughing so hard when I read this. I also sing and dance when it’s just the girls and I cause Heaven forbid someone out side the house would see me I really can’t dance LOL. Right now I can’t even try and dance because of the stupid blood clot but someday I hope to beable to dance around the house again.

    Abby is always asking me to sing and dance with her when kiddies’ shows are on. Someone should take a photo of you doing this…lol.
