I'm too young to feel this old

So, Drill Team and Color guard tryouts kicked-off yesterday and yours truly is in charge of the making-upage of the routines as well as teaching.  So, I made up the routines during my planning and felt pretty good.  That afternoon, I was showing all those girls how it's supposed to be done.  "No, spin that humongous flag this way....lindy this way...kick this high..pas de bourree like this.." After practice I was thinking to myself, "dang, I still got it.  Look at me, I'm not even out of breath or hurting.  Nothing has fallen off." Today: different story.  My right shoulder feels like it is hanging on by a thread.  My calves are so sore that I'm pretty sure I looked like I had some serious walking issues.  Needless to say, I had some seniors helping me today and mostly suspiciously walked around. 

Change of subject but I have to bring it up.  For Christmas, the middle school administration gave us these really cute shirts that say "Don't Make Me Get Out My Red Pen" and I decided to wear mine today.  I went through the entire school day with a jacket on.  I didn't notice until my show choir kids pointed out that my jacket covered up all of the words except, of course, the words "make" and "out".  So, basically, I promoted making-out for an entire school day.  Classy.

Finally, I think I have next year's show choir show set!  Theme: Icon Status.  Envision this: we open with M.J.'s "Black or White", lead into Queen's "Killer Queen", slow it down with Aerosmith's "Angel", hype it back up with Outcast's "Hey Ya", keep up the energy with Brittney's "Toxic" or Lady Gaga's/Madonna's "Born this Way/Vogue" mash-up (only undecided one), and close with Usher's "More". Woooooot.  I'm gonna have fun choreographing those...that is, if I don't fall apart doing it.

The final word of the day.  "Whisper".  Could we all promote this?  Spread it like wildfire.  Teach it to the children of the world.
