Name That Tune Tuesday (with Audio)

Woke up this morning and realized that a day full of desk-dancing is actually enough exercise to induce soreness. Had to take some Motrin to get moving this morning. Must remember to warm up next week. Must remember I'm not 16 any more. Must stop writing like a 16-year-old. gtg. ttyl. ~Katy

 PS - The only thing more ridiculous than a Pointer Sisters song is a Pointer Sisters song at 200% speed...and me dancing to it.

PSS - Congrats to our first ever contest winners!

1. Heather S. from Georgia
2. LeighAnn M. from Georgia
3. Jennifer E. from Georgia
4. Myriah G. from Georgia
5. Andrew R. from South Carolina
6. Anna Catherine C. from Mississippi (Yes, I included a sixth...because I love her...and because I can.)

Looks like the South has risen again!

Name That Tune Tuesday!

I was "working" in my office this afternoon and thought I'd give you a glimpse into one of the reasons why I love to work from home.

And then I had an idea to turn this lunacy into a give-away. Be one of the first five people to guess which song I'm dancing to, and you'll win a free copy of my book "Multiple Streams of Motivation"! Please do not post your answers on this site, because that will obviously ruin it for everyone else. And then I will have to punish you by not sending you the book.

Email your guess to katy@themorgantrail.com.

Please submit only one guess per individual. So, if you guess and are wrong, you can get your husband/boyfriend/cousin/therapist/etc. to submit another guess for you.

Thanks for playing!

PS - Yes, I'm wearing my pink, fuzzy slippers. Sue me.

Clue: You may have seen Hugh Grant do a similar dance. And that's the only pointer I'm going to give you.

Actually, this is NOT the best Christmas story ever...just sayin'.

And, yes. JJ did get a piggy-back ride from Barack Obama.

Scary Road (With VIDEO!)

Believe it or not, it's been exactly one year since we first moved to England. Some of you may recall our first few weeks here. One of the most memorable experiences for me was learning to drive. Since Brian got right to work, I had the terrifying task of driving around England looking for a house on my own. I remember following the real estate agent out to our house in Walsham for a viewing. She was driving at a normal rate of speed for someone accustomed to European cars and country roads. In other words, she was going at least 60 around turns and curves that would no doubt flip an American-sized SUV. I, on the other hand, trailed behind doing 30 and still ended up with a front, left hub cap that now requires zip ties to stay put.

I'll never forget that first trip down the Scary Road. It is, for your information, properly named The Street. Seriously, it's called "The Street." Apparently the road-namers ran out of ideas once they got to Walsham. Anyhow, we seriously considered not moving here after driving down this road a few times. The video doesn't really do it justice, but you can ask my father-in-law how frightening it is. I nearly killed them on that road while he and Robyn were here. And, no, it wasn't intentional.
