My friend Veronica and I have been watching So You Think You Can Dance this season. It is uh-mazing! Yesterday we got talking about some of our favorite dances from the past. I thought I'd post them here. You all know how much I love to share!
Season 3 Top 8 group dance
Neil and Sabra Jazz Routine
Pasha and Lacey Hip Hop
...he gets a huge sliver in his leg which he then proceeds to try and CUT IT OUT by himself with a blade used for cutting shingles. "Don't worry babe, it was a new blade and I rinsed it in hydrogen peroxide..." Um... ok...
So I got to the job site with tweezers in hand. I'm a nurse right? No big deal I'm allllll over it!
He doesn't even give me a chance to get out of the car. He hops in and tells me we are going to meet his boss (Keith). His boss' brother in law is a dermatologist. Apparently he gave Keith a scalpel and a few other supplies to "take care of business". Great, we are going to upgrade from roofing blade to scalpel wielded by an amateur. I'm sure you can all imagine how thrilled I was. "Don't worry babe, I brought super glue to seal it all up!" Great, fabulous. Super glue works wonders on minor cuts. Jagged gouges made by my dear husband in a futile attempt to remove the demon sliver from hell? Not so much.
Casey sure knows my weak points. At about the time I start explaining all the problems with this brilliant plan (infection, bleeding, masochism...) he says, "Hey... you wouldn't want to do it would you?" Oh brother. Yes, I want to do it. Please allow me to wield the scalpel. I'm a professional. Gag.
A little conversation for the trip down Main St... Casey: "So, muscle is REALLY hard to cut through." Oh brother.
For those of you thinking, "Why didn't he just go to the Instacare and claim worker's comp?" I am totally with you. "Because babe, it will cost my boss so much money I'd rather just do it this way."
Bless his boss' heart. We pull up outside his brother's office and Keith ushers us inside. They have an exam room ready and the physician's assistant proceeds to take care of things the proper way. Keith sure knows my hubby well, I'm very glad he tricked him into coming to the doctor's! I could have fainted from relief. But instead I nearly fainted from seeing them work on my hubby. C-Sections? Total knee replacements? Sure! No problem! Bring on the gore! But three inch incision and stitches on my dear Casey? I think I feel a little sick.
This is the hole Casey made on his own. It was taken with my cell phone so the quality's not great but suffice it to say he sure did a real hack job. Bless his heart.
As the P.A is slicing away Casey says in amazement, "Wow! That scalpel sure cuts better than that old blade of mine!" Yep.
This is the little bugger that caused all the trouble. It was pretty deep in there. The P.A had to dig around to get it all out. 
This is before stitches. Pretty decent hole huh?
Anyways that was a really long way to get to the point. Casey got 8 stitches (14 if you count the ones under the skin). A prescription for antibiotics and a lecture about refraining from performing minor surgery on himself in the future. 
The finished product!
You know I tease Casey about all of this but really I'm glad he gave me a good story to write about! And he's always good to balance me out. I'm the chick in Instacare with the sniffles crying because I think I have Swine Flu!
Thank you Foxy for giving me my stripper name. Trixie Sizzle Spanx. Too legit, too legit to quit.
In case you couldn't tell that's the Rocky theme song. I know right? Pretty much felt like the biggest champ ever this weekend! I finished my first triathlon! "Woot. Woot." (haha)
I'm trying to get pumped for my first taste of GU.
Yep, just as I suspected.
Check out those numbers huh? I felt pretty legit. Brenda pointed out that it's too bad I wasn't the next person in line to sign up. Dang. 
I'm off to save Gotham...
Casey came out to support us. It was sooo good to have someone there to cheer us on! He wanted to do it but decided it the week before. He hadn't trained at all and I thought it would be a good thing if he didn't drown. He's going to do the Bear Lake Brawl with me in September though!
Haha, mount... ha
Water was 60 degrees... that'll wake you up.
We're off!
The first transition...
What a dork! The is the last stretch! I'm like 50 feet from the finish line. The announcer had all the names so when I got there she said, "Here comes Karen." And everyone cheered. Pretty much amazing.
I was pretty much on a high at this point. Giddy would be a great word to describe it. So freaking fun! Can't wait for the next one! Who's with me? (Foxy...)
Just a quick update, today was my first triathlon! I did it! It went great and now I'm officially a triathlete! More to come...
This is on the music video DVD at American Eagle and I basically love it. The video makes the song for me. Hope you guys like it... it's a little... um... "out there". It's altogether awkward and even a little bit creepy. Enjoy!
P.S The song is called "Ready for the Floor" by Hot Chip
