Day 20: Big Day Tomorrow!

Well tomorrow is the big day. It's the 2012 kickoff for Marathon Makeover! (Check out the website!) For those of you who do not know, this is my parent's business that trains people to go from couch potatoes to marathoners. It is such a great program. I'm not just saying this because I am their daughter, but because I took part in it last year and it was such a good thing for me to do.

For the past few moments I have been sitting here at the computer making out a playlist music to take up noise while everyone is waiting for the informational meeting to start. I've decided to go with some good, upbeat tunes like "Ain't Nothing Wrong With That" (Robert Randolph & the Family Band) and "Count On Me" (Mat Kearney).

One of the things I like so much about the Marathon Makeover events is that I am always put in charge of the music that is played. I take my music very seriously, and it is nice to be asked to play DJ every once in a while. I really like to put in some good dance music so that people are encouraged to move around and have fun, me being a dancer and all. I'm usually successful, too! Last year the kickoff took place right after "Hey Ya" was released on the new "Just Dance 2" video game and when it played through the speakers in the building several wonderfully shameless people actually started doing the choreography. It was great! The best so far, though, was after the Run For Life Marathon I had the announcer play "Party Rock Anthem" over the sound system and we had ourselves a giddy little dance party...A big dance party actually. We had people dancing that we would have never guessed would  do so in a million years.

Some of my favorite memories are accompanied by music. It's kind of like a life soundtrack!
Here are a few of the songs I'm finding are good memory makers in our household right now:

"Ain't Nothing Wrong With That" by Robert Randolph & the Family Band
"Winner Takes It All" by Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia!
"Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO
"Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO ... Long funny story. We just can't get enough of this song! (Well, except for Caroline)
