Friday Favorites 8.24.2012

August 24, 2012 by Amy

It’s feeling like a list day.  And after seeing BooMama’s list, it’s feeling like a Friday Favorites list.  Here are the things moving me, making me smile and wanting to dance a jig.

1.

If you are a parent, go pick up The Power of a Praying Parent.  Amanda did a review on it so I bought it and now I wish I’d be praying these prayers for years.

I made this cilantro lime rice last night. I had also put some chicken in the crock-pot with some chicken broth and then shredded it. I combined them and it made my mouth dance. The kids? Not so much. But so easy just to leave some plain rice out for them.

3.

These new (to me?) gluten free chocolate chip cookies are amazing. Almost as good as regular Tollhouse ones.  Locals, I picked it up at the new Harris Teeter.

I finally caved and I’m wearing a chambray shirt today. I bought it months ago after seeing it starting to pop up on Pinterest.  Loving it.  For some reason I feel like I should go sailing in it.  What’s with that?  I also feel like I’m back in the 90’s but whatever.

5.

 

I posted this on Facebook this morning from Sarah Morgan but it’s worth repeating.  It’s a very Friday video.  Many favorites are in there–Grease, Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Coyote Ugly, Step Up, High School Musical. And 100 bonus points if you recognize the dancing scene from True Lies.  That alone makes me laugh.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

    Loved seeing Billy Elliott and Strictly Ballroom in the video clip. Those are two of my favorite dancing related movies. Also loved seeing Gene Kelly (*sigh*) – he’s my favorite dancer of all time. I could watch him for hours and never get bored.

    Surprised there were no clips of other popular musical movies that involved dance. Cabaret? Chorus Line? Black Swan? Anything with Shirley Temple? Shall We Dance (the original Japanese version)? Chicago? All That Jazz? Fame? Shag? Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo? Seriously – that clip could have been twice as long! *lol*

      I thought I saw a clip of Black Swan? I’ve never seen the movie though so maybe I didn’t.
      How is it I haven’t watched Billy Elliott yet? Need to add that to my Netflix list.
