on what day of the year can we celebrate the neutron dance?

i'm finding it humorous that the minute i started reading an article on leap day, the pointer sister's song "jump" got stuck in my head.

when we were kids, missy and i used to get up on the couch whenever this song would come on the radio. then as the pointer sisters sang the chorus, the loveandcyanide sisters would jump off the couch, scramble back on, and repeat the cycle every time they sang that magical word.

i am certain my parents and the people who lived below us on the second floor must have loved this little show we put on.

happy leap day!

adorable sister story! my head always gets stuck on songs with words in them that are semi-related to whatever i'm working on. like recently it's been the song "forever young (do you really want to live forever)" did/does that happen to you?

it always happens to me!

lately i've been getting a lot of whitney houston's "the greatest love of all" popping into my head at work - i feel like the words 'children' or 'future' just always prompt that one. and i don't even like the stupid song.

oh, thank GAWD. now i don't feel so alone. the current playlist in my head consists of madonna's "true blue" on repeat.

true love, oh baby, true love, oh baby...
