One of my favorite things

Happy Friday everyone! This may be very cheesy,but I saw posting today featuring Julie Andrews, who is one of my childhood idols, and now have "My Favorite Things" in my head. For anyone that could possibly use a cheesy skating "pick me up" of sorts, feel to read the following to the same tune.

Swizzles and twizzles and freestyle sessions
Axels and toe-loops make hard practice sessions
With a notebook at hand and goals to achieve
Skating is one of my favorite things.

Off-ice and On-ice and 6 a.m. sessions
Ice Skates and waltz 8's and some private lessons
While I may try camels, I may fall on my knees
Skating is one of my favorite things.

When my coach yells
When my skates stink
When I'm facing fears
I always remember what I can achieve, and then I don't feel... so bad.

White colored dresses with blue sequined splashes
Tights that won't stay up and many power classes
While dance makes our edges long and clean
Skating is one of my favorite things

When my coach yells
When my skates stink
When I'm facing fears
I always remember what I can achieve, and then I don't feel...so bad
----Just for a few more giggles----- :)
You might be a figure skater if:
You know a flying camel isn't an actual camel with wings
You get "caught" by people passing by doing your skating routine while waiting at a bus stop away from the ice arnea
You see cute member of the opposite sex, you don't think "Date!" Instead, you think "Dance/Pairs Partner!"
You do a move well when your coach isn't looking, and completely flub it up when they are
You consider ice as a food group, considering how many times you may "eat it" in a practice session
You are willing, at least occasionally, skate at an early morning freestyle session
You've spent more money on your skates and blades than your actual car 
You can hum the "Dutch Waltz" in your sleep

  1. So fun! My husband purposely asks me (incorrectly): "Are you going to throw any camels today?" I always correct him and tell him that it's called a flying camel, but he just keeps ignoring me. :)
