Updated intro to today’s throw back post…
While driving with Jamie last night, she and I spent the majority of the ride discussing the merits of each of the members of the K-pop group BTS (Who has the best voice? Who’s the best looking? And oh my gosh Jungkook can dance. And I like R.M.’s confidence. And Suga’s voice is seriously so good. And he is definitely my bias).
Seriously, why do I even know what a BTS bias is and more importantly, why do I have one?
And that’s when I realized…
Jamie got me again.
But this time I don’t think I’ll outlast her.

“Ooo, what if there was a Justin Bieber Just Dance game? Now that would be something.” I asked Jamie on our ride home from school while shamelessly bopping to “Baby, baby, baby oh…” in the driver’s seat.
“Um, yeah.” She answered sheepishly. Then with a nervous smile and an apologetic tone she added, “Mom, I have to tell you something. I’ve kind of lost the Bieber fever. I’m sorry but ever since I saw Rustin Hieber on YouTube I remembered how much fun it used to be to make fun of Justin Bieber and I really want to make fun of him again with Easton, Cora and Kimmie. So I’m just over him now.”
It was at this point that I should have wiped my brow, let out a big old “Whew” of relief and switched discs (being that this Bieber fever affair had started so that Jamie and I could have something special to share together) but I didn’t. I continued to listen, sing, dance and make obnoxious tweeny-bopper hand jesters to match the painfully tweeny-bopperesque lyrics (have you ever made a heart symbol with your fingers? Now that’s a good time).
So whatever. I’ll admit it. I’ve still got the fever for the Bieber, independent of my 9 year old daughter, because–and say what you will about my sanity–his music puts me in an instant good mood.
And wouldn’t you agree that more instant good moods are exactly what’s needed in this big old crazy world of ours right now?
I think you would. So go find your instant good mood maker today. And if you don’t have one try this…
“Shawty is an eenie, meenie, miney moe lover. Shawty is an eenie, meenie, miney moe lover…”
Now that’s gold baby. Pure warm fuzzy, happy dance gold.
