30 Days of Fun: Day Three
Dance party in my bedroom. I’m gonna need a giant disco ball.
(By the way, I’m not a fan of the N-word, which makes an appearance in this song. I am, however, a fan of Miss Elliot and her various Misdemeanors. I also enjoy running things.)
Girl, you have MOVES. Impressed.
moves indeed! a nd thin! you’ve always been thin- bit when I was having a shitty year I dropped 20 lbs — to my 8th grade weight — and people couldnt stop talking about how great i looked. I would be walking down the street in greenwich village weeping and friends would stop me to tell me how I was looking so good! weird
Rock on, Mighty Girl.
This is why I will never stand next to Maggie on a dance floor. Girl has moves!
Well I guess that eases any concern over your health! Phew! Also, I think Mighty Girl got her groove back. ;)
Love! You’re a great dancer.
I love this whole project. I can’t wait to read it every day! I hope this helps inject some light and happiness into each and every day. I know it has been making me smile!
Rock out the bad stuff, rock in the good!
Napoleon should be jealous.
Better check my purse for those yellow lamps next time I’m over, that’s all I’m saying.
If I need a mental/emotional pick-me up, this will be my go to bit of happy. Love this, Maggie! You are awesome :)
Get DOWN, girl! You do, indeed, have MOVES. I plan to study this video until I can reliably recreate them. Keep on dancin’!
Impressive moves, for reals. I love the idea of 30 days of fun.
You are a ridiculously good dancer.
Reminds me of those old youtubes of the “Dancing Girl” with the fur hats. I think she was from Scotland. Mary Something, I think. Anyway, it’s a compliment.
Alright – Event in Chicago celebrating the 40th anniversary of Soul Train on July 23. Be there.

Again, I wish we were friends. You are inspirational.
WORK IT!! Love the moves, LOVE LOVE LOVE the blog. You make me smile regularly.
PS – swirl your hips a little more.
I feel like absolute shit today. And that cheered me up. Thank you!
Mighty!
This is funny!
It’s like being behind someone’s mirror when they are dancing in their bedroom by themselves.
You are very brave to post this. Although I don’t see your face, so maybe it’s not really you. (kidding)
I love that you posted this. So great! Nothing like some solo dancing to shake away a bad mood and lousy day and make you feel good. Keep dancing, Maggie! :)
nice moves, maggie!
this made me smile. or it was the prosecco in my juice at breakfast or finding out my soon to be daughter’s orphanage bunkmate will be coming home with our close friends in town?
who cares?!?!?! fun all around!
Please tell me Camp Mighty has some sort of dance party component?
@Amy(Just A Titch) — Didn’t you know? Mighty Girl translates to “Dance Party A-Go-Go” in 50 languages! ;)
The moves are stellar, but how has no one commented on your DREAMY bedroom?! So polished and airy! Adore.
Aw, this made me smile – you’ve got the moves Maggie!
Do it, girl. So awesome!
DANG. Me doing that would be more robot than hip and a laugh riot: you make it look awzom. And whether or not it’s true for you, I can attest to the Divorce Weight-Loss Program and how weird it was to have everyone say “Wow you look fantastic!” when you’re dying slowly on the inside.
Girl, I’ve been feeling like dancing. Get it girl!
i just love this project! thanks so much for inspiring me to find some joy in my life every day! you look like you are having so much fun, i gotta get a dancing day in.
i started my own 30 day project, check it out :)

If this video doesn’t go viral, the internet is broken.
Okay Maggie, you obviously like to dance. I urge you to get thy booty to a Les Mills BODYJAM class pronto (it could be one of your fun things!)
It’s an hour long class full of cool moves to hot music (Les Mills classes are the only ones in the world that use music by the original artists instead of cheesy covers – they’ve even used that Missy song in the past)
It’s the most fun you can have exercising (also, it kicks Zumba’s ass…)
You can find gyms in San Francisco that have it here: http://www.lesmills.com/global/classes/find-a-class.aspx
And you can see a taster video here: http://www.lesmills.com/global/bodyjam/bodyjam-group-fitness-class.aspx. (Note: The music on the video is NOT indicative of what you get in class – music licensing prevents the actual class music being put online)
Seriously, you don’t need drugs when you do this class, it is mind altering in and of itself!
Wow…impressed…you should appear in Ellen…
Yay for dance parties! Maureen, you’re thinking of BandyToaster (Sophie Merry) from Ireland; one of my all time fave dance videos. Maggie’s excellent moves did make me think of her also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr2JneittqQ
This totally brightened my day. You have got seriously enviably moves! I’m definitely embarking on a 30 day project in a few days to lead up to my 36th birthday. Great suggestion!
This video makes me so happy. :) Awesome moves!
Inspired by the “Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon” mashup I watched this while listening to “Let Me Drown” by Soundgarden and it worked surprisingly well.
This is such a great idea. Thanks for being inspiring even in the midst of hard times. Plus, posting video of yourself dancing is awesomely brave. I think a 30 day project is in my future!
LOVE this.
Even when you are going through difficult times, you are a ray of sunshine. I love knowing I can always read your blog for some inspiration.
Keep on workin’ it, Maggie.
:)
This is really fun! You’re looking great! I think you inspired me to have my own dance party tonight, complete with some Missy E. LOVE HER!
Love this. And you.
I went to the Soul Train event in Chicago mentioned above on Saturday. I went by myself but when hundreds of people gasped in appreciation and joy when James Brown came on, I knew I wasn’t alone, and when I came back from a break and the dance floor was united in an epic electric slide, I knew I’d found my people.
