I loved tonights Dancing W/the Stars show.. I even voted on line-under several sign in's--shhh heehee.I had to vote for Marie- I LOVED the Oprah show-I had tears in my eyes the entire Oprah show. What a wonderful family & a testament to those extrodinary parents to have raised such an amazing wholesome family. (Not like the Hilton-Spears bimbo's & their embarrassing behavior & antics)--Can we discuss Social Graces? ok another time. I digress... I dont often get to sit down & watch tv...but w/DH out of town, I seem to be able to get the house cleaning done & all the other household chores-like polishing & laundry, floors, bathrooms & dogs & children-schooling & meals & I seem to have `time'...HMMMM this isfacinating .....
I thought I would be busier being alone--and I was the 1st week. Well I must admit much of my `problems' were dervied by me..the burning of herbs--I thought could be `looked at' as an old biblical sacrifice...??no??American Indian smudging? Tho I do partake in the ritual of smudging it is not with Rosemary-hahah-but we will leave my tails of smudging for another time. Now a week later my `herbal burning'story has passed thru my family with much amusement. My dad, a fireman for most of his life-discussed with my DH that he was a tad surprised that I did not KNOW to CLOSE THE OVEN DOOR.
(NOTE for future: this smothers the fire) BUT in my defense & after much discussion & the many variables I had that raced thru my mind in the immediate 1st seconds-like where am I living? How is this oven powered?gas-propane-electric? (Note:inthe last 12 years we have lived in 5 states in 6 different new homes with very different OVENS)..and this fancy oven now has all these push buttons & special grill & DOWN DRAFT VENT..which was ON & accelerated the fire )..so the `closing the door' is now questionable. So many modern advances cause us to need to REthink what we were raised knowing.
BTW I will share a little known fact about me- I had a career as a dancer-yes-this is true-- after my son died I held 2 full-time jobs & many more part time jobs to pay for the birth-delivery & funeral & divorce expenses -I was a costumed dancer in a upscale Chicago nightclub..this is true..(they had a photographer who took hundreds of pictures)2 handsome gay men were my parnters & we danced center stage to prepared dances & then danced on platforms on the edge of the dance floor-a little know secret to make patrons more comfortable & encourage danceing-then they drink more & thats where the club makes money. We had multi-colored flashing lights,smoke machines-& great DJ that was the top hotmixer in the city. I was paid & got free drinks so it was a paycheck & a way to `party' and not get in trouble. SO I understand dancing & preparation. I have great admiration for all the stars & their dance partners. I voted for Marie & Helio... I gave more votes to Marie. Come on-a mother, a sweet person, excellent entertainer and she is my age. Helio is just FUN to watch--what a zest he has. Thats my voting. Because they are fun & deserving and I just like them best.
I had an enjoyable time-crocehting. Tho I got about 20 minutes b4 my `interruptions' dogs in & out-the child drawing pictures & telling the matching stories....
Heres to our favorite Stars winning...

I was torn last night. Since Jane is off, I voted Marie and Cam and even gave one to Jennie, because they were so mean to her. I figure everyone loves Helio and the other lady - forget her name at this moment. So they will get votes. Cam is so sweet and tries so hard. Jennie was just building her confidence and they tear her down like that. She did a good job. Marie - well, I just love her. I liked the cowgirl dance best. They say to use multiple accounts so I used all mine I could think of. LOL
