Stuff Part II

Dancing With the Stars: Shawn Johnson WINS!

I didNOT see that coming. Just knew it was Gilles. OK, I woulda been OK with Shawn winning, being a fellow Iowan and all. Honestly, I didn't think she had that big of a chance.

Wrong.

Congrats to Shawn for her DWTS trophy. Alittle something more sparkle go with her gold from Beijing.

Just something about those Iowa girls.

Do Si Do Don't

I didn't miss the finals of Dancing With the Stars. I missed DANCING in the Dancing With the Stars finals.

All three freestyles didn't thrill me much. Do believe Gilles was bestest--even if he did dance to 'Flashdance.' Then fellow Iowan Shawn who turned it up a notch, while Dallasite Melissa lost some. Quite disappointed I am. Don't care much for all the tricks and such. A good, clean dance would have done me well. Nonetheless, I'll be smack dab in front of the TV for announcement of the winner!

Which I think should be Gilles-oh, what a feeling. Yep, so I quote the "Flashdance" song.

I digress.

Had no idea who Gilles Marini was when this DWTS season started. Folks said Gilles was in the Sex and the City movie. Well, I didn't ever watch the series, so didn't see the movie. I may have to see it NOW. Gilles is Handsome and handsome some more!

If I go to France, will I find a man like Gilles?

Stay tuned.

Right Foot Forward

Had today off. LOVED IT. Had to go get POKED. That's what I call my Coumadin check--to make sure my blood isn't too thick or too thin, for my mitral valve. It's all routine now. I realized again, how blessed I've been to not have any set back from the little open heart work done in 2006. My scar does remind me--daily.

Had to get gas, twas only a buck 65. To think that's cheap. Planned to send my stuff to my Tax Guy. Forgot the envelope at home. Will do tomorrow. Popped me some corn, pet a cat, looked at the trash I need to put curbside, as time ticked to:

I only reality show with DWTS and American Idol. That's about all I can handle. Happiness will run through me until May. About the time Spring Fever really sets in and I wanna do other things on my weekday night. In the meantime...

I never was much of a Go Go's fan, but Belinda Carlise and I are same age and AARP membership invitees-so I'm not ready to see her Go Go. Football is my thing, yet Laurence Taylor didn't quite get a first down tonight. That guy from Jackass? What's his name again? Actually was impressed.

Plus gymnast and fellow Iowan, Shawn Johnson, was very good. And that Gilles guy--who is he? Sex in the City? Never saw the movie, because I never watched the show...sorry. Yummy he was. David Allan Grier was tough and tasty in that green tux. Impressive. The founder of Apple..bless him for stepping out there. Just vote for him because he tried and he's likable. And I don't know anything about rap, yet Lil Kim delivered. I only knew her from going to prison.

However, the dancer who impressed me most, was the jilted one: Melissa from The Bachelor. So very graceful and she knows ballet. Love me some ballet. Right now, she's got the better gig. I don't watch The Bachelor, and really didn't know who she was.

Sure, I left out other dancers tonight. There's a reason. They tried--yet the ones listed stood out for me! And Karina barely had enough doily to call what she had on a costume.

So we'll see what happens next Monday. In the meantime, gotta put out my trash, then try to cram in today's episode of the Young and the Restless: WHEN is Kay going to regain her memory??? And Sharon is being such a....well, when she turns up pregnant, which one of the 3 men will be the daddy? Stay tuned.

I'd be great in the waltz..1...2..3...Dance!
