Bring it!

I skipped "Dancing with the Stars" tonight (even though the men were dancing the Quickstep) in favour of watching figure skating.

I was pleasantly surprised by the number of skaters TSN chose to show us. Two flights of ladies and almost 2 flights of pairs. Defending champs Joannie Rochette and Marcoux and Buntin were impressive. There is something so thrilling about a national competition that features not only world-level skaters but also those striving to skate their personal bests. Part of me (a big part) really wants to drive up to Ottawa to catch it live. I have to restrain myself. Must. Not. Go.

I did, however, get tired of watching the same commercial for Hershey's Kisses ad nauseum. I mean, the pair-skating kisses were cute the first 200 times I saw them, but enough is enough!

Back to "Dancing with the Stars", regardless of what happened tonight, my picks for the top 2 pairs are Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke, and Giselle Fernandez and Jonathan Roberts, with kudos to Jerry Rice for his outstanding effort. And how sorry do I feel for the adorable and talented Ashly, who got stuck with "Stompin'" Master P. He won't even wear dancing shoes!!!
