Nov. 24th, 2009 10:40 pmI got to sleep in today. I do love Tuesdays. I did have a pretty ordinary morning, nothing too special going on. But I did get to sleep in.
After lunch Mama and I went for a walk, so I figured we might as well go to the store to pick some ingredients for my annual cranberry/orange muffin cake. I’m making two tomorrow – one to take with me to Bear’s house for Thanksgiving and one for my parents. I picked up some milk, flour, an orange (which I made sure to tell Papa not to eat) and the disposable baking bread form that I always forget the name off.
On the way back we saw our neighbor kids, Alexis and Andrew, just get back from school. So they ended up coming to our house to do their homework and hang out. They got too much energy and can’t sit still. Still it was fun to have them around, I always feel like a kid myself. They did their homework and then I gave them some art supplies and they had a little art competition. We also played a little uno. Then my head got heavy for some reason. I just drank water, just in case, and send them home after a while. Maybe the weather is changing. I’m just pretty much just ignoring my head. We hung out for about two hours, I don’t think I have the energy for more, but it was fun.
SYTYCD. This was one fun night for me. I always forget this show is on until about 6pm and I check to see what’s on TV. (I’m conditioned for it to be on in the summer) But I love this show once it starts and today was especially good choreography and dancing. There were 12 routines, two per couple, so there was little filler and much dancing. My favorite couple is Jakob and Ashleigh and they hit both their dances: a Sonya’s jazz and a cha-cha. They are just beautiful. Ashleigh certainly won me over in the last five weeks. Ryan and Eleanor are my second favorite couple and they had a good night too with a lindy-hop and a broadway. They always get into character well. Legacy and Kathryn are third for me and while their waltz was alright, their Sonya’s jazz was awesome. Now that Mia is not choreographing this season, Sonya took over in originality. The other three couples are OK but I’m not really invested in them. Russell and Noelle had an ok samba but a great Tyce contemporary. Nathan and Molly still dance like two little kids and their hip-hop was alright while their can-can (yes, can-can) was a lot of fun. Karen and Victor had a nice tango but a really sucky hip-hop. Overall, I enjoyed most of the dances and will probably vote for Jakob/Ashleigh and Ryan/Eleanor. Yes, I actually vote sometimes.
