Dancing

I have been watching Dancing With the Stars on Monday nights.  This was something I could never get into before, but I have enjoyed watching these past few weeks.  I don't get around to watching the Tuesday night part though so I learned this morning from a peek at Good Morning America that this week's elimination was a "shocker" for the judges and the eliminated couple.
Personally, I did not enjoy the performance of the booted dancers--costume and choreography bordered on soft-core porn in my opinion so am glad that they weren't rewarded for it.  I'm not really that much of a prude, but there were much classier dances and touching stories told through them.
Now, I have to admit that I am not much of a Nancy Grace fan and I thought her performance was a bit of a yawn, but did you see the shot of her little girl clone?  Was that kid seriously up past her bedtime or was she just plain scary?  Movie trailers like "I see dead people," and "They're heeere," popped into my head.
Sorry...I do not like to let my inner mean girl come out to play very often, but sometimes she just insists.

    I'm clueless about Dancing with the Stars and don't care for Nancy Grace.

    I've been enjoying the back stories. They are featuring real people, not just photoshopped glamour stars. It's pretty mindless, as I'm happy to veg in front of the TV!

    I have seen a lot of scuttlebutt on Dancing with the Stars on facebook today. I don't watch it, but it all sound interesting. I think that part of the reason people like reality t.v. and such is because it allows the mean girl to come out. Hey, sometimes we just feel like being a little mean and catty.

    I watched the first season of DWTS faithfully but have only had spotty views since. Just haven't been wild about the "star" choices.
    I am content with the GMA snippits the next day.
    I never liked Nancy Grace motionless, pretty sure dancing would not be an improvement.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
