So You Think You Can Dance!!



Most of you don't know how wonderful my husband is. He can seem kinda brass and uncaring, but he honestly thinks of me and what I want over what he wants most of the time.



There is a summer dance program on Fox that picks 20 people from thousands to have a dance-off and narrow it down to "America's Favorite Dancer". I love this program!! Jerry can't stand it! He will tape it for me every week, but won't even stay in the room while I watch it. (I actually like that better because I don't have to listen to the comments about how stupid the dances are -- "that's not dancing" "what do they think they are doing" etc etc) After they declare the winner, the top 10 dancers go on tour around the country. My sister, Alisha, said that she and Matt went last year and it was wonderful. Well, I mentioned this several times to Jerry how fun it would be to watch the tour. I never really thought we would go because .... he hates the show. I came home from work last week and guess what??? Two tickets to the SYTYCD tour in KC, and the great thing .... it happens to fall on my birthday! What a great gift. He's so much better than I about birthday gifts. He's two months early. (I ordered his gift in March for his May birthday and it still hasn't gotten here, yet!)

Later, he did mention that if I would like to ask a friend to go with me, that would be ok with him. He did say he would go, IF I wanted him to.

I am so excited!! I can't wait to go!!! check out the website and check out the winner!http://soyouthinkyoucandance.com

Who me? I'm innocent!!?!!!


Does this look like a dog that would pee on it's master? If you answered no .... think again! Thank goodness that Grissom doesn't think of me as his master because he hasn't peed on me... yet. We were taking Grissom for a ride in the car and for some reason he likes to sit on our shoulders. I went into a store and when I came out Jerry was ticked off. He said that he and Grissom were having a good ole time and then all of the sudden he felt something warm on his shoulder and running down his arm. The worst part -- Jerry said -- was having to smell it all the way home. Needless to say, Grissom hasn't gone for any car rides since then.


The sad thing was the next night Grissom and I were playing on the bed and Jerry came and sat down on his side of the bed and Grissom went directly over there and peed on his side of the bed. I had just taken him out to go potty too!!! Who knows what this dog is up to. It amazes me because I'm the mean one and Jerry's the nice one ... go figure!

Oops!

Please ignore the spelling errors ... I can't figure out how to change it. I'm still learning please don't be offended! Love you all!

Oh, I forgot to tell you of Jerry's favorite part of the whole deal. He got his beloved Satellite dish. He has talked about this for 5 long years! We weren't able to have one at the apartments, but now we do! Great for Jerry, bad for Pam .... I can't figure out how to run the stupid thing. Oh well, I don't watch too much tv and when I do Jerry has taped it for me.

What a week!!




When the landlord aproached us about moving "as soon as possible" I'm not sure if he remembered that I clean his apartments when tenants move out. Usually there are only a handful to clean, but this year there are about 20. Of course we on a time schedule because tenants will be moving in soon. Well, it's this big production because the painter has to go in and paint, then we go in behind him and then the carpet cleaner comes in the next day. So ... if he has us scheduled to clean two apartments in one night after work and after wed night activities at church ... it gets late. So, thanks to Jerry most of the boxes got unpacked or at least moved into "my room" (the craft room) to figure out what to do with them. As you can see, there are still lots of boxes in the garage. Oh, I LOVE our garage. After next week all the apartments will be cleaned and then I will be able to start on our home! We love the house, there are a few quirks we could live without, like not running the microwave, can opener, rice cooker etc., on the same breaker as the refrigerator -- that sure limits us, but we will work it out! :) Grissom loves his new digs too. Please plan to come visit ... we have plenty of room!
