Thanks for the heads up, lulu. I love ice dancing. It has always been my favorite of the different categories.

Stay warm and cozy tomorrow. My area of Jersey is expecting 3-6 inches of snow.

The snow blower is ready to go!

Hi, Donna! Ice dancing is my favorite too! I also enjoy Johnny and Tara as commentators.

Stay warm and dry (and safe)!

Hi faeriemoon,

I enjoy Johnny and Tara as well.

I have the staples necessary for a snow storm.....Bailey's, chocolate, chips and dip and margarita fixings. LOL

Yay!! You covered all the food groups!!

{#emotions_dlg.laugh} What can I say, I am thorough.

I remember those Russian ice dancers very well....Klimova and Ponomarenko, B&B (they were so over the top dramatic) and Usova and Zhulin to name a few.

I very much enjoyed some of the pairs from the past. A few of my favorites were G&G, and Underhill and Martini.

We'll be housebound tomorrow too.

Klimova (that red hair) and Ponomarenko were my FAVORITES. (1992 Olympics)

Do you remember the fights between Maya Usova and Pasha (Oksana) Grishuk (the chick with the purple skates)? The saga.

Thank you so much for the information! We've got the DVR set to go; we love watching the skating and Johnny and Tara are great commentators.

Went to the grocery store and stocked up with goodies from the liquor store; love my Bailey's!


Hi HisElk,

I did the same thing. lol

Ahhhh, yes, priorities LOL. Plus the fact that it could be a very long weekend with a 19 and 21 year old here. Hey, I love them very much, but it sure does make for what makes the house seem smaller at times, especially when snowed in.

Enjoy your goodies!


I remember when my son was in high school and the kids were here during a snow storm. They would walk over and spend the day/night here. They would eat me out of house and home. lol I live in a small house, and yes, it got smaller when it snowed. lol

I love figure skating but not too happy about the hosts. I think the one looks ridiculous most of the time.

I just read an article that Tara and Johnny are more honest than skating commentators in the past. They will state when someone s playing it safe or lacking artistic content. They are not so much""homers."" I like them both.
