I’m coming to you live from our new house! 
I’m the only one here tonight which is nice. My patience was wearing a little thin lately. 
Sorry I’ve been missing for two days! My bloody phone line went dead on Sunday and I’ve been spastic ever since. 
Anyway… did anyone here see the movie Sahara? I haven’t seen it myself, but it’s based on a novel by Clive Cussler which I’m reading right now. I’ve only recently discovered Clive Cussler. I always thought I wouldn’t much enjoy men’s adventure type novels. Silly me. I love love love Dirk Pitt, the hero of the series. So far, besides Sahara, I’ve read Atlantis Found. And luckily for me, Cussler has written around 30 books, so there are lots of wonderful exciting new books for me to read! 
On the television front, for those of you who are watching General Hospital again, how about the latest surprise Blast From the Past? It isn’t Anna like we all suspected, but Holly!!!
And now, on to the Olympics Report!
Ice Dancing Original Program. Or as I’m calling it, The Night of a Thousand Falls. Out of 25 couples, at least five of them fell! And some of them were the top couples! The announcers said later it was like watching the Demolition Derby. LOL! And we had lots of ugly costumes, too. What a shocker!
The woman from Israel’s pair had a skirt that looked more suitable for Swan Lake. Feathers and all! Remember that hideous dress the singer Bjork wore to the Academy Awards one year? That looked like a dead swan? *g* That’s what this chick’s dress made me think of.
The guy from the top French team wore this headband thing that looked an awful lot like something from the disco era which went really well with the Latin tempo music. Not! 
The heartbreaker of the night was the team from Canada. They were awesome until their last lift spin. She lost her grip and slammed hip first into the ice. Luckily, she didn’t break anything, though she was afraid she had. But that was it for them. They didn’t participate last night.
Both of Italy’s teams fell. But the one that was the funniest, depending on your point of view, was the team of Fusar-Poli & Margaglio. She was SO pissed at him! She still wasn’t speaking to him at the start of last night’s Free Program! But more about that later. What a soap opera!
The Russian team of Navka & Kostomarov were very good, but her costume… let’s just say I’ve never seen any turquoise leopards on any wildlife shows, so I don’t think you should see turquoise leopard print on a costume. Especially when the skirt portion looked more like peacock feathers.
But Americans Belbin & Agosto? They brought the house down! 
Their program was sexy, hot, and put them in medal contention. (But I wasn’t wild about her costume. Detect a theme? LOL!)
Okay, I’m going to save the Free Skate until tomorrow. I’m getting tired of typing.
Oh no - I quit watching GH again - I also missed Tony’s death.
Yes, the “free” fall was something else - and our team looked good. The Italian teams little “tiff” was funny. Tonights skate was good.

Congrats on moving into your new home. Sounds great. I’ve never read Clive Cussler, I might have to try him…if I ever get my TBR down to a manageable size.

We have to get our TBR’s down to a reasonable size BEFORE we can buy new books? Well, guess that’s where I’ve been going wrong - no wonder it keeps growing:duh:
