I'm glad that FCA will represent at the master class! I can't wait to hear all about it.

{{{ldyjocelyn}}} Hang in there.

Congrats, Fear! Wow, it's Saturday morning and I have zero plans this weekend. That hasn't happened in a while. I like it.

Hee, that was a total stream of conciousness post LOL. Took me a few minutes to process.

Yeah, I'm happy too. BBML would be cool though. My daughter is going to come over and we will watch together.

Idol, seriously? What will he perform? I haven't watched Idol in years. I studiously avoid it. I'm not sure if I'm happy or not. But of course I'll watch!

Yeah, I always find it is better not to get my hopes up when Clay tweets about something vague...often times, his version of something exciting and mine are two different things. But it would be so cool if he was involved in one of those shows!

Oooh intriguing!!! More details Clay, pretty please?

So, do we know this Barbara Saylor? Wow.

I have ironed out the details of my NC trip in May. My daughter and I are going to drive as far as WV on the Monday, then continue on to Raleigh on the Tuesday. We have tickets for the Tuesday & Wednesday performances. Thursday we will hopefully visit with some NC friends and then head home Friday. My daughter has to be at work Saturday morning. I am hoping to get to gala in Charlotte this year but if I do it will be a whirlwind, fly in and fly out trip. I also have a skating event in October so I'm going to have to start saving if I want to be able to do both.....

I will have to rewatch that episode. I must have been half asleep. Thanks for the heads up, I distinctly remember that April Fools Day!

JPL is on The Voice? I must have missed him, shows how much I remember about him LOL. Was it last night's episode?

Thanks, everyone. I've never been so frustrated in my life...I would start to feel a bit better, go back to work, just to have to leave again and take a few more days off sick. I think my superiors were starting to think I was scamming them. I went to the doctor twice before I could convince him that I wasn't going to get better on my own! Really, I think he just wanted rid of me and prescribed an antibiotic without diagnosing anything specific. I am feeling fairly human today, back at work, with just a bit of a stuffy nose and a lingering cough. But man! What a doozy that was. Sorry for anyone else who's been through it. And of course, it's been snowing off and on all day today with windchill sitting at about -9 C. Come on spring!!!

Happy Easter to all. I wasn't sure I was going to be up to cooking a big meal today but it's one of my better days so I went for it. I'm still dragging around almost 4 weeks after I first got this cold/flu/bronchial/sinus infection (whatever the heck it is!) but I finally got some antibiotics and am hopefully on the mend. So I'm still here, still reading, and enjoying the pictures.

Fear, NBC will have a 2-hour taped highlights show on Saturday, March 23. Apparently Universal holds the TV rights in the US.

The Worlds competition doesn't actually start until Wednesday. Here we get televised coverage everyday, but not sure in the US as NBC doesn't normally show that much. If you get Universal Sports you are in luck though! Today I am going out for dinner with 7 ladies who are in town for the week, and then we are heading downtown to watch the unveiling of the light and sound show, projected onto the side of the arena. Monday & Tuesday I'll be freezing my butt off at practices all day.

Congrats fear! I may be MIA this week as I'll be going crazy running back and forth to the World Figure Skating Championships here in town, and trying to do everything else I usually do (except go to work, yee haw, I have the week off!) If you are watching, I'm in 2nd row, so no doubt will be on TV again. Of course, I've caught a chest cold just in time, but I'm hoping to nip it in the bud by Monday.

A co-worker just caught me sitting in my car bopping away to EIDN n the parking garage. I just smiled and waved. Hey, I can't turn off a good song just because I'm at my destination! {{{couchie}}}

What a cute pic.

Yesterday, one of the dogs had surgery, so we had to pick her up in the evening, and I ended up with a bunch of people staying for dinner. We did customs pizzas. So I started out listening at 7 pm, but I had so many things go on around me, and the sound (might just have been my laptop) was poor. The audio kept cutting in and out, and without headphones I wasn't really hearing it clearly. Because I had a houseful of people and stuff going on I eventually just shut it off. I am hoping that there will be a stream or a download so I can listen to it after-the-fact in a quieter time.

I would think that the OFC will have it up as a streaming link after the fact. I'm looking forward to listening in tonight.

Oh wow. Thanks for bringing that over.

What can I say, it's my second home. Looks like I'll be going twice this year! *fingers crossed about the hotel/flights*

I am thrilled to death that gala is in NC again! :)

Thanks, guys. The World Championships are being held right here in London, ON this year starting on March 11, so I am getting geared up for that. They are doing a lot of publicity already, and yesterday they had World & Canadian Champion Patrick Chan right up the street at the mall for a meet & greet & autograph session. Tomorrow, they are holding an outdoor skate in the park with members of our National team, so I might dig out the old skates and attend that as well.
