DWTS and stuff

So I have to tell you, I haven't been watching the dancing too much this season but did watch the two hour finale last night.  Did anyone else think that Whitney was ready to fall off her shoes?  I found she didn't move much or put much effort into the whole thing.  The first song her upper lip was drenched in sweat before she even started.  I don't know I was pretty disappointed in her performance.   I was glad to see Donny win and loved when he sang Puppy Love and belted it out along with him.  Memories from childhood when my sister and I would sing all of his and David Cassidy's songs.  Hey, they should get him and Shawn on the show....

So onto stuff,  well winter is upon us.  No snow yet but plenty of rain.  We have the palm tree wrapped as well as our other semi-tropical plants and hope for the best they survive the winter.
Hubby is gone to Thailand to get some dental work done and check our accommodations for our upcoming trip in the new year. The price of the flight and all the dental work is cheaper then what he would pay here for one root canal and crown.
So after Nevada and I drop him off at the airport we head to IKEA which happens to be like 5 minutes down the road.  We wander through the store for what seems like hours and end up buying only two packs of whiteboard markers.  There was absolutely nothing there that caught my eye.  Not a napkin, not a plate, not a candle, not a chair absolutely nothing nada zip.
So we decided to head to a larger mall on the way home.  Same thing happens again we can't find anything .  We ended up buying a couple pack of iron-on stickers for t-shirts.  Big city outing and we come home with under $10 bucks worth of stuff 
With the Hairball gone right now I guess that leaves me to put the xmas lights up outside by myself.  After the cleaning gutter experience I figure the lights are all going to be about 5'6"  off the ground at most

Happy Turkey Day to all
