Hooked Again?

Dancing with the Stars just announced their season 11 line-up, and despite skipping last season due to lack of interest in the participants, I may have to check it out this fall...

• adult contemporary singer Michael Bolton
• R&B singer and actress Brandy
• comedian Margaret Cho
• former basketball player Rick Fox
• Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing
• David Hasselhoff from Baywatch
• Brady Bunch mother, Florence Henderson
• actor Kyle Massey of Disney Channel fame
• Bristol Palin, famous teen mom and daughter of Sarah Palin
• Audrina Patridge from some show I'm not interested in
• Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino from some other show I won't watch
  
• former football player Kurt Warner

The supermodel and the daytime soap star are missing, but it should be interesting to tune in again after a season off and see which of the pros came back.

I wonder if there will be another Star Wars marathon this weekend while I'm tying ribbons on bubble tubes...

Hamster Ball

From my husband, who knows me too well...

Been A While...

It's been a while since I've been in a real knitting mood, but I finally finished knitting a burp cloth today! Well, almost finished--I have a lot of ends to weave in before this baby set is ready for HistoryDiva's co-worker. Let's not even talk about the fact that the baby was born last month! Now where did I put the buttons she chose for the bib...

Isn't it an adorable set for a little boy? I love the green!

Doesn't everyone call it that?

Silent Star Wars

Too funny to not share...

I think an easy dinner one of my favorite comfort foods, spaghetti, and some quiet knitting time may be the best way to end this busy, hot, and emotionally draining week...

Embrace Life

I know I have been posting a lot of videos lately, but this one is a pretty cool British commercial from the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership encouraging people to wear their seatbelt. Enjoy!

Furry Favorites

I got a new cell phone in the mail today, so I'm clearing pictures off of my old phone. Here are a bunch of my favorites of pets past and present...

My hammie, R.B. "Arby" Hayes

Bad Romance

I brought this video up at book club, so I thought I should post it... it's fantastically funny, and these young men are so talented! They're from the University of Oregon's premiere all male a cappella ensemble, On the Rocks.
