Let's Dance!

My parents have never been big television watchers. They considered it a waste of time. Now don't go thinking they were professors or brainiacs. Nothing like that. They just didn't grow up with it and are from the old school that "one should be doing something productive" all the time. That meant work. Housework, yardwork, schoolwork.

My mother's idea of productive usually involved a vacuum of some kind. She has several. Got to have the right tool for the job. Canister, upright, dustbuster....you name it and she can suck it up. That didn't sound right.

This attitude is what makes this so funny. My mother has fallen head over heels with the show Dancing with the Stars. She even calls me during the show so we can discuss the finer points of Jerry Springer's audience appeal or Emmit's dancing ability. She really loves Slater....er, I mean Mario Lopez. Okay, I admit, I could dive into those dimples of his too and his butt looks awfully good in spandex.

I like that my mom has found a "hobby." Even if it is something as worthless as watching t.v. It's better than sucking...with the vacuum.

Hey, did anyone else totally love the new Lost episode!! I predict that Jack and Juliette will be getting it on soon. And, why are the Other's keeping the Lostees as such arm's length? So much we do NOT know!!!
