It is no secret that I am addicted to a fan of reality TV.
One of my favorite shows, Dancing With The Stars ended this week.
It was a great season, and I was thrilled that this fabulous pair took home the coveted mirror ball trophy.
Oh bloggy friends, did you see that girl dance? She was one of my clear favorites since the start of the season, although if I’m being honest, my money (if I had any) would have been on Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Misty May-Treanor.
Lucky for me I don’t gamble, because I would have lost my butt.
And, really losing my butt wouldn’t be such a bad thing, if it meant truly losing some of the junk in my trunk. And if that were to happen, you should believe me when I say I would take the dancing world by storm.
For our ninth anniversary (2007), McDaddy planned a weekend getaway for us, and purchased two tickets to attend Dancing With The Stars – The Tour. McDaddy is a good man because he would choose having a tooth pulled over watching reality TV any day of the week, yet, he did all this for me. He scored mega-points with those tickets, proving that he’d do just about anything for love.
I watch the show each week and dream of being a dancer. From the sexy seduction of the Rumba, the fun-flirtatious moves of the cha-cha and the swinging moves of the jive, I love it all!
In my next life, I hope to have the coordination to pull off a fox-trot (don’t you just love that word?) because in this life I am probably the biggest klutz you will ever meet.
On that night though, I was perfectly content to sit in section 110 of the Bobcat Arena in Charlotte, NC with my camera in hand and my own dancing partner in the seat beside me. With excitement, I watched as the dancers made their way across the floor in their bright sultry costumes. I tapped my toe to the beat of the live band which provided the only entertainment for McDaddy as he endured the two-hour show.
The cast danced to a variety of songs ranging from Singin’ In the Rain to Save A Horse, Ride a Cowboy. Drew Lachey was fantastic. And so was Joey Fatone. I held my breath hoping that the 2007 champion, Apollo Anton Ohno would make a surprise guest appearance, but no such luck for this girl this weekend.
I still enjoyed the show. I was impressed with the dancers, both professional and amateur. Their costumes, the live music and, the choreography came together to create a wonderful, entertaining show.
I enjoyed it so much, it inspired me to purchase the Dancing With The Stars Cardio Dance Workout Video.
Oh yes I did.
It’s not pretty, but I get it done.
I have added ballroom dancing to the list (yes, another list) of things I’d like to learn someday. Maybe by then I will have found a truckload of grace and coordination. Right now, the only place I find either of those is in the dictionary. I will continue to be a loyal fan of the show. When the announcer says…. “Dancing the fox-trot with her professional partner, Hottie Maksim Chmerkovskiy, is Princess Julie. And Maks, on the off chance that you happen to drop in on the blog, you should know that I will not be an easy student. I’m klutzy and uncoordinated. Still yet, I’d be a great partner who’d be more than willing to learn and a sure-bet to make the ratings soar.
Until then, I’ll dance with my own star in our bedroom to the sounds of my new-fangled clock radio belting out the sounds of Shania Twain’s – From This Moment, or maybe George Strait’s - I Cross My Heart. When I’m dancing in his arms, I’m perfectly content with my costume, the music and the choreography of my life. I’ll probably never be a star on Dancing With The Stars, but my life partner is the perfect partner for me and I’m glad he’s mine.

You’re both blessed.
