I Need A Volunteer

Here's the deal, nearly 5 years ago now my very best friend in the whole world . . . my mom . . . passed away. The thing is, I have NO ONE to talk with about three VERY important things . . .

- The Westminster Dog Show

- Miss America

- Figure Skating

It's killing me!

The U.S. Figure Skating Championships start this weekend and I just realized I only recognize about 4 competitors names. This is unacceptable. My mother must be rolling over in her grave (well, not really, she was cremated, so that would make the 'rolling over' part a bit difficult). I HAVE to connect with someone I can share this with again!

Miss America is coming up in a couple of weeks, and there are all these lead in shows. I've already picked the top ten (mind you, I have a nearly flawless record in picking THE Miss America far in advace of the actual program). But once again, I have NO ONE to compare notes with, to be catty with, to just enjoy the whole experience with.

And Westminster - That's coming up in February. Again . . . I am in desperate need of someone who can talk about it . . . the amazing dogs, who should win Best In Show, and someone who can remind me of the name of the man who used to be the voice of the Westminster Dog Show . . . he died . . . just a few years ago . . . I loved his voice . . ohhhhh, who was that . . . SEE . . . I need a 'Mom'!!!

Any takers?

WELL . . . My own opinion on Miss America . . . Miss Illinois may be tough to beat! I really like Miss Utah, but I'm not sure she's taking it seriously enough. For the first time in years, I'm actually holding back on making a prediction on who will walk away with the crown.

Ordinarygirl, have you tried starting separate threads on these topics: The Westminster Dog Show, Miss America, Figure Skating? I think it is TMI for one thread but it is my opinion.

I wish I could discuss the shows with you but I rarely watch TV and I am an Internet junkie. Good luck!

When are the figure skating championships? Are they on TNT or TBS or similar? I've let the sport (yes, gentlemen, it IS a sport) get away from me and I will be happy to discuss it with you. (PS: Did you hear that Dorothy Hamill has breast cancer? Sad.)

I know what you mean, but if someone is going to be my volunteer "mom" . . . they need to know what they're getting into . . . ;0)

YEAH!!!

NBC will be covering it. While the early phases of competition begin on the 21st, it appears that the first televised event will be on the 26th beginning at 4:00pm.

I did hear about DH, she's a strong lady . . . I'm hoping she'll beat this!

How about Christopher Bowman?!? That one just shocked me. I guess he never got over his 'bad boy' behavior. Such a loss. He was an amazing skater!

Darn - I'll be in NYC on the 26th. If NBC continues coverage on the 27th, I'll watch.

And, I hadn't heard about Christopher Bowman. A waste. Great skater; seemed well-loved.

Male skater that excited me the most in the last bunch of years - Phillippe Candeloro. OMG.
