The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. J.R.R. Tolkien

SYTYCD tour 2009

I'm hanging out at the ACC for the 2009 tour. I have floor seats, only 10 rows from the stage (the seats you can get when you are by yourself).

Walking into the platinum section I walked past the Canadian top 10. saw Vincent first, then, unfortunately, Emmanuel sandu.

Not as excited as I have been in years past. But looking forward to seeing Ade and Melissa dance Tyce's breast cancer routine. Also interested to see if what's her name is more impressive in person (geez I can't even remember her name she was so blah).

Timmy and Beelzebub

I headed to Goderich this weekend for a day of scrapbooking with my friends Sharon and Shannon. After scrapbooking Sharon, her daughter and myself broke out my Beatles Rockband. I took up the guitar this time since it's the hardest instrument in rockband and boy was i frustrated! I could not figure it out. After awhile we switched it up for a couple of songs, then I went back to the guitar and was so much better. Now, I'm still bad, but I was finally figuring it out.

After Sharon's daughter headed to bed, we switched to regular Rockband. Sharon took over the vocals and I picked up the drumsticks. We had sooooo much fun! We unlocked the rest of the songs that were left in the game to get to the end. Then we saw that we had only finished 50 of 63 songs. This didn't make any sense to us since we hadn't finished all the acts, but these were the 'bonus' songs. Bonus normally implies something good. These were anything but! I say that, but we had so much fun with those songs. Sharon was making up words and making me laugh so hard that I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing on the drums. But, the best was the last song. It was something like Timmy Lord of the Underworld. I thought for sure Sharon was making up the words, but she wasn't. It was the most hilarious thing I'd ever heard. Now, it may have seemed so hilarious because it was 2am!

SYTYCD Canada Season 2 again

I'm still not enjoying SYTYCD Canada very much. The dancers make quite a few mistakes and the judges still say they are awesome. I don't think there have been any routines yet that are memorable, which is too bad. That's what really makes this show so good - the routines that you can't forget. I'm watching tonight's show and I know there was a routine I liked, but I can't even remember what it was or who danced it. The dancers aren't really all that memorable yet. (And the Hustle was horrible!)

Too Much Planning

So, I think I planned the baby thing a little too much. Last year I went for all my tests and everything was fine. I then waited to actually start the DI process until I figured out when would be good for me. I was worried about money and making sure the timing worked. Well, I may have waited too long. I went in this week after picking the donor and my blood work came back indicating a problem. I'm hoping it is an anomaly and that next month everything will be fine. The clinic wants me to go back to see my doctor since it's been a year since my last tests. Of course, this meant that I went to worse case scenario. I'm rather worried that this now means I won't be able to have kids. I'm hoping I get much better news later this week.

Now, part of the problem is that the clinic is not very good at providing information (this seems to be the consensus in my support group). But, it is probably mostly because I waited too long. Fingers crossed that everything will be okay.
