10. Hot spaghetti sauce popping out of a pan on the stove will cause minor second degree burns when it comes in contact with exposed skin.
9. Two hours is enough time to make it through the Baseball Hall of Fame, but not enough time to really enjoy it.
8. There are some interesting town names in PA, specifically Moosic and Frackville.
7. Vanilla soft serve dipped in chocolate=heaven. On a similar yet different note, heated swimming pools are a must and a godsend.
6. Three year olds have no concept of distance, as noted by K asking an hour into the trip "Are we there yet?"
5. Construction traffic sucks, big time.
4. The Herkimer Diamond Mines? Don't even bother! (that's a post for another day!)
3. There's something very Americana about people honking at you on the street. Especially when it's because they know you and not because you're in the way. :)
2. Small towns need more culturial diversity, badly.
1. While hanging with extended family is great, there's no place like home.
More specific details coming soon. I'm still catching up on email and my reader. :)

We're heading out today on a quick getaway to NY (Heather-90 min E of Syracuse!) to visit family.
Looking forward to sun, baseballs (if you think you can figure that one out :P), soccer balls (again, just think), and chilling with nothing to answer to.
Yup totally disconnecting, like I've been around here much anyway. ;P
Last week we said goodbye to Contemporary dancerAshley & Latin Ballroom dancerMax. Anybody else totes surprised by Max's departure? I know I sure was!
Mia Michaels choreographed last week's group number to Higher Ground by Sevie Wonder. Awesome! I love Mia's choreography almost as much as Shane's.
On with tonight's show! Toni Basil is this week's guest judge. Um, really?
Couple #1:Karla (Contemporary Jazz dancer) & Jonathon (Salsa dancer)-Dancing a Hip Hop routine, choreographed by Dave Scott, to By My Side by Jadakiss (feat. Ne-Yo)-- I thought she did better than he did, that's for sure. Nigel was a bit rough though. He totes got up on the wrong side of the bed.
M: Good!
Couple #2:Asuka (Latin dancer) & Vitolio (Contemporary dancer)-Dancing a Jazz routine, choreographed by Mandy Moore, to Heartbreaker by Pat Benetar-- That was hard to watch. She just looked uncomfortable and like she was just doing the moves. There was no real spark to her dancing. Nice abs on Vitolio though. :)
M: Energetic!
Couple #3:Melissa (Classical Ballet dancer) & Ade (Contemporary dancer)-Dancing a Rumba routine, choreographed by Tony Meredith, to Emotion by Destiny's Child-- Dang on the dress! I wish I could pull off wearing a dress like that! After watching that dance, I need a cigarette and I don't smoke! Whew! It was wicked sensual and just what a Rumba should be! And can someone please shut Mary and her screams up????!!!!
M: Opted not to watch this dance as she doesn't like Melissa. ????
Couple #4:Janette (Salsa dancer) & Brandon (Contemporary dancer)-Dancing a Hip Hop routine, choreographed by Dave Scott, to What A World by Common-- This has the potential for disaster written all over it. I'm thinking that was a failed flair there by Brandon, and if I'm right it was really bad. Overall it was good though. I was pleasantly surprised.
M: Energetic and good.
Couple #5:Kayla ( Contemporary/Jazz dancer) & Kupono (Contemporary dancer)-Dancing a Viennese Waltz routine, choreographed by Jean-Marc Generaux, to Sweet Dreams for You by Jewel-- Beautiful dress and a beautiful routine. They did a really great job for being partnered for the first time.
M: I really loved it.
Couple #6:Randi (Jazz/Contemporary dancer) & Evan (Broadway dancer)-Dancing a Contemporary routine (aka the butt dance), choreographed by Mia Michaels, to Koop Island Blues by Koop (feat. Ane Brun) -- That was really cute! They did a great job! They work so well together!
M: Good.
Couple #7:Caitlin (Contemporary ballet dancer) & Jason (Contemporary dancer)-Dancing a Paso Doble routine, choreographed by Jean-Marc Generaux,to O' Fortuna (from Carmina Burana) by Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg & Kurt Prestel-- Nice Princess Leia inspired costume. *Snort* It was good, but I've seen better Paso's on DWTS.
M: Ooo la la! Good job.
Couple #8:Jeanine (Contemporary dancer) & Phillip (Hip Hop dancer)-Dancing a Broadway routine, choreographed by Tyce Diorio, to Moses from Singing in the Rain-- Cute dance! I noticed Phillip's split pants and laughed so hard. :)
M: Swingy and jazzy!
I'm almost hesitant to pick faves and bottoms as my choices last week were so freaking wrong. I'll try though.
My faves of the night are: Melissa & Ade, Randi & Evan, and Jeanine & Phillip.
My pick for the bottom 3 pairs are: Karla & Jonathan, Asuka & Vitolio, and Caitlin & Jason.
