Here is a picture from the website.

CONGRATULATIONS on the award!
ReplyDeleteI may have to tune into this season's DWTS. It's been awhile since I've watched, but you're right, Bill Nye is hard to resist!
I love Coke... I'm really quite dependent. I must have one every day or I get a headache!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Congrats on the award and THANK YOU for nominating me! I'm so excited! I can't wait to post about this next week :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get excited about DWTS.. I tried, but couldn't. I do know who the "cast" is this season and it does sound pretty interesting-- Bill Nye, the Science Guy.. dancing.. Hmmm! LOL

I loved reading your answers! And I had no idea that Bill Nye was going to be on Dancing with the Stars - the former science teacher in me may need to watch it now!
ReplyDeleteOMG no coffee? I wish I knew how to survive without it! And I love your "adopted" kitty - mine is that big too and that makes them so much more huggable!
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched Dancing with the Stars the last few seasons but I think Bill Nye will bring me back to that show. I loooved watching Bill Nye the science guy in school!
ReplyDeleteAlso, your Dad's cat Morris is freakin' ADORABLE!
