Not sure about elimination. Is this a two night opening again, so we are guessing who is going home on Tuesday? Early bird finale pick is Nyle/Peta, Ginger/Val and Lindsay/Wanya. Paige/Mark for top of leader board this week. Geraldo to go home. He seems really fit though, but I trust the sister's unanimous views on that. Thanks Luv for doing the score keeping. I think you deserve a prize for doing it!
Jet, those quilts are beautiful. All of them! I used to do quite a bit of dress making with my Grandmother. There is unfortunately nothing left that would have made it to the other side of the world with me. I do however have her dressmaker's scissors, which I guard just like she did. Some for thin fabric, others for thick fabric and you observed that religiously!!
Hi Gabriele, I am not sure if this is a two nighter or not. Anyone? What we are doing is guessing who we think will go home before the show airs and then again after we see them dance, so we might have two different names in the column or maybe the same one. This is for the premier night only. Every other week we will guess after seeing them dance.
I am glad to help View out. It has been kind of fun, even if it is a little intimidating. lol

Re: New Year - New Beginnings
Hi, all! Spending our last night in NYC. We'll leave tomorrow before the snow hits.
Yes, that's me from Tuesday, Gabriele! I'm nothing if not stubborn. Fortunately, since the surgery I have felt very little pain, just a little achiness. They gave me a funky, black metal arm brace that I could lock at any angle or leave unlocked (like those big things people wear on their knees). I wore it during all my lessons so I wouldn't be tempted to go for a movement that I should do when I am not yet able to. The instructors were all sweethearts. As soon as they knew I was ok, they really made me work hard, but they were always very careful of my arm.
Poor Serge got the worst of it because the session he coached was the very first time I ever moved with that thing on my arm. It probably weighs 3-4 lbs., so my balance was a bit off, and I felt very awkward. But he was so nice and also made me work. I ended up doing 4 lessons on Tuesday and Wednesday, and 3 the other 3 days. I had a little trouble in the 3rd hour on Tuesday because of the weight of the brace. The muscles in my shoulders and back were screaming, like when you have to hold your arms horizontal for an extended period of time. Imagine doing that while holding a big can of tomatoes.
From then on, I took an Advil just before the lesson started and I didn't use my left arm unless absolutely necessary. It was really good practice for leading when we could only connect with my right/his left hand.
I think as soon as I start PT, I'll get better quickly. If I can get back in the pool, I think I can work the arm, too. The doctor says I can't "soak" it for another week although I can shower. I certainly am motivated to follow through with PT. I just want to be able to drive again. And hook my bra myself! Everything else I can cope with or do without.
Happy Quilt Day, Jet & Gunner. Those pictures are so beautiful.
Back to work, and I want to get all packed tonight except what we need, even though we don't have to be off too early, and it is Sunday. Should be home by 6 p.m. or so tomorrow night.

Sorry, I had to use this. I haven't laughed so much in a long time.

Jet. I feel like I didn't know of you mother's passing. I'm so sorry. Just this past Christmas?

Glad that you had such a great time, even if you did have to "improvise" a few things. Glad we all got to see such a happy person in your picture.
