I am getting into full panic mode at this point. The show starts in just a few days – and I am seriously wondering why on earth I agreed to do this! They say that if you have a horrible practice before a big performance that it’s a sign that your performance will be good. If that’s really the case – then I ought to SHINE, SHINE, SHINE! I was supposed to be at QVC this week presenting my very cool new Christmas crafts, however, I had to be in Los Angeles doing press for DWTS. I REALLY wanted to show you these crafts – so if you get a chance, click over on QVC’s website to my crafts so you can get an early start on holiday décor for your home. Also on iqvc – something that I put my whole heart and soul into (as well as many sleepless nights so that I could finish before starting with DWTS!) . . . my brand new Christmas album. Exclusive to QVC – is my “Magic of Christmas” CD with a bonus CD, featuring 5 additional, exclusive tracks. You can reserve a copy right here on iqvc! OK – back to “Dancing with the Groaning” . . I mean, “Stars”! Can I tell you how sore I am? One thing I’m learning about dancing at my age, (old!), is that it’s been even LONGER since I used most of these muscles! It’s pathetic! Jonathan and I finish going through our dance – and he’s carrying on a conversation; not sweating; and barely breathing any different from before we danced. I, on the other hand, am sprawled out on the floor; toweling my face off so the perspiration doesn’t run on the floor; and gasping for air! And did I mention there is a camera documenting all of this? UGH! In between all the moaning and groaning . . . I took these photos so you could enjoy the ride with me:

Keep up the good work and I am asking for your Christmas album in my stocking for Christmas!!So glad you are using that beautiful voice of yours. <br>Dolly Hugs,<br>Linda Q aka the doll Poem Lady

Dear Marie. Gee, thanks a lot!! I'm sitting there, minding my own business. Watching the new season premiere of Dancing With The Stars and 'ZAP', there you are....Making us fall in love with you all over again. And to have you back in our homes again is an absolute joy. You were lovely on the dance floor and I look forward to watching you grow over these next weeks. If smiles alone were all it took in win, you'd be carrying that mirror ball trophy home today! I really mean that it is a treat to see you again. You've retained that sense of humor and, as always, you absolutely radiate the joy of experiencing new things in life and you include your fans on your journey. That's what sets you apart. May I say now what I've wanted to say for too many years, THANK YOU, MARIE OSMOND, FOR BRINGING JOY TO OUR LIVES. I have no shame in saying 'Heck, yeah, I'm a fan'. It's people like you who make our suns shine a lot brighter. Thanks again. Your fans will be watching. All the best to you.

Well, I am 46... grew up with you. You are amazing! You go girl for all of us over 45. Just think about Jane.....56 WOW! O.K. you got me thinking about parts of my body that has not moved for some time. I am sore just "thinking" about moving them. ha, ha. You did fabulous, have confidence in yourself and have fun.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Tammy Musetti on 9/27/2007 7:36 AM
Your dance was graceful and you looked like you were having a really great time. If you were in pain it didn't show...tee hee...keep up the great work...looking forward to your Christmas C.D...Santa Rosa, CA

Marie, I'm a divorced mother of four children, close to your age and have followed your career since the Donny and Marie show. I'd like to start off by saying, you made me proud last night. As a matter of fact, you've made me proud your entire career. I can only image how rewarding and sometimes not so rewarding your career has been. I'm sure the public scrutiny has been hard to bear at times. None-the-less, you've always handled your self with such class and grace and that pretty much sums up your appearance on Dancing with the Stars last night...grace and class(with a bit of humor). I'm routing for you as always. You're one fine performer, woman, and mother. Most sincerely, Terri Smith San Ramon, California

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Steve on 9/27/2007 7:37 AM
Despite the conditioning....you still looked great and haven't missed a beat yet....and looked great as always! Keep it up and good luck! :-)

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Deb on 9/27/2007 7:38 AM
Marie - don't let anyone fool you - you looked wonderful last night and you brought your own style to DWTS. At the age of 53 I took up horseback riding after a very loooong hiatus. There were days when my eyelashes hurt! Keep up the twinkle toes..

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Sydnee on 9/27/2007 7:59 AM
You were so good on DWTS!!!!! Your dress was so beautiful and you were extremely funny, keep practicing so you can win it all!!!!!!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Lisa on 9/27/2007 7:39 AM

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Ronald Reynolds on 9/27/2007 7:40 AM
Hi Marie,<br>I loved your performance last night and you will be getting all my votes this year. I met you a couple years ago at the Atlanta Gift show and I was just so impressed by how friendly and gracious you were with everyone. Your smile and positive attitude inspires all of us.<br>Good luck!<br>Ronald<br>Kannapolis, NC

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Rhonda Scragg on 9/27/2007 7:41 AM
Marie,<br> You are adorable and I so admire you for taking on "Dancing with the Stars" at a time when you are enduring such personal heartache. You certainly have not only my votes but also my respect.<br>You Go, Girl!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By annie on 9/27/2007 7:41 AM
I will always vote for you. And continue to buy every album you make. You are quite an inspiration!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Jim on 9/27/2007 7:45 AM
Marie, I love you as I loved you when you were sweet sixteen!<br><br>You can punch me in the stomach anytime!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Sandy on 9/27/2007 7:45 AM
I think you did a great job! Just let loose and have a good time.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Dawn Fowler on 9/27/2007 7:45 AM
Marie...Hang in there and keep your chin up! You can do anything you put your mind to! You did great the first night and I have faith that you will continue to improve. Don't be so hard on yourself. Your drive in inspiring, so keep it up and it will pay off. :)

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Sydnee on 9/27/2007 7:46 AM
I just wanted to say that I love how your dress was the most modest one and that you would say "Oh my heck" instead of swearing, your a real role model. Thanks!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Patti on 9/27/2007 7:46 AM
Marie, you are great. I am 49 so I understand "feeling old". You inspire me to do something for myself.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Maria on 9/27/2007 7:46 AM
Oh, Marie...you were amazing!! You've always been one of my favs...such a light on that stage! Keep that smile in its rightful place and I'll keep looking for you on DWTS!!! You go girl!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Pam on 9/27/2007 7:47 AM
You have my vote, you go girl, and keep right on dancing, and don't worry about the sweat and the soreness. You're doing this on behalf of other women who are feeling their age (hesitantly) and who would not have the guts to get out there and try it! Way to go, I think you are doing great!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Strass on 9/27/2007 7:48 AM
Marie, you were wonderful and You're still there so you are doing someting right. LOL Love ya, I can't wait to get the christmas CDs. Thanks for all the years of enjoyment.<br><br>Steve

You have what it takes to be a wonderful ballroom dancer.

Marie, I thought you were wonderful and of course you have my vote the whole ride of the show. I love your spirit, your way of showing that life is fun and you just have such an aura about you that is truly enlightening. Hopefully everyone sees that each time you get on that dance floor! I watch you on QVC whenever you're on and always find you to be the most sincere and fun-loving person. I'd love to meet you in person someday! I'm 38, so I remember you as a child and I'm so glad you decided to do this DWTS show. It shows the rest of the world out there that anything you set your mind to is possible. YOU GO GIRL!!! Looking foward to seeing you next week. BEST OF LUCK!!!! Love ya! Elisa

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By B on 10/4/2007 11:28 AM
Marie, congratulation on your success and the dancing. You have such momentum going for you right now which is great! Any chance of a biography? You possess great heroic qualities and what a read it would be! Best of luck and take care!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By john on 10/4/2007 11:28 AM
Marie, Regardless of the outcome of your dance competition you will, as you always have been, a star. Your beauty, dignity, and character have been very refreshing in the midst of the declining entertainment industry. It is great to see you perform again. You have my deepest admiration and respect.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By TJ on 10/4/2007 11:33 AM
Hi Marie,<br> Lots a luck on the show! Has anyone asked you to marry them lately? I drink beer, gamble and watch sports every day on TV.... but I'm a lot of fun. Interested?<br>I'm 49, goodlooking, single and don't know why???

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Karen on 10/4/2007 11:28 AM
I have to tell you I admire you, your truly an inspiration to all of your (middle aged) fans who remember you while we were growing up also. It is awesome to see how talented you are, and how you seem to be making the best of each week. I hope you go all the way. I'll be watching

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Kelly on 10/4/2007 11:27 AM
Marie!<br>You are such a lovely person. I just love you on 'Dancing'. Way to represent UTAH. Woot Woot!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Josie on 10/4/2007 11:27 AM
You were dynamite! Your enthusiasm and dedication are fantastic. Keep up the good work!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)

By Liz on 10/4/2007 11:27 AM

Marie, you've always seemed like the kind of person who would make a great friend; very grounded and down to earth. We're pretty much the same age, so I really relate to your aches and pains, but you look graceful and like you're having a great time, so that's matters. I also love the fact that Donny & Jimmy are there cheering you on. You have a wonderful family. You're very lucky. Good luck in the competition.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Patrick on 10/4/2007 11:27 AM
Marie I have been a fan for yrs. I'm thrilled to see you back on tv where you belong. I thought you were great the first week then the second week you blew our minds. You Go Girl!!!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Beth on 10/4/2007 11:27 AM
First of all, I feel your pain! I'm training for my first marathon...at age 49! You are doing an incredible job, beautiful, fun, a joy to watch. I'm so impressed. It hurts, but come on, doesn't it feel good too? :-) You got 33 votes from me (11 from 3 phones!) - Haha!

I am routing for you as always. You are one great lady. God Bless,

Marie, I think you are doing a FABULOUS job girlfriend! I haven't seen you since the "Sound Of Music" tour, long time! But I did see many, many shows back then :-) Marie, you are doing a wonderful job and you look like a pro out there, it looks so natural for you! You have inspired me, I have to somehow get my hubby to go take dancing lessons with me! ha! Keep up the fantastic work, have a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the 13th. I have to try and see you again soon! You are always in my prayers and I always remember your kindness to me through the years. Love, Rose (Baltimore, Md.)

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By marie on 10/16/2007 4:03 PM
I also grew up watching you and your family. I love your down to earth personality -- I listen you talk and feel as if an old friend was talking to me. Watching you dance is an inspiration to all 40ishhhh women. There are no losers when you enjoy what you are doing.... whatever happens on the show you are a winner in my book.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)

By Tammy Harris on 10/16/2007 4:03 PM

Hello Marie, I think as always that you are wonderful. I used to watch you and Donny on the Donny & Marie show when I was a teen. Can you believe I used to wear my purple socks like Donny every Friday night. I have always have been a HUGE fan of the Osmonds. My life long dream is to meet you ALL sometime. I remember when Donny sang to you when you turned 18 years old. I have tried to keep up with you and everything that you do. The home that I was raised in is gone now. All of my collections that I had of you guys was lost in a fire. Our home had burned but one thing I have are those memories of watching you all on Friday Nights and my purple socks. Love those purple socks. One thing that I would love to see is that you challenge Donny to do DWTS. This would be great. Oh yea happy 50th aniversary to all of the Osmonds.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Hat Lady on 10/16/2007 4:02 PM
Whoa girl, can you say "kick butt and take names"?? I am SO proud of you, you have done an amazing job. Let's hear it for the ladies over 40--er, I mean, over 29!! (smiles). Hope you have a FANTABULOUS birthday this weekend, love you and hope to see you soon! Teresa

I love watching you. If I wasn't married I would ask you for a date. You have grown into a beautiful lady. Like a rose under a rainbow.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)

By SherryB on 10/18/2007 10:29 AM

Goodness, this blog is 3 weeks old. You need to get back here and let us know how your doing, really. This is the first time I have ever watched Dancing With The Stars. What got me to actually watch this time was you and Jane. Once I heard you guys were going to be on it, I couldn't fight the urge any longer. Granted, I set the DVR to record it, and I do watch it a few days after it airs, but hey, you know what it's like to be a busy woman. So far, I am beyond impressed. You have faced the challenge, while keeping your sense of humor over all. But you have improved each week, with elegance and grace. Keep up the good work. Pretty soon you will have the arms of that 20 year old. I just hope she doesn't miss them. ;-) I would love to get your Christmas CD, but watching QVC to get it may be a little difficult. Can you (or an assistant) e-mail me instructions on how I can get it over the internet. I would really really appreciate it. Thank you and keep up the good work. It give us girls hope that we too can someday dance like a star.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Marissa on 10/18/2007 10:27 AM
You are really great esp. in your dancing nowadays....I am a fan from the time I saw you on television. YOu were just born a year ahead of me. I like your smile and your attitude. Here's wishing you all the best today and alw ays. Happy Birthday by the way.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Tamera Davis on 10/18/2007 10:26 AM

I've had a very rough couple of years tacked onto a difficult life and I didn't think I could smile and truly feel joy again until I saw you dance tonight. You were amazing! I was smiling from ear to ear from the moment the music came on and you two started dancing. I'm surprised I wasn't the one fainting! Best of luck not that you need it with all your talent. All my votes have been and will continue to be for you, Marie. Thanks for letting us all live vicariously through you!

Hello Marie, Are you there??? I am new to this blog and disappointed to see that the last entry from Marie was sept. 25th? Just wanted to say "Hang in there Girl" You are doing great and I know the challenge is very exhausting but you can do it. No more fainting...Get your sleep and drink your water. Love you and you look FANTASTIC!!!

Hi Marie, Just a fun note to you, I was born October 12, 1959 and always thought it was so cool to be born just 1 day before you! Of course it has nothing to do with your cute brother Donnie! Haha. I am rooting for you on this show. You are doing great and looking good too. I would love to see a picture of your children. I looked on the website and didn't see any. I have 5 children of my own all the way from 28 to 5. I am a single mom now and it is not an easy road. I work full time for a CPA firm and have missed lots of time with my kids but love each and everyone of them. God Bless you and yours and PLEASE don't forget to breath! Love Ginger

Dear Marie, I'm so glad that everything was alright after you fainted. As well as yourself, it scared alot of people. I'm glad to see you back on TV again, I have really missed you and all of your family, like so many other fans, I have grown up loving all of you and would love to meet you all. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life and keep on dancing. You do such a wonderful job. This is the first year I have actually watched the show, and its all because of you. Good luck to you and Johnathon.

Just wanted to say I'm glad you are okay. Unfortunately, I can relate to the fainting stuff. I've been through the same battery of tests that you mentioned and they seem to find nothing but boy do you feel like you're dying when it happens and it scares the people who witness it half to death. I'm always embarrassed after all of the commotion and wiped out for about 24 hours afterwards. I've been praying for you. Take care of yourself. You're hilareous and quite the inspiration.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)

I would encourage you to be cautious, Marie. As someone living with my 4th ICD in the past 11 years, I know how dangerous fainting can be, and, sometimes, as in my case, it takes years to be diagnosed because there are many reasons people faint. In my case, it was a precursor to sudden cardiac death caused by a dilated cardiomyopathy. And I am still only 39! Hang in there, but take care of yourself! Your health is more important than the dancing! Best wishes and God bless you!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)

By Megan H on 10/30/2007 8:51 AM

Just wanted to say that I'm rooting for you. I'm only 20 but I grew up listening to you and your brothers. The fainting spell thing scared me last week. I can relate to that though because I have a history of fainting and seizures; I did go through a whole battery of tests and nothing would show up. It finally did after two years and mine is the result of a heart condition known as long qt syndrome. Now seeing it happen to anybody else freaks me out a lot, but I would get embarrassed ot the point that I gave myself panic attacks. Anyway, take care of your health and I will continue to vote for you, like I have been all along. You're just amazing.

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Sydnee on 10/30/2007 8:48 AM
Hey Marie just wanted to say I know what you're going through. I faint all the time and the doctors don't really know what's wrong with me. Just last month I fainted at school for like the billionth time and it's kinda embarassing. You really handled it like a pro! You rock!!!

Re: Dancing Diaries (Day 11)	By Sydnee on 10/30/2007 8:46 AM
People, if you are Marie Osmond fans you MUST vote for her on Dancing with the Stars. Hurry, you only have until midnight!!!!!!!
