It's over! We survived! But more importantly, the kids survived! It actually wasn't that bad, once they got over the initial shock of having new people around. We played with Play-doh, My Little Ponies, dinosaurs, watched movies--you know, typical kid stuff. Probably my favorite part was the train ride at the zoo when they all pretended to be going to Hogwarts, complete with Harry Potter-ish accents. Too cute. I myself am in HP land, having been reading the HBP all weekend. I couldn't put it down! I think someone dies, and I can't wait to find out who!!! I'll have to decide whether to read tonite or watch the premier of Las Vegas. Of course, there's always TiVo--so I'm sure HBP will win. Especially if Derrick is watching MNF. Poor guy hasn't been able to watch any sports this weekend! It's like his life force. And he has been slowing dying this weekend without it. Ha.
Friday was a lucky day. I had lunch with Sabahat, whom I hadn't seen since she quit. (Did I use "whom" correctly there? I never know.) Then I got a call from Harpo Studios saying that they received my request for last minute reservations and was I indeed a Winona Judd fan? Of course!! (Who is she again???) ;) Luckily, I had seen her on the show last year where she was dieting and on video diary. So, online, when they asked why I was "Winona's biggest fan", I said, with utmost heartfelt emotion, "As a woman having battled weight issues my whole life, I admire Winona's strength and blah blah she's a role model and yadda yadda she gives me hope blah blah blah". HAHA!! So tomorrow Ashley and I are headed to Chicago to see Oprah!! Hooray!!! Check another goal off the list. So...note to all--go to Oprah.com and check for last minute email reservations! They actually work!
Mondays are so lame. Especially when you start it with a conference call where you are an easy scapegoat to take the blame for others' mistakes. Oh well. Hopefully I'll be outta here in a couple months!
It's rainy and dreary outside. Which would have been perfect stay-in-bed, read Harry Potter weather. Sigh. I feel like shopping.
