Oh My, Oh My, O-prah

Life is funny.  Remember this post?  Guess where I am going today.

To a taping of the Oprah Winfrey show. 

Can you believe what a lucky dog I am? 

I can't.

Here's how it happened.  Portia, my lovely neighbor here in Stepford, was on Oprah's site a couple of weeks ago and saw the link for "last minute ticket reservations" and clicked over.  She filled out a form and they called her less than 2 hours later and gave her 4 tickets.  4 instead of the 45 she really needed.  Just 4.

Who would she be bringing?  Who of her millions of friends would she give the single greatest gift (outside of her octopus recipe) they would ever recieve from her?  The producer on the phone said they needed the names right then.

Who

Would

She

Pick? 

Bloggers, she did what any of us would do.

A random drawing.

ME.  She picked out ME.  Hooray!  New Diva on the Blog is going too. Hooray!!  Sissy rounds out our foursome.  What fun!

Chi-Chi, Ada-Lee, and Elaina are not going and that is the only thing that dampens our enthusiasm.  It would have been fun if we all could have gone together.  You realize that I have to say this because they read my blog....right?  Nothing could actually dampen my enthusiasm.

Anyway,  we have our fingers crossed that it's the Favorite Things episode because it would be fun to see us lose our minds on National Television.  We're cool like that.  As you may remember, I am a television veteran.

The site says that they are showing the Nate Berkus episode today but we're pretty sure that was taped a while ago.  Of course, I would love to see Nate Berkus.  He's so cute, and travel sized for your convenience.  What was I talking about?  Oprah.  and Me.  together. just. this. once. 

I promise not to talk politics....really, I promise.

If it ends up being the favorite things episode, I'm sorry but I can never read your blog again.
Because I will hate you.

Unless you give me something from the show.
Then, I will really like you again.

I lived in Chicago a year ago and always wanted to go see an Oprah taping. How lucky are you!!! WOW!! Have a wonderful time. I will definately stop back to read all about it!

Well, I was sorry to hear it wasn't the favorite things show. But a little part of me isn't since I didn't get to go. You did take a picture cut out of me, right?

Okay. Even though I pretend to be anti- Oprah's influence, I would totally up a chance to sit in her audience and collect free stuff. I hope you get a car. Or clothes. Or candy. Really, anything would do. Have fun!

Happy Birthday early on your blog and Nana's. Wished I could have been there for your party and to go on Oprah. love you

[Daddy Forever]

Cool, my wife would love to be on Oprah. Especially if Oprah was giving away a bunch of stuff. So, did you get a free Porsche?
