Dum, da, dum [drumroll]... I'm really gonna be on Wheel of Fortune!! They called tonight and invited me to come tape the show on Thursday, December 13. Two weeks - yikes!! I've got to practice!! It's a take-it-or-leave-it offer; I tape on that date, or I miss my chance. So, Brian and I are heading to LA!!!
I emailed our director (my boss) tonight because the date falls during our "no leave" time -- it's a crucial time of year where we're busy processing and reviewing applications, so normally no one is allowed to take vacation. But he responded, "Of course you should go." I figured that'd be the response -- I can't imagine the regret I'd feel if I had to miss this opportunity!
We're planning to fly out Wednesday evening, December 12, and stay until Sunday, December 16. I'll be busy with the show all day on Thursday - they said 7:45 AM until 6:00 PM - but we'll have all day on Friday and Saturday for sightseeing. Brian luckily had two vacation days set aside for after Christmas, which now he'll have to work, but it's just good he had them at all! We will have to miss his much-anticipated work Christmas party (where he could have won a $100 gift card or even a gun as a door prize -- but my winning potential is a little higher!)
They are taping 6 shows that day. Five of them will air the second week of January and the sixth won't air until February. I should probably wait to make sure I don't embarrass myself before I spread that info too widely!! (Yes, Amy, you will probably end up saying, "You're a dork" at some point during my debut!)
I was VERY excited they called b/c I'm a year into my 18 months of being in the contestant pool and I was worried I wouldn't be able to travel or tape the show as time progresses closer to the middle of April! Haha... I'll have to get a Wheel of Fortune or Hollywood baby outfit (like a souvenir tshirt) -- and in just a few days I'll know if I should get it in pink or blue!! This is all so exciting!!!

Leaves, leaves everywhere
November 28, 2007
Brian’s parents and my mom are coming down this weekend because we have our ultrasound on Monday. Brian is hunting Sat morning with a guy down here and then we are decorating the house. We didn't get to it last Sun b/c Brian was sick and it's easier to do when it's light out, so Saturday's the first day we can do it. We'll prob get a tree tomorrow night and decorate inside the house, or I should say I'll decorate inside.
Our yard is COMPLETELY covered with leaves (you can barely see the grass!) so we have to rake this weekend. Brian said he was gonna wait til all the leaves fell b/c last yr we raked about 6 times. Almost all the leaves have fallen now so we will prob rake on Sunday. I told Brian that's good b/c then maybe Doug can help. :)
Brian doesn't know it yet but I also thought maybe Doug could help move some of the furniture around to clear out the baby's room! We're prob gonna put the extra bed and dresser in the spare room where the desk and shelves are. We'll have to store the futon somewhere else though b/c there won't be room for everything. I’m busy cleaning and organizing closets, rearranging, and trying to get rid of unnecessary things (which is really hard for me!).
