Chicago Here We Come!



Have you ever sat down and thought about all the things that you would want to do before you die? I have and one of my top tasks will be completed tomorrow. Yes it is true, I'm going to Oprah!!! WOW right, that is what I keep telling myself. Almost 2 months ago I had a customer come into FB to get a new top, she was going to Oprah. After talking to her, I felt inspired and found myself on Oprah's website a few weeks later. It took me almost 30 minutes before I found this LAST MINUTE RESERVATIONS for Oct 8-10. Last Friday to my surprise I had 2 voice mails from the Oprah Show....was this a joke I thought. My Dream came true. So tomorrow I'm heading to Chicago with 3 great people. Each of these women have a special place in my heart and I'm very happy to be able to have them all come for the ride. My mom was the first one to call....I used to tell her years ago when we would watch Oprah that someday we would be there watching her live. Then my best friend and past manager Laurie....this gives us a reason to spend a perfect day off, and then next my sister-in-law Lori, she is always giving to everyone that I thought I could pay her back for all that she has done for my family and others. Good things come to those that wait...sound familiar mom? Wish us luck and I'll keep you posted to the air date!

ARGH, I'm jealous but so excited for you. Even though I don't watch Oprah all that much, I know it would be an awesome experience.
Maybe if you're lucky it will be the christmas show and you'll get all kinds of free giveaways!!!
I'll be waiting for an air date and will be sure to watch that day!!
