Sorry about the blog slump. As I know all of you can relate, its been busy. I have missed it though. So time to update you on the most fun thing that's happened to me in quite a while. Rachel (my sis) & I each won 2 tickets to day 4 of Ellen DeGeneres' 12 Days of Giveaways, which was taped on December 10th. Rach brought her hubby, Rusty. And since Charlie was busy with finals, Pati, my wonderful mom-in-law came with me. We drove out to LA @ 10 a.m. (about 1-1/2 hrs.) found NBC studios and figured out where we needed to go. We had time, so we ate a quick lunch, met up w/ Rach & Rus and got in the line to go to the show @ 1:00 p.m. Check-in and waiting was about 3 hrs. Taping started at 4:00. Ellen's guests were Blake Lewis (singer from American Idol), and Padma Lakshmi (host of Top Chef). Blake sang a song from his new album, and Padma made "flautas" and shared some with the audience. To our suprise we were there on her day of all things "kitchen." So we were each gifted a KitchenAid 5 qt. mixer, a $300 gift certificate to Allen Brothers (a meat company), $200 Amex giftcard, $100 giftcard to Chefs Catalog, a juicer, a 6-bottle wine refrigerator, and 4 wine glasses! We were laughing at the wine stuff. But overall, such a FUN DAY! It was all so exciting! Talk about a great Christmas holiday this has been. A BIG Thanks to Rachel, that was so fun- Love you!
