DWTS last night was amazing!

O-M-G! What a night! Ok I know I have said this about a few of the others shows I have gone to but DWTS is now my #1 show to attend live. The set is gorgeous and it looks just like it does on TV. I thought it would be a lot smaller in person but nope. It's huge! Everyone really dresses up too and they are strict on the dress code. People were turned away who were in jeans. We had great seats down on the floor and before the show starts they invite everyone down on the dance floor to dance and then we all did the Cha Cha slide. We met a lot of the cast and they were all so sweet. Check out the pic that we took with William Levy. He tweeted it last night. If you ever get the opportunity to go to this show GO!!!!

In the pit at The Voice

OMG! I had SO much fun last night at The Voice! My sister-in-law and I were 15 again for the night in the pit screaming as Justin Bieber came around giving people "High 5's"! When they first announced he would be there we were laughing about it but then when he came out we totally got into it! I guess we never really grow up do we? Our feet were killing us by the end of the night though because we were standing the entire day. I felt bad for some of those girls wearing High Heels...they were hurting big time but trying not show it. The Voice is definately one of my favorite shows to see LIVE! Great Day!

American Idol rocked!

What a great show! All of these singers are so talented. Jessica is my favorite of course. Gotta support the San Diego girl! Finishing up dinner and back on the road home. Good day!

Its Idol time its Idol time...what what?!

Getting ready to head up to American Idol taping! Woot! Lots of restrictions though. No high heels of any kind, no sandals or open toed shoes, no cameras, phones, purses, backpacks. Everything has to fit in our pockets. Ummm it's raining today don't think my umbrella is gonna fit in my pocket! Haha

Price is Right Teen Driver's Edition was a lot of fun but very exhausting. We didn't get picked to be on stage (eventhough I threw an awesome toe touch with my 17 year old daughter), but we did have a nice Mother/Daughter day and met some really great people.

Our tickets to the First TEEN show in TPIR History

Our parting gift....not a new car but that's OK

Well we didn't get in to The Big Bang Theory yesterday. Our tickets were standby so we knew that we should get there early. We left the house around noon and got up to LA around 2.00 and there was already a line! (show is at 6:30) So we sat in line and the time actually went by quickly but when they were about to check us in they said that there were more Standby ticket holders than guaranteed ticket holders which isn't a good sign. Technically they give the "guaranteed" ticket holders up until an hour before show time to check in and then they will take standby. But then of course there are the VIPs who waltz in at the last minute and the poor audience coordinators have to scramble to get everyone in. (learned a good tip though....there are usually more VIPs towards the end of the taping season)

So they started taking Stanby people in (we were #30 and#31) and they stopped the line about 15 people infront of us. So we waited some more while MORE VIP people kept showing up. Ugh. Finally they said they could take some more Standby so we all stood up with our tickets in hand and getting a little excited at this point because it looked like we had made it. Nope! They stopped the line right at ME! So we waited again while MORE VIPs showed up. The audience coordinator counted 10 people back from me and said that they would hold our group as we may have a chance to go in but then told the other 50 or more people that she was sorry but they wouldn't be getting in. I felt really bad for all those people. They looked really dissapointed.

So we waited some more chit chatting with the couple right behind us in line who were a nice Australian couple here on their Honeymoon. They said that The Big Bang Theory is HUGE in Australia so they were really hoping to get in. It was almost showtime and the audience coordinator walked over to me and said that she can only take the two of us and that was it. So my husband jumps up off the bench and tells her to let the couple from Australia have our tickets. We can come back anytime and they can't. I just LOVE this man! Heart of Gold. Funny...I had a gut feeling that this was going to happen and was thinking the same thing he was. The couple was so happy and she was almost crying. I was almost crying too. She hugged us and said that this was the best Wedding Gift! We started to walk away and the audience coordinator called us over and they said that they were really surprised and impressed by what we did that they would get us in for sure to another taping of Big Bang.

My husband and I drove to Universal CityWalk and had a nice dinner and on the drive home saw Disneyland's fireworks. Perfect timing. So although we didn't get into the show it turned out to be a really great day.

Line for The Big Bang Theory 4 1/2 hours before taping

I joined Weight Watchers about 6 weeks ago and I am LOVING it! I have finally found something that works for me. YAY!!!! I had my first child 21 years ago, my second, 20 years ago, and my baby just turned 17! I think it's about time to lose MY BABY WEIGHT! I have lost 14 pounds since February 9th and I have about 30 more pounds to go until I reach my goal. My husband and 2 best friends are doing it as well so that's a HUGE advantage having such great support.

Weight Watchers works for me because I don't really feel like i am on a "diet". I can basically eat all the foods that I like. It's all about portion control, choices, and tracking. There are online tools and phone apps that are awesome! I chose to attend meetings AND use the online tools/phone app. My phone is great for tracking because it's always with me. As soon as I put something in my mouth, I track it. It's fast and simple and then I don't have to worry about forgetting to write something down. It does all the calculations for me and I know exactly how many points I have left for the day so I can plan on looking forward to either my glass of wine or my WW ice cream bar for dessert. I don't feel deprived at all.

My goal is to look like my "Talk Show Ho" Avitar! But maybe not the yellow hair :)
