And Then We Went Live . . .

Right before the cameras started rolling I asked Natasha Barrett if she had any children. She replied “No” but told me she had a niece and nephew whom she considered great birth control. And then we went live.

I had a little bit of luck with me for my stint on TV yesterday.  First, I had on my dragonfly socks, courtesy of my SIL Mindy, which were artfully hidden under my gray knee high boots:

Next, I had my mom, The Queen and my sister, The Honeybee, in my pocket.

And to top off my trifecta of luck, I had this girl with me for the entire ride {thanks Audrey!}:

I was a bit taken off guard when the anchor ‘teased’ me as an upcoming guest by saying, “Coming up next, are you ruining your relationship with members of your family by blogging about them?” Huh.That wasn’t what I was expecting. Cue the clammy, shaking hands and sweaty armpits.

I did my five minute segment, talking mostly about the positive experience blogging {about my kids} has been for me. I shared a few stories, including last week’s cell phone inquiry and  mentioned the great network of mommy bloggers out there and the amazing things that happen when one is connected to a dynamic group of women sharing the same experience though their blogs. Then I was done and we went to commercial break.

It went by fast.  I almost walked off the set attached to my microphone.  I looked pale under the studio lights. I may or may not have used the phrase “bodily functions” during the interview.  But darn it if I didn’t get five inquiries about my gorgeous shirt, so I’m going to consider the whole experience a success.
