Oprah is a Diva

We went to Oprah, the show aired yesterday-and our smiling faces did not make the cut. Here are some of my behind-the-scenes highlights:
-They pull the really pretty, well-dressed ladies out of line and sit them in the front. Next time you watch an episode of Oprah notice how pretty everyone looks, the entire audience is not that attractive.
-Oprah does not move...people move her between takes, and touch up her make-up, hair and wardrobe.
-She gets fresh water between takes
-She has not had a pedi since she last went to Africa
-She is skinny
-She talked about eating an entire chocolate bar---and was worried she would run into 'Bob' (Mr. Best Life Diet) on her way home, and he would notice she ate too much---they are neighbors.

It was a fun experience, but we did not get any free stuff. The weekend was great, I really needed a getaway. It was fun to spend time with my family...we ran the Shamrock Shuffle 8K on Sunday morning. I will go back for that race, 30,000 runners---great distance. I remember a year and a half ago when I ran my first 5-mile race, and I thought it was such a big deal---and this was a breeze. I also beat Cory & Matt...I think my time was around 48 or 49 minutes---not sure since I was an 'unofficial' runner. Good post-race party as well.

Cory looks adorable and I got to go with her on her first maternity shopping excursion---complete with the belly pillow...reminded me of shopping with MB, and my own shopping. The clothes are much cuter than they were a couple of years ago. Cannot wait to be an Aunt!

I think I may go and check out the Cherry Blossoms this weekend---it's the thing to do while living in DC, right?
