Come on Down

I got tickets to The Price is Right a couple of months ago and had a couple of friends who were interested in going.  I thought more people would be interested, but I guess the thought of waiting around for a few hours wasn't all that appealing.  The arrival time was changed from 8:30 to 7:30, which I was worried would change my friends' minds, but to my relief, it didn't.

So, I woke up at 5:45 this morning, picked up Dani and Guro, parked the car, and made it to the studio by 7:30.  We waited in three separate areas, the first area where we got our name tags, the second area where we waited for our "interviews", and the third area where we waited to enter the studio.  I thought I was real clever with my interview, saying I was "made in Taiwan", but currently lived in Santa Monica.  That my job was "CEO of the Ly Corporation", basically that I was a stay at home mom.  Maybe it was a little overboard or maybe I was under consideration, but somehow they found out that I was in another game show less than a year ago, which would disqualify me.  Whatever the reason, my friends and I were not picked as contestants, but we were able to witness the six that were all win!  Maybe I'll try again next time and hopefully get to "come on down"!

I'm sure our real reactions would have been better.  :P

Though I may not have won anything at the show, I happened to receive my new phone today, which I won from another contest.

I would have preferred black, but beggars can't be choosers.

Our winning entry of why we "hate 2 wait" two years to upgrade our cell phones.  "Waiting two years is like riding a kid's bike".  Maybe a bit cheesy, but considering that the video was shot right after Lydia took off her training wheels and completely unplanned, it was not too shabby.

My entry was totally staged, but showed a Gymboree bag in the background and was disqualified.
