WOW. That was A LOT of screaming. Did you watch the show today? Hannah Montana, American Girl Dolls and a studio full of Tweens. That's a recipe for squealing. Oprah gave me no homework today. If I didn't have a pounding headache from all the glitter, pink and screeching on the show today, I'd get up and cheer.
I know, though, not to relax too much. We're in reruns for the week and while I can celebrate the small amount of free time I have on my hands, I know the other shoe will drop once the new shows start up.
I did get onto the Oprah.com website, as I do every morning, and was met with this phrase: Try an Awakening Exercise! So, I'll follow that directive this morning. Tonight for dinner? Art Smith's Ground Turkey Shepard's Pie. Sounds like the perfect meal for our endless Chicago winter. I'll let you know how much it costs, how much time it takes and get you a photo of the mushy deliciousness. (I wish Art Smith would create some under-30-minute meals!)
Ordered my 'crisp, white shirt" from Old Navy for $16.99. We were told we all needed to have one. I'm sure I'd LOVE to wear Oprah's favorite version of the shirt from Brooks Brothers, but at $89.50, it's just not going to happen. Of course, if she'd told us we needed that specific shirt, I would have purchased it, but luckily, an option was given and I'll have enough money to buy the groceries to make tonight's dinner. You can breathe easy: I won't be eating my sloppy shepard's pie when I wear my crisp, white shirt.

Hey LO,
Just discovered your blog today thanks to Whitney Matheson's Pop Candy Blog from USA Today (http://blogs.usatoday.com/popcandy/). I wanted to say I enjoyed reading your past posts and will continue to follow your project. I live downtown Chicago and can relate to your project, as I watch Oprah every day since I started working from home last year. I find her advice compelling and daunting. Keep it up!
LO, I'm glad you had a glimpse into my world today. With a 10-year-old daughter, I've seen Hannah/Miley in concert. It was the first time I'd ever indulged in $12 mojitos at our arena.
And don't get me started on that "racket" dressed in miniature vintage clothing :)
I'm glad you're on a bit of hiatus this week. I'm sure you could use the break!
welcome amy g! glad to have a fellow everyday-oprah-watcher reading the blog. also, thanks for letting me know where you linked from. i feel lucky that Ms. Matheson put me on Pop Candy!
christy - hilarious. i actually laughed as i was drinking and seltzer almost came out my nose. i can imagine that concessions made quite a bit of money off you moms that night!!
Hannah is all the rage around my pad. My seven-year-old is a big fan and it's wearing off on her dear old dad. I blogged about this recently and somehow my post found it's way onto a Hannah Montana fan site. Interesting . . .
All I could think about when I came across this site was the old skit by the comedian Sinbad. He's talking about relationships and how spouses (particularly female Oprah-worshipping spouses) will give you that look when you do something stupid and proclaim, "Hmm . . . just like Oprah says!" I laugh my butt off every time I see that.
I wish you well . . .
thanks tysdaddy! did they tear your to shreads on the hannah montana site? superfans can be pretty tough. (i can relate!!)
