1 minute of fame in NYC!!


Well, Sharon and I decided to celebrate my 40th / our 18th anniversary in NYC and we had an unbelievable time from seeing the bright lights, big city at Times Square to the decorated and packed Macy's! We also strolled in Central Park, watched the production STOMP and celebrated our anniversary at a Thai restaurant, the Holy Basil. We ate at Tom's Restaurant, the one seen in Seinfield and navigated the metro subway. However, the highlight of our trip came on our last day, December 11th '07 as we woke up at 4:15am to catch the subway from Queens to go to Columbus Ave and 66th to see Regis and Kelly Live. We waited there in the stand by line from 5:50am to 7:40am, enjoyed free hot chocolate and we were 7th and 8th in line. We also hit it off right away with #6, Carin from DC who we discovered to be a Christian as well. Check out her blog at http://wanderer.oozy.ws/ She retells the story much better than me...So, at 7:40am, they gave us our numbers and we grabbed brkfst at Starbucks. We were back in line at 8:30am and then at 8:45am, they would eventually take in 12 of us and we got front row seats in the corner on the left side. I took my coat off, get settled and a producer came up to us and asked us if we wanted to dance and we said SURE!!! So, after 10 minutes of practice, we were on to do our thing... The icing on the cake was that this was their Christmas gift week so everyone in the studio audience received $500- gift cards...are you kidding me!!! What a blast, God is good, real good to this crazy pastor and his amazing wife who got another few, "you look like Cameron Diaz" in line to make her day! :) Here is the link to the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arVbEaO4Rdk
