I WAS ON TV LAST NIGHT!!!
And I forgot to tell everyone. In a way it's selective amnesia, I wanted to see it before everyone else. I'm not sure why, but it feels sort of safer that way. Kind of the same way it is when I get photos developed - I must see them before anyone else. I am not sure why, because I always end up showing all the pics anyway, even the bad ones. Strangewise that's right up there with sitting in restaurants with my back facing the wall... Could it be the Italian in me? Were my ancestors in the Mafia at some point?
Anyway, the TV show was for the Local Fox 59 News, and it was on at 10pm, which is better than 3am I suppose. So, they were doing a story on women who do renovations and repairs themselves and how it's a growing trend and they wanted to center the whole thing around me. I just can't believe they didn't find anyone else, as I'm sure there are *many* women out there who've done way more than I have and are way more knowledgeable about these things. Especially since I still refuse to call tools by their names and sort of give them my own ("the grabber tool") or just call them a name that basically explains what the tool is good for ("the grabber tool that can be used to loosen up things").
Out of respect for the tools I work with I must get serious and report that I used a NAIL GUN for the first time and it was the COOLEST! I also SOLDERED a copper tube for a friend of mine, after we installed her new hardwood floors. It was so great! I wonder how many uses one could have for these things...
Ok, so the show made me look like I was a complainy bitch who was slightly sick of her husband not fixing things and they conveniently left out the part where I answered that the real reason I did all this was to impress my husband.
That would not have made for a good story in these days, I suppose!

PLEASE tell me you taped it! I talked to you and you knew it was going to be on so I'm sure my Gabey-baby had a tape in the VCR. Mail me the tape to watch and I'll mail it back to you. I really want to see it. Hugs, Patti
Congratulations! I know what you mean about wanting to see it yourself before everyone else does! Thank you also for displaying the wonderwoman torch....you're so right it's all about perception...the torch symbolizes that we're lighting the way to celebrate this wonderful journaling community that has been in existance almost a year!

Patti, I Tivoed it. So as soon as I get a chance I'll make you your VERY OWN COPY!! How about that!!! I love you!! G
Thank you so much Vivian! Please leave me a link to your journal/s, it's a great way to get to know people...! You know, it wasn't until I started blogging that my thoughts on perception became stronger. It really makes you take a step back and contemplate the *whole* picture -- which in turn helps you see your own perception against that of somebody else's... and then you hope they will understand where you're coming from... Anyway, thanks sooo much for stopping by and sorry about the rambling! -- Gabriela
That's awesome :)
