It's a Job, but Somebody Has to Do It!

Recently Meghan has been real people casting for a new reality tv show. She found 30 hunky guys for the casting agency. The guys range from Investment Bankers to Fireman, even a few foreigners. She thought her job ended there. The production agency has now hired her on as a Production Assistant to babysit the "Talent"--which means she will be shuffling the 30 guys ranging from 25-35 in age to where ever they need to be, take care of their needs, "keep them in line." Hysterical!! Can you imagine her doing this?!! After the casting she had called home and said, "I don't care if I don't see another "beefy" man for quite awhile. I've been flirting straight for two days and am exhausted!" Now she has to take care of them. The show will air on Fine Living Network. She writes the new show is called:

"Love Taxi, in which a woman finds herself in a cab driven by a matchmaker who picks up guys (preplanted--the "Talent") she finds interesting. If things don’t click in the back seat, he gets dropped off and the search goes on. If the couple gets along, they go on a date, paid for by the show. The series is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2010.

Sounds hilarious... especially because I'll be there to nurse the rejects' egos back to health."

Ya, right! You know she will tell any whiner to just "buck it up." I am sure she will have stories to tell us all. Will keep you posted!

The Wing!!!

A few weeks ago mom, who has "eyes in the back of her head," discovered David must have bought a new paragliding wing. He had sold his first one to add money to his mission fund (hey, we all have to make sacrifices!). After much teasing, that mothers know everything, he finally fessed up and brought it home for us to see. Before David's mission, he spent a lot of time and disciplined himself to get certified. That was an accomplishment in iteself. Scott used to tell people, "we are going to the Point of the Mountain" to see our son today." He would wait for the person to react to his uncomfortable statement, sputter out a remark, then start to laugh and finish with "to see him paraglide...NOT the prison."

The blue wing is his new pride and joy. He picked it up for a great deal!--a little resourceful digging. There are bargains to be had during these times. He felt extremely blessed because it was the exact wing he wanted to be able to buy when he returned home from the mission.

Easter

So...have you ever been an empty nester with nobody around to celebrate Easter with you? Thanks to our wonderful neighbor's, the Otts, we got to enjoy Easter as is should be...surrounded by family and friends. What a blast! It was like being with my own crazy, fun family. What's more great than family, friends, good conversation, AND some great cuisine! Thanks, Ott Family!
