My mother was minding her own business today when she got a call from an old friend in Florida.

“Did you enter a contest for the Bonnie Hunt Show????”

“Uh,….yeah.”

“Well, I was watching it this morning and they said your name and YOU won!!!!”

My mom wrote in a very funny caption for this picture:

“Repeat after me”
“Repeat after me”
“No, I mean, repeat what I say”
“No, I mean, repeat what I say”

A well-deserved win, if I do say so, myself!!
Congrats to my mom. The funniest mom I know.

I love you, mom!

You don’t know how hard these past 2 months have been on me.
I’ve had some exciting news to share that I had to keep to myself until today!!

Back in June, a Fashion Editor for a teen magazine notified me to ask if they could feature a pair of my earrings in one of their upcoming magazines.

After, regaining consciousness and picking myself up from off of the floor, I emailed her back and said, “Uh yeah, duh!”.
Okay, I didn’t use those exact words. But I’m sure she could sense my delirium in my email.

I am a horrible, bundle of nerves! I have a gigantic fear that either no one will be interested enough to buy my earrings or on the Polar opposite side of the spectrum, hundreds of teenage girls will be stuffing my email inbox full of requests for a pair.

Either way, I am nervous. As hell. Ooh! Excuse me. I get like this when I’m nervous. And when I’m about to ralph all over the place!

If you make it to a Hastings or Comic Book store or Newstand, check out the issue. And see if it makes you as feverish and nauseous as me.

As for myself, I’m off to make up another 30 pairs of these earrings and enjoy an afternoon Pepto-bismol Cocktail.

Belch.
