You want us to do WHAT???

So a guy walks into a bar………

Just kidding; but that is kind of how I feel like starting this morning, because something weird happened this week.  We got a call from a TV network about our vehicles.  We own Mazda’s and apparently they are doing a show about putting the Customer in the drivers seat of designing a new car.

Ya…put me in the drivers seat and trust your life in me. ……

But what the heck.  We don’t totally understand it, but they called us in for an ‘on camera’ interview and I figured what they heck.  You only live once, right?

I’m not going to say I’m not hesitant, because it is Hollywood, and you have seen what they produce.  If this is going to be a reality TV show then we are kind of putting ourselves out there.  We are trusting they will put us in good light and make us look ‘likeable’.  But I have seen where that doesn’t happen, and I am half expecting them to put me against Chris so we can create some “reality” tension which would bring up ratings.

But let’s not get too far ahead.

Many things have gone through my mind in the last 12 hours (since we got the call).  First of all; who’s going to do my hair?  I can do makeup just fine, but my hair is a force to be reckoned with.  And if it looks bad on camera; we aren’t getting a call back.

Actually, though that thought did enter my mind, I’m more wondering why we are doing this?  I am guessing it’s more curiosity than anything else, but it feels a little vain, which I don’t like.  It also feels like I’m putting control in a complete strangers hand, trusting them with my reputation.  (Like there is a lot to lose, but still).

I look at ‘reality’ TV and I think, “Did these people have NOTHING better to do than to get on a TV show?”  Then I assume they are going for their 15 minutes of fame and I roll my eyes.

And here I am.

I’m just gonna roll with this one.  I have decided I’m not going to put too much stock into it.  It will be an afternoon that Chris and I get to spend together – which is a few and far between occurrence.  Hopefully traffic won’t be a bear, causing us to be frazzled when we get there.  Afterall, it is L.A. and anything can happen on the way there.

Our interview is at 12.  I have a lot of makeup and hair to worry about in the next two hours, so I’d better get started.

In the letter it said to bring your energy.  It suggested Red Bull or Coffee.  They don’t care how you bring it, but bring it!  I thought that was funny.  Chris said that we should walk in all Monotone and then when they start looking alarmed we will burst into laughter.  That thought alone had me going.  He’s in sales; he’s pretty good at turning it on when he needs it.  And me?  I get nervous, so I guess we will see.  I’m not really doing coffee; but I may make an exception.

In any case, it will be a quick little adventure we can share with the kids.  I’m sure they will get a kick out of it!

Hope your day is great!  Will keep you posted.

This could be my one and only chance at 15 minutes of fame. I can check this one off the bucket list for once and for all.

Happy Saturday
