What a mess!
Audrey is on vacation in some amazing island spot. Which is fine, we can get by with 2 of us. Then disaster strikes.
Natalie eats something, or was exposed to something - hell, in her case, she could have just LOOKED at something - and BAM! - she's itching everywhere. Monday, we had our pre-show meeting (Yes, I know we sound stupid - but we actually do try to put thought into this show) and she kept taking off her shoe to scratch her foot. Then her palms start itching. The next day she stops by - she's scratching everywhere. Then I start scratching, because I'm a good friend - if not a little paranoid and mental.
So, last night I text Nat to see if she's going to be able to do the show. No Response. Panic. Should I call her DH to make sure she's still breathing? What about the show? How can she do this? Why can't she stop thinking about herself and her itchies and JUST DO THE SHOW?!?
This morning, she texts, "Not coming in." I died a little in that moment. Because although I have a lot to say...Who wants to hear me talk for 45 minutes non-stop? Plus I'm on some new meds that might be impacting my creativity - so what if I drone on for 45 minutes about the plight of lost australian snow birds?
But I'm nothing if not a trooper. I immediatley called my friend Becky, whom I have asked to do some guest spots on the show, and begged her with everything I have to co-host with me today. I'm talking down on my knees, I love you, blah, blah, blah. It was the truth. It was a lie. It was whatever Becky needed to hear to make her agree.
She made me wait TWO HOURS for a affirmative. If I wasn't so grateful, I would have hurt her. Real bad.
But it all worked out. I sent Bec the agenda and like the pro that she is, she showed up 15 minutes before air time with notes and printouts so she could contribute. I heart her and will never be able to repay her generosity.
So...there you go. Episode two. Meh.
Maybe next week, I'll graduate to a "Meh" and a shoulder shrug.
And maybe I'll learn how to answer the phone.
Whatever.
Jersey Shore 4-EVER!!! Fist Pump!!!
