TODAY SHOW!

We got up at 3:30 (for the 2nd morning in a row!) and I had a KILLER headache! I don't even get headache's that much! I sure am glad I brought ADVIL! Whew! By the time we got there my headache had eased up. Guess no sleep finally caught up with me! Anyway, we got to the TODAY SHOW area at 5. Our great PR girls: Rachel, Elly and Shannon, had us a place saved! We were first in line! We made some pix and then were led to an area in front of where they shoot the show. Then we WAITED. and WAITED. And WAITED! All told I think we stood there for 5 hours! Anyway, we found out immediately that Al Roker was in D.C.! What a disappointment! We knew the anchors would probably not interveiw me on the show, then. BUT, Meredith Viera came over and chatted and chatted and spied PATPAT and heard him TALK! She was so cute! She grabbed a pen and signed his shirt. She said her dad was a Navy surgeon so she loved the Navy! Of course, we made a ton of pix! After while, Natalie Morales came over and chatted as well. She saw Patrick's picture and said, "Oh! He is so cute!" I snapped away with her holding Patrick's picture! I was beyond thrilled! Here is our day last July 31, 2008!
