Does the cat need a bath?  

Posted by Wendi

Amelia thought so. She cornered the cat and took a mug with water in it, with a toothbrush, and gave the kitty a 'bath'. It was very funny, actually.




The Deal..  

Posted by Wendi

So here is the deal...I have lived in this house now for 18 months, I CAN NOT get organized! Cleaning up, putting stuff away, fine, but real down to the nitty gritty of organization, can't do it. No matter what I do, no matter what I try, especially with the kids, I can NOT get organized. Any suggestions?

Rigatoni  

Posted by Wendi

I made Rigatoni for dinner tonight. The simple act of making Rigatoni really makes me miss my Grandpa. He always made Rigatoni. If my memory serves me correct, he made it pretty much every time we visited him or when he came to our house. He canned (well in a jar) his own sauce and it was good. I don't think my canned Hunt's sauce is as good as his was, but it just made me remember him and reflect on him. Oddly enough, the anniversary of his death was just a few days ago. I love you Grandpa and always will miss you!

We caved...

and bought the WII..

Update on Wheel among other things.  

Posted by Wendi

We didn't make it..for the inquiring minds. However we did get to go to 2 tapings..that was fun. No camera's or phones allowed, therefore I have no pictures to share. That's about all for the update on Wheel..

Alexis just recently got contacts. That seems to be the biggest news around. If I were a good mom I would chronicle this event with pictures of her taking them out and putting them in. I have no batteries for my camera..and my sister need not comment!! So, when I remember to get batteries, I'll take pictures.

That's about all on the homefront at this time. NOthing to big and exciting. Just getting ready for school to start in 23 DAYS!!!!! I could not be MORE excited!!

I think..

I am crazy. Man, this whole Wheel thing has me so nervous. Matt keeps telling me to calm down..Every time I think about getting a call I invision how excited I'll be and I hope whom ever calls from Wheel has some good strong ear drums. However, on the flip side, I have nervous belly and I just keep thinking I can't have butterflies and knotted up tummy till mid-July..that might just kill me. Man, this waiting thing is making me nuts in the head, and probably giving me some ulcers. I just had to release it somewhere..so onward with waiting..hope we get the call..I'll let you know either way.

Follow up on Wheel of Fortune!

Well, as luck would have it we made it through the entire audition without getting cut..so far. We now have to wait to see if we are lucky enough to receive 'that' phone call!! Matt and I did our best and whatever is meant to happen will! We are extremely excited about the chance to appear on Wheel and hope it comes! Being on Wheel has been a LIFELONG dream and goal of mine. I first tried out in LA when I was 12 for 'Teen Week'. I froze during the written and did not move on. I tried out again here in Vegas more that a decade ago, got through the first portion and got cut. Then, I went to the 'Wheelmobile' audition here in Vegas in April, got called up, but then was chosen to audition for 'Sweethearts Week' instead. I don't know, I'd rather play with Matt anyways. We do good as a team and he is fast on his feet! Hopefully, they see it that way too. I can't say enough nice things about the 'Wheel of Fortune' staff that was here today. They were all very nice and kind to us, except Bankrupting us for getting too MANY letters and chances. I think after about calling out 4 correct letters they would Bankrupt us so others had a chance to shine. Wish us luck and hopefully we'll tape with 'Wheel' in July!! I'll keep you all posted.
