Take A Little Time To Enjoy ...THE VIEW :)~

Months ago Kat sent in a request for tickets to The View, and of course they came just when she has started a new job. Plus she wanted to save her time off to take care of me for a few days after my surgery.....All day I felt sooooo guilty for having such a great time! I've never been to a live taping of a show before. It was sooooo much smaller in the studio than I thought it would be. It was just really cool to see how everything works and shite....

Since Kat couldn't make it I asked my friends Angie B and Mary to join me on my little journey. We had to be on the 6:40 am train, so we met at Ang's and walked over......THANX again Angie B for picking up my ticket the night before!!!.....You ROCK!

So we got to the studio just fine.....waited for over 2 hrs in line.....First outside.....Then around 9:30 they let us in the building and had us all round up like cattle to wait another hour and 15 min before they let us upstairs to the studio.....But after that...... everything was great!

They let us take pics during the commercial breaks....Whoopie was there, and was announced as one of the new hosts for next season....also there, was actor John Voight......You know Angelina's dad......He played the father to Rick Schroder in one of my favorite childhood movies....THE CHAMP. ....Wish I had brought a pic from that movie for him to sign.....cause he was outside the studio afterwards signing autographs....Got some good pics of him though!......

And of course there were the gifts we got...It was "Kid's Summer Gadgets" day.....So we wound up getting a slushie maker, an electric spinning marshmallow fork, a digital camera, an underwater skateboard, and a gift certificate for an electric scooter.....not bad....but I'd so rather be in Oprah's audience for her ..."My Favorite Things Show" ...Now those are some gifts!

Oh Yeah I almost forgot .....also outside was "Josh" from All My Children.....He stopped too to sign stuff and take pics.....Being the BIG AMC fans that we are, Angie B and I asked to take a pic with him.....Damnation!...He is such a HOTTIE!!!!


We made our way to some Irish Pub for a beer and a bite to eat....Then hopped in a cab to Grand Central....Traffic was soooooo bad, and the cab was so hot that we got out and walked the rest of the way...
When we got back I wanted to watch the show with the girls, but I was meeting Lisa, Jen, and Christine for dinner and drinks in an hour and I still needed to wash NYC off of me...lol... :)~

By the way we went to Archie Moore's, and we ordered a bunch of apps......Can I tell you how much I loved the Barbecue pulled pork nachos!!!!....Mmmmm......M!..I'll go back just for that.

Go Shorty ....It's yer Berfday... :)~

Happy birthday shout out to my wife Kat....Happy Born Day baby... I Luv ya more!!!
Made her her favorite breakfast this morning.......Eggs Benedict. And tonight.... her fav cake... chocolate with white frosting. Just having Tina and Jess and hopefully Katie will be joining us for that. Next year will be the BIG 40 and celebration on a much bigger scale!....better start planning that now...lol.......Actually my mom turns 60 in June....I need to plan that like yesterday!... :)~

Started physical therapy today...The stretches they had me do just felt like they aggravated everything more.....but I know its gonna hurt to get better....No Pain No Gain....Right???
It was the first exercise I've gotten since this happend....been scared to do anything....I usually do between 300-500 crunches 3 times a week, and use free weights for my arms and back for strength training...plus I try to hit the gym once a week....Gotta keep my tan up...Ha!...This is killing me not being able to exercise.....I feel like I gained at least 10 lbs sitting around the house. On the plus side I've gotten to watch alot of the Food Network and shows, and have been inspired with ideas for specials when I go back to work....That is, if there is work to go back to....
