yesterday's today show + brush with fame.

Jimmy was on the Today show when Matt lauer and Al Roker were at Univ. of Tampa where he works so he recorded it at home and we are going to save it. He was all excited becos he is in the crowd. It was funny cos he had to pause it before I could even see him but it totally is a good view of him and its obvious its him if you pause the film :)

He was hoping Obama would have a secret interview but it didnt turn out the way.

Earlier in the daytime, Jimmy had written me about the excitement of the today show filming and seeing some of it early this morning. he left an hr early to try to be there, before work! This was his email to me today!

Hi Babe,


Obama wasn’t here. There was a rumor going around all morning that he was going to be here and that “someone” was supposed to make a special appearance at 8:30am, but nobody showed. The show started at 7:00am, but I didn’t get here until almost 7:30am. I did manage to work my way into a few spots behind where they were filming, so I may have made it on TV once or twice if you can see me behind the big signs that were blocking my view. Debbie and Lynne definitely made it on because they were up front and got phone calls from family that saw them on the show. I took a few pictures of Matt Lauer and Al Roker, and Matt asked me how I was doing when he walked by. Not my biggest celebrity moment, but all of the ladies were swooning over him and getting his autograph. A Tampa politician, Bob Buckhorn, introduced himself to me and shook my hand…maybe because I was wearing my Obama button and he knew a few older ladies in Obama shirts that were standing by me.


Jimmy also got this handout flyer at the university that we both found highly amusing and funny. I couldnt help but scan it so I could share with others. I love the little dinosaur I must admit.

I titled the photo file on my computer as 'he's a dinosaur of a man' then uploaded it on my photo account. check it out :DI don't know if anyone has heard but its all over news about McCain trying to cancel tomorrows much anticipated debate with Obama which we had set to record on our DVD-r. Personally I think it is a crock and its obvious he is stalling. His ratings have gone considerably down in the past few days and accdg to polls, Obama is more favored based on various news report, cnn news and articles i have read online in the past two days. I think its suspect as to why he is asking for a postponement. Obama has spoken live just recently and he wishes to go on. I wonder what the outcome will be. This political year sure is heated and full ot twists and turns. I think this is one to watch, and will be monumental to USA's history- for sure.

ps i am still not back to normal or recovered from illness. its been hard to eat the last few days and ive even given up soda. only drink gatorade or water which is hard for me since i am a total coca cola addict and need caffeine. sucks. my stomach still feels unsettled. it may take all week to feel better. sigh :/
