Starstruck

I'm a little late in writing about this. It happened on February 2nd when I was in New York City for work. But first let me back up. Dwight and I watch the Today Show every morning while getting ready for work. I admit, I have a little crush on Matt Lauer. I also have always wanted to be in the outdoor audience for the show. That Thursday, we didn't have to go into work until 9:30 so my co-worker and I took a walk down past Rockefeller Center. We thought we'd see all the people crowded around where the broadcast the show and the outdoor plaza area. Well, there was hardly anyone there. We asked the security guard why there wasn't anyone there. He said it was because it was February and there are no tourists in New York in February. We got right up to front of the barrier. Pretty soon, Matt, Al, and Ann came out! Ann went back inside right away but Matt and Al walked around and talked to people and took pictures between broadcast segments. Matt came over to us and my coworker got a picture of him with me! I was in heaven! I texted Dwight that I was in the audience of the show. Within a few minutes he texted me back a picture of me and my coworker on the TV screen! He had actually seen me before I texted him while he was getting ready. He rewound the TV (DDR) and took a picture of the screen! Technology is a miracle in itself! Anyhow, I was just SO excited. We just went out for a walk and ended up on TV and I had my picture with Matt Lauer!  I just wish I would've put on some make-up!!!
