The Ellen Show!!

Okay, this was a great day!! So Brooke Baker got tickets to go see the Ellen show and she asked me, Mariah and her sister in law Christy to go. So we made our husbands watch the kiddies (well, really Danielle did most of the watching -- thanks!!) and we hopped in the car and made a day of it. We didn't get there in time to actually sit in the audience of the show (we had stand-by tickets) but we got into the Riff-Raff Room and danced our butts off (I wish that was an actual true statement because mine could use some down-sizing, but oh well). I even caught a t-shirt that says, "I danced with Ellen"!!

Anyway, we had an awesome time. Especially when the special surprise guest was DAVID freakin' BECKHAM!!! I seriously had to tell myself to breathe because I thought I was going to die. If only we had been in the audience (although, it was probably a good thing because I really might have died).

Anyway, that wasn't even the best part. So we were pulling out of the NBC studios and Brooke heard some girls screaming. And she said "OH MY GOSH, ELLEN IS BEHIND US!!" Ellen Degeneres was actually pulling up next to us in her little gray porsche!!! Brooke slowed waaaay down (the guy behind us was pretty ticked) and she ended up RIGHT next to us. We rolled down our windows and started yelling like little girls, "Ellen we love you!!" and she totally rolled down her window and hung up her cell phone and started talking to us!!!!! I was so star struck. She was so so so nice, too. I couldn't believe she actually stopped to talk to us.


We told her we went to her show and we only made it into the Riff-Raff Room and she was like, "oh, that's too bad" (or something like that) and Mariah said, "But we're coming back on April 30th!!" and Ellen was said, "well I'll be there!" in her funny Ellen voice. We even asked her what the traffic was like right then and she said she didn't know, that is was probably "trafficky."

Anyway, it was awesome (I only wish I had videotaped it, too. I was too star struck to think of anything), and it was all thanks to Brooke AND the fact that we both pulled our straw wrappers successfully into knots and wished we would get to see Ellen. I can't wait to go back!!
