Home Sweet Home

We're home from the ACM Award Show trip, but let me tell you - we are changed people. Where do I start! How about with the most exciting stuff! The award show was simply amazing. We had great seats. Blake and I were sitting between Dr. Phil and his wife (my side) and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill (Blake's side) who weren't up for any awards this year - so sad. Most of you probably don't know this, but Blake dabbles in writing country music lyrics. He had written out one of his songs, and passed it over to Tim McGraw during the show. He loved it! He said that he's going to call Blake about recording it, and even gave us the phone numbers to his "people" to set up a date! I about died. I was mad at him for bothering Tim McGraw at first, but after everything unfolded, I was ecstatic. I didn't say much to Dr. Phil. I was honestly too starstruck. He's a very big man. After the Award Show we wandered over to the after party. Can you say amazing! We were sitting with our friends, but then Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman ended up at our table, too. Blake has issues with Keith Urban (outspoken Democrat) and they ended up almost going to blows over a few key issues. What a nightmare. He DID, however, get a chance to remind Martina McBride about the time she was waitressing in the cat suit. She pulled him up on stage and they told the story to the whole crowd. Everyone was cracking up, and I was just a tad jealous, I must say. That's when I really could have used Dr. Phil. After the party we went back to the hotel, and on a whim I put a quarter in a slot machine. Would you believe I hit the Wheel of Fortune Jackpot! It had built up to just over $75,000 and I swear every light, bell and whistle in that casino went off! Security had to come over and make me fill out a bunch of paperwork. THEN - I guess I must have really been making a scene because the talent recruiter for one of the Vegas shows came over and asked me if I'd like to audition to be one of their showgirls! He was probably just trying to get a piece of my winnings, so I told him I wouldn't be interested but it was an honor just to be asked.

I can't think of any other stories to make up, so that's it for now. I'll post the real story after I get some rest and do my laundry.
