So I’ve spent about 3 hours today on Polyvore and I sucked Chuck in for another one hour. That’s a total of 4 hours. Yipes! Despite that, I have had a pretty productive day. I took my residents to the local ABC Studios to watch Sonoran Living Live. We were told we should leave by 7am, so I had to be up by 5:45 so I could be on the road by 6:20. I actually got up at 6:00 and still managed to make it out the door. I had never watched the show, and it was a lot of fun being a part of a studio audience. For some reason, I thought it was going to be taped and aired another day, but it was live. I guess the whole Sonoran Living LIVE, should have been a dead give away. My residents started fretting because we had no one taping it. I whipped out my phone and called Chucklebutt who got the job done. He was still asleep when I called (on account he went to bed at 4:30am) so was a bit iffy on the whole set-up. When he turned on 15, GMA was still on and they were reporting live from NY. He knew we didn’t hop a lear jet to NYC for the morning, so after flipping back and forth, finally managed to make it back to the right channel. They were showing the studio audience (comprised mostly of white-hairs) and Chuck was like, “aaaahhhhhaaaa! Old People! Is Nicole amongst them?” Sure enough I was! 😀

It’s sorta like “Where’s Waldo?”  Can you spot me?

The two gals that are standing were the hosts of the show.  I can’t remember their names.  They were very sweet and gracious and my residents had a ball.  Incidentally, the gal in purple  is so tiny, I wanted to give her a burger right there on the spot!

Here’s the camera man who was filming us throughout.  The show consists of all sorts of segments — fashion, food, beauty, etc. and we got great take home gifts.  Nothing like being on Oprah, but still fun stuff.  Once we left the studio, we all decided we would take a nap.  I had nothing planned for the rest of the day except a dinner outing, so I thought a nap was a great idea.  And that’s exactly what most of the residents did.  I took Chuck with me to dinner on account of all the ladies loving Chucklebutt.  Who wouldn’t?  He’s so cute and lovable!

Tomorrow, we have a pretty busy day.  Chuck is leading a photo-walk in downtown Tempe and then we are all going out to eat with the photographers.  See this for more info.  It’s going to be hot as hell, and I’m thinking it might be a great time to duck into all the great shops on Mill.  One of my favorite bookstores is going out of business and I may try and pick up a few deals.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.  I saw Remy running around today, and I think Chuck and I are going to have to get a little aggressive with him.  I’m not really sure what that means, but rest assured, he will live to see another day — just maybe in an undisclosed location far from our property.  Of course he could be telling all his family members about his sweet crib and then I don’t know what we’ll do.

Have a great weekend everyone!  Thank you for all your positive words and prayers regarding Chuck’s health!  It means a lot to us to know we have such great friends and family.  Sweet Dreams!
