ELLEN!!!



I absolutely love the Ellen DeGeneres Show, awhile back (December) I went to her sight and requested tickets wanting to get into her 12 days of giveaways, like everyone else in the country. It is on a 1st come 1st serve basis, so when I saw "Tickets available" I jumped right on it. They called me about the date I had requested and said they had "stand by' tickets. So I gave it a try. I invited my good friend Gen Whitely. We stood in line and waited to see if we could get into the show, they only take a hand full of standby people, once again 1st come 1st serve. We weren't able to get into the live taping but got to sit in the "rift raft room" off to the side. Not so much fun, but Ellen did come back and stood at the top of the stairs to acknowledge us and waved! :) The plus side of this room is that you pick a date to come back again for a guaranteed audience seat!

3 months had passed and we got our guaranteed tickets! We were so excited, we had made friends with a mother and her daughter the 1st time we went, and met them again this time and sat with them.
Jason stayed home and watched the kids both times we went which I am truly grateful for.
We got in and they told us that we were taping Ellen's 1800th show! We knew we had to get a giveaway :)

They sat us and I was told to sit in the isle seat. I guess I looked good enough for the camera haha. I love to dance and Ellen's show you do a whole lot of it, seriously it was a workout. I was even called to go up in front and show my moves! (Before they started taping) I had the time of my life. They started taping and came dancing up to our isle and stopped right next to us. I am seen on TV for a few, and yes we got a giveaway, a flip camcorder!
