I won the Talbots essay contest!

[CathyCA]

You will have so much fun. I love NYC.

I know we'll have fun! I hope we'll get to see some shows while we're there.

[CathyCA]

Think you'll get on Regis and whatshername? Perhaps Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee?

Small world: Kelly Ripa's in-laws live here in Greenville, just around the corner from Christian's school. She and Mark come to Greenville fairly often.

I don't think I'll get on TV in NYC.

Congrats, Cathy! That's awesome! Love the essay. Have a great time in the Big Apple!

Thanks, Cheryl!

[CathyCA]

Congrats! Cathy, you rock.

Thank you, Lisa. I think YOU rock!

That would great to see them on the NBC Today show!!!!!

Maybe I'll send my SILs out at the buttcrack of dawn to wave at the camera outside the Today Show studios.

My uncle is stage manager for the Today show.

Maybe he could get the camera man to focus on my SILs. Did I mention that the Today Show airs at the buttcrack of dawn?

[CathyCA]

I think they're going to film me for a commercial for their website. I read the fine print on the contract today, and I also won a styling session at the Talbots on Madison Avenue.

Do you think they expect me to spend my $500 gift card there?

I was hoping to spend the gift card at the Talbots outlet!

That is TOOOOOO cool!

I think so.

Always read the fine print!

Or look for some end-of-season sale stuff. Joy has found some nice prices with her savvy shopping.

[devildeac]

If you have trouble finding a 3rd/4th person, I am sure EJ and/or Ozzie might be willing to put on some pumps and join you.

You'ld do anything to get some Woodies. ;)

Huh?

Congrats Cathy! You'll have a blast! Glad I don't have to find some pumps in my size... But a Woody would be nice! DD has a collapsible cooler they use on planes to bring back sammiches!
