The surprise SNL tickets threw a monkey wrench into our travel plans because we'll already be in New York the week prior to the taping. Should we come back home and fly back out the following weekend? Or should we stay an extra week on vacation? Man, that's a stupid question. Of course we stay an extra week!
We're already going to be in New York for a week, and we were just there 3 months ago, so maybe we should take the extra week and go somewhere else. Hmmm, but where? I start digging around last night, and we decide on London.
It's not a bad way to kill an extra week. Plus, we'll have fun talking with the cool accent and offering each other Grey Poupon.

Hair Today, Gone Today
Today. I put 10 incheds of my hair in an envelope and mailed it off
to help cancer patients. It's weird. It's kind of like cutting off your arm and putting it in the mail. I scared the bejeesus out of Johnny when I first got it cut and the bundles of hair were sitting on the dining room table. "What is that?! An animal?"

So, I like to think that I'm helping some people live just a little better because my blood is flowing through their veins or my hair is on their head.

SNL
I've been watching SNL since I was a kid. I use to watch it in my room on a 13 inch tv. And, I remember thinking "when I grow up, I'm going to win 8 gold medals at the Olympics, and I'll get to host the show and watch them film it live in the studio."
Flash forward 1o years: when I got out of college, I still couldn't swim, so I started looking into how to tickets for SNL. Back then, you could only send 1 postcard in the month of getAugust to request tickets. It's a lottery system, so I figured with my awesome luck, I'd get tickets. No problem. Sure thing.
Well, I didn't get tickets that first year, or the second, or the seventh...well, you get the picture. Recently, they changed their system where instead of sending a postcard, you send an email. I diligently sent in my email every year, but still didn't get any tickets. It was around August 28th this year that I realized, "Crap, I hadn't sent in my email yet!" So, I mechanically sent one, and haven't thought about it since.
This morning, I check my inbox and low and behold...I got an email from NBC saying I got tickets to SNL! I had to do a quadruple take. After 11 years of trying, I'm finally going to be able to see it live. I get to bring 1 guest. I guess Johnny will have to do a lot of groveling if he wants me to take him.
