I had such a fun afternoon… I wish you could all see it.
Oh wait. You can!
Meeting the staff from Twin Cities Live was a blast… they are so friendly and funny and helpful, I wish I could have stayed there all day!
John and Elizabeth were totally sweet and easy to talk to! They spent more then a half hour prior to the show just chatting and getting to know all the guests. They posed for pictures and answered questions and laughed politely at my guests poorly told stories.
My little spot wasnt until later, so it was kinda fun to see the show prior to that.
Here was a round table discussion about Bristol Palins' abstinence pact. They talked about whether it was an attainable enough goal and the realities of abstinence. Oh you know I was biting my tongue on that one!
This was a health or exercising segment… it was about balance. I thought John was hilarious trying to do the poses. He was actually really good!
And here is me on the show. I was SO nervous. I know people say that, but. I . Was. Nervous.
I think my toes were even sweating. And I kept moving and swinging appendages all over. And interrupting. And not answering the questions they asked. And generally dispelling the whole preconceived notions of how a successful interview should go.
And please believe me, the camera DOES add 10 pounds. More like 57 extra in my case.
Just sayin.

And just in case anyone out there is asking, "Why does she get to be on TV? What makes her so special?"
I will tell you.
Nothing. I got to be on TV because I asked them. No one approached me. No one even knew about me until I introduced myself.
Me and my little blog are NO more special then the next guy. As a matter of fact, some of the blogs that I had wanted to talk about have far more readers then me! And are funnier. And prettier. And have better pictures. And deserve more recognition!
I know I have said this before, but I believe that everyone has gifts, and if we want to be recognized for our gifts, sometimes we need to let others know!
Even though this is cliche, I really, really mean it.
If I can do it, anyone can!
*Speaking of, Twin Cities Live is hosting a contest right now for a cooking segment. Can you cook? All you have to do is submit a little tape of you and you could $2000 from Cub or a regular cooking segment on their show!
Great job Amanda! I wish I could have seen it “live.” Sadly, I don’t get to watch much daytime TV. It’s either off or on PBS or NickJR.
But, seriously, GREAT job! I couldn’t tell that you were nervous at all!
take care,
Jen
Good for you and great job! And even better for you for putting yourself out there! Kudos!
What are you talking about? That was a fantastic interview!! You look so good and you were funny(like always).
i really thought you were great! you looked great and “performed” wonderfully! way to go!
You did great!
Wow–great job!! It will be fun to see how many more tv spots you get in the future…I think you could do a weekly segment “via satelite” for sure. Not that you have time for something like that, but you’d sure be good at it! 🙂
Awesome segment and interview.
You reminded me so much of Ree.
Hey there my famous friend! I am so happy for you and I think it’s great that you contacted the show. I’m sure they were glad you did!
By the way, you look fabulous!
Cheers to you!
Wow, that was great! You are such a natural! And funny!
Congrats on your appearance. You did a terrific job representing us mom bloggers!
Amanda! You did great…absolutely great! You have this wonderful way of hiding “nervous.”
