Jeepers... Where is everyone today??? I thought for sure I would get people out and talking today. Guess not.
Anyhoo... so last night the girls had swim class. As we are struggling to leave the Y, hubby walks ahead and takes Kate out while I am still trying to get Emma to walk up the stairs (she is independent). We get to the top of the stairs and she wants a drink from the fountain because they have glasses there. So I am waiting for her to make her mess and I hear this familiar voice. I peek around the corner and OMG....
It's CARROT TOP..............
I so wanted to scream... OMG you are Carrot Top... but I didn't. So he is standing by the door (alone) waiting for his ride back to the hotel. So I am trying to prod Emma along and he walks over and says.... Oh she is cute... Me being the nice person that didn't want to be a psycotic fan, just replied with a thank you. I know most celebreties want to be treated normal, so I did that. Then he held the door and said bye to us and laughed because Emma was kind of starting to crab up. He was soooooo nice. And much shorter and skinnier than I thought. He is doing a show tonight here and I guess wanted to work out. He was wearing a stocking cap and all you could see was his red curls sticking out. So it was hard at first to tell it was him.
So I run outside with Emma and hubby had seen him too and said HI. TOOO COOOOLLLL. He thinks my daughter is cute.
That's me. I am feeling better today. We are short staffed tho, so it kind of sucks. Will be this way tomorrow too.
HEy Girls I'm kindof Frantic today my sis is in the hospital I'm tried dialing her room but no ones there so i'm thinking she's in 4 her exploratory surgery she's in unexplainable pain care for a cup of stress?
JenL I'm so glad carrot turned out too be nice! I once had a brush with greatness. . .I met Chris O'Donnell
Hello everyone. I didn't get back yesterday cause I had an afternoon meeting that dragged on forever. It was pretty irritating.
Jen - I love your brush with a star. I used to work in film and TV and I'd be on set with all these "stars" and there are rules in your contract that you can't talk to them unless they talk to you and you aren't allowed to ask for autographs and all this strange stuff. Then they act all huffy cause no one is fawning all over them (ok that was really just David Duchovny) the other ones I've met were just normal people doing their jobs. It might have been fun to see what he would have said if you recognized him.
Jess - I hope your meeting is not as irritating as mine was yesterday
Kier - Let us know if you got through. You should try the nursing station and see if they know anything
KT... I would have loved to ask for an autograph, but I had nothing with me for it and I didn't want to bother him with it. And I think he knew that I knew who he was. After all, I was staring. And the reason I heard his voice is because a lady was bugging him. So it was kind of obvious who he was after that. But I was pretty much the only other person standing there except for the Y staff behind the counters. So that was cool. OH and I had just gotten done swimming with the kids, so my hair was in a pony tail and my makeup was pretty much gone. But I was at the Y, so most people are not gorgeous there.
Oh and I used to work for the State Fair here and met performers there. It is just so different when you are a commoner under normal conditions.
Jen - it's funny too cause you were just saying the other day about your landlord being an 80s rock star but now he's just your landlord. It's like a little thrill when you actually recognize someone walking around totally out of context with the way you know them. I wonder if anyone ever asks him for a lock of his hair...? Now that would be weird.
KT... our landlord doesn't have big 80's hair anymore tho. BUT, when we moved in here last February, we were digging in the basement and found a tape of his band from then with his pic on the front. I have it in my office and every once in awhile someone here wants to either look at it or play it. Too funny... Oh and then a couple months ago this guy come in looking for the landlord. He was tall and skinny and balding and said he was a buddy of his. So we pulled out the tape and swear it was one of the guys from the band... except no big hair for him anymore either, in fact.. no hair!!!
My Brush with Fame Thursday...
