I Went to the Bonnie Hunt Show Yesterday and All I Got Was this Dumb Mask


After tonight this may be the last time you see this face
So I got this email asking if I wanted "VIP" tickets to the Bonnie Hunt Show and that they had "giveaways" as an enticement. I called my friend, Nancy Metcalf, to see if she wanted to join me again. The shooting was yesterday for today's airing. Along w/ lousy hot dogs and moderately cold root beer they gave us a duck whistle, a Christmas ideas book (didn't I just get rid of all this junk in my garage sale?) and a mask to wear expressing our candidate of choice. If I'd been smart I should have asked for an Obama mask also so I could bring it home to Chelsea as a souvenir. Then we could both be in the picture. Oh well.
The upside is that while I was trying to take my picture on the self-timer mode of my camera Chelsea came walking in the room from her bedroom and jumped about 3 feet high.
"What are you doing?" she screamed. "It freaked me out that some old man was sitting in the living room!"
The downside? It almost brought little Sawyer into our world 6 weeks early. Her perinatologist already delivered 3 little babies today on election day (Chelsea had an appointment today that had to be rescheduled). He didn't need to assist with another one.
I hope if your candidates and issues won tonight that you're happy, and if not, well, there's 2012 when we can do this all over again.

That mask MUST be used to scare the hell out everyone. First start off by peering into random people's windows. But um...I'm not trying to encourage my aunt to get arrested or anything. =)

You kind of look like a child predator. Go Obama!
