Peace of mind











Time? HAHAHA you ask? Listen, I have the best intentions with this blog, but find myself completely consumed right now at work, so I will do my best to not drift away. UPDATES:

I have worked on a lot of segments lately and have done a huge amount of research for my favorite producers! I helped with Dierks Bentely when he came through, Tori Spelling, the "Stuff Your Spanx" game on Kathie Lee and Hoda (which I was on TV for a little bit hahaha), the Tara Conner piece, as well as Mel B. (from the Spice Girls) who has a new workout DVD out. I have been pretty busy. I have also spent the last 3 weeks in the control room every morning from 6am to 9am as an assistant to the exec. producer. It was an amazing experience and I am sad that it is over, but couldn't have been happier to have had the opportunity to do it. I have never really spent time in a control room and it was amazing to watch it light up every morning and see the backbone of the show! They are all really, really awesome people!
JASON CAME TO NYC! He came Friday the 6th and left Monday the 9th (at 6am) and we had a blast! I took him to my neighborhood and showed him my apartment, we took the subway, I gave him a tour of 30 Rock, so he got to see the SNL floor and then the observation floor, which looks down on the set, as well as the Conan stage and my floor, of course. We went to the Empire State Building at night and made out (hahaha) and also took the subway a bunch. We went and got a slice of pizza and walked around the city! It was so much fun! I am trying to figure out how to work my video camera still so I can load some of what we did. It was magic! I felt full for the first time since I left. I hate that I am not as independant as I thought. Truth is, he is my pulse and my heart doesn't work right without him. I know, I know, it is mushy, but I don't care. I am away from not only my husband, but my bestfriend, so it's like being hit twice. Also am 3000 miles away from any family or friends, so it is gut-wrenchingly painful at times, but I have discovered parts of me I didn't know were there through all of this. Parts of me that I am so blessed to have found. I have a clarity now about my life that I was always searching for. This experience is priceless. I love the Today Show and everything I am doing here, and in 5 days I get to see my family again and meet my new nephew, Oliver!
As Mindy Smith says I have found Peace of mind and a miracle.
