I have a new found respect for people who blog daily. I'm lucky if I brush my teeth daily!* Anyway... it's 6:00 on a Friday night and I'm getting ready for the weekend. So why not blog? First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you Oprah for TOAL (Trip of a Lifetime), our two-week cruise you may have read about in the tabloids. Let's just say don't believe everything you read. Unless I'm writing it. Then believe away.... So here's the deal: two weeks of non-stop fun in six countries (including the vatican, which is apparently its own country. Who knew?) I won't say too much more. You'll just be annoyed you weren't there. Or, I'll tell you about the one bad thing that happened. I got stung by a jellyfish in Malta. Ouch! I learned that you're supposed to wash the sting with vinegar -- not pee like you may have heard.

And with that I take you to the season premiere. Here's a fun little promo link for season 24: http://www.youtube.com/user/OPRAH. Gotta love the Black Eyed Peas. It's legal to post that, right? I am working on the first two shows: Whitney Houston and..... Can't tell ya the second one yet. But it is going to be good! And I promise I'll tell you once we make the official announcement. In the meantime, any great Whitney moments? Feel free to share and thanks for reading!
