wheel!

[chestnutcurls]

If I don't accomplish anything interesting this year, at least I can say that I went to a taping of Wheel of Fortune! I ended up driving by myself to Nashville, which was a more pleasant experience than I had expected. It was a pretty day, the scenery was nice, and I could listen to anything I wanted. :) I got to Opry Mills without much incident and met Kathy and her family and Daniel and his family for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Then we went over to the Grand Ole Opry house for the taping. We had to sit there for an hour and a half beforehand, because the seats weren't guaranteed. This gave me plenty of time to take pictures of the stage and stuff. They taped three episodes, which will air Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Valentine's week. (Look for me- I was in the balcony, wearing a bright yellow Aeropostale fleece.) It was fun, although the novelty sort of wore off after a while. We saw Pat and Vanna, and Charlie the announcer, and several life-sized Hershey's Kisses that danced around before commercial breaks. When they finished taping the show, they had to do several promo spots which were sort of interesting to watch.

Anyway, it was an adventure, and I don't have anything else to talk about right now.
