So today I was called for an emergency babysitting job at this new talk show called
The Jeremy Kyle Show. Well, actually it's not so new to the Brits. Turns out this is a really popular show in the UK that is coming to American TV this fall. I had to babysit the guests' kids in the green room while they were on the show. Because I wasn't totally sure what I was getting into, I gave Matt a call (my expert Brit) to find out a little more. Welp, turns out its essentially the English version of
Jerry Springer meets
Maury Povich. GREAT! Anyways, I don't want to talk too much about the family for privacy purposes...I don't know much about them anyway. The three little girls I was watching were adorable. I have no idea why the their mom was a guest on the show but I guess we'll only know when it airs this fall. Seeing shows like this makes you realize that your family isn't as crazy and messed up as you thought. I thank God for my upbringing. It's so unfair when innocent children are forced to live in these uncontrollable circumstances. To say the least, today was a unique babysitting experience...a lot of people running around with headsets on! Different!
After that I stopped by one of my all time favorite shops: TJ Maxx. TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Filene's Basement, H&M and Forever 21 are some of my favorite stores because I am a serious bargain shopper. I'm afraid to say it but I am turning into my mother. She happens to be an expert at finding the best things at these types of stores. Some people don't have the patience to weed through the endless racks of clothing, but my mom is a super star! I have gotten so many cute things from Marshalls and TJ's in particular because of her skills. Thanks Mom! Today I finally got a new little zip wallet for $9. I haven't been able to part with this stupid little butterfly change purse thing that I found in my closet from Christmases past. Who knows how long ago I got it as a gift...middle school? Then a year or two ago I found it still in its box in the depths of my closet waiting to be used. Well its been used...OUT! It's so middle school, so I thought it was time for a grown up wallet, but its been hard to find anything similar. I'm not crazy about change, so it had to be worth giving up my butterfly wallet that I was so used to and comfortable with. You can see it was a very good upgrade!
Finally, tonight I was able to start purging my bedroom of things I am not going to pack up and bring home. I think I had to finally say goodbye to 6 pairs of shoes that are years old and broken. I don't even wear them...the zippers on the boots don't even zip...the heels are non-existent, but I JUST CAN'T LET GO. I have random papers and bills around the room that just need to get tossed. Why didn't I throw them out months ago? No idea...thought they might be important late? They weren't...just a waste of space gathering dust. Something I did find was a bunch of playbills from the numerous shows I've seen over the past year in NYC. I have to say, thanks to working in this industry I've had some amazing experiences including opening night parties and seeing a lot of Broadway shows. Here are just some of the playbills I was able to find:
Cleaning this out has been a ride down memory lane of my past year. I have to say it's been amazing and I've met some great friends and have a ton of memories...but now its on to the next phase in a new city...a cleaner one ;)
Oh by the way, dinner turned out well! BBQ chicken and buttered pasta..I have a really exciting palette.
