Passed Over

Well we didnt get called, but I am surprised to say I am not heartbroken about it. The more the realization hit, the more nervous I was starting to be. I would have been very excited to have been picked, but the more I thought about it the more I thought maybe it wasnt the best idea.

What if..................

• we ended up with Hildi and she put something nasty on our walls (like hay or cardboard as in previous shows)
• they put a TON of holes in our brand new walls
• we had to pay taxes on a room we absolutely detested (they 1099 you $2500.00- $3500.00 on the value of the room)

Besides Ron doesnt think I could have handled two days of labor intensive work, probably not, but I would have had him delivering starbucks to keep me going.
So it would have been an absolute ball that I would have totally loved, but it is not meant to be. Turns out they only called Sedona people (like they cant afford to redo their own room) so in a way that is better than us being turned down because they didnt think we are fun or quirky enough, because anyone that knows me knows I am as quirky as they come. But one good note is that my friend was called for stage two of the process, and now has a 50/50 chance.

They Called!!!!

They Called.....the Trading Spaces people actually called!!

They probably call everyone that submits an application, but at least they still called us. They set up a phone interview with us tomorrow, they are doing the teams seperately, which I think is a bit odd.

I assume the phone interview gives them a feel of sorts to what kind of people we are. I am sure they are looking for fun people who will make a good show. Then after that I have no clue what will happen next. We are starting to get scared now about doing it if picked. The more I read about how Hildi does her room the more scared I get to wreck my brand new home.

Stay Tuned....................

Who defines social??

Social dance class........isn't it being social to just show up for your lesson??
Apprently not!
Social (as per the instructor) is defined as switching partners.

Switching with people you dont even meet until they are touching you.
Switching with people whose hips have a mind of their own......which also has no business gyrating anywhere near mine if I am not married to them.
Switching with people that smell like old cheese.

Well unfortunitely this kind of social is not for us, so dance class is now out, we will find something else for our date night.

I am SOOOO Ready to Trade Spaces!!!

Trading Spaces, a favorite show of mine for years, is coming to a town near me....NEAR ME!!!!! I am so excited....so excited in fact, that a friend and I have applied to be on it. We filled out our application, took our photos and emailed it all in. Now we wait....wait to see if we are quirky enough to be picked to be on the show.
I really hope we are picked, but if not just the thought of it coming so close, and being able to put in an application is so much fun.....but boy would it be WAY the heck funner to be on the show!!
So now we just kind of wait to hear from them if they pick us or not. Don't know how long we have to wait, the suspense is quite maddening actually, especially when you aren't even sure that your email and application even get looked at.
Time will tell!
