Oscar Countdown

The Oscars are only 1 day away and while this seems minor in the whole scheme of life, I still secretly love all the hoopla and glam. Who am I kidding, it's no secret. I will be anxiously awaiting the Red Carpet countdown as if it were New Year's Eve. The dresses, the hair, the shoes, the handbags, it's a fragrance that captivates me and holds me prisoner until the show actually starts.

Although I wonder why my obsession with the Oscars overrides say the CMA's, which I have attended, a gift from my husband for my 40th Birthday (4 years ago) hair done by Frederick Feikai, Make Up by Chanel and gown well, let's just say it was stunning! We walked the Red Carpet straight out of the Limo to a huge barrage of photographers shooting at rapid speed like a machine gun swiftly taking out the enemy, only to fall to silence after 3 minutes when they realized I was nobody. I didn't care, I was on the Red Carpet and continued down the carpet where I was sandwiched in between Carrie Underwood and someone else I did not know. It was a beautiful evening with my husband.

After returning from that trip and trying to explain to one of our (at the time) 5 year old twins that I talked to Carrie Underwood (her favorite American Idol), she could not quite understand how that wouldn't now qualify us as friends and could we please call her. I still laugh at that one.

My husband will no doubt not tune in until the show actually starts as he will want to see if his "Office Oscar Picks" come through for him. This is funny because I was the one that completed the form.

So cheers to the Oscars, The 82nd Academy Awards for continuing with tradition. Bring on the dresses!!!
