Do 43 things i've never done before!

Very cool!

We were walking down the Third Street Promenade a few weeks ago when we were approached to be on People’s Court. My husband, mother and I were herded into a little taped off square where we were briefly introduced to the court cases for a show that will air on January 4th. Harvey Levin stuck a microphone in my face, asked a question, and I answered. We’ll see if I make the cut.

We were trained how to go into rooms down a long hall looking for suspects (played by ATF agents) with paint ball guns. I was shot in the arm. It was exhilarating and challenging.

Was rigged with an earbud so I could stay in touch with others on my team as we trailed an ATF agent playing a drug dealer around a SoCal shopping mall. I have dreams about these kinds of spy games. Too fun.

This is me shooting a Thompson submachine gun. Also shot a bunch of other guns on range day with the ATF Citizen’s Academy. I am not a gun fan, but I have to say it was fun to get to do something so out of my comfort zone.

It wasn’t very hard, just required some attention. I am not a sweet pickle fan, but I like these.

Wrote about it on my blog.

These things have been chewing on our house so loudly that they wake us up. We caught one last night and the other 5 in the family were borderline aggressive in the dark.

Took us a total of 13 1/2 hours over 3 days. Hydra and I work well together. And he knows when to go get the camera, too. ;)

I knew JayDee was good, but I didn’t realize just how good when he showed up at Roadster’s surprise party and played with the terrific backup band. He played the break when I sang “Walk Right Back.” Wow!
