That crazy little sister of mine called me up one day and said "Guess what! I got tickets to the Ellen show, can you go?" At first, I was like, "Ya right. I can't afford that!" She then told me the price it would be, and it was totally reasonable, since there were so many of us going. So, I talked to Eric, called her back, and said "Count me in!"
We headed down to LA on Wednesday morning, and made it to St. George to pick up the rest of the tribe. By the time we got to St. George, Marge and I were both hoarse because we SANG ALL THE WAY THERE!!! I have never had so much fun on a long, boring car ride before. We picked up the rest of the girls and headed out to LA, which according to my clock, only took us 47 hours to get from St. George to LA. Not really, but that's what it seemed!
This might have been why we took so long getting to LA, we stopped at....Hmmm. I don't remember the name of the town, I call it Whiskey Pete's. Anywho, we ate at Taco Bell there, which for the record, is THE NASTIEST TACO BELL EVER!!!! It was fun though!
Next, was our stop in Barstow, which was were I had my first experience with BOOB DONUTS!!! This was the funniest thing ever. I am not going to post any pics of this, and I am not going to go into it.....
The next day was the Ellen show. It was kind of a rigamarole, and I don't know that I would jump at the chance to do it again, but I am definitely glad I went, and can say that I did! The guest that day was Shaun Hayes (aka Jack McFarland from Will and Grace). He is so stinkin cute!
While we were there, Ellen tried to get Shaun Hayes to say "jigsaw" and if he did, we won this fabulous prize:
"This" fabulous prize is a boom box/iPod docking thingie from Brookestone.
Also, Ingrid Michaelson was there and performed, and we got her CD, which is amazing!
Ok, I think the post is long enough...and I am tired. So, I will post more on the trip tomorrow....
