Oh, what a fun day!

The HGTV crew was here today.  Actually it was just Dan...A one-man show but boy did he know what he was doing!  He's just a few years older than my son.  I was so impressed with his professionalism at such a young age!  Here I am (awful picture) in front of the camera. I was still very nervous at this point.  I started to relax a little as we got into it more.

Here's Dan setting everything up.  Below are some photos of my apartment with all the great lights set up.  (click on the photos to enlarge)


I had so much fun doing this and I am so happy that I went outside of my comfort level in order to experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!  It was such a great day and I will never forget it.   Lauren came home from school just in time to see the last part of the filming.  I think she really enjoyed seeing it.  She told me she would never be able to what I did which really surprises me because she is a lot more outgoing and social than I am!  She had the opportunity to be on camera with me but declined from the beginning.  

I ended up not setting the table because I was told there would be video of me looking at my laptop at the HGTV Rate my Space site so I thought I should leave the table clear.  We ended up shooting it with me sitting in a chair in the living room.

The show will air sometime in the fall.  That is a long wait, but I'm sure it will be here before we know it!
