{On the Home & Family set yesterday}

My favorite (and only) husband Tony appeared on this morning’s episode of Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel! They filmed it yesterday at Universal Studios, and I had the best time wife’ing it up in the wings. I sat in the front row of the audience and made wife faces at all the silly things Tony said, and I’m pretty sure there are some meme-worthy reaction shots of me rolling my eyes or giving over-eager thumbs up. They showed a clip of the tape that got him a live SNL audition in New York four years ago, and they also shared a clip from the audition tape that landed him School of Rock. It got me really emotional, thinking about how far he has come and where we are now. Specifically, that his career is in a place that he gets to be on a morning talk show and drag me along, and I get to watch him with googly eyes in total disbelief I was somehow lucky enough to marry him. And snack on Joy Bauer’s healthy jalapeno poppers and chocolate cupcakes with avocado frosting and then TALK TO HER (I’m a foodie fangirl. You know this.) AND be in close proximity to the baby pigs on set. I didn’t get to hold them, but I did stare at them for a long, long time and take about 10 million pictures (which I will share in Friday’s gratitude list). I also learned that they are 1) up for adoption and 2) can grow to be 650 lbs. Tony, you were asking what I want for my birthday next week and I think I know!

If you’re as antsy as me for the weekend to just get here already (School of Rock premieres this Saturday after the Kids Choice Awards and I am SO. EXCITED.), here are some distractions to help get you through… HAPPY HUMP DAY!
