i was so close...

yesterday my friend sarah and i had a plan. we were going to see aaron rodgers on ellen. it was all lined up perfectly in our minds... it was early morning and we were on our way to warner brother studios in burbank. we were on a mission for the day of taping stand-by tickets. we kept calling. and calling. and calling. we arrived at lot 3 and talked to the production people. it didn't take long before our great plan was crushed. aaron was slipping away from me. i had to calmly talk myself out of throwing a little bratty kid tantrum...

Disappointment

today i had mixed emotions about watching aaron's appearance. i was still bucky about yesterday and having been so close yet so far away. but i also couldn't wait. the past 24 hours i have been teased with twitter updates from aaron and ellen. yes, i follow them both regularly (i also follow clay matthews - this will make more sense below). the updates went something like this...

AaronRodgers12: didn't get a chance to bust any moves on Ellen. Also no belt mention.

theellenshow: AaronRodgers12 came here to woo me today. He did a great job. I hope ClayMatthews52 doesn't find out.

ClayMatthews52: Ellen, don't let AaronRodgers12's materialistic gifts tear us apart...!

theellenshow: (to ClayMatthews52) Let's talk about this at dinner tonight!


FINALLY the time had come... ellen was on. aaron's appearance was coming up after the commercial break. OH NO, i was still at work and things in my athletic training room were busy... without hesitation, i called all treatments, rehabs and conversations to an immediate hault no questions asked. i instructed all kids, effective immediately, there would be a "no talking, no making noises, you are lucky i'm letting you all still breathe" policy in place until rodgers' appearance was complete. one student started to speak "ali, but what if..." i cut him off without saying a word. i simply gave a death glare and pointed to the door. he got the point.

without further adieu... something i've already watched 7 times...

(isn't he just adorable?)
