The Ellen Show!

So for the past couple of months, I had been trying to get tickets to go on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Since I am home most of the time in the late afternoon now, I watch her almost daily. Finally, at the beginning of March, I got a call saying I won 4 tickets to the show! The tickets were for the taping on April 21st for the April 22nd show on Earth Day.

So I invited my friends Jamie, Bridget, and Allison, and yesterday, we headed to Warner Brother Studios in Burbank, CA to see Ellen!

We knew that it was going to be a special show because it was her Earth Day show. I thought we might get a free tote bag or something like that in honor of the day. But we got so much much more!

It started with the wonderful guests.... Wanda Sykes; Even Lysacek and his partner from Dancing with the Stars, Anna; a contestant from last season's American Idol, Jason Castro; and as a surprise, Russell Crowe. What a great line up!

Then the amazing surprises came (and I still cannot believe it).... First we were given the new album from Jason Castro (cool!). Then, in honor of Earth Day, Ellen gave us a dvd of Avatar (great!). But, she wondered whether or not we had a TV to watch it on..... so she gave us a 32'' Insignia, flat screen, 1080p, HD TV (holy cow!!!). I thought I was going to cry. Finally, at the very end of the show, Ellen wanted to promote "green" living in all areas of our homes. So she gave us organic sheets and a duvet set (awesome!)...... and just in case we didn't have a bed to use those sheets with...... A NEW BED (AHHHH!!!!)! We got a "green" king bed!!! I still cannot believe it!!

So, go watch The Ellen Show today!! You will be able to see me (and my friends). I have an end seat and Ellen comes to dance near me.

I have not posted the giveaways on Facebook yet. I was going to wait until after the show aired. But I couldn't hold it in any longer and had to blog about it :D

What a great day with friends and Ellen!!!
