CK Scarves in on the News!

August 12, 2015
 
Today started like any day: wake up, get ready for the day, put makeup on, load the dishwasher, straighten up my bedroom and rush out the door to go to an appointment with my Grandparents. It's while I was hurrying to get to my grandparents appointment that my day became interesting. My cell phone rang while I was driving, but I don't answer calls while driving so when I got where I was going I checked my voicemail. I had missed a call from a neighbor (whom will be anonymous for now...) who was calling to talk to me about my chemo scarf project. I figured she probably knew someone going through cancer and wanted me to mail them a scarf. No problem. I called her back and she said she had been talking to a friend about my project and they told a friend who works at Channel 2 News. This Channel 2 News guy liked my project and asked my friend if she thought I'd let him interview me for the news. She relayed all that to me and said if I was interested they actually would be in my area and wanted to do the interview at 1:30pm TODAY! I explained that I was at a doctor appointment and didn't think I could be home in time, so she called Channel 2 to see if they could do my interview next week. It turns out they really wanted to get my interview done today, so they rearranged their schedules so they could come at 3pm.

This whole time the thoughts running through my head went something like this: 
'Oh my goodness! I am so excited to share this scarf project!' 
'If sharing my project will help find people who need one of my scarves then this is totally worth it!'

'Man I should have worn a better outfit'
 'I wonder how my hair looks?'
'Boy am I glad I changed my fingernail polish!'
'Will I have time to straighten up my house before the  interview?

These are all normal thoughts, right?

After my grandparents appointment and a nice lunch I picked up my boys from their grandma's house and rushed home to get my house 'TV' ready. Channel 2 stopped by right at 3pm. There were 3 men; 2 of them were in just ordinary t-shirts and shorts and the 3rd guy was dressed up real nice and business like. I figured the man dressed nice was the one who would be doing the interview. I was wrong. He just hung off in the corner and listened to my interview. The short version of this story is that my interview is really going to be shared as one of the Pay it Forward segments on Channel 2 News! I had no idea! Even up to the point where the nicely dressed guy opened up the envelope with $500 cash! I had been so caught up in my excitement to share what I was doing through the interview that it didn't even register that it could be that.

My story is going to be aired on August 26th on Channels 2's 10pm news! So, I propose we have a news watching party! Who would like to come to my house and watch the news with me? Never mind that its a school night...
Give me a holler if you think you'd like to come!
