There was a lot of pressure today to make today's show flawless.
a LOT of pressure.
Actually, I think I was more nervous for *this* show than I was for my very first show at the anchor desk. I know...I'm a bundle of nerves...a little high strung...a little tightly-wound. I can't help it. I worry when I tell others not to...panic for no good reason, and overanalyze til I'm blue in the face. I'm a third-generation worry wart (thank you Mom and Baba...you pretty much could have left this one out of the gene pool :P) And no matter how hard I try...it can be a little hard to rein in.
I started freaking out this morning when I woke up, parted the shades and saw nothing but white. ::damnit::
I started worrying about the day long before I ever had to. Lame.
But what I will say is this...I have fantastic friends (and family). As Pete said, the show was a "flawless victory" (thank you, Mortal Kombat), and I couldn't have done it without him. Pete is my right-hand man on the weekends. You were on board with all my wacky-ness from the beginning, you've always had my back, and I'm pretty certain you would saw off a limb or two if it would make me happy. Today wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you. You rocked the house. Seriously. Thank you for putting up with my 9,000 phone calls. Thank you for rolling with the punches...and thank you for believing in me.
To David, who came in on his day off to run cameras, to Chad, who came in on his day off to help David, and help make sure all the video got to where it needed to be, to Daren, who also came in on his day off to make sure the I's were dotted, and the T's were crossed in Austin - THANK YOU. Thank you for answering the call when I called in a favor ;) And yes, I owe you all dinner -- we'll just have to space it out, so I can afford rent. Ok? Thanks ;)
To my personal cheerleading squad: My parents, Jill, Ross and Jonny - Thank you. Next time I'll have to send over some pom poms ;) Your encouragement meant so much, and helped keep me calm (even when that seemed outside of the realm of possibility). You reached for my hand and touched my heart. THANK YOU!
I'm a goof ball. An absolute worrying nut...but on Day 51, that overbearing nut had a phenomenal day...
And it's all because of friends...and favors :)
And I'm thankful for that.
