The other day I was on the treadmill at the gym (natural good mood enhancer - exercise) and I plugged my headphones into the channel that was showing "The Price is Right". It had been a LONG time since I had watched this show. I mean I haven't seen it since the "remember to spay and neuter your pets.." Bob Barker days. I forgot how much I loved this show. The first guy up was so excited - you know how they get - jumping up and down pointing to the audience etc.. well this guy was especially excited. Just watching him made me excited for him. So of course it was revealed that he would be able to try to win a brand new Jeep Cherokee. Well if you thought this guy was excited to be a contestant now he was overcome. He was getting down doing break dance moves and his girlfriend in the audience was fainting. Well as luck would have it, he won that Jeep. And watching him get excited made me smile and even laugh out loud (those people exercising by me without headphones probably thought I was nuts but, Oh well). And then watching contestant after contestant get excited to be called and excited if they won - that show is all about happiness - happiness that you have got a quick chance to do something great -to earn a quick reward. I decided then and there that first of all, someday I want to be a member of that audience and second of all, that show puts me in a good mood. Watching Joe Shmo off the street try to win awesome prizes just has a way of putting a smile on my face. So DVR a few episodes of Price is Right to watch on your hard days. It is sure to bring a smile to your face and maybe even a chuckle. And you might even learn the correct price of a hand blender - so double the benefit and watch. :)
Oh, I have argued this same point for YEARS! Nick and I actually went for our 5th anniversary, slept on the sidewalk to get in, sat on the front row, right behind the contestants! I even made T-shirts that said "5 years of married bliss, nothing compared to a Bob Barker kiss!" Unfortunately, I am the most UN-lucky person in the world so I didn't get called. But the GOOD energy in that room is unreal! We should go together sometime. It's much easier in a big group...20 or more, then you get tickets, and 1 of your group will for sure get called. I have this all figured out.
ReplyDeleteWhat the---!?!?!? You have another blog and I didn't even KNOW about it!? And I LOOOOOOOOVE it too! What a fun blog!!!! Yeah, the Price is Right is seriously good fun. A friend of ours won a kitchen rack thingy on it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love you! and miss you! I can just see you cracking up on the treadmill in a gym! Seeing people look at you funny. That makes me laugh just thinking about it! Your post put me in a good mood! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice blog. The Price is Right was my little brother's favorite show for forever. How is it with Drew?
ReplyDeleteI used to love that show and watch it all of the time. I guess I'm going to need to get back to watching it! One of the guys Corey used to work with won a really nice grill from being on that show!
