And so we've come to the end of another week, and I'm looking foward to enjoying my weekend.  I have no plans for Friday, but I'm sure I can come up with something!

On Saturday night, I have agreed to do something that frankly shocks me.  I can't believe i got talked into this, but I'm going to be a contestant in the Mr. HOTBear contest.

I don't know if I'm going to win, but I have to tell you that there are lots of guys who think I am the hot.  So, to reward these men for their good taste, I'm going to parade around the bar in skimpy clothes and try to win.  Why not?  It's not like I have tons of dignity anymore...

So I'll let everyone know on Monday how that came out.  If nothing else, it's a great story to tell.  You know how I like to do new things...

So I'm driving home from Austin last night, and I PASSED THE TRADING SPACES TRAILER.

I freaking LOVE Trading Spaces, so I did what any mature person would do: I slowed down, let them pass me again, and honked like mad and waved.

A bemused man who looked like Ty Pennington waved back.  I'm not sure if it WAS Ty, but I hope so.

That's all for this week.  See everyone Monday (and perhaps on Sunday if I feel like it!)

NO WAY!!

I am SO jealous. Trading Spaces is the crack to my whore, and if it was Ty, I will flip. Turns out me and like 6 housewives in Nebraska still think he's a sexy piece of man meat, but whatever.

Oh jealousy.

Do you read the TS recaps at TWoP?

Hi-larious! The TS comment. I can just see you in your Volvo honking to get Ty's attention. What a nut!!!! Can't wait to see you next week.- Love, TC

Shh, don't tell anyone. Ty is my secret boyfriend. It's such a secret even Ty doesn't know it.

PS You were way hot in the bear contest!!
