New TV week is better than friends

It's days like today when I get off work at 9:30 a.m. when I feel like I should be nicer to my job. Not to mention the fact that I was speaking in such a small town today that I'm pretty sure they all thought I came straight from the Food Network. I wasn't greeted by the usual bulldog of an office lady today telling me to put on a visitors badge or get the hell out. Nope today it was a sweet little old Betty White look alike who rushed to open the door for me and said,

"Oooh my, you must be the chef we're expecting."

"I sure am. Did my cooler give me away?"

"Oooh no, we all knew you were coming. Ms. Beasley told everyone."

"As in Pam?"

"Who?"

"Oh nothing, where can I find the culinary room?"

And then Betty hurried to find a student to carry all of my stuff for me and escort me down to the room. The students were dressed in various types of cowboy boots and Wrangler jeans. And for a town less than 30 minutes from Peker everyone seemed to have a thick Southern accent. It was pretty interesting. The students laughed at my jokes and praised my cooking skills, by the end of the hour I was flipping shrimp into their mouths and making fire rings out of onion towers- ya, you could say I might have been showing off a bit. And through out the entire thing the teacher was video taping me while having her student aid take pictures. Wonder what she'll do with that? That was a bit creepy, but whatever, a public tape has never done a celeb wrong so I figure it can't hurt me too bad.

But right now I am just gitty with excitement about the new Modern Family on tonight. I thought it would be fun to have a Modern Family party and make snacks and fun drinks to watch the show and invite, um... invite Chris to come home early to watch it me. But he said that probably won't work because he has a lot of appointments today, so I guess I won't have my party. But that's okay, spending just 30 minutes with Manny and Cam and Mitchell will make up for any Peker friends I have not met yet. And then tomorrow my night is already planned because I will be spending it with the cast of the Office! This is just going to be one of the best TV weeks I've had in a while.
