OH The Things You Will Experience: Throwin' Myself for a Loop..

When I decided to spend the summer in NYC I cannot exactly put into words what I was expecting. I knew it would be an exciting experience I would never forget. But mostly I knew it would be the perfect way to decide if [in the future] I could see myself living in this crazy city. This I am still deciding with a frame of mind that changes as much as Georgia's weather, naturally.

As much as I thought of what I expected; and came up with nothing, I also took a moment to think of what I did not expect..and yet again came up with nothing. But one thing is for sure this past week was the most exciting, exhilarating, and entertaining week I have had since arriving three weeks ago!

So what happened this week that I now know I did  not expect??  


One might say that I was well sort of an interesting child. Spacey, all over the place, unorganized, unaware, unconcerned..just pick one or all of the above and you get a perfect description of my childhood self. I can further this image for you by informing you of the summer my mom was so proud of me that I did not loose anything at the pool for the WHOLE SUMMER that I was presented with the fabulous gift of Briteny Spears "Baby One More Time" CD. An enourmous grand total value of  $9.99 + tax..high rolling.

 [Hopefully point across] I was aware, and really liked the late 90's pop music scene. Obviously Briteny Spears was among my favorites, but she was not alone. Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, The Hanson's, Nsync, 98 degrese, and Backstreet Boys joined Briteny Spears in the category of my music likes.

As for television shows..well my parents refused to allow me to have cable until I was a SENIOR in high school, so obviously I did not watch many TV shows unless they were on FOX, ABC, CBS and one or two other channels we might be able to pick up, if we turned the rabbit ears the correct way and the wind caught the branches of the trees at just the right angle. EVEN then due to a horrendous accident that our remote was involved in..we were VERY lucky if all of those channels had color and were in english. I'm pretty sure that left us with between -3 and 1 channel(s). This usually resulted in my dad watching the Braves game in black and white on the TV, and listening to the announcers on the radio. All of the abouve is a TRUE STORY.  [And you wonder why I think I would have a successful reality show..]


Now, back to this week: As part of my internship, I was asked to help out with an event. A Pamper's event. I was so excited, for I love events of any kind- they fascinate me. The event was the celebration of Pamper's 50th birthday. The company I am interning for did not plan the event (Pampers has its own in-house PR team). They did however, hire the company I work for to organize for celeberities to attend. say what? 

Because this was a Pamper's event there were certain requirements for the celeberities we would choose.
They had to either have a child under 3 OR be pregnant. 

humm..the results??


Yes that would be Drew Lachey, my elementary school dreams coming true
At one point I was asked to keep the Lachey's entertained and comfortable!! 
and Shawn Green football obsession comes true (insert laughter here).. 

but wait, thats not all!


and this would be James Van Der Beek "Dawson" from Dawson's Creek 
( I had to sneak off and pretend I was friends with the people in the neighborhood who had cable to watch..)
and celebrity blogger: Micah Jesse (such a character) 

Ali Landry (Former Miss USA, model & actress and so sweet!) 
This is everyone (Minus James) with some Pampers executives! 

And the coolest part??


My friend Meera, sent me this interview she found on her E Iphone app. This was an interview with Drew Lachey done by E!  at the Pamper's event! It is so exciting to read that and know that was pulled from an event that I was part of! 


I just had such a good week! I hope everyone else out there did too, and remember:

The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams, is you.  "

Until Next time..
