Before the Challenge for Episode 7 of Survivor South Pacific.




I think I mentioned this last week, but I am so excited to watch this week's episode of Survivor South Pacific--because I didn't get to watch the challenge when it happened real-time.

Why? Was I sitting out?

Heck no!

I was blindfolded.

And tethered to Keith (Eeek!).


Flexible Keith and Me.

It's really an incredible challenge. It involves blindfolds and water and sand . . . and if you're a long-time Survivor fan like me, that's YOUR kind of challenge.

And if you are the kinda person who loves "all-things Survivor," then here's this week's Challenge Preview from Jeff Probst himself.

SPOILER ALERT--If you don't want to know anything about the challenge before it airs, maybe skip this clip.

PS:

Tomorrow I'll be answering some of the questions I've received from Survivor fans this past week.

Oh, and guess what else?

I received a letter with a request for my autograph yesterday. 

Hold the press! Can you believe that? My autograph. Mine.

Is that just so so . . . nice. Someone likes me enough on Survivor to ask for an autograph.

I love it. And I'm humbled by it--so thank you Survivor fan.

(PPS: Yes, there's a possibility this is my mom's doing, but she's not in IL and she wouldn't want me to sign her photos: Hello Neal! So I think it's the real deal, ha!)

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
