Redemption Island Dual TONIGHT!

Ozzy Lusth, Dawn Meehan--ME!, and Whitney Duncan.

Last night I had a dream I was on Survivor South Pacific competing in a challenge against Ozzy from Micronesia AND a country singer named Whitney Duncan.


Wait a minute.


That wasn't a dream!


Holy moly. Can you believe this--I'm on Survivor South Pacific. 


Quick, someone get a camera. I'm going to need a picture to prove this all really happened.


I mean, really--what in the honk? 


How did this happen? 


How did I go from dreaming about this game to actually PLAYING it?


Ahhh ... best feeling ever. Episode 4: Shoulder the Load Challenge.

(PS: In case you didn't know, Monty--the photographer--is actually a native Utahn. Woop woop!)


It's nothing short of incredible, I tell ya. And I mean that wholeheartedly: INCREDIBLE.


And one day, I'm going to share more with you about that--about how this big dream of mine became a reality.


But, right now I've got a dual to prepare for.


So in the meantime, let me share some pictures with you from tonight's episode (Episode 12. Entitled "Cult-Like." Eeek!)


Don't forget to watch tonight. (CBS. 8pm ET/7pm CT.) 


Psst: I'll be the one in the stripey socks.

That's Whitney's stack o' plates, I believe.

While we're at Redemption Island, the fun continues back at camp. Isn't Samoa beautiful?
Ocean as far as you can see.

I'd like to caption this photo:

"Why did we send Dawn to Redemption Island? We're so sad now."

My captions for this photo (*wink wink*) =

Sophie: "Where is Dawn you guys?"
Edna: "I was tiny when I started the game, now I'm itty-bitty."
"Coach: "I'm Zeus."
Albert: "I knew I should have knocked Zeus out during that last vote."
Rick: "No comment."
Brandon: "I kinda like this sweater-vest. I may never give it back to Cochran."
Cochran: "I'm Hercules."

Here's a link to the preview for tonight's immunity challenge, posted on CBS.com:

I have to share this, because it's so funny--and because it gives you a little bit of insight into what it's like to be on Survivor (while it's airing).

Last night we took one of our daughters to gymnastics and stayed to watch the class.


While watching, a few people asked if I was "Dawn from Survivor?"


To which I answered,"Yes, that's me. It's kinda funny, huh?"

To which one woman responded, "Oh, well, you've made a lot of mistakes on there."


Chirp. Chirp.


Tap. Tap. Tap.


Is this thing on?

Is that a riot or what?

How do you follow up after a comment like that?

"Uh, I know you are, but what am I?"

That's what I was thinking.

What did I really say?

"Well, thanks for watching the show." 

See, isn't this fun?

Actually, it is. B)


I've learned so much as the show has aired. (And I promise to share more on this in another post.)

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 ...
