Oh My! I met a few of the Young and the Restless Stars!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Ok, so anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE the Young and the Restless soap! I've been watching for years, ever since my grandma got me involved in it when I'd go home from school sick, as young as 10 years old, maybe younger! Anyway, when I was in high school, I had already started taping it and watching it when I got home, or on the weekends to catch up! I'd always call grandma to talk about it! Yes, I'm a dork! Then, when Paul and I had to move in with my mom when I was pregnant with little Paul (his work transferred him out there for awhile), I got my sister and my mom into it! We all used to watch it together at the end of the day! So, when we found out that three of the actors, along with a few other actors from other soaps, were going to be in Baton Rouge Sunday, the 19th, for a meet and greet, Amy and I jumped all over it and brought mom for her birthday! How exciting! We did ask grandma to go, but she was worried she wouldn't have a place to sit...I wish she had went! We got the three actors to say something to grandma on video for her....it was so sweet and they all did it! Wow...we met them in person! We got their autographs and got to chat with them one-on-one! It was great!

They had a section where a few "lucky" people got to act out scenes with an actor of their choice. All of our names were put in a hat and that's how the "lucky" people were chosen. I was sitting there praying to be picked! I looked at Amy and said, "I want to do that so bad!" She goes, "I don't!" She thought she'd be too nervous in front of everyone, but I knew deep down she'd want to do it! I, who is usually nervous in front of people, did not care about that though, Iwanted to do a scene with Christian LeBlanc (Michael Baldwin on the Young and the Restless). Anyway, not 3 minutes later, Amy was chosen! Not fair, but I was happy for her! She goes "Do you want to do it?" I was like, "Yeah, but no you do it, you were picked." Lucky for me, she picked Christian LeBlanc and then they said everyone who was chosen got to pick a friend to do it too! Before Amy could even talk, I was up there!!! (Sorry Mom, but I was going!) Oh my gosh! Amy and I got to act out a scene with Christian LeBlanc! Wow! We had to rehearse first and Christian (yes, we're on a first name basis now) was like "You have to be kind of...like a tramp!" Ohhhh, I can do that! Me, act out a scene with him being like a tramp all over him? Yep, I can do that! LOL....Paul, you know I love you! The scene went great and we had a great time!
