I went to sleep right after that. I'm not sure if Amy stayed up much longer either. It had been a long day for both of us. I woke early the next day and showered. I packed my suitcase and put it by the door. I wanted a hot breakfast so I walked across the street to Whole Foods. They had breakfast... Sign in to see full entry.

Burbank part 6
Russell offered us a ride to our airbnb. We asked if he was sure since it was out of his way. Sure he said. I'm a gentleman. Indeed he is! More so than most men I meet. A couple stopped us on the way to his car. Who is playing tonight? Oh it's the World Entertainment Awards. They nodded and went on... Sign in to see full entry.

Burbank Part 5
Amy and Russell both congratulated me. I was dumbstruck. I had hoped to win but wasn't sure that was even possible. It was the poem on here titled A Modern Day Cinderella. If you have kindle plus you can read it free. Amy went upstairs with me while Russell agreed to watch our chairs. They were at a... Sign in to see full entry.

Burbank Part 4
There wasn't much room to stand let alone sit. There were 4 or 5 booths along the back wall and of course all of them had occupants already. We waited by a pole while Russell went to get 3 glasses of water. A guy came up and told Amy we had to stand behind the pole on one side and to the right and... Sign in to see full entry.

Burbank Part 3
Today is the day! We are pumped and ready for fun tonight! My first nomination and Amy's second year of nominations. We eat the remaining pastries. I go to Whole Foods and it is amazing. Lots of choices in the ready to eat line of foods. Hot foods and a nice salad bar - yummy! I love the many... Sign in to see full entry.

Burbank Part 2
I was just a few doors down from her. I arrived and called to her as the doors opened. She picked up her bags and joined me outside the terminal. I asked her if the weirdo was still there. She looked around but didn't see him. I ordered an Uber. It didn't take him long to get there. I don't think he... Sign in to see full entry.

Amy and I talked over the phone as we readied our suitcases and food for the trip. Excitement was everywhere! Who would be there? Did we know any other attendees? Russell contacted Amy. He would also be there. He lives in California. Cool. I hadn't seen him since we went to AOF. My flight left on... Sign in to see full entry.

We have lift off tomorrow! I'm so excited and yet I am freaking out because I am trying to figure out what kind of financial mess I am coming home to. I thought of cancelling my trip but the airline will only give me a credit not a refund. The airbnb is already paid for as well. I'm packing food to... Sign in to see full entry.

My friend was none worse for the wear. Right after I arrived a nurse came in. She was with him about 15 minutes. He was in pain but at least she didn't go out of her way like the other one did. He was moved back to the other side. Hopefully since he is on the other end of the hall he will have... Sign in to see full entry.
