KBTV::Shooting, Shouting and Sleeping

There I stood – teetering on a wrought-iron chair in my Ugg clogs, desperately attempting to secure my bubblegum-pink dress in place and shouting over the wind. I took a deep breath…and exhaled. Okay, Kate, here goes. I looked straight into the camera and began to bellow:

“CLICK AROUND THE KBTVONLINE SITE AND MEET THE KBTV TEAM…READ BIOS AND SEE PHOTOS OF OUR SEGMENTS PRODUCERS, VIDEOGRAPHER, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR…YOU CAN ALSO VIEW SEVERAL OF THE SERIES WE’VE AIRED…ON SAY THE U.S. COAST GUARD AND, OF COURSE, THE PANDA PORN SAGA.”

Tying my hair back in the pony tail turned out to be a clever move. It felt like I was in the middle of a tornado, and apparently it looked like it, too. When Barry and I came downstairs to the office to look at the tape, let’s just say the outtakes are so unbelievably hysterical that we saved them on a DVD and hid them for another time.

I sank down in the squishy taupe linen chair in front of my 24-inch brand new Dell flat screen. I began to feel all that nervous (moving!) energy seep out of my pores and to contemplate the overwhelming sleep deprivation I had endured throughout the past week.

I shut my eyes and I simply…prayed. Not a typical fox-hole-type prayer when you’re telling God that you’ll never go 80 mph in a school zone again: “God, please coax the mean police officer into giving me a warning. Please?” It wasn’t that type, but the other kind, the simple sort – a prayer of just plain old gratitude. Thank you God for getting me through it all in one piece.

It’s Sunday today, and I’ve finally finished unpacking the last box. I think it’s time for me to rest.
