My Television Debut

So Lula found Swirl Girl in a John Crier movie video.  This got me thinking that the one time I was on "Growing Pains" is out there.

Yep, I found it.  I can't believe that I am showing you this, as I was as awkward as 14 can be... but watch the first 2 minutes.  I am the girl with the pink jacket and gray jacket and the plaid gray and white scarf.

I will disappear for a minute when Kirk Cameron starts talking to the girl, but I come back.. an there is some dancing, so watch.  Then, I am clearly upset and news that the concert is sold out. And then die laughing.  When the "as long as we got each other" song starts my fame is done.

Oh, and guess who else was in this episode?  Yep, Brad Pitt.  I always knew our paths had crossed..see, six degrees of separation, now you "know" Brad Pitt.

Totally Awesome! Gotta love that 80s style. So, with six degrees of separation I'm one step closer to having met Brad, right? Let's do six degrees from Kevin Bacon. I'm sure he fits in with this episode somehow...

That was so much fun I LOVE the 80's (of course I was an 80's child) I have pretty much all of the 80's on my ipod & believe it or not my 16 year old actually likes most of it. Go Figure. Thanks for sharing your 15 mins of fame.

WOW! Shall we sell our autographs on Ebay?? Totally cool that you are on camera for more than .01 nanoseconds.

And, even Brad Pitt on a tv screen through a glass window trumps a Duckie. You win!

Love the dancing to no music. I spent many nights in nightclubs doing just that....

Swirl Girl Hearts Mrs. R!
We soooo need to meet!

I was so in love with Kirk Cameron at that age I doubt I could have handled being that close to him. Forget Brad...

How funny is that? That's really cool that you were on a TV show. Did you want to be an actress back in the day?

OH MY STAAAAAARS!!! Girl, I fell out of my chair clutching my sides... No, I'm not laughing AT you.

Okay, let me catch my breath.

First and foremost...if you could all see Mrs. R dance now, you would forgive her for the 80's head wiggle she had going on. The girl can DANCE. Her ringtone on my phone is "Sexyback". Seriously.

And I swear at one point Kirk actually LOOKED right at you. He secretly wanted you. We all know that now. I could feel the chemistry jumping off the screen.

You had quite a bit of face time on that episode and you were so close to him!! You'd told me about this before, but you never had accompanying video.

Just wait until Sabre sees this...She's gonna DIE!!!

I'm completely speechless and for me, that' a rarity. All of the witty things I could come up with falls flat compared with "Oh yeah, well I sort of almost met Brad Pitt."

I bow down to you.

Please, please, please tell me you got some sugar from Kirk. I mean...pink and grey? Come ON, those were some serious colors back then.

And we are so going dancing in December. For sure.

You were totally awesome (and good for a laugh--lovingly on my part of course)! I never would have been that cool--although I did have clothing in pink and gray (not sure about a jacket, but I remember a Guess? sweatshirt) and I wore my hair in a French braid quite often too.

SCREEEEEEEEEAM!!!!!! Shut the front door! I can't believe you found it!

And like you needed another name to add to your list of celebrities you know..... :)

Woo! That was awesome! It made me all nostalgic (another child o' the 80s here) for the big hair, the bad dance moves and of course the fantabulous fashions!!!

@ Commenter about iPods upthread there: My iPod has a lot of 80s music on it, too, but as of yet the only song out of my 80s playlist that my kiddo really likes is Love Shack. I've got to get her into Duran Duran at LEAST!!! :D

Cheers!

Oh my GOSH! I LOVE the head shake. You've got moves, girl, you've got moves! And I *did* notice you were VERY close to Kirk.

Now I totally have to Netflix the whole thing. It'll be my new obsession.

You. Are. So. Cool.

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin
