Well, while most of you are all having fun together already in Vancouver I am peacefully sitting at my desk enjoying some DELICIOUS Belgian chocolate. My boss, Michelle, just returned from a 40th birthday trip to Belgium, the Netherlands (where her boyfriend is from) and Ireland. She brought back tons of Belgian chocolate and I would have to say it is probably the best I have ever had. Called "Galler".

Work is good but slow. Slow actually isn't too cumbersome because I can study for the pop culture quiz. Matthew, Michelle, and I have our audition in Beverly Hills on Friday January 26th. We are studying away with pop culture quiz books and trivial pursuit cards. I have learned a lot already but we all have a long way to go before I feel really confident about our chances. We have to all pass a pretty difficult pop culture quiz to move any further in the audition process. If we all pass then we have an interview and then it is up to the casting directors to pick who can compete in a regional game to see who will be on the show. Pretty involved. If you saw last year's show at all you know that on the actual show the questions are not very hard but, from what we have heard, the screening test is hard. So I will probably have some cards in my hands at most times while I am up in WA. :)

I work through Thursday when we are having our office luncheon which I am looking forward to. We are going to a really nice restaurant in Del Mar that I really like. Then I am rushing to the airport to make it up to WA that night. I can't wait to see you all! It will be a fun-filled week but hopefully somewhat relaxing too!

Oh yeah - and Mom, I found the oreos! :)
