There really is an Oprah

It's a pretty rare thing that I get to watch Oprah these days but today was one of those luck days. The show was actually a review show but as usual, I did find myself tearing up here and there...all happy stuff, but great stuff nonetheless. My favorite was a little guy name Holden finding out that 'there really is an Oprah'. Too cute. Another great thing, all the proceeds from the Oprah Boutique benefit her Angel Network.

I also received a personal phone call from WA Senator Patti Murray this afternoon. Well, to be honest she was calling the couple who owns the house where I'm housesitting...but it was still cool to take the call. She and target=newwindow>Congressman Jim McDermott are two of my favorite politicians these days.

Finally...OK, how much to I love Fox's The Simple Life? Being a Nebraska farm boy at heart I have to say that I really do love the show. Yeah, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie can be obnoxious at times, but most of the time it really is entertaining. I actually ran into Nicole briefly at the LOHAS 8 conference in May. She's actually a really great person and totally gets the sustainable style thing.
