Putnam

I was giving a tour of Putnam to kids in my class. The gym had been turned into the library and they were tearing down the wing that came out of the old library. The walls had been torn down and there were lumber and tools and concrete all over the place. I was trying to get them to envision the hallway and the classrooms.

Seal in the Shower

I was in our house in Ft. Collins and about to take a shower. I was letting the water run to get hot before I got in. I pulled back the shower curtain and saw a giant frog sitting in the tub. Then it morphed into a cute seal with whiskers. It freaked me out and I called for dad. He came into the bathroom with a blanket to wrap around the seal and get it out of the tub. As I was standing in the hall waiting, I kept thinking, 'How the hell did that seal get in the tub? Through the drain?"

Skating with the Stars

I was one of the "stars" on the TV show "Skating with the Stars" (which is weird since I've never seen the show). Christina Aguilera was my biggest competition and we didn't like each other. I don't know who my partner was, but I remember thinking that he had to be a pretty big guy in order to lift me up the way the tiny girls were being lifted. I was very confident in my ability to win the competition and I remember turning to Christina as we were sitting in the audience and saying, "I haven't even watched my tape back yet, but I'm sure I did better than you did."
