VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

17 June 2010

Ok, so the reason I’ve been MIA the last week or so is because Jake and I have been working our butts off trying to get a video audition done for the contest Oprah is having that will give the winner their very OWN show on her network!  I’m going to need you guys to help me out!  PLEASE forward this link to everyone you know.  VOTE, then VOTE again, and then vote 1,000 more times!  There’s no limit to your votes, so let’s get me to the semi-finals so that I can inspire the rest of the world!!!

Copy and Paste the following into an email and send it to as many people as you can!!!!

Exhaustion

14 June 2010

I’m completely and utterly exhausted.  I’m running on an average of 4 hours of sleep a night – and none of those have been all in a row.  My life here at DPF has obviously not slowed down, and now we’ve added trying to film this audition to the whole thing.  Three nights of working until 4 am, and then EG getting up at 7 has just killed me….BUT I believe in what I’m doing; I’m passionate about what I’m doing; and I know it’s going to lead to something bigger.  And so, I keep on keeping on!  We’re in the process of editing everything tonight, and will probably have to re-shoot a couple of segments, but things are coming together.  I’m going to need all of you to help me out when it comes time to vote…

I needed to loosen up a bit while I was brainstorming!

Ellie Graye helps with the editing!

My camera has, sadly enough, had the last couple days off other than the Murphy’s baby celebration.  I usually take 150 – 200 photos every day, and today I only took FIVE!  Oh my god! It’s the end of the world!  I was able to capture Jeffrey taking a dive off of the diving board on our first warm day of summer…he’s a brave soul – the water was only 65 degrees!!! He’s CRAZY!!!  Ellie got the biggest kick out of watching the whole spectacle!

With Ellie, the chores around the farm, making sure we’re all fed, and trying to make it onto Oprah’s Network, I haven’t had much time for anything else!!!!  Ellie continues to be her cute self, and created her first original dish: Corn and Peanut Butter Sandwich. Yum.

I wonder if I should post this recipe 🙂
