Lights, Camera, Action!!

Today I started out terrified for my upcoming live TV debut.  I was set to be down at the studio to talk about how things have been going.  Well, I got on the scale this morning to a very wonderful surprise.  Down just over 5 lbs.!!  When we got into the green room, I was shocked to find out that I was about to get my measurements done again.  Yikes!!  To my shock and awe, I was down several inches all over! Two in the waste, one in each leg and the list goes on!!
As I sat with my stomach in knots, I watched the bright lights on the studio come alive.  The camera start to whirl around the room on their own, zooming in and out on the shot.  One camera moves in, while another moves out.  Like some crazy robot dance I can't take my eyes off of.  Segment one, done.  Segment two, done.  OMG, I'm up next and I have no idea what they are going to ask.  Where do I look, what do I say, what if they ask really tough or personal questions.  What if I stumble over my words.  What if I have something in my teeth, or nose, Ahh, I can't do this.  Where is the exit.  Will anyone notice if I just sneak out.....
I stand up, get my mic put on and seconds later, I'm on the set.  I get a 10 second update on what were are going to talk about.  My mind goes blank, the room starts to get fuzzy and I can hear myself breathing and that is about all.  Cue the intro music and here we go.................................................
Over, its over?  That was it.  I'm done.  That was so fast.  What just happened.  Okay, that wasn't bad.  That was good.  I can do this again.
Wait, I think I really liked that.  Wonder when we get to do that again.  Hey, I really liked that.  Oh, I can't wait to see what I looked like.... Alright, not bad.  I think it came out great.  I think I can do this.
Hey, watch out TV, I think I like you and I think I want to be in the spotlight again.... Yikes, never thought this was part of the makeover!
