People's Choice Awards #3



This morning we were off on our annual trip to the People's Choice Awards.  We met at Joy's after dropping the kids off at school and loaded in the minivan (just another sign of our age)!
 We had a nice lunch at Yard House and then made the long walk down to the check in area.  We passed the front of the Nokia theater and the set up for the red carpet along the way.
 Although we are one good-looking group of ladies (wink), we sure felt like the oldies this year.
 Once inside the theater, 5 of us were placed in these seats.  It was the holding area for the seat fillers. A few others (no names mentioned) broke the rules and found their own seats down front.
 Soon enough, Wendy and I moved from this spot to the 4th row!  We were 3 rows behind Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock and 2 rows behind Heidi Klum. Jason Aldean was sitting in the next aisle over which is where we then were moved after a few commercial breaks.  When we turned around Paris Hilton, was sitting right behind us!
I thought we had good seats, but not nearly as good as Jenn, Erika and Chrissie.  They were in the front row for several awards, sitting in between Jennifer Aniston and
Taylor Swift!  They had to move when Sandra Bullock took her seat, but found another front row spot a few sections down and were plastered all over the tv!
 I ended up getting booted back to the holding area for the last 40 minutes of the show, but not before getting up close for Jason Aldean's awesome performance.
 We had a great night and this show never disappoints.  It's kind of fun pretending to be a Hollywood socialite, at least for one night a year!!
