My Day w/ Oprah

It was something that most folks could only dream about. I actually got to spend a day w/ Oprah. Oprah is a media mogul. I mean how in the world did "I" get this lucky. I had the opportunity to go to her home(which is amazing btw) and spend the entire day w/ her.

We started off w/ her giving me a grand tour. I thought it was cool she took the time to do it herself, instead of having a member of her waitstaff do it. She's extremely personable and I felt more like I was visiting an Aunt than OPRAH! She has two dogs. One is a huge Labrador and the other a Pomeranian. I absolutely adored the Pomeranian but couldn't stand the lab. Dammit, if the lab didn't leave me alone the whole time!!

We ate lunch on her deck which was more like a resort than a deck. We had a mixed green salad w/ vinaigrette dressing and lobster tail that was freshly imported from Maine. We had sorbet for our dessert. The food was decadent.

After lunch, we just sat and talked. She asked me about my goals. I told her how important this non-profit was to me. I explained that by the age of 32(5 short years from now) my non-profit would be up and running. I explained that I had recently decided to go to law school so that I wouldn't need to hire a staff lawyer(unless Ieisha comes and works w/ me! LOL) She told me that she had the up most faith in me. I asked her would she be willing to serve on my Executive board and she said she would be honored. I could have cried right then, I mean my goodness, if I have Oprah on my team--I'm something like unstoppable!

We then talked about my love life or lack thereof. Oprah asked if I could have anything, anything at all at my wedding what would it be? I told her I would have LOVED for Luther to be able to sing at my wedding. We both expressed our sorrow at him being gone. I told her that her home was beautiful and asked if anyone had ever hosted a wedding there before. She told me that they had. She said she wanted to give me a gift. I politely declined, I mean just being in her presence for a whole day and her accepting a spot on my Executive board was more than enough. She told me that when that special guy found me, that she'd like me to have my wedding at her home. I couldn't believe it. I almost fell out of my chair.

I thanked Oprah again and again. I was blessed to have met her and been able to personally spend a day w/ her. The advice and wisdom she gave is something I won't ever forget.

My cell phone rang and I excused myself. Then I woke up. DAMMIT if it wasn't a dream! No more taco salad for me before bed. SIGH! LMAO
