CNN ROCKS!!

I know this has got to be ILLEGAL, but I am typing in this entry form the weather desk at CNN headquarters in Atlanta. OMG!! This place is absolutely overwhelming and I am so having an out of body experience. A dream 20 years in the making just to see where all the magic happens and it is unbelievably amazing. I actually walked on the same grounds and through the same doors as Christiane Amanpour did/does. Wow!!! Unfortunately she is over in London, which I think for now is a good thing because I am sure if I see her I would just be too razz and unable to contain my excitement that I would have to just faint like right away. Met some extremely nice personalities and they are so approachable too. But man did I wear the wrong shoes, trying to look cute. Touring the building and meeting people and climbing stairs in a pair of stilettos that are 4 inches high aint a joke. But as they say in the industry you have to get your foot through the door, and then there's the 'put your best foot forward' saying, so what better way to do all that than in a some spiky and sexy kiss me shoes. Yeah yeah...It aint no manolo, Prada or Gucci, but bcbg is manageable for now.

Don't wanna rain on your parade - but employers are now firing their employees for mentioning the company they work for in their bolgs and/or blogging on company time. Save the blogging for when you get home, and skip the mentions of the company. FYI!

ok killjoy...no just kidding... appreciate the concern but there's no place on this blog that i mention my employer.(i know i can be clueless sometimes but give me some credit please), i was visiting CNN for the day and just had to tkea minute to express my uncontainable excitement, before going crazy and doing the jig in the middle of 'Live From" and then being banned from the premises or even city limits. Read the post and my profile again 'carefully'.

not a problem - just thought you should know. A couple of people just got fired from my company a few weeks ago for blogging on company time AND mentioning the company's names in their blogs.

Seems like you're having an awesome time though - have fun, and good luck with realising your dreams...!

Ignore my comment, I was reading the blog in chronological order, so hadn't got to the pictures.
