Woo Willow and Shannon! Very cool, best of luck!

Just heard this one today:
A skeleton walks into a bar and says, "I'd like a drink and a mop."

Guess he's the type of guy who can't hold his liquor.

It was amazing! They were all extremely nice. They gave her her own dressing room, a huge buffet of food, tons of Ellen gear, the dryer and 10k. It was neat seeing the inner workings of the show.

I know willow was extremely nervous. Right before we went on I could see her sitting in her chair shaking. I'll have to say she did well but I think some of her other interviews went better. It's just that she wasn't as talkative as she normally is. She gave an interview this morning on the canadian broadcast channel (cbc) and knocked it out of the park. I heard that she was on the abc nightly news this evening with an interview we taped last week.

Fantastic!

We both discussed this issue about how good parenting teaches things like this from the get go.

This is not natural for any kid. It has to be taught or learned and that comes from great parenting.

Successful involved parents breed successful good kids.

Congrats....

The marketing and skills she has to buy and sell these types of items on craigslist also amazed me.

Since moving to Florida I have more access to items like she described then before and if this smart 14 year old can do this then anyone who needs extra money can as well. Florida is loaded will items to buy and re sell and this girl is proof that if you have the will, knowledge and be able to succeed like she has it can be done.

I am totally impressed.

My 13 year old comes with me to yard sales, flea markets etc and like Willow always sees profit in items. Teaching them to work and think is a good thing.

She has a very bright future ahead of her.
