Today With Patty – Sept. 20, 2006

by Patty

It’s been one of those days again. I’m running around like a nut. I’ve been reasonably “carb free” today. Wait, scratch that. Today is Allison’s birthday, and I just had a piece of her white chocolate cake. It was good, and sooooo full of carbs! Dang.

This morning I was at Wake Technical Community College teaching spokesperson training to the deans at college and the high-up muckety-mucks. I think there was still some old school spirit in me. I kept saying, “Class, class, pay attention to me!” Then there was one person who came in late, and that allowed me to ask, “Excuse me, do you have a hall pass?” And two ladies were talking during my presentation, so I said, “Do you have something you’d like to share with the rest of the class?” I had a fine, fine time. It was an enjoyable experience. I usually don’t find people so educated and so comfortable about speaking in front of people, so the training was easy and fun.

After that, it was off to the Capital City Club for lunch, and then I hurried to Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston for a meeting and a photo shoot with the News & Observer. Don’t you know, David Rani is doing an article on fast-growing PR firms, and they are profiling MMI. I’m majorly excited about it. However, not too excited, since they may bump me (just kidding, but see the last paragraph).

Tonight is “Wine Welcome and Wellness” at the 8020 Creedmoor Road location of Iatria Day Spa, which should be a major event. Of course, anything involving wine, I’m in. Bonefish Grill is going to cater it. I’m happy to report there will be no chicken. However, there will be white wine (yeah!).

The latest on my appearance on the CBS Early Show: Still no word. Can you believe President George W. Bush bumped me today? I’ll let you know once I know what’s happening.
