Greetings all,
Just like that, the ticket window to register for tickets to Oprah has closed. I was so excited at 10a.m. on Friday morning, desperate to get my name down to tickets for her 14th December Show at the Sydney Opera House, i jammed the laptop & my husband sent me to another room & had to do it for me!! Then i got the magic words "you have successfully registered for tickets". Into the lottery i go, i have everything crossed!!
So did you register for tickets?? Are you beside yourself waiting for an email in the next 24 hours to say you've got tickets?? Who did you put down as your guest??
For me the answers are a 'yes', a nail biting 'yes' & 'my gal pal Abi'!!
I have many 'best friends' which doesn't make sense & when i had to think about a bridesmaid, i gulped & felt it was like Sophie's Choice, who to choose (not including sister or sisters-in-law). I have Melinda from PreSchool; Marianne from Primary School; Vanessa from High School; Imelda, Abigail, Tamzin from a part time jobs at Uni; Melissa my favourite Army wife in Canberra & Kelli my favourite Army wife of all time; Corrie from this blogworld (we giggle that we met on line) . . . then there are the gals from Handmade - i mean, i have shared so much with these girls too. Special mention to allof these ladies who i love & adore, especially Melinda who hasn't escaped my friendship for 32 years!! FYI i didn't have any bridesmaids at our wedding, i chose a neice as a flower girl, see, didn't offend anyone.
So why Abi - from all these awesome girls & sisters in my life, from the moment i met in our teens, i just KNEW if i was to EVER go to an Oprah Show, it would be with her. Abi even went so far as to have her first born on Oprah's birthday, just to out do me!! We would fight over who knew more about Oprah, who is more devoted, but Abi would always win as she would remind me she was American/ West Indian!!
We have both put each other's names down as guests & are willing to the Oprah Gods that we are two of the luckiest gals/ mummies, friends in Australia, chosen to lay our eyes on Oprah in the flesh. I have already had dreams I'm there on the Opera House forecourt screaming my lungs out. So holding my breath for the next 24 hours, good luck to you all as well, love Posie
PS that shot of Oprah is just how i imagine she'd look at me saying "gosh Jennie tell me more . . ."

Oh no!...I've been so busy at work, I completely forgot. Although Jennie, I know you are far more deserving than I. Jennie and Abi the ultra Oprah fans!!!! Good luck to both of you...Terese

That's so fabulous! Hope you have a wonderful time. Let us know when your show is screening, yes? Kx
Gosh, I didn't even realise she was coming over. I'm so out of the loop! I hope you guys get tickets!!! Good luck.
I'm waiting too :) with my sister! Kate
Good luck Posie! How much fun would it be? I am not standing in your way having completely forgotten to get in the line. Crushed :( I really hope you are successful x
I've got my fingers crossed for you Jennie! I didn't know there was a ticket lottery or I would have entered too. How cool would it be to sit down and chat to Oprah. Keep us posted :)
Jxx
Good luck with the ticket lottery Jennie, I'm sure there will be some AMAZING stories from those lucky to attend.
Good luck! I must live under a rock, didn't know she was coming.
I didn't know who to put down and so I knew you were busting to go I thought about putting you but then I thought if I did that we'd both get chosen and ... lol
Good luck in winning those tickets, Jennie! I can see that you would be the loudest of them all cheering Oprah as she walks out onstage =-)
and maybe you'll come home with some awesome goodies!!
Good luck, wouldn't that be thrilling!
Hi Jennie,
I would have taken my friend Eva but just found out that i didn't get any tickets :(
Fingers x that you have more luck!
Love Jen
I totally forgot to register for tickets but look forward to finding out who gets to go! good luck :)
Ha ha, NO, resounding "no did not register".
Does this mean we can't be friends? *smiles endearingly, bats eyelashes*
If you DO go I hope she gives you a nice present for your efforts. And not a hat with corks on it.
Your so funny, lucky girl!!!! when will you know? and more important what will you wear?
booo no tickets for us :-(
I would take my friend Jenn - but she's in Bangkok right now, so would have to teletransport her.
