25 years...gone like that!! What am I going to do when 4:00 comes around? Chores? That's gross!!! Oh Oprah...why are you doing this to me?? To close a chapter in your life? To move onto bigger and better things?? Whatever!!! I want more makeovers...studio audience giveaways...and your BOOK CLUB!! What the heck?! Actually, I have to tell you that I've only grown to love Oprah the last year or two. I've watched her since I was...9, I guess. So, yeah, she's been around most of my life, but I never watched religiously until a few years ago. Especially now with her Behind The Scenes show on OWN, you really get to catch a side of her that perhaps we didn't know existed. To me, she became much more real then the bazillionaire with the daytime talk show who could buy any of us!! (Click The "Oprah's Book Club" picture to take you to the full list of books she had on her show!!)
I think it was her Favorite Things episode a few years back that got me hooked. How do those audiences get so lucky?! Or the show where she gave everyone in the audience a new car!!! I would NEVER have that kind of luck!!! Or perhaps it was when my girl, Celine Dion, became a regular guest on her show. Oh...or when Luke & Laura from General Hospital were on there...I don't know...but it's all been up my alley!!!Watching her show today (a 2 part tribute to her) really opened my eyes to all the things that she has done around the world. The impressions that she has left and the lives she changed. It was truly touching. People can get political about her, but at the end of the day...she's entertained the heck out of me, enlightened many people and done a whole lot of good.
Good luck Oprah! I'll be watching OWN...please save the soaps! Thanks! :)
