Next Food Network Star

I know I have been a snoozer all summer with this website, but I promise to update it soon. Until then, I need to share a story:

So this morning I got a crazy sign that is inspiring this post...

As we all know by now, Amy won The Next Food Network Star this season. Well during the day I listen to the radio while I work. Yesterday I happened to be listening to Magic 102.7, yes the oldies station, and they said, "be sure to listen to the morning show tomorrow because we will have Amy on the air." I rarely listen to 102.7 morning show because, well, I'm not an oldie. And today of all day's, I didn't listen to any morning show because I was driving my mom's car and listening to XM.

Okay, still following? So I'm driving to work today, listening to XM, and it hits me that I should listen to 102.7 so I could hear Amy's interview. I was like oh no, I probably missed it. Then LITERALLY as I turn the satellite radio off, the FM radio is already programmed on 102.7 and they are saying "We have Amy Finley here from the latest season of the Next Food Network Star..."

I DIDN'T MISS THE INTERVIEW!!! I made it just in time!!

Okay now the best part of it all...

The last part of her interview she mentions to check out the Food Network website for more information about auditioning for next season. Well, I auditioned like two years ago and the due date for the tapes was in October. So I figured I had nothing to worry about, plenty of time to prep a great audition tape (which would definitely have to be better than the last one because that one was terrible). However, until today, it never crossed my mind to double check the date for the tapes.

So when I came home late tonight, I checked the website and the tapes are due July 30th! AS IN THIS MONDAY! So basically if I hadn't thought about listening to Amy's interview, I would have never known about the due date!

I have two days to get a kick ass audition tape ready. Send me your suggestions!! I cannot let another season pass me by. I haven't submitted in the last two years because I was busy with school. But not this time around!! Wish me luck!

Oh yeah, congrats Amy on your win. :)
