My Roomie Wins Prelim!!!

Oh Hello!!!

Goodness has a ton happened since I last blogged!! Tonight was absolutely FABULOUS to say the least. As usual tonight, I was deathly afraid of on stage question, but I could not be more happier with how it went.

Rewind to last night's prelim--talent night for me. I need to elaborate on my fall. It was at the very end of my dance; I was so incredibly excited that it was almost over. I was so pleased, until I ended up on the floor with only 3 seconds left in the music. I just wiped out. I have no idea why or how, but I hit a hard reality--the floor. I guess I recovered well--or that's what people said to make me feel better! :) I walked off stage, and I really figured I would burst out in tears, but surprisingly, I was incredibly calm and collected. Just a small bruise where I landed.

Ok, fast forward to tonight. So I'm dressed in my interview outfit, and I'm about to go on stage when the girl a few numbers in front of me sneezes like Donald Duck for her on stage question--HILARIOUS to say the least. She definitely gave me a good laugh before going on.

So I walked up to the platform, dreaded sticking my hand into the bowl to pull out a question. That was like sticking your hand into a tank of flesh eating fish or something. Piranhas?

This is similar to the question I got, but it was worded differently. "If you could promote one item, what would that item be?" It was a lot longer actually, but I'm not sure exactly what all it said. As the emcee is reading the question, things like Victoria's Secret and Firm Grip are going through my head, and I'm about to panic. I know those are inappropriate to say on stage. I open my mouth and this comes out:

If I could be a spokesperson for an item, it would definitely have to be for rubber grips that you put on the bottom of your shoes. You all saw me hit the floor last night, I could definitely use some!

WHAT?! I was soooo happy when I walked off stage; that question could not have been better for me. :)

Evening gown went wonderful too. My roomie, MISS UGA, Briana won the evening gown prelim in her mermaid dress--she was BEAUTIFUL!


Anywho, before prelims, we had rehearsal at the crack of dawn and then went to the golf tournament that benefits the Miss Georgia scholarship fund. Here, we met the president of the Miss America Organization. He was in town on a book tour and attended the prelim tonight.

The golf tournament was hot and rainy, but we had a good time.

I still have some funny stories from the other day, but it's bed time for me. We actually get to sleep in the morning--WOW!!!

Can't wait to be back in Albany soon!!!
