Good Morning America Here I Come!!

Dear Jean,

What the heck?

I ask a SIMPLE question.

Your girl Sarah emails back, "great question, make a video and we will put it on the Today Show."

I make the video and ask when it will be used.

Sarah emails back, Tuesday.

WE ALL WATCH. NO LAURA.

THEN, Sarah emails again yesterday, "Where are you from? We are going to use the video Thursday (Today)."

I email back, Pueblo...just kidding.

WE ALL WATCH. NO LAURA.

I email Sarah. She said, I thought they used it.

Ummm, HELLO Sarah, watch the show sometime, Jean Chatzky didn't even show up.

And so I figure you have a week left to air it. I filmed it in front of this .

Now the question is, Do I say don't air it and assume you will. Are you obstinent like Hayden that way? Or do I just set the DVR for every Today Show between now and Christmas?

And, by the way. We already figured out our answer and don't need your advice anyway. I was just hoping that after all the chuckles, this made it on NETWORK TV.

Sincerely,
Laura

p.s. If you are reading this, please ignore everything between Dear Jean and NETWORK TV. Thanks. Hope I make it on the show soon. I LOVE TODAY!

Today Tomorrow?

Remember this?

Rumor has it the segment will be used on the Today Show tomorrow morning.

Ever hear of the little boy who cried wolf? I hope I am not him.

Watch for Jean Chatzky's Money 911 segment and we'll see if I make it on this time.

Suze Orman, where are you?

What is your deal Jean?

Fine.

What is your deal Ms. Chatzky?

Didn't your girl ask for the video?

I spent hours getting ready and perfecting the question to fit in your 20 second timeframe. Making sure the lighting was good. Setting up the tripod when it was clear Carter has a shaking problem.

And then you use some dorky guy's question and not mine??!!

I know it hasn't even been on yet in my time zone. I have my sources. I know you betrayed our friendship. I don't think I can ever forgive you for this deep emotional hurt you have caused.

Does anyone know Suze Orman's email address?

Jean Chatzky is my new best friend

She doesn't know it yet, but we are going to be tight, I can tell.
BFFs 4Ever!

Especially after she answers my question on The Today Show Tuesday morning.

Yes, you read that right.

My financial question will be answered (or is scheduled to be answered) on Tuesday morning's show.

But how can you tell it is my question? Oh that's easy, because there will be a 20 second video of me asking Jean the question.

ON THE TODAY SHOW!

I really thought I would be on The Today Show because Matt Lauer was professing his love for me, maybe he remembered me from 1995?

My cousin Maureen and I with our sign, the night before we went to The Today Show. We made it on t.v. too, I have the video to prove it!


Even though Matt said he would join us, he never did. And it's a good thing too, since I met Ben in Cozumel on that trip! Your loss is his gain MATT!



My second appearance on The Today Show or "Today", as we regulars call it, is happening because I emailed a financial question to the Money 911 segment.

I would like to say they picked me because of my world renowned beauty or because they thought my excellent home decorating would make a fabulous background.

They probably picked me because we are like a lot of people. Our 15 year mortgage is now too big, his sales job is paying less than it did a year ago and things are tight.

My question is "should we refinance to a 30 year mortgage?"

I think I know the answer, but I am excited to have Jean (her good friends call her Jean, not Ms. Chatzky) answer it on Tuesday's Today!

Will you be watching?
