Kristen Savage, COME ON DOWN....

....YOU ARE THE 1ST FOUR CONTESTANTS ON THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!!!!!!! Yes, it's true! She was the last name called to be in contestants row. She ran her cute little butt up there--and had to bid on a 5 piece COACH purse set. Being the true shopper she is, and thanks to my infinite wisdom of all things fashion that I have passed onto her--she bid $1375. The actual retail price was $1378!!! She was only $3.00 away! Can you even stinkin believe that???? So she ran up stage kissed Drew Carey, and they revealed her prize as a 2009 Ford Ranger! My mom and I were going crazy in the audience and I could tell Kristen was really nervous on stage. She was nervous because she, more than anybody, really needed a new car!!! Just a few weeks ago her car broke down and she ended up selling it for $150 to a junkyard and was forced to ride public transportation!!!!

Anyway, she played a game called Switcheroo. Basically, she had 5 number cubes with different numbers on them and 5 prizes with one number missing and she had to fill in the missing numbers in 30 seconds. The timer started and Kristen just stared into the audience not really knowing what to do. Finally, she just started filling in the spots without giving much thought to it. I was dying laughing in the audience because obviously she didn't understand the game quite yet. After the 30 seconds were up Drew asked how many she had right and a big old ZERO flashed on the game and the loser sound rang. Luckily, she got another 30 seconds to get her act together and at the end of the time she had 3 of the 5 right!!!! It was pretty nerve racking wondering whether one of the winning prizes was the car. First, they showed her the Burberry perfume, then the bendable keyboard, and the last thing that lit up was the CAR!!!!!!!!!! She went over on the wheel so no chance at the showcase but she won a CAR!!!!!!!!!!

We are so ecstatic for Kristen!!!! I called dibs on the purses and when she sells her car she's paying for Sky and I to get laser eye surgery and taking me on a shopping spree!!! What a great little sis I have!

Our shirts said, "We support you Drew Carey!!!" It had a picture of a bra on it too. Get it? SUPPORT YOU?! HAHAHA!


Her Ford Ranger is red, but this is the first picture I clicked on....

That is cool. I had to go back and make sure it wasnt' an April Fools joke because I'm a bit behind on blogs. Tell her congratulations. That is way exciting, especially for her (and you with the coach bags).

Hello Kellie, I didn't know how else to reach you, so I'm posting it on here. I hope you don't mind. If you have a minute, please go to my blog or go to funwith31.com. I have a friend that lives in Vegas that is trying to go on 31 dates in the 31 days before her 32nd birthday. She is very fun and has a great outlook on life. Do you know any nice single men that you could recommend to her? With you living in Vegas I thought maybe you'd know of someone there. She doesn't have qualifiers and it is for fun. There are more details on my blog or on her website. Hope you are doing well. Nilda
