I love Maureen McCormick.
April 06, 2007
TGIF, blog buddies!!!
As I type this, people are watching me. Seriously. I'm being watched. I'll explain more in a bit, but first...
It's official. I love Maureen McCormick. Love love her. Like, in love with her.
I was her team captain on Celebrity Fit Club and she supported me in every way, even calling me in the mornings to discuss our breakfast choices and when or if we were separately going to the gym that day.
Maureen is, of course, iconic. But I never really watched The Brady Brunch growing up, so I knew her much better as "my friend Mo" rather than"Marcia Marcia Marcia."
Lately Mo's been doing a lot of press for the upcoming premiere of Celebrity Fit Club (April 22nd). It seems you can't turn on anything without seeing her beautiful face.
Well, she called me on Wednesday morning as I was walking my paw-fect little dog-ter, Louise, and said, "Ro! I'm on a plane to New York to do Good Morning America and Larry King Live!"
"No way! Will you please say hi to me on Larry King?"
"Of course!"
"Oh my God, fun! I'll tell my blog buddies to watch!"
"Okay, love you!"
"Love you more!"
"Uh uh."
"Okay, love you equal."
We end our conversations the same way every time.
Well, I missed her on Good Morning America yesterday, but caught the interview online later in the day. I couldn't believe it - there was my good friend Mo, but there was more. She was also MAUREEN McCORMICK, MARSHA BRADY. She was an icon. A star.
I suddenly got kinda nervous. I thought to myself, "Oh my God, you call her at home. You talk to her like she's just anybody else. You joke around with her. You swear in front of her. And, h my God, she's a star."
I kinda got totally weirded out.
And then I watched her on Larry King (guest-hosted by Dr. Phil) and the VERY first thing she said when he introduced her was... well, it went like this:
Dr. Phil: Please welcome Maureen McCormick.
Mo: Hi, Dr. Phil. Let me first say that my daughter says hi and I need to say hi to my good friend Ro!
Cut to me screaming on my couch. Maureen McCormick just said hi to me. Marsha Brady said hi to me. My friend Mo said hi to me. Suddenly I wasn't nervous anymore.
Maureen is a star and an icon, but she's also my friend.
She called me when she finished the live interview with Dr. Phil.
"Did you watch?!?"
"I did, Mo! Thank you so so much! I'm so proud of you - you did a great job."
"Thank you! I love you."
"I love you more!"
"Uh uh."
"Love you equal, then."
In other news...
Why am I being watched?!? Because we had our very first live chat session today in the new CHAT ROOM!
Did you get a chance to drop in to our CHAT ROOM to watch me write today's blog entry LIVE?!? It was so much fun! At one point I think there were almost 40 people in there chatting with me and keeping me company as I did my daily routine of writing the RossBlog.
Here I am chatting with y'all!



How fun is technology, right?!?
I hope those of you who attended enjoyed your glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of the blog! We'll do it again sometime soon, I promise.
And, finally, it's my best friend Kim's boyfriend's birthday today!!! He doens't want his name or picture on the RossBlog for reasons I'll never understand (I think he just likes being a jerk), so around these parts we call him "Dietrich Underpants" (he chose the name).
We're going to drinks and dinner tonight to celebrate. Everyone say, "Happy birthday, Dietrich Underpants!"
Have a great weekend, gang!
