Al Roker says: “You are fabulous just the way you are!” 
What a great morning! I shook Al Roker’s hand and saw my blog buddy, Caitlin, on national television. It was truly an amazing experience.
If you haven’t heard by now, Caitlin was on the TODAY show this morning to promote her newly released book, Operation Beautiful. So, a group of bloggers and I supported her with Operation Beautiful signs and t-shirts during the taping in Rockerfeller Center.
Going to the TODAY show was so cool, especially seeing Matt, Meredith, and Al up close and personal.
This morning, we had a group of 12-15 enthusiastic bloggers and readers supporting Caitlin and OB.
It was so fun seeing Caitlin on TV and being part of the experience. It was also great meeting some of my “internet friends” in person! 
After seeing Caitlin on the TODAY show, our group headed to Au Bon Pain for breakfast. I hit up the oatmeal bar and added all sorts of goodies to my bowl.
I also drank an iced soy latte from Dean & Deluca while at the TODAY show.
Yay!!!
I just checked into my hotel room. My plan is to hit the gym and shower. I smell.
Stay tuned!

Hope you’re enjoying your time in NYC. Wish I could meet for lunch with you and Rhodey Girl today!
It’s so weird when you start to read all these different blogs; seems like everyone knows everyone else, it’s like living in a small town made of people from all over the place. Hope you enjoy your NYC stay! I’ve always wanted to visit there.
So great of you to go support Caitlin and Operation Beautiful! I used to work a couple of blocks from the Today show, so I’ve done that early morning crowd thing at Rockefeller a few times. Only back then it was Katie, Matt, Al and Ann.
What a fantastic way to celebrate. If only I didn’t live all the way up in Canada! Very sweet of you girls to go support her
That is great that you were there to supper Caitlin! Looks like a great time! PS. I like your shirt

this whole “operation beautiful” journey has been amazing to watch, and it’s wonderful that you and the other bloggers went to support her. yay!
