I’m totally declaring victory.

So in case you didn’t know, last night was my national tv debut.

I was on the Dateline “Surviving the Holidays Special.”

For about 90 seconds.

Not exactly major exposure.

But let’s look at what happened in those 90 seconds.

First, let me make sure you know that Dateline is, by its own description…” a newsmagazine dedicated to investigative reporting, mysteries, and social justice.”

So that means they know their shit.

They are experts.

And here is what the experts said about me in my short little 90 seconds of fame.

First, they quoted me saying, “I’m totally declaring victory.”

Which I’m sure I will never live down.

In fact, I got a text about 3 seconds after I said that from a friend.

And the text read, “You are totally declaring victory!”

So that will be some good material for my friends to use against me.

But I was answering the question that the off-camera  producer asked me.

She said, “So are you claiming victory?”

To which I replied, “I’m totally claiming victory.”

Not something I would normally say.

But I may just make it my new motto.

So anyway, aside from being completely victorious, Dateline reported 3 things about me.

And remember, Dateline only reports THE FACTS.

Okay.  So first, according to the experts, I pulled off  a “small Christmas miracle.”

In addition, I “did an incredible job of staying cool and calm.”

Remember, they only report the facts.

But, most importantly…

“According to our experts, SUSIE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT.”

Yep.

I am a cool, calm miracle maker. 

Who does everything right.

I’ve been telling my husband this for years.

Thank you Dateline.

Now I don’t even have to say anything to him.

I can just press play.
