So my plan is working! If you are a regular follower/lurker on my page then you know that I have a plan that has been in motion for over a year to meet Oprah and infiltrate her inner circle.
Here is how the plan is supposed to work. (Recap)
1. Be featured on fellow bloggers site to create a buzz. (done)
2. Be The Feature Blogger for SITS.Com (DONE!!)
3. Someone from SITS knows someone that knows someone that knows someone that knows Gayle and invites Gayle to visit my site.
4. Gayle stops what she is doing and calls Oprah!
5. Gayle tells Oprah that she must read God's Favorite Shoes blog!
6. Oprah sends for me to talk about blogging, style, teaching, or teaching with style. Whatever works for her. I'm flexible.
7. When I get there, Oprah will surprise me with a book publishing deal or a job on her O' Magazine writing staff or hire me as a staff style consultant. (I totally made that last position up!)
8. I will be so funny, cute and witty that she will invite me for different segments on the show...bumping Dr. Oz's segments.
9. Oprah will ask me to be in her "inner circle" with Gayle, Andre the hairdresser, Nate the design guru and Stedman!
10. Who cares about #10 if steps 1 through 9 works!
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!
Well, my plan is working! We all know that everyday and every step is getting me closer to the O. Today, I am THAT much closer because I am the FEATURE BLOGGER OF THE DAY for SITS.COM!
For those uninformed, SITS is basically a blogging community to support and encourage readership. Just think of it as a support group for crackheads. Today I am the TOP CRACKHEAD...I mean Feature Blogger! It's a big deal!
Welcome to all my visitors. This blog initially started out as a way to show my style to "thick" women but I started caring less about the Jelly and more about making sure this Jelly looks good in heels! So then it just became a blog about my style and having that style on a budget.
Along the way, I've become an expert thrifter and self appointed, non credentialed, never been hired stylist who happens to like her shoes. In my world, a belt under the boobs, Spanx and a high heel pretty much solves the world's problems. I am the teacher that might possibly love her shoes a little more than her students...but around these parts...that's okay!

To show off some Southern hospitality and help you around the place, here are a few links to my favorite posts. They "almost always" include something about thrifting, my allergic reaction to crocs or Christmas sweaters, my affection for the invention of Double Stuffed Golden Oreos, my mind wondering at the most akward times, my plan to be Oprah's BFF before she goes off the air, my obsession with black lately or my abusive relationship with pretty shoes that hurt my feet!

2. You want to know what I do while I'm at work?...click here:)
3. You want to learn how to wave to a hater?...click here:)
4. You want to know what I think about when I go to a club?...click here:)
5. You want to see how my first adult Halloween experience went?...click here:) It was not pretty!
6. You want to read my letter of apology to a Shoe Designer?...click here:)
7. You want to know what happens when people like me go to the gym?...click hereI got dressed up for this occassion! Not that I need an excuse to do so!
(Note to self: Shorten the length on this dress to above the knee. Never hide the calves. NEVER!)
Well, okay...I technically got dressed up for Jesus on Sunday but let's just say it's for you! Don't let this wrap dress fool you...I will bust out a catsuit and blazer with the quickness!

You are giving me the giggles today girl. Love reading your posts.
Happy SITS day to you. I hope you meet Oprah real soon.
I love your plan - glad to hear you are one step closer to O!
Good luck - you can do it!! My husband was invited to be on Oprah in 2001. He received the call on Sept 9th. He was very excited! But then 9/11 happened. And they called him to say that they were no longer going to shoot the show he was going to be on and they were going a different direction with topics (understandably). He's really sad that she is going off the air and that he still hasn't been on Oprah. I hope you can do it!

congrats on the SITS day! this is SO going to happen for you!
You crack me up, AND you have great taste in shoes! Keep workin' it!!
Happy SITS Day!
I don't know anyone that knows Gayle, but I did have a friend that was *almost* a guest on Oprah once about ten years ago. That's about the closest I could come to helping you.
Good luck!
I love it! You WILL meet Oprah!
Happy SITS day. LOVE your blog!
Congrats on being featured on SITS. And I hope you get to your goal soon. And what a great goal it is.
Glad to meet a felow Texan! I was shocked when the school announced the day that it sleeted/snowed/sprinkled all day that they would have a late start the next day before the kids left home that day. The roads were wet, but not icy or snowy the next morning! I find it more funny since I have lived up north and that weather is standard in the winter. Good luck on your plan to meet Oprah and if you get famous and need a photgrapher, look me up!
Happy SITS day!
Ha! I love you plan!!! -I totally hope it happens for you too...and that they need your SITSters to be in the audience at the show!
Happy SITS Day!!
Happy SITS day!
Hi,
Nice blog! Full of hope and aspirations. Good for you! Enjoy your day girl!
You have a very fun blog. Good luck with you plan to get on Oprah!!!
Happy SITS Day.
Happy SITS day!
Your blog is hilarious and you remind me so much of a good friend of mine. So I must cyber stalk you =P
Congrats!
Girl, you CRACK ME UP! I LOVE it and I just KNOW you're going to bump that Dr. Oz right off the show! It WILL happen and I can't wait to hear about it!
Congrats on your SITS day!
~melody~
Happy SITS day! Love your page & can't wait to see you on Oprah ;) But if you bump Dr. Oz I will be very upset with you... but get an autograph for me from Nate? :)
FINALLY! A chance to stop by from SITS and check out your awesomeness!
I love shoes... and handbags... and good clothes- and by good clothes I mean the REALLY good ones like the awesome ones the USA Olympic Team wears- the Ralph Lauren ones... that I can only afford to look at online... when no one is looking to see me cry because the sweater is 400.00 and the pants are way too much too!
Vintage style shoes- like the 20's 30's and 40's is where it's at... tall heels, spiky heels, thick heels... they had it all with a little attitude thrown in too...
Happy Sits day if now a bit late, the sentiment is the same. Congratulations! I love your site, very witty and funny. I always wanted to be BFF's with Oprah, but now I've decided you deserve it more. So, I'm stepping aside. I'm abdicating to you.
Now regarding the shoes, specifically the heels. I have always thought that God should have put treads on our feet so we wouldn't even have to wear shoes! I hate shoes and usually don't go for more than flip flops just out of necessity. I do life at the beach which makes life in flip flops even in winter an easy bet. I may have to reconsider, you have some pretty cute shoes on your site. Check out my post on my daughter though, because unlike myself, she LOVES heels. I think you'll get a good laugh from it. It's from Sept. 2009 and called Black Heels, Skate and Goofy Girl. I'm bookmarking your blog, and have a lot more reading to do. Glad I found you.
Happy SITS Day! I know....I'm like a day late but I couldn't pass up a chance to wish you a good weekend and see your beautiful shoes that God approves of. Lovely!
Happy SITS day. I hope you do infiltrate her inner circle ... LOL
Visiting from SITS ... you are one fabulous lady!!! Congrats on your big day!! :o)
"You go girl!!!" I hope you get on Oprah's show. Maybe there's a way all of us SITSters can sign some kind of petition on one of your sites to help convince Oprah. If you get enough signatures .... well who knows **smile**
www.FunnyPhotosContest.com. Submit CUTE or FUNNY photos and tell friends to vote. $2,000 in prizes. No entry fee.
Congratulations on the feature! How wonderful! And I love your plan to get to Oprah - you crack me up! Keep it up - you're obviously doing something right!
I hope you had an amazing SITS day. And those shoes....LOVE!
I love your list : ) and as soon as Oprah meets you she will instantly hire you to be on the show regularly! How could she not? You are like the funnest blogger on the planet : )
Love your tights!
ok...love your post....love your shoes, and really, really loving the white dress(?) with the jacket and black wrap around your waist! love, love, love!!!
ps...i too, would LOVE if Oprah would somehow come across my blog and put me on tv! hehehe....
I am late but I am glad I am getting caught up now...Happy belated SITS day!
