WE ARE STARS!

Hi Everyone, We got the front page of The Litchfield Enquirer on Friday. This is a newspaper that comes out once a week in our town so if you live near and want to read about us it is a very long article. We went to Target's tonight in Torrington (one city over) that just opened and a teenage girl came up to Cindy and said were you on MADE. Yup, Cindy replied. Oh, I thought I regconized you. I have four friends that think your brother is hot. Then a mother and a daughter noticed Cindy too. The lady's other daughter went to The Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts (one of Cynthia's two high school she attends) with Cindy. How funny it is to be regconized while you are shopping. A bunch of people have asked us about the food scene where our trainer and a nutrionist came and took all the food out of our house. It was not staged and we didn't know a head of time about it. I bet you could tell by the expressions on our faces that we did not know. We actually had just went grocery shopping the night before. Everyone in the house was very upset because: 1) we were going on vacation in three days so we had lots of groceries that we had picked up in the last month stock piled in the pantry closet 2)we just went grocery shopping so we had lots of healthy food in the refrigerator 3)They emptied out Chris Sr.'s refrigerator in the cellar were he had a big collection of different kinds of beers for everyone's taste. 3)Chris Jr. probably knew once the sugary stuff was out of here. Mom was not going to bring it back. 4)Cindy felt at the time they were crazy. Now she feels like I do that it had to be done. 5)Me I looked at it like bye bye money. MTV producers got the word from higher up that all they wanted to see was a white refrigerator and white walls. The producers, our trainer, and the higher ups at MTV did not know we had that much food in our pantry, etc. The trainer asked us if we were stashing away food in case of a war. LOL. NO we just like to shop at Coscos and stock up. MTV couldn't bring it to the soup kitchen because it was closed by the time they got done and the food kitchen does take fresh food, etc. What a mess. My husband and Chris Jr. had to see our food get throw away in the dumpster of the food kitchen. We wished they would have filmed it and then let us give away the food to our family (especially the beer Chris Sr. says). MTV didn't actually give us money for the food but need pay for us to grocery shopping for our vacation and bought us some fresh produce one other time. It had to be done. Todays hi goes out to Carla the nutritionist who we met with one other time after she took our food. Bonnie
