Family to receive visit from 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' to be divulged today

By MARCUS RAUHUT Staff writer

The local family receiving a new home on the ABC-TV show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will be introduced today.

No details about the family have been announced so far, other than it resides in the Pennsylvania-Maryland border area.

Saturday kicks off a one-week blitz to demolish the family's house and build a new one. Hundreds of construction workers, contractors and volunteers will be working around the clock to have the new house finished by Nov. 14.

The family is expected to meet with the builder today and begin moving out personal belongings.

The house is scheduled to be demolished Saturday with excavation work beginning Monday. The family is scheduled to return to their new house Nov. 14.

The show will air in January.

Dan Ryan Builders of Frederick, Md., will be responsible for procuring materials and recruiting thousands of volunteers and subcontractors who will work 24 hours a day for a week to build the home.

Other companies, such as Papa John's and Applebee's, are donating their time and serving food and drinks to the throng of workers and volunteers throughout the project. Applebee's in Waynesboro is planning a pancake breakfast Sunday and other fundraisers, with proceeds benefiting the family.

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" airs at 8 p.m. Sundays on ABC. Each week the show spotlights a family coping with an unusual situation in need of a helping hand.

This is the show's sixth season. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"

has won back-to-back Emmy Awards as best reality program (non-competitive).

We've been told they will be 'staying' out our Sheraton (by Ruby Tuesdays) ... I just want a sighting, that's all!

We have got to come together...

and support our new President! These hate mails and hate messages are insane! The more we try to object to Obama's presidency, the more we are going to fall apart as a nation. We need to realize that not only did the American's vote, but so has God. This is the way it was to happen. Things happen for reasons ...

GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES AND SUCK IT UP.

Deal with it.

It's done. It's over. You can't change it.

We witnessed a historical event...I'm proud to have been alive to see this!

If you want to bash Obama (OR McCain for that matter), please do NOT do so to me. Take my name off your mass emails. I will NOT be a part of it.

The light came on...

and I was scared. Every time the light comes on I get sick to my stomach. Why me? I put it off last night and thought to myself that I would deal with it in the morning. I instantly forgot about the light.

The morning came and I still didn't remember the light. I gather up the kids and throw (I mean place) them in the van. I feel happy go-lucky ... ok, not really, I just got done yelling at Jake for taking too long and I'm sure I yelled at the cat for just being there. Anyway, we get in the van, I turn it on and I remember. I instantly get sick in my stomach, I get scared again.

That damn light...there it is. Glowing as a reminder I need gas. Ugh.

I drive the boys to the bus stop and J to my MIL's ... I've put it off as long as I could. I turn into the gas station and look at the prices and I'm thinking wow, that went down from last week...

I'm watching the numbers and they stop at $36 ... wait, that's not right, maybe I have a faulty nozzle? I click it and a bit of gas spews out ...

it IS full and my total is only $37.77!

$20 less than weeks ago...I can deal with this!

Special visitors...

arrived in New York City yesterday at approximately 10:30am ... They visited a few sites, conquered the Subway (well, sorta), bar hopped (to 1 bar), watched a vehicle get broken into (NO joke), received a few blisters, ate in a HOT diner (one where we thought we were the ones being cooked) that they wouldn't recommend, AND had hangovers at 3pm.

Ok, so that doesn't sound like a blast, BUT if you add to it the people that went, and that we haggled for the real fake Louis Vuitton's, the real fake Doulchi & Gabbana, not to mention the real fake Coach, that shouts FUN and BOOYAH and WOOT and well, just plain YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

They/We ~~~ > myself, my mom, Louise and Andrea all ventured to NYC for a day of bar hopping and shopping.

After dropping off my mother-in-law at the Cathedral we proceeded to attempt the Subway. Interesting. Let's just say that yes, it saved us walking, but for the time it took us to figure out what we were doing, we could have been to the area we wanted to be. (Maybe WE couldn't have, but you get me.)

(Did you know that if you pay $7.50 into the ticket machine and the sale fails, it still keeps your money? Yep. Did you know that if you ask for your money back at the window the attendant tells you to call the number, they tell you how to get your money back, then send in blah blah blah blah ... she knew that by heart)

After walking in circles looking for Chinatown, but not aware we were going in circles, we finally decided to sit and eat and get a cold beerat a wonderful tavern on a side street. I'd tell ya where, but I really have no clue. We happened to go at a time when one of those little beer whore's were there, so we got a free pitcher of Miller Lite, some ML beads and ML earrings...free is good.

The waitress explained which way we needed to go to get to Chinatown, but we got lost several more times. The nice cops and nice New Yorkers finally got us there ... and there we were, haggling! We didn't just stop and haggle on the streets, but we were escorted into back closets, down stairs to basements, and into side doors. Ah, the life. (I think mom was rather shaken when one place locked us in. LOL)

After making our way down Canal St. and through Little Italy we found the Subway once again...by the time we got to our meeting destination we had about 1 1/2 hours left and decided to get something to eat. Our choice for dinner was less than to be desired, but we dealt with it. We were so drained and so tired that we just wanted to sit and wanted a nice cold drink, which were hard to come by since we were being cooked for dinner. Who in their right mind has their customers sit underneath stage lights, in a basement, with the heat on? At least put enough ice in the ice water so it doesn't melt in 10 seconds.

All in all ~~~~ It was a wonderful trip with wonderful friends!

The time flew by and I will gladly do it again! Despite our change of plans (bar hopping LOL) and my sore, blistered feet, I am anxiously awaiting the next time I get to go!

Oh, I forgot, one more thing...next time I'm taking a compass!

A beautiful site...
