Don’t Give Up… YET June 29, 2007

Have you given up on the Reds?I know it isn’t exactly easy not to. Just when you think they’re going to pull out of this losing slump… they blow a great lead. The bullpen has been plagued with problems this season. I think going into tonight’s game against the Cardinals, we’re 16-and a half games [...]

Protesting Paris June 28, 2007

I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve had enough of Paris Hilton.
Now if you’ve been reading my blogs you know I love entertainment news. It’s one of my guilty pleasures. But seriously, what did Paris Hilton do to deserve this much air time? Don’t get me wrong… we run stories about her too. [...]

Another Great Read June 26, 2007

I used to be a late night show junkie. I’d get home from work (sometime after midnight) and immediately turn on the TV. It was my way of relaxing and unwinding. My husband and son are always sound asleep. So, it’s just me and my three dogs. Usually this means [...]

ZOO MANIA June 25, 2007

Do you have a Zoo pass for your kids??If you ask me it’s the best thing going. We bought a Zoo pass for a family of three last year. I think it was something like a hundred bucks for the year.. parking included. We’ve used it so many times I can’t even [...]

SOCCER SENSATION June 21, 2007

A few weeks ago I told you how I was signing my three year old up for Soccer. Now my father (or Grandpa P. as my son calls him.. Paolello is still too much of a mouthful) makes fun of soccer. Couple that with the fact that my son also participates in [...]

OBSESSIONS IN NEWS June 20, 2007

In the news business there are always stories that we not only report on but obsess over.
We have to be balanced. And I think we are.
But when you’re a journalist you can’t help but get close to a story, especially one that you’re covering every day.
The latest example locally would probably be Marcus Feisel. We [...]

GUILTY PLEASURES June 20, 2007

I have lots of guilty pleasures.
I LOVE chocolate. I could eat it every day (these days.. several times a day) if I wouldn’t gain ten pounds!
Even though I’m a news junkie, I love hearing about celebrity gossip. If you see me in the checkout line at Kroger, you’ll likely catch me checking out [...]

BRING ON THE HEAT! June 18, 2007

I know its hot out.. but I’m loving the summer (or almost summer.. I think the official day of summer doesn’t begin until this Thursday).It’s not the heat and humidity! I have naturally curly hair. So, it makes for bad hair days (ladies you know what I’m talking about). And I’m eight [...]

FRIDAY NIGHT FRENZY June 16, 2007

In a matter of minutes… everything can change in a newsroom. I went into [...]

REALITY CHECK June 14, 2007

I was part of a great charity today but some how I left feeling a little sad.Before I came to work I had to stop by Children’s Hospital for a check presentation. News 5 and our Ruth Lyons Children’s Fund raised 115-THOUSAND DOLLARS for the hospital. That’s a lot of money, 42-thousand dollars MORE than [...]
