SO SLEEPY… July 31, 2008

If you tune in tonight and you hear snoring… or we come back from weather and my heads on the desk… don’t worry.  I didn’t have a heart attack.. I’m just sleeping.
Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like someone took your batteries out?
I just can’t get it together today!  I don’t know [...]

NOT A FUN NEWS NIGHT July 30, 2008

Tonight when you see me do the news… know that in the back of my mind.. I’m saying EWW!
I’m talking about this man accused of having sex with a corpse.
What is wrong with people??  The poor woman was murdered.. her throat was cut… and while she’s in the morgue someone had sex with her body.
I [...]

CRAB-RAGEOUS! July 28, 2008

The Crabby Party was a success!
It was so so cute!   I know my family (and Kyle) probably thought I was nuts with the crab theme.. but it was so much fun.  For the first time I really felt like I did something special with Cameron.  He gets so gypped being the first child.  So it was [...]

GOING TO THE DOGS July 24, 2008

It’s a good thing that I’m an animal lover… or my youngest dog Lucy would be sitting at the pound tonight.
Lucy is the sweetest most lovable dog you’ll ever meet.  She’s a rust colored Cocker Spaniel who looks like she might even have a little Irish Setter in her but I’ve never told her that. 
Anyway, [...]

PICTURE PANDAMONIUM July 23, 2008

Remind me the next time (if there’s a next time) that I decide to get pictures done with my child…. to be sure it’s BEFORE they’ve just learned how to walk!
Oh my gosh!  Sunday was complete mahem at my house.  I was so excited to finally get Cam’s pictures done.  FINALLY!  I had an old friend coming over [...]

BIG WEEKEND PLANS July 19, 2008

Okay..they’re not really big plans… just exciting for me.
I’m getting Cameron’s pictures done professionally for the first time.  It’s pathetic actually.  Poor Cameron is going to turn one next weekend and this will be the very FIRST TIME I’ve gotten his pictures done.
As if that’s not bad enough.. he has to share the spotlight with [...]

WORKING ON THE WEEKEND July 17, 2008

It’s Wednesday but I’m still thinking about a conversation I had over the weekend.
One of the hardest parts about this job is the feedback we get.  What I mean is not only do I get feedback from my bosses and peers (like most of you probably get) but I get feedback from neighbors, friends, family and pretty much [...]

HE’S OFF! July 16, 2008

Okay, it’s official!  Cameron is walking!!  It just clicked.  He really took off this weekend. 
I guess someone told him about the comment I made… about his chubby feet looking like platforms… and now he’s showing me… BIG TIME! 
He’s walking, practically running, all over the place!  He looks so cute too.  He’s still a little off [...]

THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK July 10, 2008

Thank you so much for all of the feedback about July Sweeps!
Several of you responded to me directly by email.. so I appreciate all the input, GOOD AND BAD.  I had far more of you respond than I did about the “Crab Party” 
Oh.. and by the way.. the Crab invitations have been ordered as well [...]

NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT? July 8, 2008

Hello!  Happy Monday.. well Tuesday.  It’s almost midnight.
We’re in the middle of July ratings here.  We call it “sweeps”.  It happens four times a year, February, May, July and November. 
My question is… does this matter to you? 
Do you notice that we do bigger more “in-depth” stories?
It’s not that we don’t do a good job the other 8-months [...]
