more webcam fun

Lady Antebellum Webisode = Halarious

kevin got a new webcam

Morning!

My co-host, Kevin, got a new laptop. He's into taking studio pics and using the timer. Not bad for a self-portrait.

Oh, the fun.

my favorite moment of all-time

See that photo?

I've never laughed so hard in my entire life. I'm almost 38 years old, and I can honestly say, without a doubt, it was the funniest moment in my lifetime.

That's my husband Greg, by the way. We had been out with the boys, when he realized it was late and we needed to get home. He suggested getting the kids a 'bedtime snack,' though certainly not the healthiest, at a nearby McDonalds drive-thru.

So he pulled up to the speaker and placed the order.

As he slowly approached the window to pay, he grabbed our youngest's football helmet, saying 'Who dares me to wear this up to the window?'

He wasn't kidding.

So this was the final result, and I found myself snorting while crying tears of laughter, with the boys dying of embarrassment. Kids standing at the counter inside McD's stared and grabbed their parents to point at the weird guy wearing a football helmet in the drive-thru. (Greg yelled back, 'Go Colts!') The female employee turned to hand us our food and bust out laughing, saying 'I like your...uh...hat?'

Griffin chuckled, and capped off our cackle-fest by saying:

'Gosh, Mom...you haven't laughed like that since the 80's.'

Note to reader: He's 9.

I wanna sit next to Regis

Found out you can vote up to 50 times a day...so have at it.

Click the link here, then click LIKE and make your comment. The list is down to 100, and I want, more like NEED to make the Top 10. How else will I be able to find out what Regis smells like?

Yeah, I said it.

Regis is a handsome fellow, so I would imagine he wears some killer cologne. So far, the closest I've gotten to sniffing Reege is posing next to his wax statue in the Big Apple.

And that didn't smell so hot.

hot & hot-hot...not the same

Learned something new yesterday.

I'd been reviewing videos to send in to LIVE with Regis and Kelly for the possible co-hosting gig next month. A two-minute video from the semifinalists is required, about long enough for me to say hello, laugh, snort, goodbye.

Sounds like a winner, eh? (By the way, you can vote here by clicking LIKE on LIVE with Regis and Kelly's facebook page and leaving a comment!)

While doing this, our 5-year-old blurted out, 'Hey Mom, will Selena Gomez be a granny when I'm old enough to marry?'

WHAT?

No, not a grandmother, but a young adult, I told him as I tried to explain the age difference Here's the rest of that conversation:

Me: She won't be a granny, but she will be an adult. A mom, perhaps. Like me. Why you asking?

Him: Cause I'm gonna marry her.

Me: Oh well, maybe not. She's a bit older, buddy.

Him: Yes, I am!

Me: Honey...she's about 15 years older or so.

Him: So what. She's hot.

Me: Hayden!

Him: No, she's hot-hot.

Me: What's the difference?

Him: Hot means pretty. Hot-hot is like your girlfriend.

Me: Well, let's be nicer and say she's pretty. That sounds better.

Him: No, she's hot.

Me: Pretty. Just say pretty.

Him: Okaaaaaaay...she's pretty hot.

LIVE with Regis & Kelly...huh?

We've all done this.

The phone rings while you're fast asleep, and rather than reveal that you were catching some z's, you pretend to be wide awake, fooling no one and instead sounding like a moron.

That was me around 2:30 yesterday afternoon.

All morning dj's take naps, to make up, somewhat, for the fact that our alarm clock annoyingly screeches us awake at ungodly hours. So as I curled up in the fetal position with my favorite purple socks covering my toes, which always get cold when I snooze, I heard the phone ring and found myself reaching for the cordless next to my bed.

Me: mmmpphhhello?

Caller: Hi, this is Megan calling from LIVE with Regis & Kelly.

I immediately sat up in bed, and heard about every other word as I tried to wake myself. She went on to say that I was one of the 100 semi-finalists in their Women of Radio Co-host with Regis search. She nicely rattled off some information that I'm assuming she wanted me to write down, but at that moment nothing registered. So I pretended to jot down a number, trying my best to not sound like an incoherent version of Paula Abdul.

Greg later asked me all kinds of details, which I couldn't answer. Yet, I did manage to get this information:

Producers of LIVE with Regis and Kelly need you to post a comment here on their facebook page, telling why I should be voted through to the Top 10.

Four winners will be selected from the Top 10 to make the trip to New York City. Should I be so lucky, I have vowed to my co-hosts to wear a t-shirt which reads, 'I Love Jim & Kevin.'

And that just may kill me.

Here's Johnnnnnny...

John Rich, well-known as half of the duo Big & Rich, not to mention his many hits in the world of song-writing, stopped by our Pickin' Parlor Friday. He was as personable as they come, sharing laughs and stories about his family and life as an artist. Here's what we learned:

John compares changing a diaper to working on a Nascar pit crew. He's quick. Mainly because 'I don't wanna get peed on.'

John says a typical day for him when he's not busy is picking some peppers from his garden and preparing a meal.

John dresses himself, and selects his own clothes, most of which have been custom-made.

No, John's 9-month old baby, Cash, does NOT sleep through the night.

John is heavily impressed with artists like Zac Brown, Dierks Bentley and Lee Brice.

John selected the bikini-clad women on his new album cover, saying casting that gig was 'a tough job.'

John's wife chooses to stay home, rather than hit the road with her hubby, and John proudly showed us pics of Cash on his cell phone. (He looks like Momma!)

And that's a wrap.

7 things observed at the neighborhood pool

The Justin Bieber-looking lifeguard spends more time looking at his six-pack than he does the swimmers. Good to know.

The guy with the lobster-red back either fell asleep on his stomach or was going for that before-and-after look.

No tv network will be featuring the fashionable swimwear anytime soon.

Goldfish crackers float.

The right stall in the women's restroom is the cleanest. Always.

The person who yells 'Marco' during Marco Polo totally peeks, then denies it.

A trip to the pool in late afternoon is a good excuse to get out of cooking dinner and have the hubby bring home a pizza.

birthday shopping gets interesting

Birthday shopping.

I usually enjoy this, especially if it's for my sisters or a friend. Not a difficult thing, and I love the wrapping just as much.

Shopping for Greg is a different story. I did just that last week, hoping to get him something special instead of the usual shirt or visor. So, I decided on a watch. Or a hubcap, as my brother-in-law calls it.

Thinking it shouldn't take too long, I grabbed the kids and headed to the store, the one where they offer you a beverage because those few steps from the parking lot to the door must have been grueling. I reminded my youngest to not touch the glass, even though jewelry cases are an invitation for handprints and noses. And then it happened. We were soon greeted by a lady, who in turn, was greeted by my 5-year-old:

Hayden: Hi, it's my Dad's birthday.

Lady: It is? Well, are you going to get him a cake?

Hayden: No. A watch.

Lady: What a nice idea!

Hayden: We just got back from Disney World.

Lady: That sounds like fun!

Hayden: And I know where boogers come from.

NOTE: We did NOT buy here.
