Loved This

Thought I'd share...

Another interesting comment on my Starbucks cup yesterday. Tom Brokaw had this to say about our technology-driven world...

"It does us no good to wire the world, if we short-circuit our souls."

So true.

I've Got Hair-Envy

D.A.W.G. the Bounty Hunter.

I've mentioned previously that I got hooked on this show while on maternity leave with Hayden. Not because it was a quality show, but because the couple that star in it are quite entertaining. And so are there fashions.

I posted their picture, in case you've not been so fortunate to tune in.

I'd say more, but the picture says it all.

Enjoy.

Time To Wake Up...

Early.

That's what I tell people when they ask what time I get up in the middle of the night.

When Greg and I first met, he would say, "that's just not normal." True. But, it's my normal. All of us on the morning show try to nap during the day.

Yesterday, I snoozed a bit, and set my clock to be ready for the school bus to drop off my oldest child. When the clock sounded, I panicked. I jumped up, and immediately turned on the shower, hoping I wouldn't be late for my 5:00 am newscast.

The only problem was, it was 3:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.

It wasn't until Greg called to ask how Griffin's day was at school that I realized what was going on. Talk about a weird feeling.

I even scare myself sometimes.

Need Extra Cash?

Your garage.

Would you rent yours out to make some extra cash?

I saw something about this on television a couple of days ago. Some people are trying it, with the way the economy is going.

I don't think I could do it. Some stranger living in the messiest part of our house.

Reminds me of the time Greg built his own shelves to store tools and other items in the garage of our first home. He was so proud. Even asked me to come look as he basked in the glory of hard work.

We sat down for dinner 20 minutes later, and heard the shelves crash to the floor, in a dominoes-effect. The cost?

Supplies...$120.00

Money he saved making his own...$300.00

Giggles from his wife...Free

The look on Greg's face...Priceless

Um, Excuse Me, Boss...

I walked into my boss's office yesterday.

Needed to talk about a few things, when all of the sudden he glanced up at me and I realized he had done something to his face. It looked bloody between his eyes, or at the very top of the part that leads down to your nose. Where your glasses rest.

Except my boss doesn't wear glasses. And he doesn't shave up there, either.

Startled, I said, "Are you ok? You're bleeding." He thought for a moment, then laughed when he checked in the mirror.

My boss drinks a red fruit smoothie from a large-rimmed cup every morning. Every time he took a drink, it left a mark on his face.

Telling people he knicked his face trimming his unibrow sure makes a better story. Too bad he's my boss...

I Needed This

Today was a bad day. Then I saw this picture.

Enough said.

In Case You Missed It...

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.

They've been tapped to host the CMA's in Nashville, next month. Good choices. Both will also perform.

Brad will do anything to stay off the red carpet. He once told the morning show that "he hates it." Walking down the red carpet is painful for Brad, and he says he and his wife don't do so often.

As for Carrie, she told us that Spanx, the updated version of a girdle, are her new best friend when it comes to dressing up! That way she can eat what she wants in the dressing room.

At any rate, Carrie promises to not have any "wardrobe malfunctions," and Brad says "I would tune in, just in case."

Should be fun.

Too Much Free Time...

"I'd rather clean out my sock drawer."

Ever said that to someone? It's usually used in some sort of sarcastic fashion, as if to say cleaning out your sock drawer would be much more fun.

So, I had to laugh Saturday evening, when I began cleaning out my closet, and eventually...

...my sock drawer.

I thought to myself, "I really am cleaning out my sock drawer!"

Was I THAT bored?"
