Off to the Weekend

   Instead of blogging I should be straightening up my new abode.

 We're still hoping to get rid of our HUGE rug that's rolled up in the guest room- and once that's done I think it'll be easy to organize.

 There may be a reason people don't make it a habit of moving every 2 years... 

  Spent the a.m. making fun of Rock of Ages musical w/Constantine - they were on the View- and basically any other morning show who will have them-

    just glad we made it out of the 80's with no lingering fashion must-haves like slap wrist bands and scrunchies and big hair.

  Then flipping through the Ikea catalog to try to track down the rest of the pieces we need to pull our living room together.  We're getting there

 And wondering this morning at what point in life Weekends go from having 2 days off to having 2 days away from work, but working harder than you do when you're there.

  Have a great Friday !

Today was a whirlwind!

  Up too-late - hair cut & color ( whew! it was getting rough there ).

  no run, no nutrition, my story on 39news @ 9 was beer & what it says about your personality.

  A LOT ... in case you were wondering.

In my case, I wonder what it says about my personality that I don't drink beer.

 In fact, it's now day two of the great tea experiment

  Today, Tazo Green Tips - wonderful, caffeinated!

  I presented at the HoustonPress Music Awards tonight @ Warehouse LIVE in Downtown.

Big, rowdy crowd!  First emcee-ing event in Houston- had a blast!!

  Heading into the weekend now! Let's make it a great one!

Tazo tea bloggin'

 

Tazo tea experiment 

day 1-  'Awake' tea = delicious.

Since I'm officially off the Java- and by officially I mean about 1 week removed- I'm ready to find my tea love.

  We'll start caffeinated..then, when I'm really feeling crazy, I'll go for decaf.

  Just back from a hot, hot morning run- only logging about 10 miles a week for now- real Marathon training starts in about 1 month- then bye bye morning freedom! 

Hello ripped legs, though- so it's not all bad.

 Wednesday is my Monday.

Wish me luck!  New technology to try to remember, then execute- I've got 5 pages of scribbled notes to fall back on.

 Happy Mid-Week!

Getting Back on Track

 Yesterday and Today are about getting back on track.

  We've made some big progress with unpacking &  settling in.

Just as soon as I get the 20 foot by 11 foot rolled up rug out of my guest room I'll be able to get organized in there.  Rug for sale! Get your rug here! no one on Craigslist is biting- bummer!

 Since the dogs can't sleep on the new-to-us couch or chair & ottoman we're off to get Shelton a Cesar Milan dog bed- no other dog bed will do;)

  And it's back to school shopping for Andrew.

 Lunched today w/PR girlies from Toyota Center - so nice to catch up!

2 hour tech training at work today- I now know how to upload, download, ftp, compress, and join the company's network to publish and archive my videos. 

Whether I can remember how to power up my laptop on tomorrow .. well, that's another story.

Went to B of A today to deposit a check- and scraped up the side of my car as I was leaving. 

yowza!

This is car incident # 2 in about a week- almost popped off my passenger's side rear view mirror the other day backing out of the garage.

Why so distracted?  Time to put down the caffeine

  Enjoy your Tuesday! 

 

Off to the Movies!

   Our house is still a moving mess, but we're taking the afternoon off to decompress.

 Going to see 'The Ugly Truth'.

 It's a nice treat to have stadium seating again, our 2 year stint in Virginia didn't come with an updated movie theater.

 The only ones there were from the 60's - and still had the orange, crusty couches to remind you that they're not into upkeep.

Enjoy the day!

  

New Movie Casting in Houston

Sunday's my Friday

   It's a great lookin' Sunday (which is my Friday).

 Woke up to husband watching World Championship swimming.

I've been poking around the web working on video formatting for my website- which, for someone who doesn't know how to successfully operate a DVD player, can be challenging.

  I've got the August edition of Runner's World- sadly, not July edition- which tells you a great training plan for a marathon. 

   Tonight is the HoustonPress Music Awards Showcase in Downtown Houston.

That's likely where you'll find me from 4:30 ish until our 9:00 show www.39online.com

  gee, i hope that hyperlinks...because I'm new to this format, we'll just have to see-

  

One last thought: my husband would be happy to report that I took out the trash this morning without being asked. Yes, this is a normal adult thing to do. No, I don't make it a habit of doing it.

  I'm a work in progress :)

Enjoy your day!

How to throw a Tequila Party!

You're so kind! You're reading my first ever blog.

Each day on my blog I'm taking you 'behind the scenes' and away from what you see in TV land. The 23 hours, 58 minutes a day I'm NOT in front of the camera reporting on all things Entertainment on CW39 in Houston http://www.39online.com/

You'll find what you see those other two minutes in my video player- my tweets, my pictures, you've got access to it all.

My Today:

3 Mile run with my Husband in the a.m.- I LOVE a city run!

In my cd player on the ride into work- 'The Kin', the opening band for Rod Stewart who I interviewed on Friday - and two really, really nice guys.

Check out their website, and buy their new CD, you WILL NOT be disappointed! http://thekin.com/

Caught up with my Charlottesville News Anchor best friend, Cheryn- who keeps me laughing with her dry wit, and eternal optimism (lol, kind of kidding!) She keeps it real! One of the things I miss most about my old home (www.newsplex.com)

And today I'm fighting the good fight to stay off coffee, soda, alcohol, and most things chocolate.

YOOOWWCCHH! This is harder than I expected- especially because I normally have caffeine on an IV drip.
