Behind the Scenes at DD&D!
 Posted 9/2/2010 9:30:00 AM
I am not going to lie. I had no idea this place existed. No idea that it was blocks from our very radio station. No idea the food was so good and the concept so cool. No idea until I got a call from my friend Tom, who works with Guy Fieri that he wanted us to be there at noon on Wednesday.
The place is “Worth our Weight” in Montgomery Village. The action was a taping of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives.
First of all, it was an HONOR to be asked to be at a taping at DDD. I had always thought it would be so cool to attend a taping when Guy did one in SoCo – BUT I never thought we would get to go. So thank you Guy and Tom!

What Do I Care?

Nothing
seems to annoy people more than someone else being on a cell phone in
a public place. It is the most annoying thing in the world...until
you are the person on that phone...then it is, of course, a very
important call (you being the “euphemistic you” not YOU
directly...I am not trying to be a hypocritical finger pointer here)
I
saw a sign in the gym the other day that said “please refrain from
using your cell phone” - so as I took my walk to nowhere on the
treadmill – I gave this some serious thought.
I
decided that people being on a cell phone in my vicinity is low on my
long list of annoyances. If you were simply talking to the person
next to you – would I be annoyed? Probably not – but of course
there are caveats and stipulations.

As promised in my last
blog – more from SkyMall Magazine!
If you don't get the
opportunity to travel this summer, you can at least have some of the
joy by finding out some of the cool stuff in SkyMall right here. If
you DO get to travel, when you see these items...you will think of
me...right? Sure.
For some reason, I found the the stuff for your yard the most fascinating...
Page 38- Light up your
corner with a smiling solar tiki torch. Yes, just like Greg Brady
wore around his neck in that episode of the Brady Bunch where they
went to Hawaii and were cursed – you can have one sitting in your
yard. Glaring at your every move. There are several different smiles
to chose from.
Page 40 – This is a
GREAT idea. Do you have an exposed pipe or dead sprinkler head in
your ...
Vacation Thoughts...
Posted 7/11/2010 7:08:00 PM
You ever go on vacation and come home and wonder how it went by so fast? In fact – you feel like you may have been abducted by aliens and then unceremoniously dumped back into your home to deal with messes, bills, shopping, laundry and responsibility? That is hard feeling to shake...but inevitably it's the one I have every single time I come home from being on vacation. At the same time, I am so very lucky to come home and get back to working at such a cool job at such a cool place with cool people...
I am also lucky that I have this forum to share each and everyone of the thoughts that I had while on vacation.
Let us begin at the beginning:
1)You know when you are going to board a Southwest flight ( I was going to Tucson with my mother) and they line ...
I am Turning Into My Parents...here's how
Posted 6/10/2010 7:52:00 PM
The older I get, the more I realize I am turning into my parents...and that is ok. They are both incredible people who get more and more amazing as they get older.
BUT there were certain things that they did, that I did not understand when I was younger. Some of these things really annoyed me at the time...sometimes they still do...but the difference is - this time I am doing it!
1) Pulling the weeds when you get home: My mother would pull the car into the driveway and before going inside, she would often give the driveway and front yard a once-over. Picking and kicking weeds as she went. Plucking them and throwing them to the side. Sometimes, I had to wait to go into the house until she was done. The other day, I found myself doing this exact thing in my tiny front yard. Just today ...
