COMPETING FOR YOUR READERSHIP

So now I'm panicking...All thanks to Mike Walter who mentioned in his blog that among our blogs at the station, mine is in second place (behind Stat911) I am happy and kind of freaking out because now I feel like I have to really earn your readership. Can I coast on stories about my goofy family, cats and Ben updates??? Can I??

And what's with this email (again, it was in Mike's blog) from our webmaster, Rick, about blog or have your blog cancelled? I didn't get that email -- when did that go out and why did I miss it? That puts me on edge, too, because you *know* that's how things start: First you are not included in the loop with key emails, next your blog goes away and then before too long, your picture mysteriously disappears from the station website...hmmmmmmmmm.

Okay, if Mike WalteR (note the lack of an S on his name -- it is amazing how many people who KNOW HIM, including my mom, call him Mike WalterS) is going to blog whether or not he has anything to say, then so am I. Wait, I already do that.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I should take a moment to catch up with you. I have been kind of busy helping Ben build a pantry in his kitchen. So, instead of lounging on the couch watching the filled-up-TIVO-of-Designed-to-Sell-and-Divine-Design, I have been put to work. I now know how to dry wall (!!!) I can "mud", too. But boy does it get dusty. I have to wear this mask thing that makes me feel like Darth Vader. But the pantry is almost done. It is actually a test, I think. I have convinced Ben that he should help me remodel my kitchen and add a half bath. So, he agreed to help me after we finish his pantry. I think he wants to see if I can be somewhat handy (does he even know I own my OWN miter box???) and see a project through.

Anyway, the pantry is almost done. I'll post the finish product soon.

Hey, thank YOU for reading my blog. I am sure my mom and sister will be THRILLED to know that their goofy pictures were viewed by THOUSANDS of people. By the way, during our show this week, I was sent a picture of our latest "mammal" to join the weather team -- a bonafide WEATHER BUNNY! His name is Spookster and he lives in Fairfax. Apparently, he is let out of his huge multi level "house" every morning during our 5:30am broadcast and is right in the middle of munching on some lettuce when my weather segment comes on at 5:45am. Anyway, if you have any pets who's morning routines revolve around any portion of our morning show, please let me know! If you get a picture of them watching us or even video, I could see this being a fun segment -- at the very least I would love to show it in my blog.

Okay, I am off to jet out for some eats -- the Bonefish Grill has this dish called (I never get this part right) Muscles Josephine, or is it Oysters Josephine, or is it Clams Josephine? Whatever it is, I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.

See you soon and THANKS AGAIN FOR READING MY BLOG -- HAPPY NEW YEAR!
