Special Report September 26, 2008

Did you catch last night’s special report on the refugee family we profiled?
If so, you might enjoy reading my producer, Michael, notes.’
Here they are.
PRODUCER’S NOTES
 
Existing almost completely under the radar in this, and most other major cities, refugees are largely misunderstood, if even acknowledged.
 
However, when I initially pitched this story that would later [...]

Anniversary Surprise! September 24, 2008

Hi Everybody!  How are you?  Hope you’re doing well.
We celebrated our second anniversary Saturday!  It was a blast!
My hubby and I had two gift certificates for massages.  The massages were the BEST!  Ahhhh!  So relaxing.  In fact we were so relaxed afterwards that I almost fell asleep when we got home at 6:30 Saturday night.  [...]

Newlywed No More September 17, 2008

Say it ain’t so.  I looked it up and apparently after two years of marriage you are technically no longer considered a “newlywed” anymore.
So here I am at work on my second wedding anniversary and my newlywed status runs out tonight. 
It’s so crazy.  First you’re engaged and you’re a bride to be.  That is [...]

BARACK BEHIND THE SCENES September 17, 2008

If you think life is glamorous in local news, think again.
This is a little of how my day went yesterday…
I walked into the station when I got word that in twenty minutes I would be interviewing Senator Barack Obama.  Yep, twenty minutes.
How do you prepare to interview a presidential candidate in twenty minutes?
And honestly, I didn’t even [...]

Hold Onto Your Hats! September 15, 2008

Wow!  Hopefully, you and your families survived the storm okay.  Were you dealing with major cleanup and power outages?
My husband and I lost power for about 12 hours or so yesterday.  The wind was howling so loud I was even a bit shaken up.  Our house backs up to the woods so I just watched [...]

I’m No Rachel Ray! September 11, 2008

Trust me when I tell you I can’t cook.  I can’t bake either.  That’s why it was really funny when one of my recipes (for hash brown casserole) was picked for a new cookbook.
The folks who run a soup kitchen, Our Daily Bread,  in Over The Rhine put together a cookbook for charity and unveiled [...]

Elbow Grease September 9, 2008

I hope you all had a great weekend.  My husband and I enjoyed our first full weekend off together in almost two months this past weekend.  We had such a wonderful time with family.
On Saturday we drove to my husband’s parents lake house they have in Preble County.  It’s so quiet and so peaceful it’s [...]

CONSTRUCTION CHAOS September 8, 2008

Do you ever feel this way about your house…
Like maybe you’ll never be able to really get it the exact way you want it to look?
I have lived in apartments ever since I’ve been out on my own. 
You know how that is…you’re young and single with no plans to settle down anywhere in particular [...]

Sarah Who? September 4, 2008

Politics aside, seriously what do you think of Sarah Palin?
I know so many of you have an opinion.  What do you think?
I say regardless of whatever your party affiliation might be or who you might support, this has been a fascinating week and interesting turn of events.
Last Friday Sarah Palin was relatively unknown.  Now she’s [...]

Everyday Heroes August 19, 2008

How many times do you find yourself watching our news casts and feeling a little depressed afterwards?  It’s not a secret at all.  I hear that from you every single day.  Either I’ll get an email or phone call, or just when I meet you out at the grocery store or mall…people always stop and [...]
