March Madness 2010!

Posted in Family, Radio Chatter, Random Thoughts at 9:34 pm by Administrator

Well, well, well! Look at me blogging!

Now don’t forget I blog A LOT on the B96 Website and B96 Dance so be sure to check in on those…but this is where I get personal…well personal-ish!

Things are good, and getting better now that the sun is finally being more of a regular! I am SOOO over winter, and the cold, and snow. I was a very lucky girl though because my neighbor Mark and friend 007 were very chivilress and did most of the snow removal. I have the longest driveway with this horrible dip at the end – so I was VERY grateful! Now that it looks like most of it (with the exception of this Saturday – what the heck was that?!) is gone so I will repay them in several beers at the bars we frequent in our neighborhood.

Anyhow, other than that – my niece Isabella is so funny and getting sooo big! I put pics of her all the time on my Facebook. She turned 2 in October and is just such a chatter box – and now we can finally understand what she is saying! Some of it obscene and repeated from her trucker-mouthed mother (lol) and the rest songs she learns in school. She says “Becky” so I am over-the-moon happy.

My Dad is doing well, but still dealing with some health problems. He has another surgery scheduled in early May and while we are not looking forward to it – at the same time we all want it to be over already ya know? I am very lucky to have a flexible schedule to be present when all of this is happening. Plus, I only live about 10 minutes away from my parents which is nice. I would like to move closer to the city for work – but until I’m sure things will be ok I’m not making any plans. Besides, I HATE packing and as much as I hate to admit it (because I faught Kelly on it when we first moved in) I do love this house…and my neighbors. Whatever is suppose to happen will though I suppose.

Anyhow, other than that. Work is awesome. We are starting to announce our Summerbash line-up so I’m really excited. Plus, I’ve been booked for a lot of upcoming events so make sure you check in with the homepage to see where I’ll be so you can come play!

Hope you all are doing well! Kind-of on a side-note, B96 was at the Auto Show a few months ago and I felt like such a rockstar because so many people came up to say they use to listen to Joe and I on XLC! Love it! Not “cool” like B96 – but definitely where I got to know so many of you well and got to be a part of your lives! Now that Joe is back in Illinois we always joke about a reunion show. Don’t know if that will ever happen – our schedules are so different (he’s still doing mornings) we haven’t even really hung out since he’s been back! Lol. I blame Tim! JK!

Anyhow, take care and hope to see you all soon!

Hey!

It’s definitley fall! Can you believe it?

This will be a short blog – just checking in to see what’s up!

Jingle bash tickets are on sale now at www.b96.com so get them while they’re hot! Rihanna and Jesse McCartney have already been confirmed so hop to it! I can’t wait! Allstate Arena 12/16! Great early Christmas gift! Hope to see you there!

Also, 2 Halloween parties! City and Suburbs so grab the costume and come hang! I have no clue what I’m going to be – but I’ll deal with that later!

I’m off the next few days. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so my focus is him and my family. I don’t want to think about it or talk about it but it’s happening regardless of how I try to avoid it. I just pray that god willing, this will all be over and he will pull through with flying colors. I don’t have a ‘Plan B’. None of us do.

Anyhow, I’ve got a hot day of cleaning my house and paying bills. So off to start checking things off my list!

Take Care and Have a good day!
XOXO,
B

Can you believe my great niece Isabella is going to be 6 months old on Wednesday?!

It seems like just yesterday that she was born!

Jess sent out an e-mail earlier today to the family letting them know of her progress and sending some pics. I put them in a slide show below so you wouldn’t get pages and pages of her.

Jess said that she scoots, rolls, gets in to things, sleeps through the night in her crib, eats cereal 2x’s a day, and will be trying new foods in the next few weeks.

The funniest part was that she said that “she’s very vocal” and she doesn’t know where she gets it from?!

For any of you who’ve ever met my niece Jess, SHE is very vocal and colorful (the creative way of saying it). We’ve all been saying since Isabella was born that we can’t wait until she talks to see what she’s going to say. She also said that she likes to pet Pepper (their dog) and she makes a noise to call him over.

I know I’m gushing a little, but it’s so awesome to see Isabella grow-up and how much she changes in even a week’s time. She is such a good baby and Jess and Eric are really lucky!

My favorite part of this pic is if you look in the lenses you can see my niece Jess, my sister Patty and my other niece Shelby acting like dorks to try and get her attention or for her to smile!
