Draggin my behind BAD on Thursday!
Really – I’m just so beat today! The sad thing is I got so much sleep yesterday! My body is so backwards! It’s like the more sleep I get the more tired I am. So weird.
Tim was cracking me up this morning because he said he was tired too (from watching all 15 innings of the Cubs game and then the Avs game) and that he almost flipped over the garbage can right outside the studio. I laughed at him…but then when I went to grab something from our office I almost did the same thing. KARMA!!!
Anyhow, one more day until the weekend and I couldn’t be more excited!
Well, I feel like I should address something that’s been a common topic for your e-mails and phone calls…what the heck happend to Jon?!
In a nutshell, he resigned this week. He was sick with a cold he couldn’t kick and I guess he had some other stuff going on and the morning show just wasn’t working out for him. I wish I had more to tell you – but I don’t know much more than that. The last time I spoke with him was via text message this past Sunday when he said he wouldn’t be in on Monday. After the show on Monday I was informed he wouldn’t be returning.
Jon and I got along well, and we’ve been friends for years. I am very surprised at how things turned out because I know he was very excited about the opportunity. It is what it is though, and the show must go on.
I know they are looking for someone to fill his spot – let’s hope the third time is the charm! I spoke with Joe and he mentioned that when his original co-host left, the person they picked to replace her lasted about a month too…and then came ME! He also was laughing because his new co-host has some serious back issues and will more than likely be taking some time off for surgery so we’ll both be solo – who knew right?
I just want to thank EVERYONE for the really nice e-mails and for being so supportive as I fly the ship solo. I have been trying really hard and am so lucky to have Tim and Monica with me everyday. Not only have they been a big help to making the show “fuller” – but they are honestly good friends of mine off-the-air so it’s just like hanging out with my friends every morning and I think it creates a great energy and I hope that comes across.
I want to give you guys the best show possible! So you have my promise that I’ll keep trying to kick some morning show bootie! WOO HOO!
OK! Well speaking of – lots of things to do this morning so I’m going to have to wrap this up!
I will leave you though with this funny picture of Sophie. I haven’t put pics up of her in a while. Kelly gave her a bath the other day and sent this to me and it is just so sweet!
Those are bubbles on her nose – yes, she has special doggie bubble bath. The most spoiled dog in the world! I don’t even have bubble bath! HA!
Have a great day!
