Hola!
Hope everyone is having a great week so far! It’s hard to believe it’s Wednesday already right?!
Anyhow, a little recap action.
So Saturday was my first Summerbash with B96! (I went to one like a million years ago…but this was my first as an employee)
It was a blast. To be honest I really didn’t know what to expect. I almost had a heart attack getting there though because there was this insane accident on the way and I was stuck in traffic (as in not moving for over 30 minutes)! But I got there on time for my 10a-2p shift so it was all good.
I put the pics up in the new PICTURE section of the site – so check it out. J-Niice was joking with me since I was taking a ton of pictures like “oh you’re THAT girl”. The funny thing is I was THAT girl until the actual show started and then I was so in to it I didn’t take a single pic really!
I was fortunate to see the park empty – and saw everything being set up…and knew all the planning that went in to it, so to see that (and have pics like a dork) and then to see it in full force was nothing less than amazing. The listeners were awesome. I am not officially on the B96 website yet so people who won tickets to the show from me were actually looking for me to thank me and that was by far one of the best things for me personally. I can proudly and HONESTLY say, I love my job, I love my co-workers, and my first official big event with B96 was an A+! It really was over-whelming for me – and I can’t wait to do it again!
I have 2 funny stories to share.
1)I spent all day frickin Friday looking for something to wear. Like 2 weeks ago I saw 400 things I liked…but when I actually looked – NADA! I got something that was adequate and got a lot of compliments so I felt good…until I saw the pics online! OH DEAR JESUS! The shirt was a baby doll shirt and it was windy…and I look like I’m wearing maternity clothes! I nearly died. I know it’s lame – but if people didn’t make it to the show and this is the first they are seeing of me – I don’t want to get baby gifts ya know?
2)I LOVE TKA! OMG! You have no idea. I know every song, have every CD,etc. When they were performing (they were the flashback artist) my friend Lindsay was dying laughing like “Oh my gosh how do you know this?” (She had no clue who they were and so I had to school her). So anyway, I was going backstage with this guy Gil from the station and we were both talking about how much we love TKA and then all of a sudden Kayel was standing there (from the group)! So like a bunch of dorks were took pictures with him and were all giggly. He’s always running the board Sunday morning when I get to work and that’s the first thing he said to me the day after the show, “Wasn’t that cool how we met Kayel”.
Anyways, that’s all I have about that right now.
So what makes this a big week? Well for starters…
Make sure you send Tim Vander Tuuk a MASSIVE congrats! He won a Silver Dome award for News broadcasting (it’s like the Emmys of Radio). I love my Timmy! I miss my Timmy. WOO HOO! He was nominated before I left but I totally forgot last night was the ceremony. He text, “I’m the Champion! Sara call my parents” – I was like what the heck does that mean? Then he told me! I’m so happy for him. I hope someone gives that kid a fat raise so he can make me some more Vander Tuuks soon – Jake is going to be 2 next week! Can you believe it!
THEN, the other big news, my niece Katie is coming home to visit! She’ll be home Saturday, and she turns 21 on Sunday! WOO HOO! She’ll be here for about a month from Florida and then will go back to school. She is graduating early (from FSU) in December and will then start Medical School. My little braniac!
So, now I’m officially spent! I got nothing else right now!
On that note, I’m off to the gym – I figured I’d get everything online up-to-date since Kelly is gone and it’s quiet right now.
I changed all the music on the site and UPDATED “Rebecca’s Rumors” so check it out!
Enjoy the nice day!
XOXO,
R

It’s Thursday night – my night with Isabella – and she is out and here I am blogging! I’ve actually been with her a lot this week because Jess’ babysitter was out because her Mom had a stroke. I don’t mind – I have the time right now and she is such a good baby.
A little catch-up (not ketchup), I made the decision this week to stay at my house solo when Kelly moves out in August. Financially I can do it alone now, and I love my house, my neighbors, my landlord, etc. It is such a weight lifted off my chest. I am so going crazy now decorating in my head! Kelly’s room will be my office, my room will stay, I bought new stuff for the bathroom, all new kitchen stuff, got new stuff for the basement, I just have to buy my living room set and TV. I know what I want but I’m not getting it until Kelly and Sophie are gone. I also bought a grill and my Mom got me the CUTEST patio set for 2.
You have no idea how excited I am. I have to stop shopping though because I already started storing stuff at my parents house because there’s no room w/all of Kelly’s thing there. Our garage (which the Chevy will eventually go in) is filled with crap that Kelly put in there. As in her “cleaning her room” consisted on just moving it to the garage for the 5 years we’ve lived there.
If you’ve ever lived with someone (I know I’ve talked about our ‘adventures’ on-the-air), I am more than ready to live alone! I am a neat freak – she is not. I like my privacy sometimes – everyone knew where our spare key was…except her, who broke in to the house countless times. We were for sure the odd couple. I know we will get along like peanut butter and jelly when she is living with her boyfriend in their own place.
I should take pics of the place (I think there is a cribs episode somewhere?!), Kelly moved in a month before me and decorated in some country hippie style. I am very modern. It will be interesting to see the changes.
Well Jess is home so I am going to abruptly end.
Tomorrow is the Eve of my first Summerbash on “the other side” – I can’t wait!
Have a good night.

Where the heck did the week go?
Well the good news is “Rebecca’s Rumors” is already up and it’s before 9:15am! Go me! I know I’ve been neglecting you! It’s REALLY long today though to make up for it!
I have a busy day so I hope I don’t get distracted!
I have a hair appointment this afternoon, I still have to workout, and I have to look at 2 more apartments. I THINK I found the one I LOVE yesterday…but let’s not get a head of ourselves.
Tonight me and the girls are going to a club called Privelege (yes, that’s how it’s spelled) so I’m pretty excited to get some new scenery if you know what I mean. Dougie Stlyz from B96 and Dj Flipside are going to be there so I’m gonna go show my love!
So, every Thursday I watch Isabella since Jess has a CPA class. She was a complete maniac yesterday! I took a TON of video of her which I’ll have to put up later. But here is a pic of her playing.
Of course EVERYTHING goes in her mouth because she is teething (and has her 2 front bottom teeth already)…
Then some of my favorites are of her eating. She is trying so hard to feed herself…and well it doesn’t work. On the menu last night (and on both of us) was green beans)…
She is soo funny! She normally goes to bed at 7:30pm (as in she’s out)…but I didn’t get her down until an hour after that because she just wanted to keep playing. I’d put her down and she’d be fine and then she would cry. I’m not a push over and I’d let her cry…and she’d stop. But then one of the times she didn’t and I went to check on her and she had a little tear in her eye and I was butter! We played for about an hour more. I love that kid so much.
Anyways, off to be productive!
Have a great day and I’ll talk to you soon!
XOXO,
R

Hey!
Hope you all are having a wonderful day and enjoying the HOT weather! Holy crap! It’s so hot in my house right now – I love it! (not the hot in the house…but just that it’s hot outside)
Anyhow, weekend was good! Hung out w/my girls Friday night. Worked Saturday…and recovered from Friday night. Then I had the early shift on Sunday and went to check out a band at an outdoor bar. I tried to be outside as much as possible!
Back to the work thing though – the listeners are getting crazy trying to win Summerbash tickets! It’s hysterical. I had so many text messages and phone calls from guys telling me they would buy me Victoria’s Secrets if I hooked them up, that they would take me with them – and even how beautiful I am…even though they can’t see me, and I have no pics on the website yet! HA! I was cracking up! I was like I could be 500lbs w/a horn sticking out of my head?! Shameless!
The best was this one guy Jose kept calling and he spoke very broken English…but he was doing his best and kept calling me food names like “sugar”, “Honey”, “cupcake” – but in a thick Hispanic accent: “eshoo-ghar” (sugar), “uh-kneee” (honey), and “coop-cay” (cupcake). “Can I please ave some teek-ats eshooghar?” (translation – Can I please have some tickets sugar).
I love working there so much. I can’t wait until the summerbash on June 14th @ Toyota Park!
Well, I just wanted to blog quickly and share that with you! I’m off to have dinner w/my friend Fatty. I love him so. Plus, I have a stack of apartment listings that I’ve been swamped in! Ugh!
Anyhow, check out “Rebecca’s Rumors” – the Red hot for the day has one of the stars of “Sex and the City” returning with her own series on HBO! It’s too hot!
Plus, if you get a chance check out the movie “Strangers” – I had my face covered half the time! Freaked the heck out of me! I was afraid to be home alone that night! Good stuff!
Have a good night!
XOXO,
Bec

Oh my goodness! What an insane day! I swear I’ve talked to everyone in the free world today! The good news is I got all my “business” done today except for 2 small things…I have to drop something off at the post office and go renew my gym membership and then I can chill! Woo hoo!
If you haven’t noticed Rebecca’s Rumors is updated and has one of the new songs from “Sex and the City” the movie – as well as my RED HOT about what David Archuleta plans on doing with his life – good stuff!
Anyhow, been bonding with the ladies a lot. Lindsay and Sarah are newly single (just by coincidence at the same time), so now I feel like I have my crew back and we are out on the loose!
They were over this past Friday night for blueberry martini’s and then we hit the bars with my neighbor Tommy and we met my friends Chris, Val, and Val’s boyfriend (who’s name I can’t remember to save my life?! AH!) It was too good of a time and then I got called in to work at 7:30am on Saturday morning! I looked like I got run over by a truck! I still had a stamp on my hand too from the night before. I didn’t go on until 10am so it was more than enough time to get it together but still…it was rough!
Saturday after work I had dinner with Fattie and then he had to work so he dropped me off and I just chilled at home. I really didn’t feel good – at this point though it was a sore throat and stuffy head – no more hangover.
I did however check out my friend Sebastian on T.V! Yea! Joe and I actually met him over a year ago (we had him on our show – he was in town doing some stuff at Zanies in Vernon Hills). He’s from the area and he’s a stand-up comic. He was part of Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy tour. He had a Comedy Central Special on Friday night that I taped – so that entertained me as I laid low Saturday. Check out his website www.sebastianlive.com . He’s so funny!
I must admit I do have a small crush on him. Now, I’m not looking to date him or anything so don’t get all crazy. We are texters here and there and that’s it.
Let’s be real though, it would never work! He’s in L.A. and well, I’m me! HA! I have dated the worlds biggest jackass’ the last few years so I just don’t date! In the rare occassion that I do, I find something wrong with him (or there really is something wrong with him) so I just write him off. Work is my boyfriend. I know he relates to that. He’s has worked really hard to get where he is so when I hit my “bump in the road” he was really encouraging. Either way, he’s a good guy with a lot of talent so check hiim out!
Anyways, back on track…Sunday I worked and then met up with my girls for cocktails. Then I was off yesterday and went to a BBQ at my parents house. What a gorgeous day it turned out to be huh?
Well I hope you all had a great weekend! Here are some pics I’ve been meaning to post of my great niece Isabella! Can you believe she is going to be 7 months on the 30th! She is getting so big and is developing such a personality. She is the most awesome baby. Enjoy the pics and the rest of your day!
Talk to you later!
Smoochiz,
Bec

How sad is it that the last 2 blogs I’ve posted start with something along the lines that I’ve been slacking on keeping up with the blogs?
YAP
Alright, boo hoo, I know. But I’m doing it now so yea for me!
Hope all is well with all of you!
I have been running around like crazy (we’ll come back to what exactly that includes). PLUS, Jess is going through some babysitter issues right now, so I’ve been watching my little sweet pea (aka my great niece Isabella) here and there. Other than that things are going good.
As for the ‘crazy’ part, just getting together some things for my new job (and wrapping up the loose ends of the other place) paperwork-wise, I’ve been going to the city a lot for B96, and I’m in the beginning phases of looking for a new place to live.
I mentioned it before, but Kelly and her boyfriend Mike are getting a place together in August. I was planning on staying here solo for a little bit longer – but to be honest – I’m just ready for a fresh start somewhere else…AND I would like to get closer to work.
When you think about it – August is a long time away and a lot could change, but I HATE moving! It sucks! I hate it more than I’ve ever hated anything ever! So, I am going to sit on it for a little bit more because I don’t want to move somewhere close to where I’m at…only to move downtown 2 months later. But I am seeing what’s out there, so, we’ll see. Whatever is suppose to happen will.
Anyhow, can you believe that Memorial Day Weekend is already this weekend? Who friggin knew! Kelly asked me and Sarah to go with her to some big party she goes to every year and I was like ask me again next week…and she was like, uh yea, it’s THIS weekend freak. It’s weird to think how fast time is moving right?!
Well, that’s all I have for now! I’m watching Isabella tomorrow so I’ll do it when she’s taking a nap! (Watch her not do it now!)
PLUS – Don’t 4get American Idol ends 2night! TWO FREAKIN HOURS! Ouch! I think David Archuleta did better AND is the better singer, but I think David Cook will win because he is the more popular one. We’ll see!
Have a good day and CHECK OUT “Rebecca’s Rumors” for today – hot stuff!
XOXO,
-R

Riiiight! I’ve been a bit of a blog slacker…but I’m still playing catch-up with my social life and people,places and things I’ve neglected for a while.
It was my friend Lindsay’s birthday this past weekend as well as my friend Fatty.
Somewhere in there I hung out with my friend Chris 007, hung out w/Kelly and went to see my friend Squint and Kelly’s boyfriend play softball.
Then of course this weekend was Mother’s day – HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY if you are a Mom! Jess was out for that on Saturday and then Sunday I was broadcasting live at the Jewel on N. Ashland downtown from 12p-5p with B96! Woo hoo!
My friend Sarah and her boyfriend just got back from New York so I’m suppose to be at her house by 6:30pm so she can tell me all about it…I’m not gonna lie though I am dragging today!
Nita just left my house. A friend of hers got married and she bought her this really nice bottle of Champagne with a glass bucket and 4 champagne flutes. Unfortunately, when checking to see if they were packed right she broke a glass! She was freaking out and showed up at my my door so we went out and bought 4 news ones to stick in there. BUT…when she came over I was right in the middle of finishing ‘Rebecca’s Rumors’ (formerly the “Hollywood Freakshow) so that had to be put on hold. (Check it out though – it’s got some good stuff in it today! The bonus is the BEST if you are a fan of Desperate Housewives)
So yea, I gotta jump in the shower still…so this won’t be the most life-changing blog you’ve ever read but it’s here right?
Don’t forget to check out Britney Spears on CBS’ “How I met your mother” tonight – love that show!
Anyways, I’m out. Promise the freakshow will be up before noon tomorrow and I also have some really sweet Isabella pics to share!
Have a great day!
XOXO,

Hello!
Hope all is well!
This will be a short blog because I am on my way to meet Nita and my sister Patty for a day of shopping! Woo hoo!
The freakshow is up and awesome so check it out at www.rebeccaortiz.com/freakshow !
What can I share with you???
I watched Isabella on Tuesday and she is so funny and out of control. I took a ton of pics -shocker (I’ll share them later)! She has one tooth now and is just pouring drool. I mean POURING drool. Here is one pic of her in her new toy:
Just as happy as can be! I love that kid.
Yesterday, I hung out with my friend Chris who I hadn’t seen in forever. We just went out for dinner and drinks and that’s pretty much it.
I’ll share more later!
Enjoy your day and check out the Freakshow! The bonus has the best pics!
XOXO,
Bec
