Bubbles, Frisbees, Lemon Pie Ice Cream & Doggies

I've been anchoring the morning show for two months now-- and what an adventure its been! My job duties have changed drastically and so has my sleep schedule!

I've gone from knocking on murder suspect's doors to chasing toads and blowing bubbles! Life has changed dramatically. I'm in bed between 7 and 8 pm. The alarm goes off at 2:15 a.m and coffee is my new best friend. 

While I desperately miss telling people's stories every day, I wouldn't change any of THIS. I feel honored and privileged to have been given this new opportunity. My goal is to make this show the best it can be.

The bright side is-- I now have time to thoroughly enjoy my job! Before, I was so busy rushing to make a story deadline-- fun moments didn't come as often as I'd like.  Now, every day I laugh. Every day--I smile. Every day-- I am so thankful for my hilarious spontaneous new co-workers.

After today's show, my producers Martha and Stephen whipped out bubbles and a frisbee. I admit-- I got giddy like a 5-year-old girl. We chowed down on lemon pie ice cream and tossed around a beach ball. For five minutes-- were were kids again.

Then, sweet 7-year-old Katie came to visit. She's one of our producer's daughters. She was so sweet and drew me a doggie picture. These days, it's the small things that make me smile.
