39

I turn 39 tomorrow. Which I hadn’t worried about too much, until coincidentally this study came out this week. Essentially it says that people in their 40s are depressed. And it’s not just people in the U.S., researchers studied people in the 40s across the globe and found pretty much they’re in a funk. Great.
 Why? One […]

Confessions of a Suburban Woman

Lately I’m obsessed with the blog Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. She writes a blog about her life on a working ranch. I lived in a couple of ranch houses but otherwise that’s about all I know about ranching. Which is why her blog is fascinating. She lives on a working ranch! How cool is […]

Blizzard of ‘78

 Here’s mine:

Daggett with a “D”

 I am very proud of my family. But the only one who will allow me to write about them in any detail on this blog is my dog. Daggett, yeah, Daggett with a ”d.”  

 We waited a long time to get a dog. My kids were 10 and 12. In fact a bad dog attack on one of my kids […]

See the 3rd definition of phenomenon below. 
Obamenon is not a support group of people addicted […]

Modern Day Mary Richards

Many times people ask me about careers in television news. My job as an anchor is just one of dozens of television news jobs. Every single person at my station is vital to putting together a newscast. I thought I’d introduce you to some of those people. This might be especially helpful for the high schoolers with an interest in a career in television.

Classic General Hospital

From approximately 1978 until 1996 I watched General Hospital. Really I watched all the ABC soaps. The line up was Ryan’s Hope, All My Children, One to Live, and General Hospital. But General was the king of them and the only one I could see everyday due to the fact my parents enforced ridiculous rules - like you […]

Calamity Jane’s Sludge Bucket and DayPlanner

I resolved in 2007 to clean my coffee pot everyday. My coffee pot and I are very close. I love my morning coffee pot. See it makes my COFFEE. With my schedule there’s no way I could survive without java. My coffee pot has a timer and when I wake up and everyone in the […]
