Where am I going?

For those of you who didn't hear, the show that I worked on at Moody Radio, Prime Time Chicago was cancelled April 30th. Steve Hiller will be staying in the Chicagoland area, but I will be moving back to Minnesota.

My job situation is uncertain right now, but I'm excited to be closer to my boyfriend, and family, who is in Minnesota.

I am working on a website, but it isn't up right now, so feel free to email me thru the blog.

Thanks so much,

The origin of the flowers

I keep getting questions about the flowers on my blog. Why did I get them? Who were they from? Why were you in Florida? The questions abound.

So, here's the story. I was in Florida on a work trip,and one day I came back to my hotel room to find the most lovely roses! It was a week before Valentines, and they were from a man I was "getting to know" in Minnesota. After a couple of months of calling and burning up frequent flier miles, we are now officially dating. Apparently the flowers worked! :)

More To Come...

I've had several people comment on the fact that I haven't been updating my blog in a while, and apparently enquiring minds want to know:

-How my trip to Ireland was?
-Who the flowers were from?
-Am I dating someone?
-Why I don't have more pictures posted
-And finally...Am I dating someone?

So, now that I know that people actually do read my blog, I'll try to be more diligent in actually updating it. Answers are coming....stay tuned! :)

A Florida Valentines Day

More Kitsch...

I will figure out how to rotate this pic...but wanted you to see this picture. Her name is Linda Miracle, and she made this dress out of McCain-Palin yard signs. Sorry Andrew..you lost your fashionista title!

If this hat doesn't scream Sarah Palin...I don't know what does?

The Night Moves On...

After basically having the whole table to myself...the press room is starting to fill up. This is my buddy Andrew from The Financial Times. He wanted to point out that he is wearing a University of Scranton hat that he picked up at a McCain Rally in Scranton! He's a fashionista!

McCain/Palin buttons and memorabilia.

Press Filing Center, starting to fill in now.

This is the garden area at the Biltmore where McCain will talk with the media pool and local Arizona media that have spent the last year traveling with him.
