How Did I Get Here?

Morph-tastic!

Who the heck is Camilla Belle?

I love that Jon's George Clooney.
Tammy, they also had him matched with Becks.

I Killed Flappie!!

Twice in one week.
I guess it's hard enough taking care of my family.
I can't care for a widget, too.

Well... at least with flappies, you can always bring them back to life...
and with none of the pesky "coming back evil" thing the characters in Pet Sematary had to deal with, either.

A Good 5 Seconds of Entertainment

Or, if you play it 3 times in a row... that's a whole 15 seconds!!
(This is as complex I get with math. There's a reason I write for a living)

This video had me cracking up today - came home and showed Connor - now he keeps asking me to play it over and over... and then re-enacts it. (and turn up your volume)

As a Mother, I Should be Offended...

But this is cracking me up:

Will Ferrel vs. "The Landlord"
And the landlord is a fiesty little toddler.
Tammy, this could be Emma ;)
I KID!!

a little quiz on who's more famous.
Read it on the pop candy blog during lunch today.
Went to website.
Started quiz.
My best streak?
27 in a row.
But give me a minute without work breathing down my neck, and I bet I could do waaaaaaaaaay better.

What's your best streak?

Who Me?

The sweet sweet Kristina tagged me and a bunch of my 10tv girlies... 7 things you may not know about me... so here we go.......

1. I love rainy Sundays. I actually watch the 5 day forecast all week, and hope for rain on Sunday, so I don't feel guilty about staying inside in my pjs. (I think I got that from my mom- I loved days when it was rainy and she would say "let's go home, get on our pjs and relax").

2. I despise it when I have a show following a sporting event, because I get these questions constantly: "Missy, what time's your show hitting?", "Hey Missy, do you think we'll go on on-time?", "Missy, are we REALLY going to have a show, or is this game going to run over?"  OK people. Let's get this straight. I have no crystal ball. I don't know if the game's going to go into overtime... or if the teams are going to use all of their remaining time outs, I don't know how long the announcers are going to take to wrap up the game... I DON'T KNOW. So stop asking. (This rant brought to you by the NCAA tournament).

3. Once upon a time, I took accordian lessons. Yes. I did. It's a very faint memory to me now... and I have no idea why I even started. I should ask my mom that.

4. When I was in high school, I wanted to be a DJ... but I couldn't figure out how to go to college for that... so I chose broadcast journalism as a way to get into radio. Let's stop and see how that turned out. I'm not a DJ... I'm a news producer.... hmmmmmmm. I did get a job offer to DJ, but turned it down... apparently I was bitten by the news bug at that point.

5. I am slightly obsessed with eyebrows. It's one thing I notice first off about people, and I love it when I get compliments on mine. I think it stems from my fear of becoming an old, hairy, greek woman. God bless waxing.

6. I can't eat foods with weird textures (ok, I know some of you know this about me all too well). Sushi is slippery, shrimp "pops", tapioca is just plain icky. I also can't dish out mayo... eeeewww... it's just too jiggly.

7. I talk in my sleep. Now I KNOW only my family knows this one. Jon thinks it's hilarious. I laugh out loud, yell, talk in nonsensical ways... my sisters love to tell the story about the night I was talking about "talking statues"... they started asking me questions "do YOU have a talking statue, Missy?... I did, but it broke." Apparently, it's hereditary. Last week, Jon and I heard Connor giggling in his sleep, then he yelled out "You are a goofball!!".

Now to the "Who Me?"

Wednesday night, while I was home tending to a sick Connor, at work a staff meeting was taking place. My boss called me and told me they were going to make an announcement at the meeting and she wanted to call me when they got to it... ummm ok. I was quite perplexed... but said sure, call me back.

About 45 minutes pass by and my cell phone rings. It was Karen again, calling to tell me they were handing out the station's "DeeBee Awards"... and I had won best producer. That totally threw me. The awards are given out yearly, the newsroom votes on categories like best anchor, editor, photographer, etc... and my peers chose me for my calm under pressure, attitude and the fact that I'm "smart"... their words, not mine. I know I'm not smart ;)

Now I won't make Jon kiss my award, like Chris makes Gretchen, although it is tempting....

So to my newsroom friends who read this blog, THANK YOU. It really warms my heart to know you think of me this way. And I am just tickled to follow in Tammy's footsteps ;)

What Color are You?

I saw this on Miss Chris's blog earlier this week, and quickly sent it off to all the girls I work with. Tonight, I made Jon take the quiz at thecolorcode.com... guess what color he is?

Congratulations. You are BLUE. BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY. They seek to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated. Everything they do is quality-based. They are loyal friends, employers, and employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to is their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and give themselves freely in order to nurture others' lives.

BLUES have distinct preferences and have the most controlling personality. Their personal code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy meaningful moments in conversation as well as paying close attention to special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, and analytical; but can also be self-righteous, worry-prone, and moody. They are "sainted pit-bulls" who never let go of something or someone, once they are committed. When you deal with a BLUE, be sincere and make a genuine effort to understand and appreciate them.

Go figure.
I had him pegged for a white.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
What about me, you say?

Congratulations. You are YELLOW. YELLOWS are motivated by FUN. They are inviting and embrace life as a party that they're hosting. They love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable. They are highly persuasive and seek instant gratification. YELLOWS need to be adored and praised. While YELLOWS are carefree, they are sensitive and highly alert to others' agendas to control them. YELLOWS typically carry within themselves the gift of a good heart.

YELLOWS need to look good socially, and friendships command a high priority in their lives. YELLOWS are happy, articulate, engaging of others and crave adventure. Easily distracted, they can never sit still for long. They embrace each day in the "present tense" and choose people who, like themselves, enjoy a curious nature. YELLOWS are charismatic, spontaneous, and positive; but can also be irresponsible, obnoxious, and forgetful. When others interact with you, as a YELLOW you respond to them best if they take a positive, upbeat approach and promote light-hearted, creative, and fun interactions with you.

Motivated by FUN?
Me?
naaaahhh ;)

So, what's YOUR color?

Thank God for Justin Timberlake

Ok... did you see Saturday Night Live this weekend? I did not. HOWEVER... I TiVoed it... and while my sister, Tracy, was over Sunday for Connor's birthday, she told me about this digital short. Oh my gosh... it's just about the funniest SNL skit in recent history.

Gotta love the bad color-me-badd haircuts and dancing. Not to mention the "instructions".

Weirdo? Why Yes, I am

Crazy lady Lynne tagged me... a loooong looooong time ago.
But I have been such a bad blogger... I didn't realize it. Sorry Lynne!
So let me get started here.

Tell 5 weird things about you or your pet, then tag five people.

1. I don't eat shrimp or sushi. It's not a taste thing... it's a texture thing.

2. I judge other women by the state of their pedicure. Shallow.. but true. And it really hurts me when someone I L-O-V-E has gnarley looking tootsies.

3. I have a regular whine at work.. it's been dubbed "The Cryfecta"... It goes like this: "I'm cold... I'm tired... I'm hungry."  If I say I'm cold... undoubtedly someone will ask: "Are you tired and hungry, too?"

4.  I get in food ruts. I can eat the same thing every day... for weeks... and have no problem with it.

5. I'm obsessed with eyebrows. So much so... that it's one of the first things I notice on people... so much so... that I will actually take the tweezers to Jon's if I see a stray hair. (Thank God he's patient with me!)

Those are pretty lame weird things... hmmm... and it took me a long time to come up with them. Anyone else have one to offer? Because I don't think I'm weird AT ALL.

Ok... five people I'm tagging. Work girls with blogs. Gretchen, Tammy, and Gomez (Gomez, why don't I have your blog address???)  that's it... I'm ending it at 3. :)

This One Goes Out To...

My sister, Tina, and her best friend, Jessica.
This totally makes me think of you two... not because you're white & nerdy... NOT IN THE LEAST. Just because I know you two LOVE Chamillionaire's "Ridin".

So enjoy, Weird Al's video, "White & Nerdy" :)

I tried to post this the other night, and it got yanked from youtube. We'll see how long it sticks around this time.
