Halloween

I love Halloween!

Aaron and I finally carved our pumpkins last night while we watched 'It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown'. What's even more exciting is that this year I bought Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for the trick or treaters, which means we get to eat the leftover candy.

One of my favorite Halloween memories was the year I dressed up as a hot dog and won $50 in a costume contest. The costume looked goofy, but the cash prize made it well worth it!

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

I found this recipe the other night on the Hellman's website and it was amazing. What's even better is that it doesn't take a long time to make.

Cook Time: 20 Minute(s)

California

I'm a little distracted today because I'm thinking of my brother in-law and his wife out in San Diego and how they're dealing with the wild fires. Aaron talked to him yesterday and they're one level below evacuation. Now it's just a waiting game. It's strange to have to think about grabbing a few personal items and leaving the rest behind. Hopefully, they won't get to that point, but it's still a scary thought and I can't stop thinking about them today.

Michael's Over the Hill

Today Michael turns 40! He's pretty embarrassed about it, so feel free to call the station anytime at 444-1049 to harrass him! Whether he's 40 or not, it's the shaved head that makes him look so young! Happy Birthday Buddy!

Carrie's New Man?

Does Carrie Underwood have a new man in her life? Word on the street is that she's been seen kissing 'Gossip Girl' TV star Chace Crawford (pictured). Maybe he'll be her date at this year's CMA Awards? Either way, I hope he's listened to the words of her song "Before He Cheats" otherwise he'll end up with a Louisville Slugger to both headlights.

Annoying co-workers

Since it's a cold, rainy Monday we figured this mornig was the best day to vent about annoying co-workers. One of the phone calls was a woman upset with co-workers who steal items off her desk. Other people can stand it when co-workers jam the printer and don't fix it. And the most common phone call this morning was from people upset about co-workers who don't clean up after themselves in the break room.

We have the same problem here in our break room and we put up a sign that reads "The maid died, clean up after yourself" and it's actually worked.

Favre-alicious

Happy Birthday to #4 Brett Favre! He turns 38 years-old today and in my opinion he's still playing like he's 18 and he's never looked better! Brett has a lot to celebrate today and even though they lost on Sunday I believe the Pack will come back and win this Sunday against the Redskins...at least I hope so, cause I'm going to the game and it's never fun if they lose!

Albino pumpkins

I finally have an Albino pumpkin. I've seen these white pumpkins on other people's porches and I couldn't seem to find them anywhere. But this morning, I came into work and there was a giant white pumpkin sitting there with my name on it! Our friends Joe and Gloria from Algoma were in Green Bay and were nice enough to drop one off.

I'm so excited, except I have to find out where the heck they bought one!

The Mom Song

This song is dedicated to all the parents out there. This woman gets it...click here to see it!

Favre

Well, he did it. Brett Favre beat Dan Marino's record for most touchdown passes thrown. I was happy that the Minnesota fans gave him a standing ovation, because if anyone deserves it, it's Brett Favre.

Even after all these years, it's still so much fun watching him play. He's like a little kid out there. And I'll never forgetting interviewing his mom, Bonita, and her telling us that her favorite Brett football moment was the Oakland game after his dad passed away. Brett is a true leader, who's overcome a lot in the last few years and it's refreshing to see him so happy again and I feel so priviledged to be in Green Bay at such an exciting time for the Packers!
