For starters, I'm no longer at Kicks 104.9 in Green Bay. Aaron was accepted into the Fire Science program at MATC in Milwaukee, so we packed up and moved in with my in-laws in Oak Creek for a little while. Some people are wondering if we moved because the Packers lost to the Giants. I can honestly tell you, we still love the Packers and it will be weird not seeing Lambeau on a regular basis.<br /><br />I'm currently interviewing for a few jobs and I hope to land something soon. I swear, finding a job is a job in itself (too bad I don't get paid for it).<br /><br />Anyways, I hope this new year finds you healthy and happy. Aaron and I are so happy to be close to family again. It was sad to say goodbye to our friends in Green Bay, but we're only 2 hours away and I know we'll be back up for training camp in the summer.Holly Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09555968592342602561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935080645329454388.post-38942455991438572502008-01-02T06:19:00.000-08:002008-01-02T06:23:35.688-08:00Go Pack Go!<a href="http://www.faniq.com/images/logo/93/5893-1.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.faniq.com/images/logo/93/5893-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Are you ready for the playoffs? One of the biggest things I love about living in Green Bay is the Packers and nothing beats the excitement of the playoffs. Plus, the Packers are hosting a free playoff pep rally at Lambeau on January 11th. Tickets will be available this Friday at the Packers' ticket office. Hopefully I'll see you in line this Friday. </div>Holly Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09555968592342602561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935080645329454388.post-39998596626010331942007-12-31T07:04:00.000-08:002007-12-31T07:07:17.997-08:00Get Ready To PartyJoin me tonight for the Kicks 104.9 New Year's Eve Bash at Purcell's Lounge inside the Radisson.

Our families will be celebrating Thanksgiving in Milwaukee and as much as I'm excited to see all of them and eat a lot of really good food, I'm dreading the driving.<br /><br />It seems the weather is changing everyday. At first I heard they were calling for snow, then I heard it would be freezing rain and now it looks like it will just be showers with mild temperatures. Either way, I'm selfish and I just want it to be dry and have some clouds to keep the sun out of my eyes.<br /><br />Wherever you're headed this Thanksgiving just know I'm thankful for you this year because our morning show wouldn't be what it is, if it weren't for wonderful listeners like you!Holly Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09555968592342602561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935080645329454388.post-27645097575456918282007-11-15T07:41:00.000-08:002007-11-15T07:48:09.966-08:00Reba's Praline Sweet Potato Casserole<div>Just in time for Thanksgiving, this is Reba's favorite recipe to make and let me tell you it's good!</div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong> </div><div><strong>Reba’s Praline Sweet Potato Casserole. </strong></div><br /><div></div><div>1 40 oz can of sweet potatoes, drained.<br />1/3 c. sugar<br />2 T. butter<br />1 t. vanilla<br />½ t. cinnamon<br />¼ t. salt<br />2 eggs<br /><br /><br />Topping:<br /><br />¾ c. packed brown sugar<br />¼ c. chopped pecans<br />3 T. flour<br />2 T. butter<br /><br />Oven to 350.

Over the weekend my family was meeting me in Fond du Lac before heading west to my Grandma's house. They were running late and I decided to "browse" the aisles at Wal-Mart.<br /><br />Big mistake. An hour and a half later I ended up buying 4 different kinds of Christmas wrapping paper, Christmas cards, 2 CDs, 3 pairs of socks, a necklace and a purse...and I can tell you I didn't need any of it.<br /><br />What I can say, is that time really flies when you're having fun!Holly Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09555968592342602561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935080645329454388.post-51833781166997732562007-11-06T16:46:00.000-08:002007-11-06T16:53:23.842-08:00Garth<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.gactv.com/GAC/2006/05/18/garthrbooks1_sm_e.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://img.gactv.com/GAC/2006/05/18/garthrbooks1_sm_e.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The wait is over.

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.

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. <br /><br />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.Holly Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09555968592342602561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935080645329454388.post-17182718281571594572007-10-10T09:02:00.000-07:002007-10-10T09:07:43.750-07:00Favre-alicious<a href="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/PHO/AAGU100~Brett-Favre-Last-Game-of-2005-Season-Posters.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/PHO/AAGU100~Brett-Favre-Last-Game-of-2005-Season-Posters.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>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!</div>Holly Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09555968592342602561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935080645329454388.post-60122994773666290552007-10-08T12:22:00.000-07:002007-10-08T12:25:14.270-07:00Albino pumpkins<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2364863/2/istockphoto_2364863_white_albino_pumpkins.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/2364863/2/istockphoto_2364863_white_albino_pumpkins.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />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.<br /><br />I'm so excited, except I have to find out where the heck they bought one!Holly Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09555968592342602561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935080645329454388.post-10473710625515520482007-10-04T04:27:00.001-07:002007-10-04T04:29:20.211-07:00Click for Cans<a href="http://www.hometownfavorites.com/images/items/Large/HFSO359.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.hometownfavorites.com/images/items/Large/HFSO359.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The Campbell's Chunky soup Click for Cans campaign has started again and the Packers are in the lead, but they need your clicks to stay there.

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.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>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! </div>Holly Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09555968592342602561noreply@blogger.com0
