Flip flopping around

Today I’m filling in for Trisha, who is on vacation. Switching schedules is not easy! Those of you work work shifts and have to change after so many days….I tip my hat to you! You should see the looks I’m getting in the hallway….the what the heck are you doing here look. I’m having a good time and I hope your Friday is going as well and as fast as mine is!! Look forward to seeing you tonight for the 20 Outstanding Women You Should Know!

My grumpy shopping partner

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

I’m starting to notice a trend. Every time my husband and I go food shopping together he turns into this incredibly grumpy person. I really don’t know why but it starts as soon as we hit the produce dept. He will question my reasonings for getting a certain brand or a certain quantity…”Why are you getting that?….What do you need that for?” When I tell him its something that I would like, his response becomes a big sigh of “FINE”. I try to remain upbeat and positive but boy is it hard when he huffs and puffs and complains about everything. In fact it leads to many arguments throughout the store. But I have no clue why this happens! He is in an absolutely delightful mood on our way to the store. So I’ve finally come to the decision he’s not allowed to shop with me anymore. Not only will I not have someone throwing a temper tantrum but I can do the shopping soooo much quicker!! Has this ever happened to you? Do you shop with your spouse or go it alone?

I’m with Coco!

Way to go NBC executives!! Way to completely ruin the history of The Tonight Show. I can tolerate Jay Leno but I honestly will stop watching because I’m such a huge fan on Conan O’Brien’s. I hope that Conan finds another gig VERY soon! I look forward to seeing his silliness in the near future. Good Luck Coco!

It’s going to be a GREAT day!

Yes, any day that I don’t have to drive in snow and ice and I don’t have to freeze my rear end off is a GREAT DAY!!! I’m on the air until 10am then my husband and I are heading to Sidney, Ohio. A friend of ours breeds Old English Sheepdogs and we hope to be buying a pup from her next litter. We are just paying her a visit, we aren’t picking out any puppies yet. She had a new additon (sheepdog wise) at her house so we can’t wait to get on our hands and knees and play with all of her loveable bears…cause that’s what they look like! Before I get grief for buying a puppy from a breeder…..trust me I’ve beaten myself up over it as well. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog. I have always wanted another one and have been a frequent visitor to web pages that rescue OES’s. But for the life of me I can’t find one to adopt that is a least a couple of states away! I would adopt a rescue in a heartbeat! And if one becomes available we probably still will. I will NEVER buy from a pet store and I hope you never do either! I strongly support animal shelters and we have a rescued cat. After this puppy and the hang of having a dog around, we will probably add to the brood. I’ll post some pictures on my Facebook page when we get back….become a friend of mine on Facebook…just search for “Jordan Kline” and it’s with a K not a C! LOL

The dumb things just keep happening…

Yesterday I found myself in the kitchen getting ready to enjoy a left over chicken salad….it was going to be my lunch. My husband and a friend of ours were outside in the garage working on our friends truck in the cold. I thought I would be a nice person for a change and make a pot of tea and offer them a cup to keep them warm. So I set my salad on one of the burners and grabbed the tea pot and filled it up and set it on another burner. I turned on the burner then walked across the kitchen to find the tea bags. Within seconds I was hearing sizzing on the burner and I figured it was just water on the outside of the pot. UMMMM NO! I looked over and I see all this smoke and my salad on the burner FRYING!!! Did I forget to mention that it was in a plastic take out container??? So the house is filling with smoke and it smells like burnt plastic. I ran to open doors but then realized the cat would get loose so I had to shut him in the basement. Then franticly ran back through the kitchen to open the door. Then on the way back through I’m desprately looking for the remote control to the fan and put that on at full speed……then over to the living room and crank that fan to high. I stuck my head in the garage to tell them of my own stupidity and also give them some kind of warning that it smelled really bad in the house. So after I got the salad cooled down and it was cleaned up my husband told me that we need to purchase another burner…..So guess what we are going to do today???? You got it! Oh and by the way after a half hour I did remember to let the cat out of the basement!!
