Vacation

Well... they said it might happen, and mights grow on chickens (what I was always told)... but I'm on vacation, on Day #2.... it's 10:20AM... and I'm still getting up early, but trying to sleep in some. Dunno... it's that 'internal clock' I can't change. Well, we have a super-exciting day planned today of sitting around, and maybe going to go see Mom for Christmas! I'm settling into my first cup of coffee for the day... so for now... peace out, and keep it between the ditches, and have a Merry! The party animal is going to get some more ZZZZ's!

Picking up the pieces...

Well before we went to Uncle Buck's house, I made a trip to Illinois (el-uh-noise) to see some other family. Before you venture out to see your yankee kin, prepare yourself! I must say, Thanksgiving is NOT one of my favorite holidays, and I really can't stand seeing my extended family, much less my own family. HAHA ! One thing is for certain tho, thank God that you have a home of your own you can always go to. We weren't going for very long, but it only takes minutes being gone out of state before the homesick mentality sinks in! Yankees tend to scare me.
Thanks to Uncle Buck, I don't think I could have made it through the day yesterday. Buck was the highlight of the night. Cecilia, my lovely cousin/ex wife three-times removed/sister, was gettin' lit, and yes, let's just say things got a little crazy... I have photos! We call CT the 'cat lady' because of her 50 cats she keeps locked up in her attic. The one she calls Jim'Bo (I like to call him Marvo), at any rate, he's the 'lion king' of all the females in the house, and well, she got a little too lit and stuffed the ol boy in the beer box.... said she had an idea for a new pet carrier. Personally, I think she carried the 'idea' a little too far...

Well, she wasn't the only one gettin' her drink on! I told her not to, but when she started feeding a brew to her prized kitty Fluffy, it was on. Now, I don't personally like cats, but this was absolutely insane! Before I knew it, Fluffy was sitting on the couch watching Dirty Jobs, sauced beyond comprehension. I had to put my foot down. I yelled, "Hey you rednecks! It's time to hit the bar!" I wanted to go check out one of our local, respectable pubs, but Uncle Buck, in all his fruty-ness, said "It's the Cursive Q tonight, or I'm walkin' out on the porch nek-kid in front of all of deez naybors!!!" I just couldn't imagine what more the night would hold for us. The more I think about it, I want to believe that we had a great Thanksgiving day... and night. Uncle Buck, for the most part, kept to himself, well, most of the night anyway. CT, being her regular self, danced the night away, and as for myself, did the usual thing when we go out... babysit our wonderful Uncle Buck. I do have to admit, I've never seen pink look so good on a dude, but he makes it look great! Guess that's why we love him, because he is who he is. :oP

Oh, what dysfunctional families we have! It has to leave you thinking both the good and the bad. I'm usually the one left picking up the pieces, trying to figure out, "Was I adopted? Is this really my family? What if the pilgrims shot a cat instead of a turkey? What is going to happen to Fluffy? Will Marvo and Fluffy have kittens? Will Uncle Buck ever get down from the bar tonight? When is it my turn for the spotlight? I want to play the Golden Boy for awhile! Will CT ever forgive me for that day I hit her with the baseball bat? For that matter... will she forgive me for that black eye I gave her Wednesday? Does CT enjoy this sibling brutality??? And finally... the question that eludes us all: Why can't we all just get along?"

Is your family this bad?

Hey!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Brian and I ventured to our crazy Uncle Buck's house for some old-fashioned hillbilly fun. As the night went on good ol' Uncle Buck put on one of Mom's dresses and wanted to party. Brian, trying to diffuse the situation, was the babysitter and followed Uncle Buck to the Cursive Q. Thank goodness for Betsy(the manager)!!!!! Uncle Buck closed the place down and danced the night away....in Mom's pink paisley dress...poor Brian. Betsy closed the Cursive Q at 10...Uncle Buck's never been out past 8 p.m.

Holidays at out house have always been a little out of sorts.......anyone relate??? It was great all the same. Hope yours was fun, too!!!

THIS MAKES ME MAD!

Morning madness

I've never been a morning person....this is beginning to change. I like to think of it as getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom except I drive 15 miles to the station. Thank God for Depends!

Radio has been a central part of my life for over 20 years. I think I've had every job in the business but working with Brian on Eagle mornings has been the highlight of my career. It's always been my dream to co-host a morning show from the ground up that's both fun and informative.

This is the most fun I've had and gotten paid EVER!!!
