Does your car have a turn signal?

Seriously, I'm starting to believe that cars in Knoxville don't come equipped with turn signals. It's like some sick joke...the factories put the handle on your steering wheel, put the lights on the back of the car, but fail to give you the ability to use your turn signal. That HAS to be it because there is no way that with the number of people that live in the Knoxville area, 80% of them do not know how to use a turn signal. It's just impossible. Of course, the liberals didn't think it was possible for George W. Bush to be elected President, either...that's an entirely different blog.

How many times do I have to get cut off before some idiot, that obviously didn't pay the $50 fee (or whatever it is now) to take Driver's Ed, hits me or causes someone to have an accident? Tailgating is another pet peeve of mine. I'm not talking about inserting orange food coloring into your blood stream and seeing how many beers you can bong. I'm talking about cars riding your a** so closely, that you can tell if the driver is wearing contact lenses or not. What is the point? If I am in your way, pass me! I'm not one of those people that ignore lane etiquette by driving under the speed limit in the fast lane, either. If I wanted you to ride with me, I would have invited you, but since I didn't, take the hint when I extend to you my *finger* and yell "get off my a**!". I don't take this sort of action all the time, but it's sort of enjoyable to make someone realize what a jerk they're being since they aren't aware because they're too busy talking on their cell phone while putting on make up, eating and fixing their hair at the same time. Not to mention they're also driving their vehicle on I-40 through the construction zone.

Please feel free to rant with me...

It's been awhile...

As Aaron Lewis says, it's been awhile. We've been SUPER busy!! Just got Feast with the Beasts out of the way. It was delicious, of course! :) Between the cocktail shrimp from Red Lobster and the chocolate strawberries from the Melting Pot, I was a pretty happy girl. I didn't even care that it was raining! And if you know me, it's not easy for me to not notice my hair getting wet.

So much has been going on! Not only with work, but in G's world, too. We have Boomsday coming up in less than 2 weeks! I can't believe it's that time already. Check out the website - www.thepoint931.com/Boomsday.htm. Boomsday is 3 entire days this year!! Of course, 93 POINT 1 will be on-site for the BEST day, Sunday! It's the fireworks show, how Boomsday started. This year will be better than ever, so I hope to see you on Neyland Drive, Sept. 3rd! We have some other big events coming up this fall, too, but I won't tell you about those until later.

At the homestead...Harley and I are moving in together next month. He's buying his first place, so we're both very excited. Napoleon the cat will finally have stairs to run up and down, so I know he'll love it. The unfortunate part is, we have to get him declawed. :( The guy Harley is buying from is leaving some of his furniture, which is practically brand new, along with brand new carpet. I feel so bad for Napoleon, but at least the scars on my arms will start to fade. He's a playful little thing. :)

Now, on to more important things...like, what should I have for lunch today? And oh my gosh - did you see Kevin Federline's performance on the Teen Choice Awards last night?? Could he be anymore lame?! Britney should have been embarrassed to introduce that lousy excuse for a human being. According to K-Fed, I guess I'm a "hater". I really don't envy that he's in another tax bracket. When you have that much money, why would you CHOOSE to dress like that and talk about nothing in your less-than-mediocre rap songs? If you're given such an opportunity to express to the world what's on your mind, at least make sure that there is SOMETHING on your mind other than how lazy you can continue being while you live off your wife's hard work. Ugh. You might laugh that I call Britney's life "hard work", but I can't imagine that being on the road 24-7 for a number of years and constantly being followed by photographers that trash you no matter what you do is any piece of pie. K-Fed gets to have that without doing anything worthwhile. Who's rooting for Justin and Britney to make a comeback as a couple?

Sheer Cover Infomercial

Kevin's on vacation this week, so needless to say, the office is a little less interesting. He's usually calling me 4-50 times with random questions that he never ends up using on his show. Bruce is filling in for him, which means that he goes home to take a nap in the middle of the day. I sort of get the "party when your parents are gone" feeling when Bruce does mornings. :)

An update on the Sheer Cover infomercial...the production company called while I was in Milwaukee to talk about all the details. I'll be in L.A. July 26th-28th for the shoot. Apparently, 8 of us were chosen to do testimonials out of hundreds of calls/emails they received of women that were interested. Pretty cool! I'll get my hair, make up, wardrobe done and all that, so I'm really excited! Wednesday night, the production company is taking us ladies out on the town to get to know each other. We're staying at the Belamar Hotel, which is super contemporary - I love it!!!

For my part of the shoot, we'll be sitting around with Leeza Gibbons, the spokeswoman for Sheer Cover and just talking about the products and how much we like them and all that. It'll be shot on a stage in Manhattan Beach and I think it will start airing in the fall. The one that is currently airing is 30 minutes long, I believe, and has been running for at least a year. Wish me luck!!!
You can see the show schedule and learn all about Sheer Cover at http://www.sheercover.com/. It's really amazing stuff! I've never ordered anything from TV before and I'm so glad that I did.

I'll try to blog while I'm in L.A., but I'm sure I'll be pretty tired with the time change and all that. I'll be sure to write all about it and include some pictures when I get back to Knoxville.

Hope all is well!! Leave me some love, will ya?

Milwaukee pictures!

Check out some of my pictures from our trip to Milwaukee, you know...it's Algonquin for "the good land". :) We had an awesome time at Summerfest!!

That's me and two of my best friends, Paul and Michelle at Have a Nice Day Cafe, a super cool 80's themed club.

I had to post this one...yes, Have a Nice Day Cafe actually has a painting of Dolly on one of the walls. That's Harley and Paul thinking they're funny. Yeah, ok...it's kinda funny. :)

And you can't forget to do the Miller Brewery Tour!

Oh yes, the reason we went to Milwaukee...Summerfest, the World's Largest Music Festival!

You can't go to Wisconsin without at least trying on a Cheese Head!

And we got to meet Smash Mouth! They were actually extremely nice and funny. It's always hard to tell what a band will be like, but they were awesome.

Welcome!

Hey there!!

This is my first entry in my new blog and I'm kind of pumped about it. Maybe I can finally be considered "hip" in the online world. MySpace.com just doesn't cut it anymore...you have to have a separate blog, a Photobucket account so you can upload pictures, your own domain name, etc. etc. And if I think I'm behind, I can only imagine how Kevin, Bruce and Brad are doing!!! :)

So, I play softball on our station team and we won our game last night, 14-1!! We're in the tournament now and we did awesome last night. I even had a catch and tag at home (I'm the catcher), so that was really fun. It's great to be able to hang out with your co-workers outside of work, although we all work a lot. We play again tonight before I go to work, so wish us luck!

If you want to check out our My Space page, go to www.myspace.com/93point1. Add us to your friends list or sign yourself up, if you haven't already!

I'll divulge more into life, love, happenings, my Sheer Cover infomercial, etc. very soon! Thanks for listening to 93 POINT 1!
