This brought a tear to my eye this morning. This little girl gets her birthday wish!

Birthday:
October 28th
Favorite Foods:
Any veggies, pizza and even though I'm a vegetarian, every once in a while, I order the biggest slab of prime rib on the menu (medium rare)
Things I Hate:
Rude people, uncomfortable shoes and wet lettuce (I'm a big salad person and if the lettuce hasn't been properly dried, it makes the dressing watered down and the entire salad gets soggy..GROSS!)
Favorite Bars:
I don't have a favorite, but I do enjoy a good dive bar. Pool tables and dart boards are always a plus, oh- and the music should never be too loud unless there's a live band or it's a bar with a dance floor. I mean, seriously, why should we have to listen to some crappy old song blaring over the speakers when all I really want to do is hear the the conversation at the table. Then again I do wear headphones everyday for work, so my hearing is probably less then fabulous.
Favorite Country Artists:
Gary Allan. I saw him before I was working in country music, so I didn't really want to go. Turns out the people who dragged me in ended up wanting to leave early, but I was loving the music so much, I stayed at the concert by myself. It was awesome! Also, I'd like to add Brad Paisley and Sugarland to the list...LOVE THEM!
Something You Might Not Know About Me:
Growing up in International Falls, MN, my family actually lived on an island in the summer. It's true. There was no TV, which is why I fell in love with radio, I listened non-stop. We had to take a boat across the lake everytime we wanted to go into town. It was a great way to spend the summers, that is, until I started caring about what my hair looked like- all summer I sported the "wind blown" look! To this day I can make a bonnet/wind protector helmet out of any camouflage coat, pants or vest you can throw at me.
Confession:
I'm a speed walker. For anyone who doesn't know what that REALLY is, you're probably saying "so what"? But for those who've witnessed how truly idiotic it looks, let's just say, "you know what I'm talking about". I get laughed at and taunted on a daily basis.

Why Does This Happen?
Last night, I was watching “30 Rock” in syndication. Two back-to-back episodes air each night. The first had a “To Be Continued” at the end and even though I was a little tired, I decided to watch the second show to see what happens. The problem- whoever picks the episodes decided not to run them in order! Instead of having them lined up so you can actually see what happens, nothing. I get that most syndicated shows don’t run straight through and follow along from season to season but when there’s an option to run the last part of a two-part sitcom, can’t you put them together??
Okay, I’m done ranting.

CHUCK WICKS: Anything Blake Can Do...
Chuck Wicks's notorious stand-off with Blake Shelton has gotten new life courtesy of Collegehumor.com's parody of The Voice. Chuck acts as a "special guest judge," along with Lisa Loeb, Bobby Brackins and Mike Catherwood, in a mock reality show. But instead of just facing away from the competitors, he has to judge a singing competition while in complete sensory deprivation.
Chuck says, "I don't take myself seriously at all, so it was a no brainer when College Humor asked me to be part of this, especially when Blake Shelton is involved."

FERRIS BUELLER SUPER BOWL AD REVEALED
You don't have to wait till Super Bowl Sunday to see that much-hyped Ferris Bueller commercial. After it was revealed that Honda was behind the spot, the car company released the full version.
On YouTube, Honda says, "To celebrate the launch of the all-new 2012 CR-V, Honda brought Ferris Bueller's Day Off back in a big game commercial. We cast Matthew Broderick as himself, skipping out on a day of acting work and living it up in his all-new CR-V. Relive movie history with Honda's fresh twist and wonderful homage to this '80s classic."
The company says it "hid over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial."
Broderick won't be the only celeb with a Super Bowl car commercial -- Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld have teamed up to hawk Acura's new NSX hybrid. The Super Bowl takes place February 5th.
