2,109 steps...Movie night...What did you say?!?!...R.I.P.

Hello and Happy Monday, gang!
Things have been nutty in my world lately. Here are some highlights...

2,109 Steps

I hope you'll tune in Tuesday night at 10 to see the story I'm putting together with the help of photojournalists Brandon McCauley and Randy Schumacher. It features Mark Block and Mike Boone and our hope is that is leaves you feeling amazed and inspired. Here's a clue about where we went to shoot the story... we climbed one of the tallest buildings in the world.



Movie night

Saturday night Michael and I had a date with our neices Olivia and Ella. We had pizza and watched "Cars 2" and had a ball.


Here Olivia is with her camera - she actually takes some really great photos - way better than my phone!


What did you say?!?!?

A viewer sent in this picture last week with the caption "Did Bachman let one rip?" OK - that's gross, but the picture is funny. The reason JB looks so tickled and I look so disgusted is because of what he was saying about my Huskers. It was after they lost to Northwestern. Ugh.

R.I.P.

I did some cleaning around my desk a few weeks ago and finally pitched this ancient rolodex. I've had it since I was a reporter/photographer at Channel 5 and it was hard to get rid of it. I did rummage through it before putting it in the circular file and found some of Michael's old business cards - it was a nice little walk down memory lane.

Gotta run - have a great week!

Happy (belated) Halloween!

Hello and Happy TUESDAY, everyone!

I am tardy posting again this week.... my motto lately seems to be, "Better late, than never!"

I love Halloween. Michael and I used to throw costume parties but haven't for several years and this year we didn't even dress up! What are some of the best costumes you saw this year? Do you have a memory of a costume you've worn that still ranks as your favorite? I loved the year that we dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf, mostly because Michael was in this huge furry outfit that was basically like giant footie pajamas. I think it snowed that year, but he was sweating all night... this probably DOESN'T rank as his favorite costume.


Our nieces and second cousin were decked out on Sunday ... how cute are Olivia, Samantha and Ella? They had a ball on Beggar's Night and came home with LOTS of loot.


Here's how some of the gals at the Y looked Monday morning. My favorite is Molly - dressed as a 1980s aerobics instructor. I stole the image below from her facebook page so you can get the full effect.



Sonya and I hope you'll tune in tonight at 5 - you'll meet the guys in this picture:

Mario, Nick and John play wheelchair basketball every week thanks to Adaptive Sports Iowa. They invited us to give their sport a try. We were so impressed, we've decided to devote all of our November workouts to people with disabilities. for more information on ASI check out http://iowasportsfoundation.org/Sports/AdaptiveSportsIowa.aspx

Finally, tonight at ten we're bringing you a 13 Cares about a Central Iowa family that's working through grief by helping others. They're doing it with the furry members of the family and I think it's a story every animal lover will appreciate.

Enjoy the rest of your week!
