WGN Morning News Blog

I know, I know, I know....I have not blogged in Lord knows when!
I had a couple of weeks off from work in early August and just feel off track with the blog-thing!
When I got back to work, I just kept forgetting all about the blog...plus I knew Pat Tomasulo was happy...you know, more room for him to talk about whatever :-)

Let's see...here's what I have been up to.
The kids are great and keeping me very busy.
Max turned one three weeks ago.
Zoe turned 6 about a month and a half ago.

Max is walking and very busy...very much a little boy.
He falls all the time, bumps his head, bangs any and everything on things he should not be (...like the glass coffee table) and he's learned most kid's favorite word...NO!
He's a cutie though!!!! I wouldn't trade him in for anything.

Zoe is spelling bee champ for her 1st grade class.
She will now compete against other schools in January.
The word she won on was "CHEW".
Zoe told me her classmate, who is now the runner up, spelled it "s-h-e-w" and that when Zoe got the chance to spell it, she nailed it ..."C-H-E-W”!!!!!
GO ZOE, GO ZOE GO ZOE....I am sooooo proud of her!

As for me...I changed my hairstyle a little bit.
I'm trying to keep up with the times and get that swoop bang thing going on.
I really love my new look and I think the sometimes very critical viewing audience does too.
I haven't had any complaints yet!
I've been getting out more...
I recently went to the Mary J. Blige concert.
I can't tell you when is the last time I have been to a concert...maybe 1989 and that was to see New Edition...WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I also celebrated a friend's birthday at the Underground nightclub on Illinois recently....very nice club!
I had a ball...made me realize I have got to start getting out more!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot what it's like to get all jazzed up and step out later than my normal bedtime of 8pm, yes, even on the weekends!!!!!!!!!

Well, that's my life lately.
I'm back on board with the blog, so it won't be another two months before you hear from me again!
