Don't leave us!

If you live in or near Austin, Texas, watch out for this girl.
She's coming to your town.



She's ditching the cold tundra for the warm climes of the south. She's got a great new gig as a weekday main anchor and will, no doubt, fit in great.

She has really held the weekend shows together. She's incredibly hard working, is a great reporter, knows all the good deals in town, and makes killer cookies. I'm going to miss those cookies...

And who is going to lint check the boys now that she's gone?



Here's the weekend team together, one last time.



You know, Februrary would be a great time to travel down south... How much are flights to Austin?

It's Black Friday!

I bought nothing the whole day! Nothing but a cup of coffee, but that doesn't really count. I avoided the traffic, the shoppers, the typical busy shopping day story... things are good.

Have I mentioned that my station is downtown? As in, right in the thick of things downtown. As in, I sometimes load my gear onto a cart, and walk down the street to cover stories, downtown. Tonight was one of those nights. It was the first night of the Holidazzle parade, and while every other night the parade clogs up traffic around the station, makes things difficult and generally drives me crazy, tonight I did a story on it, so it was cool. The parade runs eight blocks on the Nicollet Mall, starting at 11th. I work at the corner of 11th and Nicollet. Nice location.

We've decorated for the holiday.



Good thing they started a fire. Gotta keep the hands warm.

Santa even made an appearance. I'm sure his December schedule is packed. It's nice that he could find time to see the kids on the mall in Minneapolis.



The story turned out pretty cute. Liz is a good sport and we had fun shooting it. It was her first Holidazzle experience and she said it was "magical." In fact, she said that probably 20 times over the course of the night, and I think she may be exaggerating a bit.

While you're on the website, check out the 'Good Question' story that aired tonight. Hilarious.

Turkey Day

5K!



Nothing like running 3.1 miles in the morning and stuffing yourself with turkey in the afternoon. What a great holiday.

Secrets

The past couple days I've had the opportunity to go on a really great shoot. Something completely different that I've never done before. But you're not going to hear anything about it.

It airs in a couple weeks.
I'll let you know.

Until then, Norah and Jet would like you to join them for tea.



Cream? Sugar?

Go to Target.

Buy these.

My favorite Aussie cookie has finally made it to the states.
Chris sent me a link to an article about it, I grabbed my coat and walked down to Target and slammed a couple Tim Tams within 5 minutes.



"What's a Tim Tam slammer," you ask?
Bite off both ends of the cookie and use it like a straw - suck up some tea or coffee or hot chocolate. The cookie inside dissolves and all that's left is gooey chocolate.

Life is fantastic.

Out my window

It was 75 on Monday.

I was in shorts.
