KHOU's new girl goes to her first high school football gameI've been told that you haven't truly lived until you've watched a Texas high school football game. Well, apparently, I HAVEN'T lived, because not only have I never seen a Texas game, but I've never been to any American high ...

OMG...a tropical storm and I'm not ready

Tropical Storm Edouard was my first taste of Houston's bizarre weather. I was working on Sunday, the skies were clear, and then suddenly...BAM...it was time to send out a breaking news alert because Edouard was on its way.

Edouard caught me not only unprepared at work, but at home. Even though I lived in Tampa, I was lucky that during my time there we never had a hurricane. They usually hit the other side of Florida in the Miami area. So aside, from afternoon thunderstorm (which I swear ...

Last night, I had what they say is my "official Houston welcome". Yup, that's right...my car was broken into.

The bizarre thing is I didn't even know. Someone from my apartment building told me in the elevator.

"Hey, I think your car was broken into," says my neighbor.

"No, really?"

"Yeah...little blue car. Florida plates?"

The Loop is loopy

Michelle Ponto

Man, I don't know about you, but I just can't get the whole West Loop/East Loop. And I'm not the only one. My GPS system also gets confused.

I swear, I get really close and as soon as I turn onto what I think is the loop my GPS suddenly loses track of me. Then it announces that it's "recalculating" in the snarky voice it uses whenever I don't follow the instructions.
