"This trip has been brought to you by..."

0329_chryslerTV_100.jpgAs a child of the 70s.. the TRUE TV-centric generation in my opinion.. I always wished I could take my TV with the family on road trips. I mean, the license plate game gets really lame as you get older. And now it's a reality! We already had DVD-players and video games. Today, DaimlerChrysler announced ...

I get a lot of interesting(ish) things sent to me from people in the relationship world. This one caught my eye: http://www.gafy.com/pickuplines.htm

They're, um, t-shirts. For people who apparently want to get smacked.

This week, you just might see stars milling about downtown Dallas. Movie Stars! The AFI Dallas International Film Festival begins today. Among the honorees is actress Lauren Bacall. Actor Bill Paxton hails from Fort Worth, we hear, and he made a swing by the News 8 Victory Park studio this morning. The activities are open to anyone who wants to buy tickets to events. Here's a link to what's happening: Star Gazing in Dallas



Bananas and Bongs

They say truth is stranger than fiction, and here's proof.
On this seemingly quiet Monday in March... a day with historical significance in that it marks four years since the U.S. invaded Iraq... it's stories about bananas and bongs that caught my eye.
Seriously.
Chiquita Brands International admitted in federal court it has - for years - paid Colombian terrorists to protect its most profitable banana-growing operation. ...

jackie.jpg I hope you all had a nice weekend.

Mine was a little crazy.

On Sunday, I was sitting outside enjoying our lovely weather and reading (one of my favorite pastimes). I was deeply engrossed in my book, which happens to be about ghosts!

Suddenly, something flew by my face. Without thinking I reached up, while ...



One card to rule them all

With every other store in town pushing its loyalty/reward card, it doesn't take long to get overwhelmed by card clutter.

So I was intrigued when a friend pointed me to a do-it-yourself site where you can input various cards' barcode numbers in order to print out a single card accepted most anywhere. Laminate that bad boy and you should be good to go.

Alas, I don't even have the ti...

jackie.jpgI hope you are enjoying our new website.

Look around, there is so much great information here!

For the last week or so I have been working on two Irish dancing stories. I am really excited about this.

Once upon a time, when I was a wee lass, I took Irish step dancing classes. To be honest I wasn’t crazy abo...

I noticed all those little "PB" signs around downtown on the way into work and it looks like they are filming Prison Break downtown today in the Houston/Elm street area. All of the trailers are parked under the area by Houston/McKinney street area under the ovepasses. Didn't see any stars yet though! Darn!

Losing that first baby tooth

This is my very first blog for this fantastic new website!

I thought I would share a story from my own life.

Many of you know that I am the mother of two girls. They are my life. I love them to bits!

This morning around 8:45 a.m, I called my husband to check in and see how everyone is doing. (Since I ...



Caveman Sitcom

5:04 PM Fri, Mar 02, 2007 |
Katharyn

You know those insurance commercials with the cavemen? They get upset all the time because the company's slogan is supposedly, "It's so easy a caveman can do it." Well, apparently the concept has been so catchy that the guy who writes the commercials is going to write a sitcom based on the same idea. Too funny. Stay tuned!

Bizarre thing

Live interviews are nothing special for television news organizations. They do them all the time. People come on to discuss this or that or to promote something they're working on.
But TODAY on Channel 8's "Good Morning Texas" a live interview almost turned into a snore-fest. It wasn't because the segment was boring. Heck. It was a movie promotion!
Apparently the guest had...
