September 2006 ArchivesSTOP CARDING ME! I can't take it anymore. My wallet is about to explode. Unfortunately, not because of too much money, but because of what I need to present to use my money. Cards, cards and more cards. I feel like the 3 3/8"x 2 1/8" piece of plastic has taken over my life. It all started when I was 8 years old. I thought it was cool to have a library card. At 16, it was even cooler to have a driver's license. Of course, with my ov... I love to eat. But what I love to do even more, is find great places to eat at! So, when I read my favorite bachelor's (Ross Shimabuku) blog a couple of days ago, I thought I'd try helping a friend out! It’s part of my job as 3TV's Lifestyle Reporter to find those hidden valley gems. So here are some of my NEW favorite places! Healthy and Great Meals To Go: Burgers, onion rings, and root beer, it's not exactly the feast that comes to mind when envisioning a cuisine for a queen. However that was the spread when Oprah Winfrey, the "Queen of Media" stopped in, unannounced, to Mr. D'z Diner off old route 66 in Kingman, Arizona. It's the first official week of fall and we're looking at 100 degree temperatures. Looks like another typical Arizona autumn. For many parts of the country, changing leaves signify the arrival of fall. For Arizonans, it's turning down your car air conditioner from the highest setting to the second-highest setting. Still, you can feel a change. The humidity from the monsoon is gone, our overnight temperatures have dropped in... I'm excited to be working on a new franchise called, "The Storytellers". These are in-depth stories that allow us to go beyond the headlines. There is so much going on in our society, in our world -- I believe that we need to have public discourse. I also believe that people care about what's happening, even if it doesn't directly affect their life. For three months, I followed the story of a woman named Tracy. She and her husban... Here's Some Food For Thought. ... Since I'm single and living in a bachelor pad, I'm always eating out. Yes, it's pathetic but I don't cook. Does using the microwave count? Either way, I found some awesome places to eat during my dinner break and here are my favorites: 1) Thai Rama I need your help peo... One of the most frequent question we get in the weather department is, "Why isn't my town/city on your map?" So I figured I'd try to set the record straight. First of all, we want data from ALL cities around the Valley and ALL cities/towns around the state because it improves the weather picture we can paint. We want to put your community on our maps. However, we are limited by a couple of factors. 1. Local/live temperatur... It's 1:08 a.m. and I should really be asleep considering that I have to be at work at 9 a.m.. However, I looked at my calendar and realized that it's my turn to write a blog. The question is: what could I write about that would make our azfamily.com visitors want to read? Well, I will share with you the details about my recent trip to NYC. I went with my nieces, Vanessa and Gannel, it was their first time in the Big Apple and they loved it! It... There's nothing like a home-cooked meal from Mom's kitchen. These days, I've been lucky enough to have several meals a week made by mom! Last month, my parents moved to the greater Phoenix area from California. They decided to retire here. I haven't lived in the same city as Mom and Dad in about 12 years! Now they live just five miles from me and my husband. Some may think five miles is a bit close, but it's perfect for us. ...Being a reporter is one of the coolest jobs a young woman can have. I get paid to ask nosey questions and seek the truth, not to mention access to interesting people and places deemed 'off limits' to folks without a journalist credential. But what inspires me most, is talking to regular Joe's and hearing their life stories, successes and struggles.
It's a perfect weekend to get outside! I had a fun day on the job today. I visited Cactus Shadows High School for their game day. The kids were really excited and pumped up for the big game against Cortez High. As your trusty weather forecaster, I can guarantee the weather this weekend will be absolutely beautiful. It'll be a perfect weekend to get outside. I plan to cycle this weekend from Central Phoenix out to Cave Creek (n... So I'm driving in to work, chatting with Tony Haffer from the National Weather Service in Phoenix about whether they're going to "call" the monsoon over. We've had this conversation about twenty times, it seems, over the years and it's always the same. "You guys going to call the monsoon today?" I asked. "Nah, probably not," Tony replied. "But you and I know it's over," I said. "Yeah, but you know," he ... When I say beach, I'm talking about the dunes just over the California border. I prefer going to Glamis, which is located about 50 miles south of I-10 near Blythe. I'm not sure how many of you knew this, but last year I adopted a Norwich terrier from the AZHS and named him Stevie Wonder, after my favorite singer. My mother came to visit for Christmas and fell in love with Stevie (Steven when he misbehaves). So, 2 week-ends ago, I had to fly home to Virginia Beach for the wedding of my youngest brother. Since "Uncle" Scott Pasmore was unavailable to keep Stevie and I didn't want to board him, I took him... As this is my first blog entry, please bear with me. But, it is ironic that it is my first entry because the subject of this entry is the first day of school. Now, in most of the country, the day after labor day is the traditional start of school. For those of you who've been watching 3tv for a while, you know that I have a son Jackson. He's 19 months old, and last week my wife and I had to put him in day care for the first time. ... |
