CURRENT WEATHER: CLOUDY/SCATTERED FLURRIES/WINDY 32*
OK so I was listening to my local radio station HOT 99.5 tonight and they were playing the regular Top 40 stuff they always do, and then at 10PM they just started carrying a new national radio show called "Dawson Mcallister Live". Dawson is a therapist that takes phone calls from guys and girls 25 and under, so I was listening and OMG! talk about crazy. I mean there are a lot of troubled teens. I feel so sorry for them. I mean there are 14 year old girls on there talking about getting raped and pregnant, and then giving away the baby, and guys and girls talking about being in drug and suicide clinics. Wow. I have always known that I have been fortunate, but after a few minutes of this show... it just made me that much more thankful for my life that I have.

NYC
Current Weather: Clear 50*
So I touched on this in the post below but lets get into it in full today. So Saturday Jan 20 my mom and I went to NYC because on Monday we were going to see Rachael Ray. So we get there and we use my card to reserve the room or whatever. So that was good... btw we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Timesquare. So we get up to our room which was 1123 and we LOVED IT! Nice beds, flatscreen TV great view and yatta yatta yatta. So anywho, we then go out and eat at one of our favs in Manhattan, "Bubba Gumps". I love that place. So after we leave there we get back to the room at around midnight. I pass out because I am EXHAUSTED! So I wake up the next day having nothing to do... I can actually sleep in! LOL. So when we get ready to walk around we decide to find out where Rachael Ray's studio is so we don;t get lost on Monday, because the show audience is a first come first serve basis. So we find it an freeze our butts off! I mean it is FRIGID out the entire trip. So we walk around all day, nothing special. We then go and eat at some place my mom saw Rachael Ray eat on her show called "The Eatery". It was SOOOOOO crowded! I mean like a slaughter house crowded, lol. No I don;t know if that means really crowded or not but I thought it went well so I said it, lol. Soooo then we go to Macy's, you know how they have the Macy's parade in NYC every year, yeah that Macy's. It was ok. Whatever. So then we get back to our room and the manager comes knocking at our door. He says that they need to move us because that room needs to be worked on. So for making us move they said the hotel would treat us both to dinner in the attached fancy restaraunt. We were like "cool". So we moved to room 1203 i think... or something like that. Anyway it sucked! So my mom went down and complained and they moved us to 823, it was exactly 3 floors down from our first room, it was just as perfect. So then we ate at the restaraunt which was OK. So the next day (Monday) was the best. We get up and get ready for Rachael Ray and it said that they would let the audience in at 2:30 PM so we leave at 1:00 and we get there at 1:15 and there were like 25-35 people ahead of us. So we wait in the freezing cold and wait and wait and wait and all of a sudden a women with headphones on and a tablet walks up and down the line pulling people out of line. WHAT!?!? I was ticked, however I found out later that these were people that were turned away before so then I was OK. So they start letting us in at 2:45 and then we get in do security check, wait in an audience holding room for 20 mins and then get let into the studio. And that's the cool part. It was like all fake walls and what not and a HECK of a lot smaller than it looks on TV. I mean it was cool. All the cameras and mics and oh so cool. So they had a guy come out and he's comedian and he got us pumped. So then he said ok we are gonna do some pre-recording. And what it was, was they had us clap loud and crazy like the best thing in the world just happened, and they recorded it. Then they did the same thing for a mild, calm clap. They said that they would edit it into the show when they needed it. So then Rachael came out and immediately started the show. And everytime they went to commercial people came rushing over to her and they did her hair and make-up and went over lines. And us audience were dancing and singing to the music they playde during commercial, lol, it was so fun. So it was cool. At the end one of the cameras were right in my face so I think I have a close-up at the end, that would be cool to be on TV on the number 1 viewed daytime show! It airs next week. So excited. So then after that we left and it was snowing and cold!! We walk around and eat at Olive Garden, go shopping, I spend money and then we go to M&M World and Ben and Jerry's. We went back to the room and sleep. We wake up and go to check out and find out that the hotel charded my card EVERYTIME THEY MOVED US! Big mistake. It was like almost $2500 of wrong charges on my account! So we got that straightened out fast, and therefore got yet another free meal at the restaraunt, lol. So after we eat dor free again at this high priced restaraunt we walk around more and then go home.

COLD!
15* 
Weather at Time of Post
OMG! It is so freaking cold out there! Shivering, bone chilling cold! So I went to The Rachael Ray show in NYC and we were there in the Big Apple from Saturday night the 20th til Tuesday afternoon the 23rd. We walked around and it was brutally cold up there. I mean not much more than here, but they have all the buildings which act like windtunnels so it just made it feel worse. So anyway we get home and by then I was done complaining that we had no winter yet and no snow or cold weather... lol. So then I get home and on Thursday while at work we had snow squalls... so cool. It would be sunny, then get really dark and gray and then POUR SNOW! It was sweet. Did that a few times. Then the last one of the day came at 7:30 PM and it was like a BLIZZARD! Windy and heavy snow instantly covered the highway as we were driving. Very cool. That was the actual cold front passing over. And then the bottom dropped out! Take a look at the temperatures as I type this! TOOOOO COLD! I am the little red dot under Annapolis.

This is what it actually feels like

However, I have realized that when it comes to work, I pretty much am like everyone else... I wish i didn't have to do it. But that's life. So DEAL WITH IT!
