Quote of the Day:

"If the guy you’re dating doesn’t seem to be completely into you, or you feel the need to start ‘figuring him out,’ please consider the glorious thought that he might just not be that into you. And then free yourself to go find someone that is." ~Greg Behrendt

The Single Woman Says:

When a man wants to be with you, truly wants to be with you – he’ll be with you. Simple as that. There won’t be excuses, angst, drama, explanations, apologies, other women, shadiness, uncertainty, if’s, and’s or but’s about it…HE WILL BE WITH YOU.

When a man is truly feeling a woman, he will make a way. Ain’t no mountain high enough or valley low enough to keep him away. Period. End of sentence.

Sassy ladies, if a man's being shady with you, choose TODAY to cut him loose! A true diva is too busy walkin' on sunshine to chase a man in the shade!

Fox News @ 10 Pay it Forward Challenge!

When was the last time you did something nice for a perfect stranger? Before you answer that think carefully about the question. A totally selfless act for someone you have never met before and have nothing to gain anything from? Well...... what are you waiting for? :)

This week I had a special challenge for my lovely Fox News @ 10 viewers! I called it the "Pay it Forward Challenge" I asked people to go out, do something selfless and then share the story with me!

The response was overwhelming! From viewers on my facebook page to emails in my inbox I was humbled by the generosity of everyone.

Here are a few of the stories I got.

At the grocery store - an elderly man rode one of those store carts up to his car - I waited in my car until he was done unloading it, got out and offered to drive it back to the store for him. He was very appreciative.

I bought my neighbor breakfast :)

I remembered today as I was going thru the starbucks drive thru. I covered the car behind me and a good tip. I found myself trying to drive away quickly, as i didn't want the car to hunt me down. Yesterday I introduced myself to my neighbor and bought her lunch

Sometime ago, we stopped at our favorite coffee stand. I'm a beaver, my wife a duck. An older couple (like us) pulled into the other side of the drive by with beaver flags on their car. I told the gal in the coffee stand we would pay for the coffee for the beavers. She told
the other couple as we were starting to pull out. The look on their
faces was pricless as they strained to look through and see who would
do such a thing. You never lose when you pay-it-forward.


These are just a sampling of the messages I got! Imagine how one act of kindness can press forward? My example from today is one of them.
I stopped to buy coffee and bought one for the person behind me.

When I got to work one of our reporters said loudly in the newsroom "Sombody bought my coffee today" Turns out she had gone to the SAME coffee stand as myself but the person who bought her coffee was A MAN.! I would like to think that me buying coffee for one person spurred several others to do the same! Today is a blessed day

The Little Things

Like a sunny Friday morning in Eugene with good friends, lots of laughs and a general sense of happiness. Remember the little things because one day you might wake up and realize they were the big things...

Thought for they Day

Rapunzel tells us one thing about love climbing the highest tower becomes less difficult if someone at the end gives you reason to hold on.

Love My Friends!

Coming back from Minnesota had a bit of sweetness in it though. I was greeted at the airport by my friend Kari and a big huge "Welcome Back" bouquet! It took the edge off of missing my family and made me smile.

When I got back to my apartment, I saw that Katie had left it sparkling clean as well! SHE also left me a dozen yellow roses to greet me. I felt blessed that is UNTIL I got to work.

LOVELY FLOWERS FOR ME


Katie is the biggest prankster I know and just look at what she did to my desk! I cannot believe she spent all that time just wrapping things ..it must have taken her hours! It was maddening but made me laugh! Oh friends...you never cease to amaze me!

MY DESK WAS SARAN WRAPPED!


EVEN THE COFFEE MUGS WERE VICTIMS!

Some Bitter Some Sweet

As I sit here reflecting on my week in Minnesota I realize that I always come back to Oregon with the same feeling. It's always bittersweet and contemplative. Back to the job I love and the friends I miss but, with a heavy heart as I miss the family and friends I leave behind. Though I always know I will come back soon it doesn't change the fact that I am far away from them again.

The week was fun, interesting, mesmerizing, surprising and overall just what I needed to re-charge my batteries...

Minnesota..I miss you already.
