I miss Johnny B.

Hey gang. Only one more day without Johnny B. He will return from vacation Friday morning. But, then I go on vacation. So, I will have to wait until next week to see him. (sigh)

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas. I spent it with some amazing friends and had a blast. I am heading to Nebraska to see my family on Friday. I haven't been back in over a year. I hope they recognize me.

have a great day.

The Most Famous Reindeer of All

Happy Holidays Y'all.

Today we gave away another gift card to Saxby's. Our listener Amber had to name all 9 reindeer. Can you do it?

Johnny also gave us his tips for cutting your cleaning time in half. If only he would clean up his side of our office.
Cut cleaning in half. Wash just the bottom part of a window. Forget the top, which is usually covered by a shade or a blind.

Blow it off. Use a hair dryer to speed-dust books, artwork, and figurines. Vacuum up whatever falls to the floor.

Seal in the shine. When Thanksgiving is over, place polished silver in a self-sealing plastic freezer bag, press out the air, and close. This will help keep the pieces tarnish free.

Prep dirty dishes. Before you start cooking dinner, fill the sink with hot, soapy water. As you finish with each pan, stick it in the sink cleanup will be much easier.

Vacuum selectively. Think high traffic: Run your machine in front of chairs, around the sides of the bed, and on the bottom or top two steps of the staircase (the steps that get dirtiest and the ones guests are most likely to see).

And what would you do with one extra hour each day? Here are the top answers. We added Get A Massage and Sleep.
1. Go Shopping
2. Spend time with family
3. hang out with significant other
4. read a book
5. have coffee with a friend

I loved this story today about the guy who failed a drug test b/c his wife spiked his meatballs. Check this out.

Where is Frosty? We read about the 42 Foot Tall Inflatable snowman that was stolen in Tyler, TX. How did they not get caught. You would think somebody would see this. There's a $1,000 reward for his return.

Today was Wildcard Wednesday and 5 more people got registered for the Honda Civic. Listen to Laura and Scott K. today for your next chance. All the info is online at www.975klak.com Wouldn't it be awesome to win a new car?!

Holiday Eating Tips

I got this funny email today so I thought I would share it with you.

Holiday Eating Tips

1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet
table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots,
leave immediately. Go next door, where they are serving rum balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt
scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch.
You can't find it any other time of year but now. So, drink up! Who cares
that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to
turn into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one
for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!

3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of
gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your
mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.

4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or
whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports
car with an automatic transmission.

5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control
your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other
people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?

6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New
Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is
the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table
while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

They make how much???

Hello there. Thanks for checking out the blog today. Did you see the list of Top Paid Actresses?

1. Reese Witherspoon- $22 million per movie
2. Angelina Jolie- $15-20 million per movie
3. Cameron Diaz- $15-20 million per movie
4. Nicole Kidman- $15-20 million per movie
5. Renee Zelwegger- $10-15 million per movie

Johnny is a little sad today after his West Virginia team lost Saturday and now will not play for the National Championship.

Congrats to McKinney Boyd for making it as far as they did in the playoffs. They lost Friday night but, finish the season at a very impressive 9-4. Celina and Farmersville are both still in the race for the championship. Good luck to them!

I am totally hooked on a video game. I played Guitar Hero for the first time and now I can't stop thinking about playing again. Have you played yet? Is there a help group for addicts?

This morning we also talked about my Christmas Shopping problem. I can't do any more shopping because I end up buying "gifts" for myself instead of others on my list. I did it again over the weekend. I bought jeans and a new sweater instead of the items on my list.

This is the time of the year that alot of kids get "sick" and miss school. Here are some tips to see if your kids is faking it.
1. Check out the Medical Evidence. Take their temperature first. Look for dry cough, body aches, fever, runny nose, fatigue etc...
2. Look for Telltale Faking Signs. Kids who are truly sick usually fall asleep. If your child is watching hours of t.v. he/she might be faking.
3. Get the bottom of the problem. Some kids just want to stay home, others may have serious underlying problem.
4. Do they have a big test that day?
5. Is their name Johnny B.

The Swami Mommy is picking the Ravens to win tonight's Monday Night Football game. Even though the Patriots are undefeated and the better team. But, she has to go with her home team. We will see. I actually need Tom Brady to have a really good game so I can win my Fantasy Football game.

Have a great day.
