Everyone is talking about Tom Brady's new 'do at the Met Gala Ball. He's the cover boy for the Herald today and on a bunch of other sites yesterday. My thought is...what's the big deal?! He's been sporting the metrosexual look for quite some time now, and to be honest, it looks good. He does however need a good mother's lick on the finger and a c'mere, to fix the stray strands that are sticking up on the side. Other than that he looks good. He's approaching the end of his prime, why not have some fun with fashion and youthful looks while ya still can. I say...too much gel is never enough when it comes to lookin' good! Have fun, Tom.
This blog is dedicated to my friends. Recently I went down to Biloxi, MS to visit my oldest and best friend Sara Goodwin. I can't even really describe in words the warm feeling I got when I saw my best girls face picking me up at the airport. That familiar face that I've know my whole life hasn't changed a bit, yet has aged at the same rate as mine. She was so excited to see me...and that made me feel so good. I was just as excited to see her...
We had so much fun just being in each others company and the conversation was so easy, as if the time we've been apart never happened. I loved that. It is the greatest feeling in the world to be among a friend that knows you inside and out and whom you can totally be yourself around. There are only a ...
It's been a while since I shared a blog, so today seems like a great day to add an entry. Why? Because there's so much to talk about! The weather has been amazing, big shakeups in the sports world, my favorite guy on TV - Steven Tyler, is looking better than ever (I pray that Aerosmith will tour this summer...) and his show American Idol, is better than it has been in recent years, in my opinion.
Let's start with the weather...even though I think that this early warm weather is going to wreak havoc with bugs and mosquitoes later this summer, right now I'm LOVING IT! I have no problem heading to bed when it's still sorta light outside (yes, getting up earlier to do the news, puts me to bed earlier..around 8pm) In fact, I absolutley love waking up to the birds! Who would have thought in March??
Tim Tebow ...
Change is never easy. But necessary... I've been talking about cutting my hair, for a change. It's been a while now that I've had it long, and it's non-unlike me to chop it all off on a whim. I've been using the wonderful product Ovation Cell Therapy and it's gotten pretty long. But the spring-ahead time change has made me have spring on the brain, so my thoughts naturally drift towards other changes.
A spring haircut might be just what I need! How much thought do you put into changing your look? Do you go out on a whim and change your color or cut?
Let me know your thoughts and if I should be like Nike, and just do it!
So, you've decided to host a party on Super Sunday. You've got the guest list in order, and who's making the run to the liquor store to stock up on beer and other refreshments. The next logical question is: what are you serving? Food makes or breaks a party and this Sunday is no exception. There are 2 ways to go on this: serve ho-hum munchies like chips, dips, pre-made sandwiches, and a vegetable tray (and there's NOTHING wrong with these kinds of foods, I love a good pig out). Or you could go fancy-schmancy and serve individual pulled pork sandwiches, crabcakes, and a salmon tray. Either way the food you serve must go along with the company you invite. Or, if you're like some...serve all liquid ;)
I've been to a few Superbowl parties and from what I remember the menu was a combination of real food and munchie food. ...
The snow on Saturday was a welcome sight, in my opinion. I know it's a lot to deal with, but so pretty! And nothing beats a snowy Saturday when you don't have to work. You've heard all the weather reports say that our snowfall is way below the average for this time of year, so we're due.
I took the opportunity to go see a movie. We headed out to Showcase Cinemas Woburn to see The Artist. What a great, refreshing movie! The best, most fun I've had at a movie theater in a long time. The music was outstanding and the story was easy to follow. The performances were so crisp and bright, I have a new appreciation for actors and their craft. Go see The Artist and take the kids, too! They'll love it. A great movie 'the whole family will love'!!
Every year I usually make at least a few resolutions. Usually they have to do with becoming organized, sticking to my fitness routine and reading more.
For some reason, this year I don't feel like making any resolutions. I know all the things I have to do to become organized, stay on track with my health and read more. So why do I need to make a resolution, get bummed out that I'm not sticking to it and then start this merry-go-round again?!
I'm resolving to use some reverse psychology on myself and not make a single resolution. I'm going to let this year surprise me by seeing how full and enjoyable a year can be with nothing hanging over my head. No resolutions or promises to break...nothing to live up to. I'm going to do what I know I should, and try my best everyday without letting myself self-sabotage. ...
We were having a great conversation about Men's Health Magazine and their choice to crown Jennifer Aniston the Sexiest Woman Of All Time. I agree, and disagree with the choice. I agree because of the way they rationalized their choice, and disagree because I...well, I disagree!
I'm glad they went with Jennifer over Angelina, and I think that makes a big statement. I believe what they say about funny and self-assured being sexy, even though, as I said, I don't think Jennifer is The Sexiest Of All Time.
I haven't really given much thought to who is, but because I brought up the subject (!) it would be lame for me not to name a name, right? So here I go: Now, this is an old school name...but Rachel Hunter would be a name. Why? Well, for starters, she's over 40 and I just read a chain mail and agree with ...
Last week I went to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the World Famous Radio City Rockettes! A mouthful, I know, but like any good dessert - totally worth it! And that is exactly what this show is, dessert. It's showbizz of the highest order with glitzy glammy costumes, babes dancing in unison, a virtual tour through NYC, kids discovering the true meaning of Christmas and Santa himself.
I loved it. There are a bunch of new features to the show this year, like a 50ft. LED screen that really drives the whole show home. The new costumes the Rockettes wear each have 3,000 Swarovski crystals! They're really beautiful and dramatic... and the new dance numbers fit right in line with Rockette precision. Of course, the old favorites like the parade of the wooden soldiers is nestled in the middle.
All in all, a great show, and I highly ...
Magic isn't playing Christmas tunes yet. I know there are stations on the radio dial that are, but I'm glad it's not us...yet. I've enjoyed hearing Christmas songs in stores and when I'm flipping around on the radio - (a little bit), but wall to wall...too much!! I'd be sick of Christmas before it's even ever arrived!!!! So, lemme just say I'm glad to be working at the Best Radio Station in Boston! Who's with me??
R.I.P.D. has been filming in Boston for a while now. It stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges. You'd think that I'd be into the younger, more svelte Ryan. Not the case at all! I'd much rather see The Dude known as Jeff Bridges. I don't have anything against Ryan - I liked him in the movie he did with Sandra Bullock. (I think they'd make a great pair even though he's dating Blake Lively.) He's just not my type. (I'm more into the long-haired rocker kind of thing....) So, I'm asking you, the Boston public, if you've seen Ryan around town, met him, shook his hand, waited on his table - is he a good guy? He seems pretty keep-to-himself, which is why I wonder what people love about him so much. I know he's a good actor, and he takes good care of himself...so is that it? If you're a Ryan Reynolds ...
Hi friends, I thought I'd take a moment to throw in my 2 cents about some of the entertainment items that have us all talking these days.
The Kardashians - namely the wedding that wasn't. I don't believe that the wedding was executed solely for tv. I do, however think there was a 'casting' element to Kris Humphries as the groom. If you ever watched any of the episodes leading up to Kim's Fairytale Wedding special on E! (just the name - isn't it supposed to be Kim and Kris' Fairytale Wedding??) you could plainly see that they didn't even like each other! They truly didn't even get along. It made me cringe. So, why do I think that the wedding wasn't put on just for tv? Because I think that Kim really did get caught up in the wedding hoopla, and didn't know how to get out. She wanted to be on ...
I know there is a food truck festival this weekend at Suffolk Downs, but where do these trucks come from? And where do they park on a regular basis? Or is that the hook, they don't have just one place that they park, so they can be mobile and travel to where hungry people are? I've caught a few episodes of the Great Food Truck Race on the Food Network, but is it really a phenomenon that I just have not caught yet? I've never seen one!
I was talking with a co-worker who says, "Oh yeah, they're huge...you can always find them at SOWA Sundays on Harrison Ave. in Boston." I'm on the air here at Magic from 12-4 Sunday's, so I can't get a bite then. But I'm thinking Fan Hall / Downtown Crossing would be a likely place to find a food truck! Yeah...that's what I"m gonna ...
This past weekend is what I wait for all year it seems! I had such a nice afternoon on Saturday. No jacket, just long sleeve shirt, jeans and I was fine. I have been sooo sick of the moist humid weather we've been having. You don't know whether to wear a jacket or not, and if you do you probably don't need the extra layer and could have done with an umbrella instead! Uhh...
There's magic in the air when the leaves start to change and a brisk wind comes and whips your hair around, and your cheeks get rosy from being outdoors. It's the best, most wonderful time of the year!
Hope you enjoyed the glorious weather, and even in the fall, it's nice to stop and smell... the leaves!
The Bruins get their rings today. What a great day! I got sucked into the end of their championshiop season and am now proud to say I'm bonafide Bruins fan. The regular season starts on Thursday, at home....let's go B's!
But tonight is the night. They've been celebrating all summer and now they'll get to see the glory of their hard work. In fact, I'll get to see a version of it up close and personal. Pete Smith, our new promotions guy, is on the media relations team and he's getting a ring!Here's to another great season!
Oh this weather...it's all we can talk about. Well, I say change the subject! It could be worse...as our friends around the country are experiencing at an all too high cost. I do get it though, we haven't seen this much gloomy weather in a long time. It dampens spirits and your hair when you step out. On the other hand, this moist air is supposed to be good for your complexion...
And if we didn't have such a soggy spring, the grass wouldn't be so green, the sun wouldn't feel so good, and we wouldn't have a sure-fire subject to talk about with our co-workers!! ;)
Happy almost Friday and somewhat sunny weekend.

There are just too many holidays that revolve around candy! I'm getting sick of the leftovers that have been in my house all week, not to mention the candy brought in from co-workers! I'm supposed to be starting my new life on Monday - and I'm wondering how I'll do it with all these sweets!
My new life is one of bootcamp exercise 3 days a week, and cutting out the crap 7 days a week! I want to fit into my winter clothes, so drastic measures need to be taken! Are you with me ladies?!
Back to the candy...it does seem like there will just be no relief until next summer, when all the cook-outs ramp up again. I did learn one good tip from the interviews we do on Morning Magic from the folks at Yahoo Shine..instead of having a candy jar at your desk, or home, put ...
I had a great time playing in Milan Lucic's Rock and Jock Charity Softball game on Friday night in Lowell, but my ankle..not so much. I got on first base almost after killing Rick Middleton - oh yeah...! I didn't mean to hit him! I was swinging at almost every pitch, and when it got to a full count..I swung and hit that ball right into Rick's chest! Oh mi goodness... I felt so bad, but had to run out the play!! So I got onto first base and then slid into second, spraining my ankle pretty bad. It's all swollen and black and blue...my karma for hitting Rick, I suppose. He was so nice, and thankfully wasn't hurt. We sure had a lot of fun. Tim Thomas, Shawn Thornton, Reggie Lemelin, Jon Siglaet, Max Lane, Eric Flaim, Brandon Yip, Cole Wright, Joe Haggerty were also there part of the ...
