Hiccups on Air

I never want to be 'that girl' ... 'that dj' ...
I have heard numerous 'horror' stories of burping on-air, coughing on-air and of course the one you cannot control AT ALL 'hiccuping' on-air.
This morning at around 7:05am I started hiccuping pretty badly and realized that my worst fear might actually come true ... I could hiccup on-air. I tried holding my breath, drinking my coffee really fast, I jumped up and down, I put my head between my knees ... I tried everything to get rid of them.
With 60 seconds left of Sugarlands 'It happens' (haha), I realized that everyone at some point has a moment on-air that they cannot help.
Be it my intense concentration or the fact that I was so scared of the embarrassment I might cause myself, with 10 seconds to go, my hiccups magically disappeared.
I am a very happy 'morning' person but I do not think I've ever been THAT perky on-air ... yep I'm 'that girl'

Heading to Snowshoe this weekend

So I'm heading to Snowshoe Mountain this weekend with a bunch of friends and I'm nervous. I am not a terribly bad snowboarder ... I just don't seem to be getting any better. I have been 'practicing' the past couple of weekends at Winterplace and I have the one slope I go down and that's it. I know exactly where to slow down ... where I have to totally stop ... and where I know I can go a little faster. It is in my opinion, a fairly safe slope for a newbie like me. However from the pictures above you can tell I have had a couple of spills ... resulting in the biggest bruise I think my knee has ever experienced. I have had people ask me 'did you jump off a rail' or 'did you fly into something.' The truth of the matter is, I simply kept falling on my right knee and it was so cold I did not feel the bump getting bigger.
So as I prepare for my mini-vacation to Snowshoe, I will definitely be packing some advil, some comfy shoes, taking some of my best girl-friends and I must not forget the (man-size) kneepads I spent a small fortune on ...
Catch ya next week ... hopefully not in too much pain!

My thoughts on Valentines Day

I doesn't matter if I'm single or in a relationship, I've never been a fan of Valentines Day. I've read a lot of articles on the input that the media has on Valentines Day and I find it incredibly frustrating.
Typically girls put the most effort and thought into this day ... however the more guys I talk to the more I realize that both sexes have become a tad 'obsessed' with this day.
One of the best articles I've read as of late is that Valentines day, should be a day to take stock of your love life. Whether you're single, dating, in a relationship or married, take stock of what you want and what you have. Roses, Chocolates, HUGE teddy bears are all very sweet but just remember Valentines Day is just a day.
So whatever I receive on Valentines Day, will remain a mystery til this Saturday. I will embrace the day however, as I'm working and as I've always said there's nothing like the relationship you can have with you're job ...

Letter to Me

I love the whole idea of writing a letter to your 'younger' self. So here goes

... High School is a lot easier than you think ... once you get out in the real world it's a whole lot harder to have a sick day.
... boys will come and go and it will get harder every time ...
... there's a reason you always loved working at More FM
... your sisters will become your best friends
... so will your mum
... you will become the person you always thought you would be
... people will tear you down every chance they get, that great 'ignoring' asset you have will come in handy a fair amount

thats it for now ... more to follow ...
