Rocco Mediate I'm Not (Melanie)

I've been wanting to learn how to golf since I received clubs last year from my husband as a gift. Since it is almost July and I have NOT went golfing with him once, today was the DAY!
My folks watched our little one and we had a morning "date" on the course.
I did as good as I could for the first time out. This is a sport that needs tons and tons of practice and time. That is something, unfortunately, I don't have....lots of time.

I have such respect for golfers now....more than before. My Dad and hubby play together a lot and I can see how fun it can be and how amazingly addicting it could become.


I do know that I don't think I hurt or injured anything (animal or human) today on the course. I lost tons of balls in the water. I learned you can take balls that aren't yours if you find them. I learned that my shoes I bought LOOK SO CUTE. I learned how fun it is to spend one on one alone time learning something with your significant other. I learned golf terminology. I learned that I wish I could drive a cart to work instead of my car...they are so cool!

I could go on and on. I hope I can start playing here and there and learn more of the game.

I gotta tell Buck and Bubba tomorrow what the man working at the golf course said today. When I asked him what a good time was to come to the course for it to not be so crowded....his response was.."Well, honey,...since the US OPEN..this course is packed..cause everyone thinks they can be Tiger or Rocco now."

Raising Awareness (Melanie)

No matter what the cause is that your heart truly believes in...it is GREAT if you support it. If it is a foundation or belief or some type of research for a cure.
It was a pleasure to see so many people at Tusca on the SouthSide June 13th for the WHITE PARTY that Maniac Magazine threw...there 4th annual!!! All the proceeds went to multiple sclerosis.
Even if you don't have a lot of money to go to these events..or when you get there you don't have a lot of money to give to the research...just being there sometimes shows support to the masses.
I learned in 15 minutes more about MS than I ever thought I would from the guest speaker.
Learning is key.
This coming Saturday I was asked to help emcee an event in my hometown of Monessen. The Relay for Life Walk for the American Cancer Society. All of us know someone that was diagnosed with cancer.
Learning, supporting and educating is what it is all about.
Since I have a heart condition..the American Heart Association is KEY for me.
What is yours?
Before I end the quick blog and try to hit the sack for bed...I wanted to tell you all to have a GREAT week and to look at the silly picture that Intern Beaker from the morning show and I took. Then...since it was a "girls night out"..me and my "girls" are in the next one! Jen, Jodie, Tiff and I had a blast!

Maniac Time (Melanie)

I'm excited to have a girls night out this Friday the 13th at Tusca on the SouthSide for the big Maniac Magazine "WHITE PARTY." Everyone has to wear ALL white or you can't get in. You know..sort of like P Diddy's all white parties he throws in the Hampton's.
All proceeds for the event go to multiple sclerosis. You can go to maniacmagazine.com for more info and ticket prices.
Doors do open at 7pm and there is a fashion show at 8pm and an after party.
Me and the girls are going down early to do dinner.
I'm not sure if Buck and Bubba are coming down.
Trying to find ALL white was hard enough for me as a female, so I'm assuming it will be tougher for the guys.
But, I know you Pittsburgh men will look GOOD.
Try to head to the SouthSide this Friday night!

Pens (Melanie)

Just a big congratulations to our Pittsburgh Penguins. What an amazing run. Period.
We love you.

I'm heading out to shake hands today at the McDonald's on Constitution Boulevard in Beaver from 12-2pm. Stop out and say hello and win some great B94 prizes.

According to Buckhead and Bubba..I will be SWEATING outside at my remote today since it is going to be so hot!

I'll sweat nicely..I promise.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the most beautiful weather we've had in awhile.
If you are heading out to PNC park for any baseball games this weekend....GO BUCS!

FUEL OR NO FUEL (Melanie)

So, this is what our piggy banks look like since GAS is 100 million dollars a gallon.
Ok..not that much, but almost 4 bucks!
Thanks to B94 and our wonderful promotions department for this great new giveaway everyday in the 7am, 12 noon and 5pm hours!
Listen to play FUEL OR NO FUEL. You can bargain to win a Sheetz gas card....up to ONE grand! Sheetz has really hooked us up, so make sure you tune in.
We kicked off the big giveaway today with Buckhead and Bubba in the morning.
The skinny piggy bank photo comes from an email forward from my cousin Debbie. Funny huh?


Thanks to Channel 4 anchor Andrew Stockey for coming on air with us this morning to discuss politics and to Channel 2 reporter Alison Morris for coming on air to talk about the Pens tonight and the big WHITE OUT.

GO PENS!!

Pens...You Make Us Proud (Melanie)

I'm hoping this picture of us in the B94 studio can mean something more than just us being able to have the Lord Stanley stop by last Friday. I'm hoping this cup comes back to Pittsburgh in 2008.

You gotta have the faith! If you are a true Pittsburgher you are upset about the Pens being down 3-1. You might even be a fair weathered fan. Admit it. We all are at some point in this city.

Tonight is game five of the Stanley Cup Finals. We have a tough game ahead in Detroit.
I won't blog about knowing a lot about hockey, because I don't. But, I will say that I know that we HAVE to win tonight...or else..this is over.
Let's Go Pens!

Sex And The City (Melanie)

I'm admitting that I absolutely adore Sex And The City. I watched all six seasons faithfully and actually got my husband to watch them all with me too.
He might not admit how much he loved the shows (that is a whole other blog) but deep down I know he does.
So, I went to see SATC with the big B94 premiere on May 27th. As Miley Cyrus says.."it was a GNO..GIRLS NIGHT OUT."
Well, in about 30 minutes me and the man are going to see it AGAIN.
I've talked him into taking me to dinner and watching it with me.
I know it won't disappoint the second time either.
This weekend I was in a wedding...saw my niece's dance recital, grocery shopped, did laundry and yard work..went to church and it is a NICE way to spend a lazy late Sunday afternoon.
I'm still upset about the Pens, so I know Miranda, Carrie, Charlotte and Samantha can cure that.
Plus, they will make my husband forget about the loss of the Pens with how good they all look in the movie.
You sacrifice in a marriage right?
Okay..so maybe I'll owe him after today!
:)
