Yesterday was my last day as a FOX 2 Webtern.   I learned more than I ever thought I would.  Not only did I learn about web production, I learned about journalism and the inner workings of the news business.  I learned that the reporters are more than people that read the news they really care about our community.  I learned that the people you don't see are the wheels that keep it all moving. They never treated me like an intern.  They shared ideas with me and allowed me to give input as well. 

For occasions like this, I keep a list of quotes so that I will never forget the experience. 

"I'm all about the news."

"Wow, You figured that out on your first day?"

"What did you put in those cookies."

"Drop your thongs for the troops."

"I had to get there before the sweaty guy."

"My front end and my back end are down."

"What goodies are back here?"

"This isn't like KMOX."

"Coffee is like Scotch, it smells better than it tastes."

"I'm not the weather girl, i'm a meteorologist."

"Breaking News!"

"What are you doing with kids?"

"She tried to hit me with the camera."

"You're  good at computers, Right?"

"I was going to propose marriage to your mom."

"They drank the kool-aid."

"I think she's mad at me."

"Mmm, grape vodka."

"I wasn't always married."

"Ew, he stuck his tongue out!"

"This isn't an urban legend, Right?"

"You don't have to convince me to go to an Irish Pub."

"Not Good-bye, See you later"

"Thanks for everything FOX 2! "- April

HUG ME PILLOW

The caption reads:

“The perfect snuggling companion, the Hug Me pillow provides comfort as well as piece of mind.” –hmmm piece of mind. 

As if an intruder might come in while you are sleeping and be fooled by this half-torso arm pillow. 

I am wondering why they went through the trouble to add a fake hand.  Maybe that’s the piece of mind!

Keeps me company! Jun 7, 2006
By Anonymous from Alaska  

I bought this pillow to keep my company on nights when my husband, a correspondent for the Trans-Alaskan News Network, was out of town. The pillow exceeded even my wildest expectations. I'm told the pillow was modeled after Brad Pitt, and I believe it! When I first nestled against the soft, but firm chest of my new "husband" I slept better than I ever had before. Now I don't mind when my husband goes out of town!

Whoa, she said Brad Pitt.  I mean, why even get married when there’s the Hug Me Pillow?! lol

Check out this pillow for yourself, it’s even on sale! http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hug-Me-Pillow/1
