Melissa in the Morning

I had a dilemma. I was about to go out of town for a few days but wanted to make sure my dogs were fed. There are some people who can leave enough food out and they would be OK. Not me I have a plump dog and a very skinny one.

So it took me a bit to calm down so I could write this story. I experienced something the other night that I have never have before and to be honest I am OK if I never again.

I would have to say that grocery shopping is not my favorite thing in the world to do. Do you feel that way too? I tend to go maybe once a week. I also find myself trying to think of everything I might need next week too. In hopes of not having to go back.

Who is ready for Christmas? I mean I am not talking about having all the Christmas presents bought. Though I feel you may have started a little of it.

It is not uncommon to go into a place of business and see someone with headphones in their ears. Especially if they work in an office environment. If not headphones at work...maybe they have a radio on or it is playing through their computer.

I took a few days to visit my daughter in the Dallas area. This is the first trip I got to take since I obtained my TSA Precheck status. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I didn’t feel having it leaving Amarillo was as important as heading back from Dallas last Wed…

I will go out right here and say I am not a fan of the colder weather. Heck, I am not even a fan of how cold they keep the office. I feel I am ALWAYS cold.

This can really be a magical time of year. I mean all the great things to come. The Christmas lights....music and trips to see Santa.

So I just took a trip to visit my daughter and I flew. So it got me to thinking about the water on planes. Now I am not talking about the water you get to drink when they come around on their carts.

We almost have a full work week with the time change under our belt. Whether we love the change or hate it. It happened and we have to just deal with it. There has been debate if we should put an end to it.

We are a little over 3 weeks away from the big day. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. Do you want your Thanksgiving to be the talk of town? No I am not talking about family drama or burnt food.

There are two types of people when it comes to being somewhere on time. The ones that get there really early and the ones that are always late.

If you are not from Amarillo you will not believe all the Clydesdale's that will be lining the streets in Downtown Amarillo this afternoon. It is such the sight.

Again as luck would have it I find out about another Amarillo Restaurant biting the dust on Facebook yesterday.

Look over your lifetime. Have you gone on fad diets? Have you tried to go that fast and easy way to lose weight? Only to find out it didn't work?

So last night as I left work I realized how dark it really was.

So back a couple of months ago I was asked to write something up about the Best of Amarillo. I found out I was included in top Best Radio Personality Category. I was so happy to be mentioned.

I feel like most of my college days was spent choosing a meal out of a vending machine. Now when I say meal, I really mean like chili cheese Fritos or ranch flavored Fritos. Those were my go to back then.

So a lot of us complain about our sleeping habits. Do we just not seem to get enough sleep? Is there a reason? Do we sleep like everyone else?

So Sunday night it was about 10:20 pm when I received the first call from my daughter in the Dallas area. Last week when she called me late it was because of the tornado that hit. So I never know what to expect when that phone rings.
