It's official!

I should be:

but....(yep, insomnia got me good tonight/today, whatever)

So here I am blog buddies...this is the dish on my Tuesday.
Ta da!!!
I am going to a networking meeting and will announce with the GM of WKIQ 1240 AM our
PARTNERSHIP!
This little fledgling radio station is well, cute.
They have been on and off the air since 1955 but there's some new young blood in town!
The GM is a man all of, well, I don't know, maybe 25?
When did that become young to me? CHILDLIKE even?
Sheesh.

Anyway, little young GM and I will stand and present each other in a mutual admiration extravaganza! (no you, no really you, no you I insist)

Should be fun...I am actually looking forward to it. I can't help but feel, as usual, that attaching my "cofee with the editor" name to anything is a bit narcissistic...as in we may name the radio show "Coffee with the Editor" to keep the branding going...
I felt that way about naming the blog that too but Jeff was insistent and said it was a perfect fit...UGH.
but I have to have a name for this show by 7:45 am so unless you all are up and willing to brainstorm over diet cokes and left over tacos...I may have to go with it.

I like Saturday Morning Coffee too.... maybe I will laugh it off as in "We don't even have a name for the show yet!" hahahahahha and "Aren't we quaint just a wingin' it like this?"
Would love your thoughts on a name.

The idea behind Coffee with the Editor is that it keeps people recognizing LAKE FAMILY MAGAZINE which IS the entire point.

Anyway, we will stand up...I will talk show biz, he will talk biz, biz and won't-we-create-the-buzz...oh and did I tell you? He's a Christian!

The show airs for the first time on (gulp) Saturday Feb 21st!

I wish I was more nervous. I am worried that I will be too laid back and unprepared.
But I do best winging it. But prep is not to be underrated.

Did I Really commit to doing this every week?

Maybe someone will buy the magazine and I will go into radio!

Think: Howard Stern meets Rush Limbaugh. JUST kidding.
Think: Miss Patty Cake meets Dr. Laura (who I dislike immensely) but is likely closer to the truth.

And then again, maybe all the little dandelion fairies will come floating into my kitchen from my dreams that I should be dreaming and clean and make fresh blueberry scones for the morning...

But I digress...

Nah, it's all good. I'm excited and trying to figure out if I should be:

A. Mean! You know, like Judge Judy.
B. Sweet! You know, like syrup and warm hot cakes in an apron.
C. Myself! Slightly sarcastic but always loving and Jeff says (God love him) RIGHT! Hahahahah!

I knew I married well.

Come on peeps, gimme some thoughts on this. And please set aside this one hour and listen to yours truly dialogue (or monologue if no one calls, lol) on provocative parenting issues coming on Sat the 21st! 10:00 AM!

I want to get some people scheduled to call but I am concerned if you know, like Tiffany calls up, I won't be able to not admit that I know her. I mean, I just cannot help be like:

"TIF!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know this lady listeners- so it doesn't count."

I cannot fib I swear..not even when it just doesn't matter.

I remember once I went to see Emeril Lagasse in my old hometown right on the cusp of his fame. He cooked in the parking lot of our bookstore in Vero. The PR girl for the store and I were friends. I was her MASSAGE therapist and when he took questions I raised my hand. She pointed to me and was like: "There! The lady in the red!" Like she didn't know me. I thought, puhleeze. (His favorite meal is porkchops by the way..oh and once I got to ask Dave Letterman if he could spell Albuquerque when I was in his audience. He told me to shut up. Lol)

Anyway, so I don't want to be like THAT but also don't necessarily want people thinking I SET UP callers. Even though I did. I mean, I am pretty much responsible for getting this thing going at first so...you think that would be ok? That would be why I would try to first "create" the show until it kind of took off...can anything AM take off? I don't know!

We can't even advertise it in the Mag until March so the first few times will be a good warm up before we can LET THE MASSES know through advertising. (that should bring listenership to a total of about 14.)


So, what do you think? or do you care? Alright! Alright! I'm going, I'm going...
