COPS, the Plaza, and Q104

Well, we got up and showered and ready to go.  We *did* pack those sandwiches, but only because I knew the girls would get pretty hungry before we got home.  We got to the station a little after 8, and visited with Whitey and Robbie, while the crew of the "Morning Drive" did their thing on-air.  As they were able, they came out one at a time to visit.  We had taken the cookies, and the girls had drawn pictures for everyone.  They were all really nice.

After the morning show ended, Jillian took us in to the studio to look around, and watch her set up the computer to keep things moving until Ronnie, the midday guy, could get in and get started.  When Ronnie got there, we watched Jillian record a commercial spot for him, then we headed out to the Plaza for a while.  We parked the car and ate our sandwiches, then realized that my camera was still at the studio, so we made a 4 block detour to pick it up.

On the Plaza, we roamed around taking pictures and acting like the hicks that we are.  It was a lot of fun.  The girls really enjoyed the Discovery Channel store, since they encourage touching and playing with the merchandise there.  Many pictures later, we decided it was about time to head back to the studio, to meet up with TJ.

TJ is the one we met at the concert, that got us onto the bus and took such good care of the girls.  They adore her.  She showed up, and we gave her the Dark Chocolate Dove bar (we knew it was her favorite) and she made a big fuss over it.  Then she sat and just visited with us for 20 or 30 minutes.  It was great.  I knew she had work to do, so I got a picture of the girls with her, and we headed home, leaving instructions with her on how to distribute the other goodies we were leaving for those not there yet.

It was a good time, and we are pooped.  I tried to take a nap this afternoon, but failed miserably (thanks, Lucy...yes, that barking at nothing is adorable.)  Instead, I got up and Natalie and I cleaned up around her a bit (Monica was napping,) and made a pot of chili.  She even did the loads of laundry that Brett promised to do before heading to his Dad's.  He was, conveniently, headed out the door as we parked the car, so I didn't know until he was gone. *sigh*  I'm gonna kick his butt one of these days.
