My fur babies Bruce and Clark turned 4 yesterday.  I'm late sharing the birthday party photos because I forgot to bring my camera to work yesterday.  Bad mommy!  So greatful these two little characters are a part of my life.  I'm so lucky we met.  They're so spoiled!  Can you see in the second photo they now have a Beach Boys concert shirt and a Papa Smurf shirt.  I can't wait to take them out in their new threads.....

What a weekend!  I was lucky enough to spend both Friday and Saturday Night with Variety the children's charity and the Young Variety.  These two groups work together  to help provide local children with disabilities reach their full potential by providing vital medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, van lifts and more.  Just amazing people!  Carlos Santana performed at their "Dinner with the Stars" event and he didn't even charge them....he waived his fee for the kids.  I met with Carlos Santana before his show and I was impressed with his love of giving back.

Being born and raised in St. Louis some of my greatest family and school field trip memories included the beautiful St. Louis Zoo.  This morning I was lucky enough to go to breakfast there and score a special meet-and-greet with a few California Sea Lions. 

I'm in love......

A female reporter in southwest China named Chen Ying was about to get married when Saturday's 7.0 earthquake hit.  So this devoted reporter immediately grabbed a microphone and started reporting from the scene . . . while she was still in her wedding dress......

For those of you who know I'm single you know I'm always watching the dating shows and reading books on relationships....I find human behavior overall just fascinating. NBC has a new relationship show "Ready For Love" which airs on Tuesday Nights after "The Voice."  I had to find out more so I caught up with one of the matchmakers.  Here's my interview with Amber Kelleher-Andrews I'm hoping it will enlighten you because it sounds like all singles worry way to much!  She also gives some great ideas on 1st dates and how there should always be a 2nd.....
