Thank so much to everyone who came out for Indiana Bank and Trust Company’s QMIX Musical Fireworks XX “RockStars & Stripes” on Friday. We loved seeing your smiling faces.

A great time was had by all including, THE REAL JEFF SATURDAY!! He made a surprise visit to the QMIX tent where he signed some autographs and chatted with the Q Wake-Up Crew.

And hows about that weather? Could it have been more perfect? I think not.

Again, thanks to everyone who came out, we hope you had a great time and look forward to seeing you next year for #21!!!!

So, we learned yesterday Cardboard Jeff Saturday (who is living in the QMIX studio until he finds a permanent home on Friday. www.qmix.com for details) is quite the ladies man.

Nikki G, Sara Beth Clark, and I took a little walk through downtown Columbus with CJS yesterday to try and give him a feel for the community. EVERYWHERE we went the ladies swooned. He seemed to like Columbus and gladly posed for numerous pictures. You can see all of those at the QMIX website and while you’re there checking them out you should probably just go ahead and sign up to take CJS home.

Some of you may have heard this story on the air yesterday. For those who didn’t, here goes. I know a boy. Said boys name is Chris. Yesterday was his 25th birthday, which reminded me of a story.

When Chris and I were in 1st grade I brought in chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing for my birthday. When I walked up to Chris’s desk to give him his cupcake he informed me that he was allergic to chocolate. Little 1st grade Brittany was very sad about this. SO! The next year, not-quite-as-little 2nd grade Brittany brought strawberry cupcakes with strawberry icing for her birthday just so little 2nd grade Chris  could eat one. When I walked up to Chris’s desk to give him his cupcake he said to me, “I wish this was chocolate.”

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!?!!? Still to this day, 19 years later when I think about my birthday that is one of the very first memories that pops up.

With yesterday being Chris’s birthday I told that story on the air. Luckily, my pal Rikki, who is also Chris’s torturous friend heard this story and thought she better do something about it.  As a result the following picture was taken and dubbed THE OFFICIAL CHRIS DARLAGE BIRTHDAY PHOTO OF 2009.

 Happy Birthday, Chris!!! And a HUGE thanks to Rikki for picking on him relentlessly. It’s Karma Chris. Karma.

To everyone listening this morning when I called my good pal Gary and apologized for being a jerky little kid, I have something for you. My mom was kind enough to dig out a picture of little Brittany and Gary for your viewing pleasure.

 

For those of you who DIDN’T hear it this morning here’s what happened. Nikki G and I decided we wanted Pringles yesterday so we made a quick run to the gas station. While we were there we ran into Gary.  After we left in explaining to Nikki who Gary was (My first friend who lived across the road from me) I told her a story about the time Gary gave me a Barbie for Christmas. The Barbie came with a little plastic curling iron which I was SOOO excited about…until I found out it didn’t actually work. Once I had this revelation I became VERY angry with Gary and stayed that way for quite some time. Nikki pointed out to me that I may have overreacted. She also suggested that I call him during the morning show and apologize. So I did just that. ‘Course then I told everyone that his pants were always unzipped when he was little. I should probably call and apologize for that now too.

Nikki and Keith also called to apologize for some mean things they did. Nikki Called her brother (see her blog for her reason for needing to apologize). Keith wasn’t as lucky as the two of us, however, as when he called his person, Little Sammy Taylor from elementary school, we found that little Sammy was still holding a grudge. Once he heard who was calling he scoffed in disgust and hung up the phone! WOW! Maddox must have been quite the jerk!!

So it’s been forever since I blogged (it seems like I start all my blogs this way) and Nikki G reminds me of this daily. So in an effort to appease her highness, I’m finally going to update.

The Q Wake-Up Crew has a running list of words and phrases that make us uncomfortable, or just words we plain don’t like. It only takes one of us disliking it to get it added to the list for good, and let me tell you, it’s quite a list. It gets mentioned on the air quite often and brought up throughout personal conversations so I figure it is high time that YOU get your very own look at the list. It is as follows:

(settle in and get comfortable. It’s pretty long)

• Moist
• puce
• puke
• tender
• panties
• bloat
• crabapple
• heifer
• goiter
• caucus
• qwerty
• fused toes

*phew* Did you live through that? I told you it was a long one and it’s constantly growing. We keep The List on a white board in the QMIX studio and at the bottom is the often ignored Awesome Words & Phrases List. It contains only a couple of gems including, tater whittler and Sheboygan.

In closing I leave you with some hotness

SHAME ON ME! Neglecting my blog like this.

Things that have happened lately:

I went on vacation. Spent 5 days on the lovely beaches of Gulf Shores.

It was windy…. and then it rained.

My good pal Steve kept me company while I was there. It’s his fault it rained.

In non Alabama news I bought new shoes! I have been trying NOT to buy these suckers for over a year. I finally gave in.

AND! I walked into the radio ranch today and noticed that Nikki G had amazing hair. After complimenting her numerous times and being secretly jealous and angry in my brain she told me her secret. head over to her blog to find out what it is!

 

Hey guys… remember that time that Nikki G and I aired all of our embarassing celebrity crush dirty laundry all over the QMIX blogs?

Well, Nikki G has a new one. Run and ask her about it. GO!! 

HUUUUUUUUGE Thanks to the Q Wake-Up Crews good pal Carol Barth for bringing us Starbucks this morning. She has amazing timing. Right as getting up at 3:30 was starting to bring me down she showed up with the caffiene! Can anyone say, hero? Nice job Carol and thanks a million!

Ok folks, I’m a little ashamed to admit this, but here goes. I REEEEAAAAALLLLY wanna catch one of the shows from Britney Spears Circus tour. I’m actually pretty bummed that there wasn’t a show scheduled a little closer than Chicago. The anti-girlie stuff Brittany Gray is appalled right now. She’s sitting on her high horse mocking and scoffing. I’m gonna go get Nikki G to push her off that horse, because something tells me Nikki wants to go too.

Check out some of this rehersal video… FREAKIN AWESOME

Also, I want to move to Rome and ride a purple Vespa around everywhere. That is all.
