Hey everyone,
I have had such a great week. This was
Christmas
week, which means my birthday was
also this week. I hope everyone had a
safe and Merry
Christmas and got everything you
asked for. I know I did. Wednesday
night, Cody and I worked on our
Country Café 2009 Review Show for Saturday
night. I didn’t realize how much
we have done this year. We had so many
segments; it was so hard to narrow
it down to just a few. My favorite
by far was the beach. We filmed an
episode and our intro from there. That
was so much fun. Thursday was the best
day of the week. It was my birthday and
Christmas Eve. I
turned 20 this year. I have waited 20
long years for this. I got so many
phone calls all day long from people wishing
me a happy birthday. I never get that
many phone calls in one day, it was crazy. The
day started out by going to my Aunt Raye’s
house for lunch with my mom’s family.
That was a lot of fun. I received some
great gifts. When I got home, Cody, one
of my best friends came over to
see me and hang out. He even gave me a
UNC Snuggie for my birthday. Thank
you very much Cody. It is so warm.
They are awesome, so if you don’t
have one, you should get one. My
parents got me a brand new pair of Versace
sunglasses. I was so excited when
I opened them up. Unfortunatly the
sun wasn't shinning which was not good
so I wore them in my house all afternoon. They
are so pretty. That night, I went
to my grandma’s
house for supper and to be with
my dad’s family and more presents. Then
came Christmas
Day. I was so excited. I love opening
presents. I got a lot of cool stuff, everything
I wanted and more. My favorite was a ring
I got from Bailey's Jewelry. They
say every girl wants a Bailey Box, and
this year I got one. After we ate
Christmas Dinner, we went to Raleigh to my
aunt's house on my dad’s side for
some more food and family. It seems like
that’s all there is around Christmas
is food. Saturday night, we had our
Year in Review show of Country Café.
We had some special videos to play for
the end of the year and that was the Top
10 Videos of the year. We also showed
some clips of our favorite episodes of
the year. It was a very successful episode
and we hope you all watched. 2009 was
a great year for Country Café, but 2010
is going to be bigger and better than
ever. This wraps up my blogs for 2009.
I hope you all enjoy reading them each
and every week. I want to thank my webmaster,
Cody, for helping me out with the
website and putting the blogs up each
week. Make sure you watch Country Café
this week for our first episode of a brand
new decade. I hope everyone has a
prosperous
New Year and a Great 2010. Happy
New Year everyone!!!

Hey everyone,
This has been a great week for me.
Last Monday of course was karaoke. Nothing
special, but still fun as always. I
didn’t have to take my public speaking
test on Monday because I had perfect attendance
in that class. That made me so happy.
The less exams, the better. On Tuesday,
I took my trig exam. I was nervous about
this exam because I did not do too well
in that class, although I did get a B
as my final grade. I was so relieved
because I thought I failed. That is
my last math class ever, which is so sad
because Math was one of my best subjects,
and now it’s over. I am so sad.
On Wednesday, I gave a toast in my public
speaking class to my cousin Del for finally
graduating from college. That was so
much fun. I am ready to give a real
toast. That was my last class in public
speaking. That was one of my favorite
college classes. That is so sad. Later
that night, I went to Cody’s house to
pretape Country Café. We filmed a very
special Christmas pajama party. It turned
out really good. We read the Night before
Christmas, wrapped presents (well Cody
attempted to), and had a lot of fun.
Thursday night, I went to the WHIG-TV
Christmas party at CB’s. There was
some great food, cake, music, and a lot
of fun. That’s one of the best things
about Christmas, the parties. There
is such a cute, sweet dog there that I
claimed as my own. He loves me and I
love him so we are perfect for each other.
I think I should take that dog. Friday,
Cody and I edited the Country Café we
had filmed on Wednesday. It came together
really easily and looked great. Cody’s
mom does a great job at decorating her
house, and I want to thank her for letting
us film in her house. Saturday night,
my parents took me, and my 2 best friends,
Cody and Jolisa to the Cheesecake Factory
in Raleigh for my birthday. They have
some great food. We had so much fun.
They even sang happy birthday and gave
me an Oreo Cheescake. That was worth
it in itself. Monday was the first day
of winter, and it feels like it. I love
winter so much, and I really want it to
snow. That would be the perfect birthday
present. Karaoke was a very special
Christmas edition. Santa Claus was there
and he was giving away gifts. I even
got a birthday cake. That was so good.
I normally don’t like chocolate cake,
but this chocolate cake was actually good.
I also took Gerald’s Duke Santa hat
off his head on the air. That was cool.
Make sure you tune into Country Cafe this
week on the day after Christmas. We hope
to have a great episode. Christmas is
less than a week ahead so I want to wish
you all a very Merry Christmas and I will
talk to you next week for the last week
in 2009.

Hey everyone,
I have had a great week and I hope you
all have too. Can you believe this is
my 41st blog? That is amazing. Anyway,
on Monday, I listened to speeches about
planning a wedding. If I were getting
married anytime soon, I would be able
to plan it perfectly after listening to
those speeches. That was very interesting.
On Wednesday, my group gave our presentation
on parenting skills. Yes you read that
correctly, parenting skills. I don’t
know a thing about parenting skills, so
I almost put a disclaimer on it. My
part of the speech was on the discovery
years which are ages 5-9. That was
a lot of fun. It was my last major speech
in my public speaking class. My last
speech will be my toast next week. I
wonder who I should give a toast to.
If you have any ideas, let me know.
Thursday, I had my final exam in my World
Lit Class. I was so excited for that
because it was my last English class ever.
I can’t believe I’m done with English.
It feels so good. Thursday night, I
went to the Rudy Theater in Selma to see
the American Music Jubilee. That was
such a great show. They put on a great
Christmas show every year. If you have
never gone, you should go and see it.
They even said Happy Birthday to me.
That was so cool. Saturday night, we
had a great episode of Country Café.
We had a lot of requests, and we want
to thank you all for watching and calling
in. Make sure you tune in this week
for a very special Christmas episode of
Country Café. It is going to be great.
Sunday night, I went over to Cody’s
house to help him paint his room. We
had so much fun. We even had a small
paint fight. I was covered in paint
when I left his house. That just about
wraps up my week; I have a great week
coming up, and I hope you all do too.
I’ll talk to you next week.

Hey everyone,
I hope you all had a great week, I know
I did. Sunday, I went to a Catie’s
small birthday get-together. She had
ice cream cake and opened up some presents.
It was pretty fun, and I also watched
the end of the Carolina game. Monday,
was karaoke. That was a lot of fun,
even though it was karaoke. It was definitely
better than a couple weeks ago. Tuesday
began my favorite month of the year, December.
My birthday is Christmas Eve, and then
of course, there is Christmas. No wonder
December is my favorite month. Thursday,
I went to the Business after Hours at
the Country Inn and Suites, and a Customer
Appreciation Banquet at the Gateway Centre.
Those were so much fun. There is always
a lot to do at the Business after Hours,
and there were a lot of people at this
particular one. Friday night, Cody and
I worked on this week’s Country Café.
We filmed from Chico’s Mexican Restaurant
and it was a great episode. We had to
pre-tape because I went to my Cousin Gloria’s
house with my parents to stay over on
our way to Charlotte for the Carolina
Panthers game. Sierra went with us to
the game, and it was a lot of fun, even
though I’m not a football fan. There
was one downside however; it was freezing
cold. Thank goodness the Panthers won.
The score was 16-6 Panthers. I have
a great week coming up, and I hope you
all do as well. I’ll talk to you next
week.

Hey everyone,
This has been a very exciting week. It
all started out on Sunday when I went
to the Pacers vs. Bobcats game. I used
to be a Bobcats fan when Sean May was
there, but he left and went to the Sacramento
Kings, so I am now an Indiana Pacers fan
because Tyler Hansborough plays for them.
That was so much fun, even though the
Pacers lost. The best part was after the
game. We went into the locker room and
I got to meet Roy Williams, the coach
of the Carolina Tarheels. I even got to
shake his hand. How awesome is that? That
was the best day ever. Monday began my
2 day school week due to the Thanksgiving
holiday. In my Public Speaking class,
we learned how to give a celebratory toast.
I can't wait to give one. That is going
to be so cool. Tuesday, I had a half day
because my English class was cancelled.
I love the days before the holidays. All
of the teachers are so lazy, so they cancel
class or end it early. Tuesday night,
Cody and I filmed our new Christmas intro
for the Christmas season. We had a lot
of fun doing it. The song is Santa Baby
by Taylor Swift. Wednesday and Friday
nights, we edited it, and it looks really
good. We unveiled it on the show Saturday
night and got a lot of great comments
on it. It will soon be on the web site,
so keep checking back. Thursday was Thanksgiving
Day. We went to Raleigh to my cousin's
house to celebrate it with my family.
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving,
and I hope you have a safe holiday season.
Saturday, my family went to dinner at
Hibachi to meet with someone my grandma
took care of who came into town. I don't
eat buffet, so it wasn't the highlight
of my day, but it was still fun. After
that, I went to the station for Country
Cafe. We had a great show. Like I said
earlier, we unveiled ine intro, which
was a great success. Justin came and visited
us as well. He took his Thanksgiving break
and spent it with us. That is so cool.
I was glad to see him. That is all for
this week, so off we go to another week.
I want to wish my best friend's sister
a Happy Birthday. She turns 15 on Sunday
so Happy Birthday to her. My birthday
month starts this week as well. I start
celebrating my birthday on December 1,
so it basically lasts all month. I can't
wait. I hope you all have a great week,
and I'll talk to you next week.

Hey everyone,
I have had a great week, and I hope you
all did as well. The week started out
Sunday night when I went to Silver Lake
with my dad's family. That was so much
fun, however, my cousins were having some
weird conversations that I am not going
to get into, because this is a G-Rated
web site. It is so great being the only
girl in the family. I don't really like
seafood, but they do have great fries.
The Tarheels also won on Sunday, so that
was a great day. Monday, however, was
not so great. Karaoke was packed, and
to say the least, it was miserable. I
was so ready for it to end. Karaoke had
never been so long in my lifetime. Tuesday,
I had no school. Spring registration was
going on for new students, so the teachers
were working with them to get them ready
for their classes. Wednesday, I had karaoke
at the Holiday Inn. At first, I wasn't
so excited about it because of my experience
on Monday night, but it turned out to
be SO much fun. There were so many great
singers there including Erin Strickland,
Ronnie Ezzell, Gerald Bunn, and even a
man that has been staying at the Holiday
Inn for 3 months. I laughed almost the
whole night. Thursday night, I went to
the Twin County Hall of Fame induction
banquet. The Twin County Hall of Fame
recognizes great people from the Twin
County area that have gone on to do great
things. They recognize athletes, motivational
speakers, and almost anything that is
honorable. I always have a lot of fun
at those, but unfortunately, they scheduled
it during a Carolina basketball game.
I had to leave early in order to watch
the game. They were playing Ohio State,
and won by only 4 points. We had a huge
lead, but Ohio State came back and almost
stole the game from us, but we pulled
it out in the final seconds. Friday, however,
wasn't such a great night. We did not
play as good as we could have (a.k.a.
we lost). You can't win them all, so we
got our loss out of the way early, so
now we don't have to worry about it. Saturday
morning, I was woke up early to go to
the Wilson Christmas Parade. Who has a
Christmas parade before Thanksgiving.
Apparently Wilson does. That was the best
Christmas Parade ever. It lasted 2 hours,
and there was so much dancing. I can't
wait til next year. We had a great Country
Cafe as well. We had a few calls and requests,
and we had a lot of fun. I hope you all
watched, and hope you will watch next
week. If you have never watched our show
before, you can watch us on WHIG-TV on
Saturday nights from 8-9:30. If you do
not receive WHIG-TV, you can click on
the Country Cafe link and watch us live
by clicking the button on the right that
says, "Watch WHIG-TV Live".
We hope you enjoy. I hope you all have
a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your
holiday and have a great week.

Hey everyone,
I have had a pretty exciting week, and
I hope you have too. Thursday night, I
went to the Business After Hours at Bailey's
Jewelry. That was a lot of fun. You chat
with a lot of business people from around
town, and they have food and drinks as
well. Later that night, I registered for
my classes for the spring semester. I
am taking developmental psychology, political
science, critical thinking, and world
civilizations. I am so excited for next
semester. I have 3 classes on campus,
and 1 online, and I only go to school
on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I
will have an 8:00 class, and I can't wake
up that early. Friday night, we went to
the Hurricanes game and lost 4-3 in overtime
to the Islanders. We were losing 3-0 in
the first period, but came back and tied
it 3-3 with 2:31 to go in the 3rd period.
Then in overtime, the Islanders scored
a goal with 15 seconds to go to take the
win. It was still a lot of fun though.
Maybe one of these days, we will win a
game. Saturday night, we had Country Cafe.
That was a lot of fun. We had a lot of
calls this week. Even my cousin Gloria
called from Salisbury, and some of Cody's
family called from Ohio. We are now a
National Show. Jk. That's going to wrap
up my blog for this week. Make sure you
visit my web site next week and read my
next blog. Have a great week.

Hey everyone,
I have had a great week. The highlight
of my week was when the Yankees won
the World Series. They are my second
favorite team, behind the Braves.
We won the series in 6 games and that
gave me 2 championships this year.
I was so excited, although it doesn't
beat when the Tarheels won the National
Championship back in April. This week,
I helped my cousin Gloria and my mom
prepare for the American Red Cross
Auction. That was a great success,
and a lot of fun. We did not have
Country Cafe this week due to the
fact that the Red Cross Auction was
airing. Make sure you watch us this
week. We have some new videos for
you all. We raised $5,000 for the
American Red Cross, and we still aren't
done. There are still probably 40
or 50 more items we have to sell.
We will finish the auction Friday
night on "The Early Late Show"
at 9:30. The Carolina basketball season
started Monday night. We played Florida
International and beat them 88-72,
so we started the season out great.
We also played in a throwback 1957
jersey. They looked so cool. I hope
we keep winning. We play our next
game Wednesday night against North
Carolina Central. Go Tarheels!!! Monday
night was also karaoke. We started
our Chickenshoot for a Turkey. I can't
believe Zaxby's let us shoot their
chicken. Oh well. That was a lot of
fun. Tuesday, I went to the Tarboro
Business Expo. That was a lot of fun,
and I'm glad I went. One of my loyal
blog readers and Country Cafe viewers,
David Brewer, asked me to mention
him in my blog, so here you go David.
Thanks for reading my blogs and watching
Country Cafe each week. I have a great
week coming up. I have no school on
Wednesday, due to Veteran's Day, so
that means I have a 3-day week this
week. I have a short week every week
up until Thanksgiving. I am so excited.
I hope you all have a great week.

Hey everyone,
This has been a great week, and I
hope yours was too. Sunday was the
last day of the fair, and we went
to see Eric Church. He sang my favorite
song of his. "Love Your Love
The Most." That was an awesome
concert. I hope you all went to the
fair. It was a lot of fun. I can't
wait until next year. Monday night
at Karaoke, we had our "Monster
Mash". There were so many great
costumes. I was an airplane pilot.
I wonder how many people would ride
my plane. That was a lot of fun. Friday
night, Cody and I went to the Southern
Nash vs. Rocky Mount football game.
I went to Southern Nash and he goes
to Rocky Mount, so this was our fight.
It was a great game, and came down
to the last minute, but Rocky Mount
won. I don't really like football,
but it was still fun. However, the
balcony of the press box was loaded
with spiders, and for those of you
that don't know, I am terrified of
spiders. They can kill me. Saturday
was halloween. I went to a party at
my cousins house, and that was fun.
I took Christian and Brandon Trick
or Treating, had a sausage dog, and
some candy. After the party, it was
time for our special Halloween episode
of Country Cafe. Since I was a pilot,
we decided to make it an airplane
theme, and Cody was a special passenger
as a Carolina Tar Heels basketball
player. That was so much fun. I think
it was one of our best shows yet.
I hope you all watched. Today, I went
to the Carolina Hurricanes game. Unfortunately,
we lost the game 5-1 though. It was
still a lot of fun. I was much warmer
than the last game I went to. Last
time, I was shaking. I am so excited,
the Yankees are in the World Series.
I am a huge Yankees fan, and I want
them to win so badly. They are up
2-1 in the series, and they are playing
as I am writing this. Make sure you
root for the Yankees. I have an exciting
week coming up, and I hope you all
had a safe Haloween, and have a great
November. I'll talk to you next week.

Hey everyone,
This has been a very fast, but great
week for me. I hope it was for all
of you as well. Wednesday was a busy
day. My day started out with my 3rd
speech in Public Speaking. I am halfway
through with my speeches. I am so
excited! I talked about how global
warming is affecting polar bears,
and how they can reduce the number
of polar bears killed from global
warming. Later on that day, Cody and
I went to the State Fair to film an
episode of Country Cafe. We only had
an hour due to a high school football
game, but the show turned out pretty
good anyway. We apologize if you missed
the first 30 minutes, because we had
to start at 7:30 in order to get an
hour. We will be back at 8:00 next
week. I beat Cody on the water guns
again. That makes like 4 in a row
now. He should probably keep his day
job. We went to the Julianne Hough
concert at the fair as well. That
was a lot of fun. She did a great
job. On Thursday, my English class
was cancelled, and the rest of my
research papers were also cancelled.
I was so glad when I found this out,
because those research essays were
difficult. Friday night, I went to
the Late Show. That was a great show,
and I had a lot of fun. Tonight, was
another night at the fair. We went
to see Blake Shelton this time. During
one of my favorite songs of his, Austin,
the microphone messed up, and he restarted
the song. I have never seen this done
before. That was funny. He also sang
the FreeCreditReport.com pirate
song. That is my favorite commercial
ever. He said that song makes him
a little emotional. That worries me.
Jk. Eric Church will close the fair
out. Cody and I have tickets to that
concert, and it will be a great one.
I hope I will see some of you guys
out there. It has been a fun 11 days,
and I'm sad to see it go. I expect
to have a great week, and hope you
do too. Make sure you watch Country
Cafe next Saturday night. We will
be back at 8:00 next week, and should
be live. I'll talk to you next week.

Hey everyone,
I have been so busy these past 2
weeks, that I haven't even had a chance
to write a blog. I apologize to my
faithful readers, and will try to
keep it updated each and every week.
Friday before last, I went to the
Hurricanes game. That was our second
win of the season, and I went to both
of those. I think I am their good
luck charm, because we have only won
the games I went to. Who thinks I
should go to every game? That Saturday
was the Down East Festival, which
was pretty fun, even though I’m
not much of a festival girl. I spent
most of the time at the BBQ Throwdown.
After that, we had Country Café.
That was so much fun, because we had
like 10 requests. We played like 3
of our own picks. Thank you to all
of the callers and make sure you watch
Country Café this week, on Saturday
night from 8:00-9:30. Monday and Tuesday
were my Fall Break. It was so much
fun because I had no school. I was
able to sleep in. Tuesday, Cody and
I filmed an episode of Country Café
from the Rocky Mount Fair. We rode
a camel, watched a bear show, and
Cody even rode a mechanical bull.
It was a lot of fun, and I even rode
a farris wheel for the first time.
Wednesday, I finished my Intro to
Film class. I was so sad. That was
my absolute favorite class ever. How
many classes do you get to watch a
movie in every day? Thursday was the
first day of the North Carolina State
Fair. That is one of my favorite times
of the year. I love the fair. We went
to see Jason Michael Carrol at the
Dorton Arena. That was an awesome
show. I love his new song, Hurry
Home. Friday, I went back to
the fair to see Third Day with Gloria,
Sierra, and her friend. That was a
much better concert than I expected.
I have never been to a Christian concert
before, but I’m glad I went to that
one. Saturday, was originally supposed
to be day 3 at the fair, but instead,
we went to my Aunt’s house for a
family bonfire. We roasted hot dogs,
took a hay ride, then we roasted marshmallows
and made smores. That was so much
fun. I saw some of my cousins and
friends like Jett, Christian, Coleton,
Gloria, Sierra, and a lot of others.
Tonight, I went to the Fair for the
third time, I saw Jamey Johnson, and
it wasn’t totally boring. I have
been to better concerts in my life,
but this wasn’t the worst either.
I have a great week coming up, including
some more great concerts at the fair.
If you haven’t been to the fair,
you should go sometime this week.
It ends this Sunday, the 25th, so
hurry up. I’ll talk to you next
week.

Hey everyone,
I have had an awesome week, and I hope
you have too. Friday morning, I woke
up at 5:30 am to go to Myrtle Beach with
Jett and Christian. That was SO much
fun. Friday, as soon as we got there,
Christian wanted to see Toy Story in
3D, so we went to see that with him.
I haven’t seen that movie since I was
like 7 years old. It is definitely a
classic. After the movie, we went back
to the condo and hung out for the rest
of the night. Saturday we woke up early
to go on the beach for photos. After
that we went shopping and on the way back
to the condo we saw the best sign we had
ever seen. See there is no internet at
the condo so we were stuck there all weekend
with no internet. The sign we saw was
at Duncan Doughnuts and said free wi fi.
So we went to duncan doughnuts for about
an hour. The sad thing is that was the
highlight of the trip. Sunday was so sad.
We had to leave and come back home. Karaoke
Monday night was awesome. David was back
and did a really good job of dj'ing.
I've missed him. Gerald is good, but just
not the same. Last night, I went to the
Hurricanes game with Wayne and Landon.
It was so much fun. It went to a shootout.
That was cool. I had never seen that before.
Today, I had my last film class before
the exam. I'm gonna miss that class.
It was so much fun. We watched a lot of
good movies. This week fall break starts
and should be really exciting. Make sure you
watch Country Cafe Saturday night. It
will be our last live show for a while.
Thats about all for now. Have a wonderful
week!

Hey Everyone,
So I guess Wednesday is the new blog
day. This past week has been lots of fun.
Today, I watched Rebel Without A Cause
in my film class. That was a really good
movie, even though it was made in 1955.
James Dean is the best. I've never seen
him before this movie. It should be a
requirement to watch that movie at some
point in your life. Last Wednesday was
also a good day - there must be something
about Wednesdays. Last Wednesday, I gave
my speech in my public speaking class.
That was the easiest 9 minutes I have
ever talked. I am giving a persuasive
speech next, and I have no idea what topic
I should choose to talk about. Gloria
came to visit us last week. It's always
great fun when she comes. I love her.
She helped me so much last week. I had
to write a paper on this book that I did
not understand at all in my World Lit
class. She took the time to help me with
that. That was so nice of her. On Thursday,
The Relay For Life banquet was
held. It was not as good as last year,
but WHIG got tons of awards. That was
awesome. Over the weekend, I got so sick.
Somebody gave me their cold, and it was
horrible. I lost my voice, and couldn't
talk, and I love talking so I was so sad.
Saturday was the worst. I was so sick,
and had to spend half the day outside
in the cold and then do Country Cafe.
MNO was on Saturday night. It was
a party, so much fun. They had this awesome
parade. I've never seen a parade there
before, I've never seen a parade like
that. Unfortunately, I had to leave early
to go to the station to do Country
Cafe. There were a lot of prank calls
on the show. Unfortunately for them, things
didn't turn out so well. You should never
prank call a show, you can get in more
trouble than you think. Thanks for the
support of those who watched the show
to call in with a request or just to say
hi. We love hearing from you guys. One
of our most loyal viewers was in the hospital,
an was unable to watch us Saturday night
and we hope he is feeling better. He still
called us, so good to hear he's ok. Monday
night's karaoke was fun. We had a couple
of singers that are hardley ever there.
It's always good to hear different people.
We pretaped Country Cafe last night from
my office, and I made the mistake of doing
it again. I'm saying it again, and I'm
sticking to it this time. I am not filming
from my office again. This week, I learned
that I tweet way too much. The good thing
is I have quit tweeting what I am currently
doing. It's much more fun and interesting
to tweet random things and positive quotes.
Do I really want people to know what I
am currently doing anyway? What if someone
was stalking me, plus by the time people
read it, I more than likely won't be doing
it any longer. It would be bad if I said
I was at the mall and you got it 2 hours
later and went to the mall, I probably
wouldn't be there. I would feel so bad.
I can't believe it's October already.
I have so much to do. October is packed
for me. I am halfway through the semester
now, and my film class ends in like 2
weeks. It's so sad. I'm going to miss
that class. I have a very exciting week
coming up, especially this weeked. Country
Cafe is pretaped this Saturday, make
sure you watch it, hopefully, it will
be good. That's about all for now. Have
a wonderful week!

Hey Everyone,
I have had a pretty exciting week. Thursday,
I went to IHOP for dinner and ate pancakes.
They were so great. If you haven't had
them, you should try them. Friday, I went
to a raffle in Wilson. It was an event
for the Wilson Chamber of Commerce, but
unfortunately, I didn't win the grand
prize. They had the best food, and it
was a lot of fun. Saturday, we went shopping
at the mall, which was fun. I love shopping,
if I get something. Country Cafe was a
rerun because Evan was sick and had to
leave early, therefore, Cody and I went
to Chico's instead of doing the show.
The show would not have been very good
without a board operator. Sunday, we went
to Parker's Barbeque for a family dinner
with Jett and my mom's cousin from Florida,
Ginger. That was a very interesting lunch.
Sunday night, I was stuck watching the
Cowboy's game, and they lost. If I am
going to have to watch football, my team
should at least win it. Monday, I missed
my film class because we went to lunch
with Ginger before she went back to Florida.
Monday night was time karaoke night at
Zaxby's. That was fun, and there were
some great singers this week. Tuesday,
I spent all day getting ready for my speech.
I had to finish my outline, get all my
sources together, and practice the speech.
Hopefully, I will get a good grade, and
it will all be worth it. Last week, I
took a mid-term in my film class and I
found out that I got a perfect score on
my essay. I was so shocked because you
aren't supposed to be able to get an A
on her essays, but I got a perfect score.
I am so proud of myself. Well I have a
very exciting week coming up, and I hope
you all do too. Make sure you watch Country
Cafe Saturday Night at 8. Have a great
week!

Hey everyone,
This week has been a great
week. Wednesday night, I went
to Outback Steakhouse after
my mom, Herb and Lanny filmed
a Business Focus there. Their
food is so good, especially
the Mac-A-Roo and Cheese.
What kind of name is that?
Not fun to order. I love Thursdays.
It is my last day of school
for the week. I love not having
school on Fridays. Fridays
are my sleep days. It's the
one day of the week I can
sleep til 2. Saturday, I had
Country Cafe. It was a great
show. Justin showed up and
surprised us. It was the first
time we have seen him since
he left for State. I've missed
him. It was so much fun. Monday
began one of the craziest
weeks ever. The county is
putting in water pipes all
the way down our road. They
decided to do our part of
the road this week. I have
not been able to get in my
driveway all week. The construction
workers know me by now. They
cut our phone lines and cable
wires. So I've had no phone,
internet, or TV. I'm just
waiting for the power to go
out. How important are water
pipes anyway? I had my midterm
in my intro to film class
today. I can't believe that
class is almost over. I only
have four more weeks in that
class. That's only 8 more
classes, really 7 factoring
Fall Break. I'm gonna miss
that class. Tonight, I went
to karaoke at the Holiday
Inn. The second karaoke this
week. I can hardley handle
once a week, so thank God
the second one is only once
a month. I hit tweet number
1,000 this week. I'm so excited.
That took a lot of work. Very
eventful week coming up. Country
Cafe is live on Saturday.
Justin won't be there, but
it will still be fun. Make
sure you watch. That's about
all for now. Have a wonderful
week.

Hey Everyone,
This has been a really exciting
week. Thursday, I had Cracker
Barrell with Cody and the
family. Their French Toast
is so good, but I had to watch
Cody do his math homework.
That was boring. Jk. Friday,
I had no school of course
and woke up at 2:00. I felt
bad because Cody had been
up for basically the entire
day already. Luckily it was
only 11 in California, so
I woke up at my normal time.
Saturday, I was woke up to
go to Raleigh at 11, but we
didn't end up going until
about 2 or 3, so we didnt
have time to shop. We did
go to the Cheesecake Factory
though. Their pizza is the
best. Loves it! When I got
back from Raleigh, it was
time for Country Cafe. We
had a great show, with a lot
of new good videos. There
were a lot of requests so
we want to thank everyone
who called in. Sunday, me
and Cody went to see All About
Steve. That was a great movie.
It was about a crossword puzzle
maker who was set up on a
blind date, but the guy doesnt
like her, and she follows
him around because she thinks
he does. After the movie,
I went to a Mudcats game with
Cody. We got there in the
8th inning, but there were
fireworks, so it was worth
it. We won 1-0. Monday was
Labor Day, which meant no
school. However, I spent all
day writing a paper on a play
called "Tartuffe."
That was really interesting.
I am good at writing papers
though, so that helped. Research
papers are no fun at all.
This week's karaoke was the
first one that was not the
Summer Sing-Off. I was so
happy. During the contest,
it was way too packed in there.
There were some great singers
this week though. Also, Michael
brought his new limousine
out to show the audience what
they could be riding in if
they won a drawing we are
having next week. I wish I
could win. Today, after class,
I spent almost the entire
afternoon making my outline
for my speech. I am doing
it on the steps to make a
movie. That was hard b/c there
is so much to talk about with
film production. I finally
finished and that has been
my week. I'll talk to you
all next Tuesday. Have a great
week.

Hey Everyone,
A lot of exciting things are
happening lately. First of
all on Wednesday I had my first
speech in my public speaking
class. I learned that I can
not describe myself with three
words for more than a minute.
Thursday I got the chance to
take a ride in Michael Davis's
new limo which is awesome. It's
my favorite he has had. Also
on Thursday and Friday we attempted
to pretape an episode of Country
Cafe. Unfortunately the rain
interfered and we had to stop.
Saturday night's show was great.
We had so much fun. The show
was sponsored by Zaxby's Saturday
night and they have the best
chicken. Everyone should eat
there. Sunday was the best day
ever. Cody and I went to the
Kenny Chesney concert. The weather
was perfect. I got the opportunity
to go backstage and Meet Lady
Antebellum which is my favorite
band. That was really fun. They
are super nice and are really
good performers. After we watched
them, Miranda Lambert came on
and then Kenny. He has one of
the best shows there is. His
concert is like one big party
so much better than everybody
else's. So that was the highlight
of the week. The Summer Sing
Off ended Monday night at karaoke.
I have never been so glad of
anything in my life. Marvin
Stone won with Erin Strickland
coming in 2nd. Now maybe it
won't be so crowded. That's
about all for now. Don't forget
to watch Country Cafe Saturday
night at 8. Have a great week!!

Hey Everyone,
Blog number 26. That is half
a year. It doesn't seem like I've
been doing this that long. This
past week has been super busy since
school started and all. Have you
ever seen a silent film? We watched
one in my Intro To Film class on
Wednesday. We saw City Lights, and I
thought it was going to be extremely
boring, but I was wrong. It was
one of the funniest movies I have
ever seen. On Thursday Cody twisted
his knee, I felt so bad for him,
he couldn't walk at all hardley.
Cody and I went to see Post Grad
on Friday afternoon. It was a great
movie. Alexis Bledel is a really
good actress. Saturday I went to
Plymouth to go to the weigh in for
my dads fishing tournament. It was
horrible weather. It was raing so
hard everybody was dripping wet,
like they just got out of the pool.
The thunder and lightning wasn't
good either. The bad thing is that
the weigh in is outside rain or
shine. Of course fishermen fish
in weather like that, so it really
doesn't matter. I think that is
crazy personally, but these guys
make it work so I think that is
great. Country Cafe was back on
at 8 on Saturday night. It was Evan's
first night, and he didn't fall
for our prank. He wouldn't even
come on TV. We have to work on that.
We had so many requests, which we
were really glad to get, because
we want to play what you want to
watch. Sunday, I went shopping at
Southpoint Mall in Durham. I love
that mall. They have a chocolate
store. What could be better than
that? They have the best chocolate
covered strawberries ever. It was
back to school on Monday as usual
and today was the first day for
Nash-Rocky Mount students. It was
my cousins first day of kindergaren.
He is so cute. I am so excited.
The day we have all been waiting
for is almost here. The Kenny Chesney
concert is this Sunday and I can't
wait. Make sure you watch Country
Cafe Saturday night at 8. Thats
about all. Have a fun week!!

Hey Everyone,
Hope you all had a great week. I
did too, but it started out kinda sad.
My Grandma's cousin died Wednesday morning.
So sad. But other than that, my week
has been great. Friday, I saw the movie
The Time Traveler's Wife with my friend
Brittany. I really didn't like the movie,
who really wants to know when they are
going to die. And it was way to hard
to keep up with. I still had fun though.
Saturday night, we had our first Country
Cafe without Justin. I almost cried,
jk, but it was sad. R.J. was our technician,
and he is new, so our show was messed
up, but he got used to it after while,
so we apologize for the beginning. After
the show, we went to one of my favorite
restaurants, Olive Garden. The food
was great, but while we were eating,
some really rude people came and sat
next to us. Monday morning was a great
day. I have been out of school for 3
months, so I was ready to go back. I
had public speaking and film studies.
I am really going to like public speaking.
I like talking in front of people, so
this class was made for me. Jk. Film
studies is also very interesting. That
is what I want to do when I grow up
and this class will teach me a lot.
Karaoke this week wasn't as fun though.
Idk why. I can't wait to find out who
the winner is. Tuesday, I got to see
my favorite teacher ever, Mrs. Pitt.
Math is my favorite subject. Well core
subject at least. This is my last math
class ever, which makes me happy and
sad. I also had World Lit. My last English
class ever too. Yay!!!!. Well I hope
this week is as good as last. I have
1 and a half weeks until the Kenny Chesney
concert, which i got my tickets for
Monday. I am so excited. That's all
for now. Have a great week.

Hey Everyone,
I hope everyone had a great week. I'm
so excited this week, it's my last
week before school starts, and it also
marks 3 weeks 'til the Kenny Chesney
concert. August is a great month. The
first week of it was so much fun. I
went to Pizza Inn on Thursday, and saw
my favorite waiter ever. It was the
first time I've seen him in forever.
He is back for the summer from college.
I've missed him. On Thursday, Twitter
got hacked into, which was not fun for
me. I couldn't Tweet all day long, how
does that happen? Luckily it was back
up that night. On Friday night, I went
to my cousin's birthday party. He turned
5 years old and is so cute. There were
way to many kids there though, and there
was water involved, not good. On Saturday,
Country Cafe was pretaped. We filmed
right outside our studios, and it was
Justin's last show. We are going to
miss him, but we have a new technician
now. His name is Evan, and hopefully
he will be just as good. Country Cafe
also came on at its new time for the
first time Saturday night. The new time
is 7:30 pm. We are sorry that we did
not announce it if you missed the first
30 minutes. Monday was a good day. Byron came
to visit us from West Virginia. He used
to sing Karaoke when we had it at Chico's,
and he was so good. Unfortunatly he
moved away and quit. He came back to
visit, and we are so glad he did. He
was the special guest at Karaoke on
Monday night which was packed. Actually
it was overpacked. I don't think one
more person could even fit one arm in
there. I've never seen so many people
in there. You couldn't even move. The
contest is turning out great. I cant
wait to see who the winner will be.
This week, I have a lot to do to get
ready for classes next week. So thats
what I'll be doing. Dont forget to watch
Country Cafe at its new time this week:
7:30. Don't miss it. I hope you all
have a great week!!

Hey everyone,
I am so excited
to tell you
all about
last week.
Wednesday,
I went to
the library
for the last
time this
summer to
see Sylvan
Heights, one
of my favorite
places ever.
After that,
I had the
best week
ever. I left
Wednesday
afternoon
for Pennsylvania
and stayed
til Sunday
afternoon.
It was so
much fun.
We went to
the Amish
Country, and
I have to
be honest,
I was a little
dissapointed
when I found
out thats
where we were
going. When
we were talking
about where
we were going,
we had almost
decided on
New York,
and I love
New York,
so I really
wanted to
go. Plus,
the Amish
Country sounds
really boring,
so when I
was told thats
where we were
going, I was
not happy.
I was completely
wrong. That
was better
than New York,
and I'm so
glad we went
there. On
Thursday,
our first
day there,
we did so
many fun things.
We took a
tour of this
Mennonite
farm. That
was so interesting,
I learned
a lot about
dairy farming.
I even got
the chance
to milk a
cow. That
was so much
fun, and we
had an awesome
tour guide.
On Thursday
night, I took
a hot air
balloon ride
over Lancaster
Couny. That
was fun. I
could see
everything.
The best part,
however, was
not the ride,
but the landing.
We landed
in the middle
of an Amish
Farm. I now
love Amish
People, they
were so nice
and the kids
were so cute.
Friday, we
did some shopping
and took a
ghost tour,
which was
not very scary.
Saturday was
the best.
We went to
Hershey, PA,
the sweetest
place on earth!
The whole
town was supposed
to smell like
chocolate,
but it didn't.
We went to
Hershey's
Chocolate
World and
had a blast.
There was
so much to
do and I have
never seen
so much chocolate.
It was like
Heaven, it
smelled so
good. We saw
how chocolate
was made and
learned a
lot. When
we left Hershey,
we went back
to Lancaster
County and
rode the Strasburg
Railroad.
That was awesome.
I had never
riden on a
train before.
Sunday, unfortunatly,
we came home.
I didn't want
to leave.
It was the
best place
ever. The
one bad thing
was the food.
All they have
is buffets,
yuck! Country
Café
was at the
beach Saturday
night. I hope
everybody
watched. We
did so much,
and it came
out great.
Make sure
you watch
this Saturday
also. That's
about all
for now. Have
a great week!!

Hey Everyone,
This past
week went
by really
fast. On Wednesday,
I went to
the library
with Cody
to film
Birdman Dave.
If only I
was a kid
again. Jk.
That was interesting.
I learned
so much about
birds. I now
want a parakeet,
and I want
it to talk
to me. Thursday
was another
early day.
I have gotten
up so early
a lot this
summer, and
I hate mornings,
so I’m ready
for school
to start.
Friday was
a very eventful
day. I
got woke up
at 7 am b/c
the station
was off the
air. Our equipment
got hit by
lightning
on Thursday
night, and
unfortunately
didn’t turn
out so good.
So many programs
did not air.
Luckily it
was back on
in time for
Country
Café.
We had a great
show. We had
so many requests, and
it was a lot
of fun. Thanks for
all the calls. Oh
yeah, I have
to tell ya’ll
this. On Saturday,
I washed my
car. Yes,
I, myself,
washed it. Yes,
you can laugh
now, but it’s
true, and
it looks so
clean. I did
good. Monday
night’s
karaoke was
great, and
the votes
are in. I
am so excited
for the winner. That
person is
my favorite. Tune
in next Monday
to see who
won. This
coming week
is going to
be so much
fun. Lots
of exciting
stuff going
on. I’ll
tell you all
about it next
week. Make
sure you watch
Country
Café
on Saturday
night. We shot
this episode
at Nags Head.
Lighthouses,
sand, sun,
and the beach
makes for
a great show,
so don’t
miss it. That’s
about all
for now. Have
a great week!

Hey Everyone,
Hope
everyone is
doing well this
week. I learned
something very
interesting
Friday night.
I learned how
to peel a banana
like a monkey.
It was so funny.
I hope you watched
Country Cafe
on Saturday
night. It was
a great show.
We missed Justin,
but Lee did
a great job
on the board.
We went to Ribeyes
on Sunday. That
is one of the
best restaurants
ever. If you
haven't been,
you should really
go. Monday night's
Karaoke was
great. The singers
get better every
week. Some of
them are so
talented. That's
about all I've
done. It may sound
like I haven't
done that much,
but I have really
been busy. I
just realized
that I have
made almost
500 updates
on Twitter.
That's crazy.
You guys should
follow Country
Cafe on Twitter.
It's the best
place to find
out what's going
on with the
show. You
can get there
from the Coutry
Cafe page on
this website,
and while you're
there, watch
our new intro
and tell us
what you think.
You can also
go to twitter.com/countrycafewhig.
We have a bunch
of new videos
to play this
Saturday so
make sure you
watch the show.
Thats about
all for now.
Have a good
and safe week!

Hey everyone,
This
is my 20th blog.
That's like almost
5 months. That's
a really long
time. This past
week has been
very long. My
aunt died Saturday
morning, and
that just ruined
the whole day.
On Saturday night,
we had a great
Country Cafe.
Cody's sister,
Catie, was on
there, and it
was so much fun. I
finally got my
new phone on Sunday.
I'm so excited.
I got a "Blackberry
Storm", and
it is so awesome.
I have fallen
in love with it.
Monday morning,
I registered for
my classes for
the fall semester.
As usual, I have
a great schedule.
I'm so glad I
got Mrs. Pitt
again for my last
math class ever.
I am so happy,
although I'm going
to miss math,
it's my best subject.
I also signed
up for public
speaking. I am
so excited about
that class. I'm
also taking my last
english class
ever. The last
class I signed
up for was intro
to film. I think
that class will
be a lot of fun. Monday
night, Karaoke
at Zaxby's was
really good. We
had a great winner.
Some of the singers
there are really
talented. Tuesday night,
I spent all night
at the funeral
home, and all
morning Wednesday
at the funeral.
On Wednesday afternoon,
I went to the
library with Cody
while he taped
"Snakes Alive."
Speaking of Cody,
he is a really
good assistant.
It's so much fun
having someone
do everything
for you. Although
I've never really
done anything
for myself, it's
still fun. This week
is already almost
over, sorry for
the late blog.
Because it's so
late, this week
will be slow since
its already Thursday.
That's about all
for now. Make
sure you watch
Country Cafe on
Saturday night,
and I'll update
next week. Have
a great week!

Hey everyone
I hope everyone
is doing well. It's
been a great week.
I've done a lot
since my last blog.
On Wednesday, I
took Sierra to
see The Proposal,
and it was
just as good as
the first time I
saw it. I spent
most of the rest
of the week working on
the intro. I went
to see the fireworks
Friday night since
I wouldn't be able
to Saturday nignt
because of the
show. I had a great
4th of July. We
went swimming and
had a small cookout
with just the family,
then of course Country
Cafe. We had a great
Country Cafe Saturday
night. It was the
4th of July and
we played all patriotic
videos. We also
premiered the new
intro. That was
a huge success,
everybody loves
it. We worked so
hard on it, so I'm
glad they did. We
did our usual thing
and finished it
at the last minute
so we had some corrections
to make, so that's
what I spent Sunday
doing. Today was
the worst day of
the week. I spent
most of the afternoon
watching Michael
Jackson's Memorial
Service. It was
a beautiful service.
I was never a Michael
Jackson fan but
the service made
me realize he wasnt
completly bad. I
was ok until his
daughter spoke at
the end. That was
the worst part,
it was so sad. At
this very moment
I am watching Beverly
Hills Chihuahua
and it is the worst
movie ever. That's
about all for now
so have a good week.

Hey Everyone,
I hope you all
had a good week. I've
had an interesting
week. I went to see
The Proposal
Wednesday night after
dance. It is a great
movie. I don't think
I stopped laughing
the whole time. If
you haven't seen it,
it's a must. On Friday,
I went swimming and
got bitten by a horsefly.
Who gets bitten by
a horsefly? I now
hate them, it was
not fun. On Saturday
morning, we left for
the beach. We filmed
Country Cafe at Nags
Head. The first thing
we did was see Bodie
Island Lighthouse,
and that was the worst
part of the trip.
After my foot was
already hurting from
the horsefly, I stepped
on a cactus with
the same foot. They
are not even supposed
to be there, it's
not a desert. If you
have never stepped
on a cactus, I don't
recommend it. It hurts,
and it still hurts
three days later. I
think the best part
of the trip was when
we went to Cape Hatteras.
We got to climb it,
and it was so much
fun. I've never walked
up so many steps in
my life. It's the
tallest brick lighthouse
in the world, so it
was tall. They said
climbing it was equivalent
to walking up a twelve
story building. It's
a good thing I'm not
scared of heights.
We also went to see
Jocky's Ridge before
we left. We climbed
one of the dunes for
the show, and I think
that was worse than
climbing the lighthouse,
but yet it wasn't
half as big. I can't
believe it's already
July, although June
did go by pretty slow.
We are getting ready
for our 4th of July
show on Saturday night.
How cool is it that
the 4th falls on Saturday
this year. I'm so
excited. I also can't
believe Michael Jackson
died. He was someone
who was supposed to
live forever. I never
pictured him dying.
He will be missed.
I also can't believe
Billy Mays died. Who's
going to do all of
those commercials
now? As someone said,
"They say celebrities
die in threes, leave
it to Billy Mays to
throw an extra one
in completely free."
That's about all for
now. Have a great
week!

Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing
well. I'm great in case anybody was wondering.
I had a really fun week this past week. First of
all, on Wednesday, I went to a Merle
Haggard concert. I'm not a Merle Haggard
fan, but he is a legend. Of course I
also had dance on Wednesday. We finally
learned what we were doing wrong in the
flips, so we should be getting better
at that. Then on Thursday, I went to
see Beatlemania. Honestly, I wasn't a Beatle
fan either, but I'm starting to like their
music. They didn't sing "Yellow
Submarine" though, which is my favorite
Beatle song. Then there was Friday,
it was the best day of the week. I went
to the Keith Urban/Sugarland concert.
(Wheeler would kill me if he knew I started
those sentences with then, and he wasn't
even my English teacher.) That was so
much fun. I didn't think Sugarland would
be that good, but they basically put
on their own concert. As usual, Keith
Urban was great. He is so fan oriented.
If you haven't been to one of his shows,
it's a must. On Saturday, we had our first
live episode of Country Cafe in three
weeks. It was so much fun. We had so many
phone calls. We love talking to the viewers
and taking their requests so thanks to
everyone that called in. Sunday was Father's
Day, and I hope all the fathers had a
good one. We took my dad to Lonestar for
Father's day. Idk why, but it is one
of his favorite places. Karaoke was great
fun on Monday night. We had a luau, and
everyone was all dressed up, I think
it's the best one we've had in a while.
We had a lot of new singers, so that was
good. Today we filmed Country Cafe by
the pool. It's always so much fun when
theres water involved. There are so many
great opportunities, jk. We also filmed
the first part of our brand new intro
today. That was a blast. We had to do
it like fifty times but I think it will
come out pretty good. Now I know why
artist spend all day shooting a four
minute video, it's rather complicated.
Looking back on this week, it's a good
thing I like music. Hopefully this week
will just as much fun. To find out what
happens, read the next volume. The End!
Ok, I'm done with my book now, jk. Have
a great week!!

Hey Everyone,
I just finished watching
the CMT Awards. They were pretty good.
I think Taylor Swift was in them a little
too much, but it was a good show. I was
glad Brad Paisley won Male Video and Toby
Keith sang "God Love Her," which is
one of my favorite songs. It has been
a short week. I went to Salisbury this
past weekend. That was a lot of fun. I
went to a Fundraiser Festival for the
Childrens Home there, and it was hot.
I'm not one of those people that like
festivals, but the band was good. I have
also become obsessed with twitter in the
last couple of weeks. I'm always on there,
it's so weird, and you can now follow
Country Cafe on twitter so make sure you
do that. So, its been a few weeks since
I hired Cody as my personal assistant,
and he is doing a really good job. He
gets me things that I need, like refills
on drinks or what not. He also does my
schedule, so I always know what I'm doing
and when I'm doing it. I could get used
to this. I hope everybody watched Country
Cafe saturday night. We gave a tour of
the station. I didn't get to see it, but
it was pretty fun taping it. The most
exiting thing last week was still the
Kenny Chesney tickets. I am so excited.
This week is a busy week for me. On Wednesday
I am going to see Merle Haggard, who I
have never seen in concert. On Thursday,
I am going to see Beatlemaina. And Friday,
the best day of the week, I am going to
the Keith Urban/Sugarland concert, which
should be so much fun. Then on Saturday,
we are doing Country Cafe live for the
first time in forever, so I can't wait
for that. I would also like to wish a
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads,
especially mine. So lots to do this week.
Loves it. That's about all for now, so
have a great week!

Hey Everyone,
This past week has been awesome. I
went to Lake Gaston this past weekend.
We left Thursday and came home Sunday.
We had a lot of fun. We stayed in the
best cabin ever. My loft was huge. It
rained there all day Friday, but other
than that it was good weather. We went
boat riding Saturday, and I almost got
thrown off the boat once, so that was
fun. I was ready to go home on Sunday
though, I missed Trixie. On Country Cafe Saturday night,
we were stuck in a elevator. That was
not fun. It was so hot in there, I could
barley breath. It was interesting. On
Monday we celebrated all the seniors graduating.
I am so excited. Today, I bought Kenny Chesney
tickets. I am so ready for the concert.
It's not summer without a Kenny Chesney
concert. Tonight I went to my cousin's
preschool graduation. Those kids were
so cute. Then we all went to Cracker Barrel,
they have really good food. I have a lot
to do this week. Make sure you watch Country
Cafe Saturday night, we are giving a tour
of the tv station. You never know what
you'll see there. Thats about all for
now. Have a great week!

Hey Everyone,
This past week, I had a lot of fun. Sierra
came this weekend and that was fun. i didn't
see her that much though; I was a little
busy. On Saturday, I went boat riding at
Lake Gaston. It was me, my mom, dad, and
Herb. It was so much fun. There were way
to many boats out there though. My cousin,
Timmy, came to karaoke on Monday night,
so that was a surprise. I'm a little sad,
not really, but yeah. I just found out
through twitter that Paris Hilton stole
my phrase: "loves it." Ok, I'm
sure she didnt steal it, but I didnt know
she said that, so that was interesting. This
week will hopefully be fun. Gloria is coming,
which is always pretty cool. Country Cafe
is pretaped this week. We don't know where
we will be pretaping yet though, unless
you are reading this after wednesday. In
that case, we have already pretaped. Wednesday
is Cody's last day of school, and he is
excited about that, so thats good. I've
also learned that he is no help at all.
JK. BTW, I hired Cody as my personal assistant,
and he has to do everything for me now.
Thats huge, I'm copying Paris Hilton now
:). That's all for now. Have a great week!

Hey Everyone,
This past week
has been crazy. Last Wednesday, I
went to Myrtle Beach. It
was a lot of fun, we stayed
right across the street
from Starbucks. I was
a little stupid and got
burnt and it hurt really
bad. We went to the dixie
stampede while we were there
and that was a lot of fun.
It was a really good show
and the food was good, although
I missed the forks and stuff
when they made us eat with
our hands. On Saturday,
my cousin decided to have
a yard sale, so I had to
get up super early at like
8, but then I went home
at 12 and slept like the
rest of the day. Then on
Country Cafe, Justin announced
he graduated and got into
State, which im still questioning
his sanity about that, jk. On
Monday, I spent like all
day almost at the house
with the hostage and that
was fun, even though my
mom was terrified. We celebrated
Dean's last night on karaoke
on Monday night, and it
was kinda sad. We're gonna
miss him; but on the plus
side, there was cake. This
week Country Cafe is pretaped
from the City Lake, so hopefully
that will be a good episode.Tthats
about all for now, have
a great week!

Hey Everyone,
Another week another
blog. This is my 12th blog. It doesn't
seem like I've been writing them that
long. This past week has been a lot fun.
On Saturday I took new pictures for the
website, they were really good. The funniest
thing happened right before Country Cafe started
on Saturday night. Right before we went
on, the table broke. We were celebrating
Cody's birthday and when the table broke
the cake almost went on his head. That
was pretty funny. After the show we went
to sluggers with Sierra and that was fun.
I won and then went to Applebees. On
Sunday I went to my cousin's
birthday party and got saved from a 2
year old by a 4 year old. Don't judge
me. Today was Cody's birthday, he got
his license and I swear he hit my car.
jk. This week is going to be so much
fun. Its Memorial day, and we are having
a cookout and Country Cafe on Saturday
so that should be fun. Thats about all
for now. Have a great week!

Hey Everyone,
So I just got
home from dance and that was a lot of
fun. We are starting to do the flips
now so that's interesting. My summer
break has finally started and I'm having
so much fun. I went to Edenton on Saturday
for the Jason Aldean Concert and that
was a lot of fun. We had really good seats
and he put on a great show. We also had
a special episode of Country Cafe for
Mother's Day on Saturday night. This week
on the show we are celebrating Cody's
Birthday. I doubt we will have cake.
We have a lot of stuff for everyone
to look forward to this summer. First
of all we are taking Country Cafe on
the road and shooting away from Rocky
Mount. Also, we will be shooting some
more videos through B & C Productions.
We haven't picked the songs yet but
we are working on it. There are some
more surprises as well but you'll
have to watch to see them. That's about
all for now. Have a great week!

Hey Everyone,
This past week was a mixture
of a lot of fun and a lot of not
so fun. On Monday we had the very
first karaoke at Zaxby's. That
was so much fun and the food was
so much better than the moose.
Everybody should go on Monday.
Then Tuesday was like the worst
day of the week. I hurt my foot
so i couldnt walk til like saturday.
I had to miss dance and everything.
I had my first exam on Thursday
in English and I hope I did good
on it. Saturday was the one year
anniversary of Country Cafe. That
was a lot of fun. We showed some
of our best moments and had cake.
We had some really good callers
too. Then after the show we all
went to sluggers and that was
fun.
This week is a very special
week. First of all my last day
of classes is Tuesday and I am
SO excited. On Saturday we are
going to the Jason Aldean Concert
in Edenton so that should be fun.
Most importantly Sunday is Mothers
Day. It the most important day
of the year for mothers so don't
forget your mom next Sunday and
Happy Mother's day to all the
Mothers out there. Have a great
week!!!

Hey Everyone,
This past week not a lot was
going on. It's the end of the semester
and all my classes are coming to
an end so I have exams to study
for. I sprainged my foot today and
can't walk so thats not good. We
did Country Cafe from the beach
last saturday. It was a good episode
except none of the Country Cafe
team was there. Cody was out of
town and Justin had something to
do. With no Justin we had a new
technician, Jason. He did really
good. We should all be back this
week so make sure you watch. The
Hurricanes won round one, now its
off to the cup. Pretty excited about
that even though I'm not a hockey
fan. I'm out now so have a good
week!

Hey everyone,
Once again I'm writing this on
Wednesday night so sorry its late.
Its the end of the semester and
so I have been doing a ton of work
and writing quite a few papers.
I'm almost done, only one and a
half more weeks. Yay!!!! So obviously
you know that I haven't done very
much this past week. We did Country
Cafe live this past saturday and
that was fun. We had a great show.
This week we are pretaped. We shot
this episode from Atlantic Beach
a couple weeks ago. It was a lot
of fun, just wet. I think it rained
the entire time we were there. So
that should be a pretty good episode.
Thats about all for now. Have a
great week!
This weekend is a really big weekend.
The Relay for Life event is this
weekend and WHIG has a tent so I
will be there almost all of friday
and saturday. I think it will be
a lot of fun and its for a good
cause.

Hey Everyone,
So I just left the UNC game at Barton
College against the Cyclone All-Stars.
It was so much fun. All the
seniors from UNC were there except
Tyler Hansbrough. I got to interview
all of them. Bobby Frasor, Mike
Copeland, Danny Green, and OMG, Patrick
Moody. I was so excited he was
there. It was a blowout game.
This week I don't really have a lot
going on; especially since I'm writing
this Wednesday night. I have
Country Cafe on Saturday night, and
it's our one year anniversary, so
make sure you watch it. Have
a great week!

Hey Everyone,
I'm sure you all know what this blog
is going to be about so ill just get to
it. OMG. We Are NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
the best in the country.YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I am SO Excited and SO Happy right now.
Carolina is the best of the best. We won
89-72 which is pretty good and omg Moody
got to play. I love him, he is awesome.
He is a bencher or a walk on if you dont
know who he is. Thats the great news but
the sad news is that Tyler Hansbrough,
Danny Green, Mike Copeland, Bobby Frasor
and Patrick Moody are leaving. Thats ok
though b/c there are still some pretty
good players that will be there next year
and the Tarheels will be better than ever.
But omg, they won I'm still SO excited.
I didn't sleep much monday night. I wanted
to be on Franklin Street so bad, maybe
next year and omg UNC is the NATIONAL
CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok I'll
stop now.
So this week is going to be really
fun. I am probably at a hockey game right
now if its tuesday night and I hope the
Hurricanes win. I watched the ACM Awards
Sunday night. They were pretty good except
Kenny Chesney didn't win anything, but
thats ok b/c he was rewarded a key to
the playboy club and he sang his new song
"Out Last Night" which is an
awsome. This weekend is Easter and I hope
everyone has a Happy Easter! And did i
mention that The North Carolina Tarheels
are NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I had to do that.

Hey everyone,
This week has been so much fun. First
of all, Carolina beat Gonzaga and Oklahoma.
That means we are now in the Final Four!!!
We went to the beach this weekend to
film Country Cafe. We had so much
fun, even though it was raining.
We went to the aquarium and filmed a
lot there. We walked the nature
trail. It was a half of a mile.
Can you believe Cody walked that far?
It took about thirty minutes.
It was so much fun, and we saw a snake.
We filmed part of it on the ocean and
the water was so cold. We should
have thought twice about doing that.
Even though it rained the whole time
we were there, we still had a blast.
After all, a rainy day on Evans St.
is better than a sunny day on Sunset.
As I'm writing this, I'm sitting here
watching Cody edit a commercial.
It is very boring. Hopefully,
this week will be more exciting.
Carolina is in the Final Four Saturday
playing Villanova. Hopefully it
will be like the other games and we
will advance to the National Championship
Game. On tuesday, I'm going to
a hockey game, so that will be fun.
The bad thing about next week is that
Cody is leaving for a whole week. That
means I will have a whole week of peace.
A whole week with no one to bother me.
A whole week to do whatever I want.
Oh wait, wouldnt that be a good thing?
JK. I'm gonna miss him. Thats about
all for now. Have a great week!!!

Hey everyone,
March is almost over. That means I
only have about six weeks of school left
and I have a lot of work to do. I can't
wait til summer. Hopefully it won't rain
all summer. It has been raining here forever.
It finally stopped and now its supposed
to start back and rain this weekend. This
past week has been kind of a slow week.
I had a biology midterm last Thursday
so I spent most of the week studying for
that. Then on Friday I went to Greenville.
We went to Olive Garden, which is my favorite
restaurant so that was fun. On Saturday
was the Carolina game, which we won and
made for an interesting Country Cafe.
We had to pretape the first 30 minutes
and some of it wasn't so pretty. On Sunday
I worked the door at the Twin County Hall
of Fame and met so many people.
This week is hopefully going to be
a good one. Carolina plays on Friday night
and we are supposed to go to the beach
this weekend to tape an episode of Country
Cafe. Its supposed to rain on Saturday
but its the beach so who cares. Its going
to be so much fun. That's about all for
now. Have a great week!

Hey everyone,
So this past week wasn't exactly the
best week. First of all we didn't get
to go to the beach to tape Country Cafe
this past weekend because of the weather,
the horrible weather. It's all good though;
we got the chance to do the show live
and that was a lot of fun. We had decorations
and a pot of gold and cookies. I have
to say that the cookies were a bad idea
though, I ate most of them before I even
got to the station that night. The worst
part of the weekend was Saturday afternoon
when Carolina lost to Florida State. It
was horrible, it kept us out of the final
game. As if that wasn't enough, Duke won.
That's all i heard on Sunday from Wayne.
If you don't know who he is, he is the
morning show host on Mondays and he is
a huge duke fan. Wayne has refused to
talk to me the past couple weeks because
Duke just isn't good enough to be Carolina
but when they went further in the tournament,
well that's all I heard all afternoon
on Sunday, and yes, it's true, I did tell
him to shut up but I had a good reason
to. It was a joke though. Tuesday was
the best day. It was St. Patrick's Day.
That is one of my favorite holidays, although
I was a little disappointed that I didn't
get to pinch anyone jk.
This week is going to be very exciting.
On Wednesday me and Cody will actually
be going to dance for the first time in
forever and we haven't practiced so that
will be interesting. The NCAA tournament
starts Thursday and Carolina plays and
we are going all the way, hopefully. Saturday
is the big St. Patricks Day parade in
Raleigh and we are thinking about going.
Then of course Saturday night we have
Country Cafe which is always fun. I think
that's about all for this week so have
a great week!

Hey everyone,
This past week has been a great week.
It was kind of a slow week up until Saturday.
Saturday was the relay for life auction.
It was so much fun. It started at 10 AM.
We had some really good items this year.
It finally ended that night around 4 in
the morning so I didn't get to bed until
like 5:30 AM, so that was fun. Sunday
was a great day. Carolina beat Duke on
Sunday 79-71. That was a great game.
This coming week is going to be so
much fun, although kinda scary b/c of
Friday the 13th. First of all on Friday
Carolina plays their first game in the
ACC tournament. Tuesday is St Patrick's
Day and I am so excited. So make sure
you wear green. Thats about all for now.
Btw, I'm writing this at one in the morning
and I have a 9 o'clock class in the morning
so I'm going to stop now. Have a great
week!

Hi everyone,
So this is my first blog. I am very excited
about it. This is something new we will
be doing every week. In addition to this
one there will be a Country Cafe blog as
well so make sure you check these out every
week. Speaking of Country Cafe, I will not
be doing it this week. Saturday is the annual
Relay for Life auction so it will be taking
the place of Country Cafe.
This has been an awesome week. Friday night
I went to the Julianne Hough concert in
Tarboro. It was so much fun, she is really
good in concert. I had the opportunity to
meet her after the show and that was a lot
of fun. She did some country cafe promos
and you can see one of them on our intro.
Then on Saturday night I did Country Cafe,
which was fun. We had a special guest and
a very interesting caller. Oh, and Justin
brought potatoes. Then it snowed Sunday
night and Monday. That was the best. It
hardly ever snows, and I missed my morning
classes and got to sleep late so that was
fun. It only snowed a little here but I
heard they had a blizzard in the mountains.
One of my best friends lives there and she
didn't like it so much. I think we should
trade places. Anyway that's about all for
now, I'll talk to you next week!
