So... did you miss me this morning? Was your coffee a little more bitter without me? I hope you were able to go on living without my words of inspiration. Or, more than likely, you didn't even notice and now I'm going to go cry in a corner. :)
Last night was a great night...

Almost any night of the week you can have your pick of medical TV shows. You got your "Scrubs," "Grey's Anatomy" and "House." If reality TV is your thing, take your pick from "Untold Stories of the ER" on TLC and "Dr. 90210" on E!. Even the crime...

Quick question to all of you readers out there...
What is your preferred local news station? KGET, KERO or KBAK?
and Why?
Lately I've been watching quite a bit of cable news (mostly because I don't get home until after the 5p news is over), but I tend to watch KGET when I do.
Love Lori...

Being my first blog I will try and keep criticism to a minimum... I will start by saying I am a firm believer in the magic of DVR, and seldom (that should be in caps) SELDOM ever watch a single commercial in Prime Time.

What is your favorite coffee shop and why? Since I work downtown, I often visit Dagny's on breaks. My wife likes Starbucks, especially because of the convenience of its drive-thru windows. What do you prefer, small mom and pop store or corporate franchise?
