Rachael_from_FOX's Blog

Wow, I haven't written a blog in a while.  Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about everyone, I just haven't had time to do anything!

Last weekend, I went to the Street Fest in Champaign.  The Brat Pack was there... and you all know how I love 80's cover bands!  I had so much fun, and even saw a girl face plant right next to my feet.  Is it bad that I laughed... after I knew she was okay? 

Yesterday was the 4th of July.  I started my day off of work by working... wierd!  A few of us from the station were in the Jerome 4th of July Parade.  I had a blast.  I was driving the FOX Cruiser, taking pictures, filming with my little video camera and throwing out candy at the same time... and I didn't even run anyone over!  I threw out over 15 pounds of candy!  Okay, maybe I threw out 14 pounds and ate a pound.  I can't help myself!

I'm looking forward to the rest of this week... my best friend is in from Pheonix, so we're going out to eat at the Corner Pub tonight.  They actually have a pretty good ponyshoe... I definitely recommend it! 

I'm in a wedding on Saturday, so I'll be doing that all day... and I mean ALL DAY.  The wedding is at 11, with a lunch following.  Then there is a pool party with dinner at 5.  THEN, we're all hanging out and camping on the bride's parent's farm.  That's a super long day... I bet I'm sleeping like a baby by 7pm. 

Sunday, I'm looking forward to finally sleeping in! 

Oh yeah, and I still have to find time to watch all the other Simpson's videos from competing states... I've voted for Illinois on every computer I can find... if you haven't voted yet, go to www.thesimpsons.usatoday.com.

Next blog... look forward to meeting 2 new family members!  Nemo and George (my new hermit crabs!)
