I love BLUE TOOTH

WOW! I just got my new Jeep (if you need a vehicle go see my friend Aaron at Tower...there is a shameless plug if I have ever seen one). I got a 2008 Black Jeep Liberty. I have never owned a BRAND new...ANYTHING!! Im so excited. Yesterday I was getting the rundown on how the blue toothworks. THis has to be the COOLEST thing ever. I'm on Crowchild...talking to my sister but NOT holding my phone. I wanted to be on the phone the entire time. Plus, I was not distracted holding the phone, and driving, it was great!! I love blue tooth. I can't believe I have been missing out on this for so long. Ohhhhhhhhh and air conditioning. That's fun too!

Weird Pets @ Work!!

Ok. So I have seen cats at work places, dogs, fish...but have you ever heard of a BEAVER at work. Well, at my boyfriends office, they have a baby BEAVER. Yep. His boss was out beaver hunting last month in Saskatchewan and one of the beavers was pregnant and they had to do an emergency c-section to save the babies, and that is what they did!

The rest of the baby beavers are in Saskatchewan, but this one special one "Woody" is at my boyfriends office! Can you imagine a BABY beaver at work. He sent me pictures, but they aren't that good, so I am going to go meet "Woody" on Thursday and take some good ones. He is sooooooo cute (from the picture and I love any baby animals except snakes). What are they going to do wtih this beaver when it gets older. Not sure? Keep it in the tub and and give it some twigs and branches to make a dam? I have a friend who has a pet raccoon in Saskie, but a baby Beaver. What is next a baby buluga?? Isnt' there a song about that!

New Wheels!!

Today is the day. If everything goes right, I will behind the wheel of my new JEEP! I am sooooooooo excited. I have never had a 'new' vehicle before. My first truck was a hand me down from my dad that had over 350,000 km's on it, but still it was free so I'm not complaining. Then 2nd was a car I have now. Let's just say it wasn't nice to me. Stranding me on Highway 11 due to a faulty fuel pump more than once, and this was before I even had a cell phone. Awwwwww. good times. I am sad to see it go today. I will miss it's missing side mirror, and shady hubcaps. Bye bye piece of poop car. BRING on the shiny new one!! I will post tomorrow about how my first day went w/the new Jeep.

A cool mothers day idea!

 

Don't know what to get your #1 mom this year for Mother's Day?? Here is a really neat idea. For $30 your mom can have a picture with Alberta Guide Dog Services...the CUTEST puppies ever. And all money raised goes towards Alberta Guide Dog Services. They are so cute. For more info you can call 258-0819.

 

A few of my guilty pleasures...

Well it's almost 5 AM as I write this and today we get to interview PEREZ Hilton. I'm soooooo excited. His blog is one of my fave's. Everyday I go to catch up on the latest Miley Cyrus debauchary and other celebs. www.perezhilton.com.

I thought I would share a few more of my fave sites with you. *Great way to pass time at work*!!

#1. www.Stuffonmycat.com

This has been a fave of mine ever since it launched. Who doesnt like seeing cats wearing clothing and weird objects!! Everyone does. I even have a daily calender on my desk. It makes me smile everday.

Bell Walk for Kids!!!

This Sunday...according to Enivornment Canada Weather, it's gonna be a day to get outside! And that is perfect for the Bell Walk for Kids at Eau Claire. Chad and Fuzzy will be out at the event, and all money will go towards the Kids Help Phone. Last year alone over 20,000 WALKERS raised over $3 MILLION dollars. That is amazing. Let's hope this year we can do even better. To find out how you can walk and help kids www.bellwalkforkids.ca.

FUNNY FEST!!!

Need a good laugh?! They say that laughter is the best medicine....so you might want to check out FUNNYFEST....Calgary Comedy Festival. It starts May 1st goes until the 11th. And they have everything from Comedy for the Kids, to comedians at the Zoo, Deerfoot Inn. It's huge. And it's all run by volunteers. Check it out at: www.funnyfest.com.

Hidden gems in the city?!?!

Finally with the nice weather here, I am excited to get outdoors and enjoy it! Yesterday, I was driving past Bowness park, and can't wait to go hiking, biking, and even have a picnic. So, being relatively new to the city (a year), I was wondering what your fave outdoor spots are in Calgary?! Do you have a gem of your own that you wanna share? Hit me up. Dani@vibe985.com and just maybe I will let you have a sandwich if I run into you while I am having a picnic.

Busy busy weekend!!

Ahhhhhhhhh. The weekend is here! Put your feet up and RELAX...well, maybe not. Your going to see Vibe EVERYWHERE this weekend. Today I am off to the Deerfoot Inn & Casino to win some big bucks...well actually to host DIVAS & DIAMONDS 3. Its going to be a blast. Its a fun afternoon for bosses to give their admin assistant to take in music, comedy, food, oh AND WIN DIAMONDS!!

Tomorrow don't forget it's the Calgary Women's Show-happening at the Round Up Centre. Always soooooooo much fun. I think last year I bought a purse, make up (Chad & Fuzzy) called stripper dust, and the infamous 'sheewee'. ITs a contrapation for us ladies to use so we can pee standing up. What will we find at the Womens show this year?! Plus, don't forget its Chad vs Fuzzy Charity Challenge #3 at the Womens show "FREE FOOT RUBS"...starting at noon Saturday they will be rubbing feet!! May the best foot rubber win.

Empty Bowl Benefit!

Last week the Vibe Morning Show joined a ton of media down at the Calgary Food Banks "Empty Bowl" Benefit. This is where we get to design/paint bowls and then you lovely people can bid on them with all proceeds towards the Calgary Inter-faith Food Bank. It was a ton of fun. And it goes to a great cause. Chad made some sponge paint bowl from 1994, Fuzzy the "bacon and egger bowl" and mine is the SPITTER SPLATTER bowl.

To take a look at my bowl hit here! Thank you so much for helping the food bank!!

FOOT RUB RULES!!

SO our boss Stew came up with a list of rules that the boys MUST follw this Saturday for Challenge #3. And here they are. What do you think?! Let me know!!

#1. The foot rub must not last longer than 5 MINUTES but MUST last at LEAST 98 seconds.

#2. You may only get ONE foot rub. So that means you can't keep going back. Just one. I'm sure that will be enough.

#3. Both feet MUST be rubbed...including TOES.

#4. Gloves may be used if the persons feet are questionable. NO turning ANYONE away.

#5. Lotions and oils are allowed. BUT NO SPA KITS!

#6. Feet must be BARE...no socks!!

Earth Day ideas!

HEY!! For the next few blogs I do I am going to let ya know what is happening in our city for Earth Day. And this Saturday (April 19th) there is a really cool event happening. Here is the low down on it!

Recycle Logic presents "Earth Day ewaste recycling & food drive"- Saturday 9a-5pm. This way your not only helping the environment but also the food bank!

We're number 80!!!!

So the earlier today I logged on to YouTube looking for another FuzzyTube video of the day. And to my surprise I found out that the video for Challenge #1 (Syncro or Swim) in the Chad vs. Fuzzy $10,000 Charity Challenge is the 80th most viewed video in all of Canada for the week. Pretty cool. Don't forget that by forwarding the video to your friends thought the link on our website could win you $5000. And be sure to check out the next video that will be up on Monday for Challenge #2 So You Think You Can Dance.

Scary...info on B-P-A!!

Yesterday, women had first learned of the potential danger of exposure to Bisphenol-A (BPA).

Now, they'd like more answers and how to avoid the harmful chemical. Even when toddlers are exposed to low levels of BPA, there can be changes in their prostate and mammary glands. Cancer may result. 

 BPA  is used in water bottles, children's toys, and on the inside of soda cans. Reducing your exposure won't be easy, but here are a few ways to avoid the risk:

 - Do not heat hard polycarbonate plastics (Nalgene bottles, baby bottles and sippy cups) or use them for warm liquids - Do not wash polycarbonate plastic containers in the dishwasher - Reduce your use of canned food. Bisphenol A (BPA) has been found in the lining of canned food tins - Look for BPA-free toys, baby bottles and food containers. They may be slightly more expensive, but parents say they're worth the additional

The Wiggles!!

If your a parent, or even have a younger kid in your life you know who the Wiggles are. They are in town tonight for 2 shows...and get ready to ROCK your socks off. Tickets are still available for the shows...you can head to www.ticketmaster.ca. We chatted with the Purple Wiggle Jeff...and he taught us how to sing their #1 hit with kids under 6 called "Hot Potato" pretty much that's the only words in the song. No wonder kids love them. They can remember the words, EVEN I can!! Hot Potatoe, Hot Potatoe. I was reading up on these dudes, and listen to this...they are from Australia and MAKE MORE MONEY THAN AC/DC and NICOLE KIDMAN COMBINED! I need to start a children's group.

I am saddened to admit this...

Tuesday is the day when new cd's/dvd's hit stores, and today a HUGE one comes out...JUNO! Now, I saw this movie and it is amazing. If you have a quirky sense of humor, you will love it. I will probably pick it up on my way home from work. But...there is another movie that I am embarrassed to say I sort of want to see. The Hannah Montana movie. WHY?? I don't know! What is wrong with me? Shouldn't only 13 year old girls and boys be into Miley Cyrus. YIKES! I should also pick up an issue of J14 magazine too and Teen Beat. What is it about the Hannah/Miley craze that has pulled me in.

FLAME FEVER!!!!!!!

WOW!! What a game last night. I was pretty freaked out after the first 3 and a half minutes and we were down 3 nothing. But our boys made a huge comeback.  I love seeing this city get into playoff fever. It's AWESOME! I think the hot new hair do is the "faux hawk" which has been dubbed the jerome hawk. If you got some sweet hair, I think GIRLS and guys should rock it. Tomorrow morning we will be chowing down on some SHARK with Hotel Arts and Kelly Doody from the Sun. SHould be fun. I'm bringing my appetite. Just like the Flames did last night!!

Something I never want to see again

Alright. As you know it's Chad vs Fuzzy $10,000 Charity Challenge. Yesterday was challenge #1. SYNCHRO or SWIM. We headed out to the Talismen Centre and teamed up with the Calgary Aquabelles, and both Chad and Fuzzy had to perform a synchronized swimming routine. So we all knew that Fuzzy couldn't swim, but thankfully the talented staff at Talismen helped Fuzzy with a few float belts and water wings. Fuzzy did great...but I also saw something I hope to never see again.

CHAD in a SPEEDO! It's not that Chad doesn't have a nice body to pull of a speedo. BUT, it's like seeing your brother in one. NOT NICE! To much skin. WAY WAY WAY too much. Thankfully he went for the boxer brief speedo, but my eyes are still burning from seeing his white and pasty skin.

Synchro or Swim

Today is D-Day. Or SWIM day for Fuzzy and Chad. IT's Challenge #1 in the Chad vs Fuzzy $10,000 Charity Challenge. Later on today we will be heading down to the Talismen Centre where Fuzzy and Chad will each do a mini routine with the Calgary Aquabelles!!

So which one will be a better synchro swimmer?? I think I am going to have to put my money on Chad, seeing as Fuzzy does not even know how to swim. I hope they have extra lifeguards on hand today @ Talismen. Rumor also has it that Chad will be showing up in a SPEEDO!! I am scared. Very. But they are both braver than most. The good thing about this $10,000 Charity Challenge the boss has come up with, is that every SINGLE challenge will be video taped...and put on you tube. So you won't miss a moment. Such as Chad's wardrobe malfunction with his speedo and fuzzy getting mouth to mouth from a life guard!

Buy My Body.....

SO here we go...today...for the first time in my life...I will wear a speeedo!! It's all part of the first challenge in Chad vs. Fuzzy: The $10,000 Charity Challenge. I figure if we are going to try and pretend to become synchronized swimmers today ath the Talisman Centre, we might as well dress the part, and although I have never seen a professional male synchro swimmer in my life...I am told if there was one...they would wear a speedo. So last night I shopped at Swimco in Market Mall, and found a nice, tight, speedo...with station colors to boot! Got to admit...there is alot of pasty white skin showing...and it's not pretty...hope I don't scare anyone at the pool! But I did come up with an idea...sell my bare real estate to anyone who wants some advertising. I mean the challenges are all going tobe videotaped an put up on Youtube and the Vibe 98-5 website, so the exposure (pardon the pun) for a company could be huge. Now I am not saying I want $$$ for this, make me an offer...you have a company that wants to help cover me up with your logo so that I don't send people fleeing the Talisman in horror after seeing me in a speedo? Let me know... e-mail chad@vibe985.com

Finally!

Ok. I will admit this, I have a few unpaid City of Calgary parking tickets in my glove box.

 I know I know. I should pay them, because now they are $$$$$!!!

Well...now they have finally decided you can pay online...which is much more handy than driving downtown looking for a parking spot. www.calgaryparking.com! SO, today I plan on paying my outstanding tickets. Oh JOY! I will let ya know how much they are. SCARY!

The Juno Weekend Recap!

WOW! What an amazing weekend. I think our city put on a fantastic awards show, proving to everyone that yes...Calgary is the best city in the world. Congrats to our hometown girl Fiest, taking home 5 awards.

Pretty much everywhere you went in the city you would find a party! I want to thank the boys of Faber Drive especially Faber, for hooking me up with passes to the Rockstar Hotel party. Wow. It was crazy. There were ton's of different rooms with FREE swag. My fave room was the Adidas room..I got free sneaks. All the big names were upstairs...like K-os, Hedley, Jully Black, The Calgary Flames! IT was soooooo insane. I think I am still recovering this morning. Ouch.

Juno Weekend Tidbits

Things I saw and heard, and people I met during Juno Weekend....

- a group of girls trying to convince Dion Phaneuf to hit floor #2 at Hotel Arts and score them some free swag! With his new contract her could just go out and buy it!

- Former MuchMusic VJ and Entertainment Tonight reporter Rick The Temp getting denied entry to the Rockstar Party at Hotel Arts.

- Several NHL legends substituting beer for water on the bench at the Juno Cup Friday night.

- MP Jack Layton in line for a Timmies at the Juno Awards

- Robin Regher, sitting in front of me, at the Juno Awards.

- Jully Black...at my yoga studio for a hot yoga session

What's Next

Well we have no clue of what the boss has planned for us on Monday morning. I guess he's tired of the back and forth fighting between me & Chad. I don't see what the big deal is it was all in good fun and once Chad can admit he took his April Fools joke too far we can be friends again;-)...just kidding everything between me and Chad is cool...he just has to be ready for me to get my revenge. (insert evil laugh here)

DID JUNO....

I am sooooooo excited for the Juno's this weekend!! The musicians, the awards, and the parties! I went and saw our Vibe Fashionista Kim Stern at Boutik yesterday and she hooked me up with the sweetest little purple dress ever!! It's soooooooooo cute. I usually don't wear dresses, but this one rocks. I can't wait to show it off at the awards and the Rockstar hotel party. I will take ton's of pictures...for proof that I am wearing a dress. Have a great JUNO weekend. If you see any celebs doing anything crazy make sure to let us know morningshow@vibe985.com.

If ya wanna "JUNO" with me....

There is so much going on this weekend in the city when it comes to the Juno's! Vibe is gonna be here, there and everywhere taking it all in and reporting back to you live. Thought I would let you know where I will be hanging out...and if you are there too...please say "hi"

Friday:

Juno Cup @ the Corral
I am there from 5 reporting back to the station until I have to take over as coach of the NHL greats! This is gonna be fun!
Game time is 7:30

Saturday

Juno Fanfare @ the Olympic Oval
Come down and meet a ton of your fave artists and get some autographs. I will be hanging with them at the Vibe booth from about 9a til about 1pm. Come by and get a free poster (if you need one to get autographed) and other prizes.

The boss is mad....

Geez...this whole me and Fuzzy pranking each other and your reactions are going way further than I expected.
Yup...he got me good with the balloons
Yup...I got him good with the dog knapping!
Yup...his wife will probably seek revenge one day.
Yup...you are taking his side or mine and letting us know through calls and e-mails...or comments when we see each other out and about...and so is our boss. And apparently he is not impressed...and a little birdie told me if it doesn't stop he will take care of it...hmmmmmmm....not sure what that means...or if we should be scared or not. He is a rider fan...that says alot!

Want TO GO to the Juno's...I will tell you how you can go for FREE!!!

YES! For free. How? Well...you can come down to MELROSE on 17th this Saturday because VIBE and Doritos are going to be hosting an AIR GUITAR CONTEST...and the winner will win tickets to the Juno awards this Sunday night at the Dome. We don't have just one pair of tickets, we have 5! So join us at MELROSE on 17th after 4pm on Saturday for your chance to air guitar your way to the Juno's. If you want some more info email me at dani@vibe985.com.

It took him 30 years to try Cheerios!

I don't know why this baffles me so much.
Maybe it is because Cheerios are such a mainstream, staple breakfast cereal. I mean everyone has their favorite cereal of all time, but at some point we have all tried either Corn Flakes, Shreddies, Rice Krispies, and Cherrios...or so I thought.

The other day while on set for a TV commercial shoot...Fuzzy was given a bowl of Cheerios as a prop...and after devouring the entire bowl...and eventually the box....declared...."hmmm...these are pretty good...can't believe I have never had them before".
He is a grown man.
He is a cereal lover.
His parents fed him...well.

APRIL FOOLS!!

Ohhhhhhhhh how I love April Fools day! I have been known to play tricks and pranks on April Fools since I was a young fool back in the day. My most fond memory was in grade 6...I decided to saran wrap the teachers toliet at school...there was only one (remember I grew up in a town of 12 people and we had like 70 students from k-12). So I saran the toliet thinking ha ha ha ha. WEll the principal comes into my homeroom...Mrs. Thunderchild, she had her coat around her waist and asked to see me in the office. Oh oh. I think. But am also thinkin YES!! I got her. She has pee on her. he he he.

What is going on with babies and birth control???

There has been a story that has surfaced recently in the news about a man...that is right...a man...male..with all the proper parts...who is pregnant! No, this is not a sequel to old Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, it's for real. And apparently the dude with a bun in the oven is going to be making an appearance on Oprah this Wednesday to spill all the details. Gotta check it out! Follow that up with the story yesterday about a team of German scientists who have developed a birth control pill for men. Which now begs the question...who, in a relationship should be responsible for poppin' "the pill"?

Fuzzy is a dead man walking!

A message to my friend and co-host Fuzzy....live in fear my friend...live in fear.

So I walk in to my office this morning after an nice relaxing week off...that involved way to many work related interruptions and a nasty rash (another blog another time) only to find my entire office...floor to ceiling...stuffed with balloons. It was so packed I could not even get to the light switch.

I always come in to work a few minutes early after a holiday just to make sure I get caught up on things before getting back to my regular routine. Thank god I did this morning as it took me over 45 minutes just to get enough balloons out so I could reach my desk.

Punk'd

Have you ever pranked a co-worker. Well around the station it has become a tradition to punk someone who goes away on vacation. I'm looking for some good ideas to get Chad & Dani. Email me at fuzzy@vibe985.com.

Gone baby GONE!!!!!!!

WOW! It's been a crazy few months, and I'm getting ready to take some R & R! As of 9:01 today, I am on holidays! I am doing a whirlwind tour....Edmonton...North Battleford, SK...Saskatoon, SK, and then VANCOUVER! I am so excited to go to Vancouver as I have never been. I am going to ride whales and eat sushi. Mmmmmmmmm. And shop. I will be back to talk about my adventures on March 31st! Until then. Aloha. Bonjour? Goodbye!

Juno Stuff

Hey...just a reminder...we are 2 weeks away from Juno craziness hitting Calgary. It will probably bve a long time befor ewe see the Juno's here again so take advantage of all the cool events that are happening the weekend of April 4th.

As you may or may not have heard....I have be asked to coach the team of NHL greats (including Lanny McDonald, Paul Coffey and Bob Probert) who are taking on the team of Rockers at the Juno Cup on Aoril 4th at the Corral. I have coached minor football in the past...and have not played hockey since I was a kid....but talk about the easiest coaching gig ever!!! What do these NHL greats need me to coach them on....NOTHING...except for some major fun on the bench! Bring the whole family out...tickets are only $15!

Road Trippin'

Well Thursday morning after the show The Vibe Morning Show is going road trippin'. Let the fun begin, as long as we keep the windows cracked:-)

Tips for Vancouver?!

Nooooooo, I am not trying out for the 2010 Olympics. But this Monday I am going to Vancouver for the first time ever. Believe it or not, I have never even SEEN the ocean. So I am sooooooo excited.

A cd that will make you SKINNY!?

Ok. Is this TOO good to be TRUE? A cd that makes you slim just by listening to it...well...www.skinnysongs.com! There is a cd you can buy with songs like "Skinny Jeans", "I'm A Hottie Now", "Thin!", and more.

SO, I think I need to drop a few pounds for bikini season, so if you see my with my window down...and me singing along to "Skinny Jeans", lets hope I can fit into that bikini.

BOWL for KIDS 2008 (SEXY firefighters will be there)

It's ONE, TWO, THREE STRIKES your out...wait. No. You want strikes. It's back once again BOWL for Kids helping support Big Brothers and Sisters. You still have time to get your team of 4 in...www.bowlforkidscalgary.com. We had Jeremy on the show today talking about the event, and it's sooooooo much fun!

 Oh!! And Jeremy told me that there are a few firefighter/police nights. IN UNIFORM. I bet they still look sexy in bowling shoes!

I survived the great Toronto blizzard of '08!

I vividly remember watching the news a few years ago when the city of Toronto called in the army after a major blizzard (translation to Albertans: minor snowstorm!)to help keep the peace. We all laughed and mocked the centre of the universe about not being able to deal with a little snow.

Well last week I had to head to Toronto for a conference for all of us radio types across Canada. And when it was announced that a MAJOR BLIZZARD was coming our way, the whole city panicked. Don't leave your home or hotel. don't drive, flights are cancelled, prepare to build an igloo and hunt polar bears. The warnings were everywhere!

Want a pet shark!!

Today, we had the lovely Cheryl from the Calgary Humane Societ on our show...talking about an odd pet up for adoption. A SHARK! Yes, they have a shark looking for a home that goes by the name "Baby". He can grow up to ONE METRE long, so he needs a family with a big tank that can fit him. She said my bathtub probably wouldn't work. If your a fish lover you can call her at 205-4455, or head to calgaryhumane.ca.

Will the headaches stop!?!

For the last few weeks I have been getting bad headaches...first the right side of my head then the left! So, today I go and get my eyes checked. I am thinking with all the time I spend hanging on the computer working REALLY hard (Facebook), my eyes need to be checked up on.

 I have never had glasses...or contacts, so I am a tad nervous, but hopefully this will be the problem behind my headaches! Should I get bifocals?! I just hope the headaches go away!

Fancy Toilet

So this past weeken I went to the Home & Garden Show where they had this fancy toilet seat that heats up and has a special hose that washes your "business". When you think about it no toilet paper being used is very friendy to the environment. It might be woth a try.

Calgary Burlesquercise

Calling all ladies!! Are you looking for a way to get in shape, and bring out your inner sex kitten?! Then make sure to sign up for BURLESQUERCISE!!

City TV's Andrew Shultz is my hero!

For the simple fact that I work at a radio station, and that I have been involved in music for many years, people always assume lyou can identify any song, at any time" based on a single note or one word from one line of a song. I wish it was true, but it's not the case. I used to think I had a pretty good knowledge of music, bu thtis past weekend, I got schooled!!!!

I spent the weekend in Golden BC at Kicking Horse along with a ton of us media types from Calgary courtesy of my good friends from Cardel Homes (thanks Heather!). Our Saturday night festivities involved a late night "name that tune" battle. Normally this compeitition is not a big test, but that was before I battled Andrew Shultz from CITY TV. I now officially declare this guy a song STUDD!!!!! Most of the time we weren't even on enot einot the song before the guy was belting out title, artist, year released and which girl he kissed while slow dancing to that song in high school! He was crazy good! Makes me wonder if there was some kind of fix to the competition....I need to investigate....

The countdown is on for the HILLS!!

Monday...MARCH 24th. I will be at home in front of the TV...getting ready for Season 3 of the HILLS! Why do I love this show. Not sure. It's my guilty pleasure. I think I lose all sense of reality when I watch it, and pretend I'm in LA with girls. (Ok that sounds a bit creepy). But for you Hills fans out there....here is some juice!

MTV is offering fans a sneak preview of the upcoming bonus episodes of The Hills, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The bonus segments, debuting March 24th, will begin with Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port's trip to Paris to work for Teen Vogue. The Los Angeles-based story line featuring Heidi Montag and boyfriend Spencer Pratt will also advance. Conrad announced that MTV was ordering eight more episodes of The Hills during the show's third-season finale on December 11th, which attracted an audience of 4.7 million viewers.

Premiere Ed Gets Low

If you haven't heard the Vibe 98-5 Premiere Ed Remix of Flo-Rida's 'Low' yet here it is.

I was stalked!

There was a big sale at a furniture store this weekend, so I stopped by to check out some deals (I may have a slight addiction to constantly redecorating my home!) Why is it that when you want help you can never find someone (Home Depot!) and when you don't want to be bothered you get stalked by an overbearing sales person? That is exactly what happened to me! I seriously felt uncomfortable (which takes alot for me) as this guy was constantly within a 5 ft radius, staring intently, waiting like a shark circling his prey! I told him twice I was just browsing, but there I was, expecting this guy to jump out of every dresser drawer I opened or hidden under every cushion I sat on. Why is there no happy medium when it comes to sales service??? Have you had a similar experience...let me know! Happy Tuesday Chad chad@vibe985.com

Want to be Paris Hilton's new BFF!?!?


Well now you can! Paris Hilton is launching a new reality show, as she treks around the country trying to find a new BFF! What would it like to be Paris' BFF...you would get free clothes, hang out with celebs, do karokee to "Stars Go Blind". I'm not sure I could do it. But if you could be BFF's with one celeb...who would it be?! I would like to hang out with Jessica Biel...cause then you could be close to Justin, and she seems cool...email your celeb bff and why at dani@vibe985.com!

 

So Much Scandal...

Wow I don't know if anyone is watching the live feeds of Big Brother 9 or not...but trust me when I say it is scandalous. They've taken a bunch of horny rabbits and put them in a room with booze. Again WOW. And what about tonight's Moment of Truth...you would think that if you were going to ruin your marriage on national TV you would at least make some money off of it. She walked away with NOTHING...YIKES...

Oscars (make me a Grouch)

8 hours of pre show and then an award show that ran for just under 4 hours...way to much oscar coverage...the only highlights were the guys from Superbad presenting...Jon Stewart's baby award...and the Gary Busey fiasco on the red carpet (which is today's Fuzzytube video)...at least award shows are almost done for a while now...

Dentist Fear...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh it's already FRIDAY! What a lovely short work week!! FOR YOU?! Today, I have to go to a place where I dread...THE DENTIST. Insert Dani SCREAMING like a little kid. I still have 2 wisdom teeth that need to get pulled, and a cracked molar, oh and a cleaning. What an awesome Friday. Why did I book this appointment on a FRIDAY!?!? I should have booked it on a Monday, then took the rest of the week off to recover!! I hope your weekend goes better than mine...can someone pass the floss?!

d

Everything is going up!

A couple big money stories in the paper this morning... First off...the price of bread and other "wheat" products is set to drastically rise in the next few months...all do to the price of wheat rising 300% over the last year...and a global wheat shortage. Then it's the warning that gas will hit $1.50 a litre this summer... and finally a story that, to no ones surprise...housing prices have more than tripled over the last 10 years. So what a person to do? Well it's either walk more, eat less bread and cereal and live in a tent, move back in with my parents, or suck it up! Which would you choose???

I need a new cell phone

Lately, everytime I talk to my dad or a friend...I get this "WHY DO you have MARBLES in your mouth". I don't...that is just dangerous. It's my cell phone, which happens to also be my home phone. There are WAY too many phones to pick from. Do I really NEED a blackberry, or do I just WANT one. Just so I can facebook?! Grrrrrrrrr. I am going to the mall today, and hopefully will have an answer, or will continue to be known as Marble Mouth!

Dani

Addiction is bad

I held off for as long as I could.
Everyone around me eventually fell into the trap.
But I resisted.
It consumed them.
Every weekend they would gather together in large groups and partake in this act until they slumped over in a heap of exhaustion.
I laughed and said it would never get the best of me.
But this weekend...my lil brother spoke the evil words...
"go ahead...try it...everyone is doing it..."
And so i picked it up...and dove head first into the evil world of
GUITAR HERO!!!

and I rocked...like no other has rocked before...without the leather pants and long hair that is!

Dancing With the Stars

I was there last spring...at the dome...with my girlfriend, when the Dancing With The Stars tour waltzed thier way into town for a tour stop.

Happy Valentines...and a big thank you

I've got to say a big thanks to Haitham and Hansa from Edible Arrangement for making sure I had a great gift for my wife this Valentines Day. Being the procrastinator that I am I put it off until this morning and they managed to come through.

The long wait ahead

If you work in an office with alot of female employees, like we do, try observing this today, for some fun. In our office...every Valentine's day there is a pretty steady stream of flower deliveries to people from their Valentines. It is kind of fun to watch all the ladies hang out at reception all day to see if the next delivery is for them. Always nice to see the big smile on their face when the get a surprise (ok not really that surprising) gift from their sweety. The compeition heats up at the end of the day, when only those with flowers can gloat and others end up frustrated as to why they did not get a special delivery!

Break out the Sun Ice coats and Heidi & Howdy dolls!!

Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics! Calgary has changed so much in the past 20 years, but without the '88 Olympics...we wouldn't have Nikiska, The Dome, and of course those vintage Sun Ice coats! If you want to relive the era of Eddie the Eagle and Elizabeth Manley, then head to COP TONIGHT! Starting at 5pm...they will kick off the big celebrations. Plus, the first 2000 people down to COP tonight get to SKI for FREE!! Maybe Eddie the Eagle can teach me a few things!

 Dani

p.s. Does anyone have a Vintage '88 Sun Ice Coat size medium. Just for my collection! ha ha!

Make up your mind!!!

Why can't this stinking cold make up it's mind. No I am not talking about the weather, I am talking about the nasty virus I picked up in Edmonton this weekend. Where does it want to hang? My throat? My Sinuses? Everyhwere? I wish It would make up it's mind cause it seems to be moving around, hour by hour, and it's getting really annoying! Did I mention I don't get sick? Probably why Dani keeps calling me "Grumpy Pants"! Happy Tuesday Chad

Candy Hearts with no CALORIES for Valentines Day

I don't know about you, but this time of the year is an excuse for me to go overboard on all the Valentines Day goodies. One of my fave candies...is the infamous "Candy Hearts", with sayings. Like I love you. Or Bite Me. Well, now you can personalize your candy hearts...and they have no calories...so SEND as many as you want! Send one to your boyfriend, best friends, trainer, boss...ok maybe not your boss...but have fun designing your own. Candy Hearts! Make yours here!

I went to Edmonton this weekend....

AND ALL I BROUGHT BACK WAS A LOUSY COLD!!! And the worst part about it,I never get sick! Fuzzy always makes fun of me because I always say that I am invincible cause I rarely get sick. I try to take pretty good care of myself so I don't, but imagine Fuzzy's delight this morning when I walk into work coughing and hacking. This sucks...the last time I went to Edmonton my truck broke down, this time...I come back with a cold. Is someone try to tell me something? Chad chad@vibe985.com

Just in time for Valentines Day

If your not feeling the love or you already have a love but some dude/dudette (is that a word), keeps creeping on you at the bar and won't give it up. I've got a website that can help you out. www.rejectionhotline.com The Rejection Hotline® The dating scene is full of people who can't take a hint or can't take "no" for an answer (and many who apparently can't take showers, can't brush their teeth, or can't seem to go out in social settings without awkwardly embarrassing themselves). The Rejection Hotline exists as a simple alternative to uncomfortable situations and it is a public service to both the rejector and to the rejectee!

Lost and Found website

I am a very absent minded person...I lose my car keys, lip gloss, hand lotion, even my CELL PHONE! I have never lost my camera yet, but there is a new website that has launched www.ifoundyourcamera.net where people find missing cameras and download pictures to the site. This could be scary for some people who enjoy taking risky pictures (Vanessa Hudgens)!! So, if you've recently misplaced that camera and are hoping someone finds it, check out the site. Maybe the picture of you hanging out at Aunt Ethel's 90th birthday party is not lost forever...but hopefully if your doing anything at Aunt Ethels party...no one finds it.

Beaten by MasterChild

So since Christmas I've become addicted to the video game Halo 3. Now I'm slowly getting better to the point where I can almost compete with my friends...but last night I had a total reality check. Last night Mastermind stopped by my place with his kids, and his son Nate who is 12 years old beat me 25 to 6...it's one thing to be beaten by kids online...which I'm sure happens all the time...but to have it happen in your own living room is a whole other story. So hats off to you MasterChild...until we meet again.

As featured on Ellen

So my friend send me an email about a chair I should try out. I spend a lot of time on my behind at work at home. And, there is a new chair...that is getting a lot of talk. I was going to put this as my health tip of the day, but I'm not 100% is works. He he he! Ellen used them on her show the other day. So, if I am making some odd noises next time I'm on air. It might be because I bought this chair...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9_amg-Aos4&feature=related

Should I buy my boss one?! Dani

Kinda Bored with Idol!

Don't even get me started about the whole conspiracy as to why Giant Jarrod's votes were not registering for Media Idol...not amused!

After watching last nights American Idol auditions from Atlanta...I found myself...bored. Normally, outside of the Top 5 shows, these are my favorite episodes. All the freaks and terrible singers used to be amusing, but this year, I don't know...it's just not the same.

Is it because Simon is being to nice?
Is it cause the judges aren't trying to stangle each other?
Or has American no new freaks to exploit?

Guidance please....I want to like this show again.

Happy Humpday
Chad

Free Self Defense Course for Ladies

I don't know about you, but lately the on-going violence in our city has me a little bit scared. Especially when I'm out alone, so Alberta Self Defense is holding a free course for women. This way we can have a little bit of piece of mind in situations where we wish we knew a bit of butt kicking!! If you would like to take part in the free course head to www.fightwize.com. You must email them to register for the course. You can do that at alberta_self_defence@yahoo.ca. Let's kick some butt!! Dani

MAJOR CONCERT TEASER

HAPPY TUESDAY...AND HAPPY FAT TUESDAY TO EVERYONE AT MARDI GRAS!

Super Ads

Not only was it a great game from start to finish...except for half time (thanks for nothing Tom Petty)...there were some really entertaining ads. One of my favorites was the Shaq ad for vitamin water. You can check it out at www.vibe985.com/fuzzytube.

You know you have a problem with facebook....

So, I'm not a HUGE talker on the telephone. I have never been one of those girls, who spends hours on her phone just chatting. If I haven't talked to a friend in awhile, or need to catch up, then I call. I don't use my phone for the sake of talking. I do, on the other hand use my FACEBOOK page for randmon nothingness. IS that the word? My best friend since Grade 6...called me a few times over the weekend, I was busy and never got the chance to call her back. And she never left a message, so I figured no biggie. This morning I check my facebook. And she wrote on my wall saying "since you never answer your phone, you should know that your going to be an aunty...I'm pregnant". Oh. Opps. So pick up your phone. And put down facebook. Should I send her a free gift on facebook to show her congrats?! hmmm. Probably not. I better call her today!

Idol Auditions @ Sunridge Mall

Even though it is a crazy busy weekend with the Superbowl, fresh powder in the mountains to carve up, and more, I just want to remind you to stop by and say "hi" to the Vibe crew this weekend at Sunridge Mall.

We will be on location for the Canadian Idol auditions all day Saturday and Sunday. Myself, Mastermind, Fuzzy and Miss Ange will be there on Saturday, and Dani and Amber Lee will be there Sunday.

Stop by our booth and enter to have us pay your Sunridge Mall shopping bills with a $100 Gift Card...we have a ton of them to give away!!

Just do me a favour...don't ask any of us to sing...it won't be pretty!!!

Superbowl Sunday

Break out the chips and dip. It's time for one of the biggest sporting events of the year...SUPERBOWL Sunday. (Of course the main event was the Grey Cup last year when the Riders won). I am excited for this Sunday's game. I'm not a HUGE NFL fan, but have been watching more and more games lately. I've always been a fan of HOTTIE Tom Brady, and perhaps the fact his team is in the finals, and undefeated may have another reason why me and my girlfriends will be watching. Also, the STAR factor. Can you believe they are doing a red carpet at the Superbowl?? Yeah. Ryan Seacrest will be hosting it. I'm not sure how I feel about that...seems a bit tacky for a big sporting event. But if Tom Brady is on the red carpet...BRING it on! Enjoy your Superbowl Sunday weekend! Plus, the food, celebs, and the commericals. I will enjoy my Tom Brady.

Should I watch "Lost" or just wait til it ends to see if it was worth it?

Brand new season of LOST starts on the tube tonight.
I was really into season 1, but then missed a few episodes of season 2, and since then, well I have been as alost as those on the show! So now for my dilemna....Do I watch the recap episode tonight, try and get caught up and then start over again with the new season, or should I just wait for the whole series to end in a few seasons, see if the ending is worth it...then rent the entire series on DVD, play sick for a week, and watch the whole thing back to back??? FYI - that is what I am doing with the Sapranos right now...not the take a week off part...just watching it now that it is over.

Old Man Winter

As the cold snap continues, I hope your staying as warm as you can!! Get some extra hot chocolate in you. I don't know if the cold snap is messing with my head/body or not. Yesterday, I woke up and my knee and hip bone were aching...ACHING really bad. I thought I just slept weird, but the 'ache' has continued til today. You know how senior citizens complain that they can feel the cold in their bones, is this happening to me?! It's the weirdest thing. I haven't done anything to make my knee/hip bone ache...no falling, nothing physical. IT's the oddest thing. So, I'm not sure if it's the cold that is making my body hurt, but if it is...go back and bundle up. My knee is killing me. I need a walker.

Syndication is a wonderful thing...

Considering that I had never watched an episode of Two and A Half Men in the first 4 years it was on TV, I'm pleasantly surprised to find out that it's one of the funniest shows ever...and I have syndication to thank. I can't turn on the TV without finding an episode on...and because I've never watched it before , they're all new episodes.

Ebay Addict!!

A few weeks ago I signed up for ebay. I don't think this was a good idea!! So far, I've boughten a number of items that I really don't need. My first item of purchase, was the game from my past Connect Four. IT was only a loonie, and then 12 bucks shipping! Ha. My 2nd purchase was $2 SHOES...yes someone else's Adidas shoes, they arrived yesterday. I love them. I have also bought DVDs, eyeglasses, and a hoodie. Will the insanity stop?!

So, I ask this...what is the silliest thing you have bought on EBAY?! My feet are tingly...I hope its not the two dollar shoes I'm wearing!!

Christmas in January???

Well it was great to have a new episode of House on TV Tuesday night...but because of the writers strike it was a Christmas themed one. Oh well at least it was the first of a bunch of new episodes...I can't wait for the next one on Sunday after the Super Bowl.

School CLOSURES!!

SCHOOL CLOSURES: -Foothills School Division will have classes but buses will not be running -Chinnoks Edge School Division buses are not running -Catholic schools in Cochrane and Chestermere are closed today -School buses in the Rocky View School Division will not run today -All public and catholic schools are closed in CROSSFIELD, Chestermere, Bearspaw, and Westbrook.

And "YES"....I promise to be post a blog entry every day...about eveyrthing and anything. Thanks for checking out the brand new site...and for listening to Calgary's #1 Hit Music Station. Chad

NEW YEAR New Years Resolutions!!!

It's a brand new year! 2008. I hope your Christmas & New Years celebrations were full of family, food and fun. I know today my pants are feeling a bit tight in the waist. So, I have decided to come up with a list of some REALISTIC new years resolutions, which I will try to keep! #1. Get in SHAPE. Eat better. Typical stuff. Just be healthy. Seems easy enough. #2. Save money. I guess those shoes will just have to wait... #3. Read more. I forgot how much I love reading books. So I plan on reading a lot. Any good suggestions email me! These are the main 3 that I am going to work on. So far, so good.
It's that Season

It's that Season

It's that season, and I don't understand. I open up the paper today and more people are killed this weekend by drinking and driving. This past Friday I attended the funeral of the daughter of a family that has been friends with my family since I was a kid. Their daughter was killed in a drunk driving accident. So senseless. So supid. So please, before you head out to your Christmas parties over the next few weeks, (knowing that it takes forever to get a cab in this city) please take the proper steps to make sure you have a safe way of getting home. Let's do our best to have a holiday season spending time with family and friends, instead of having our friends and families say "goodbye" to us.

COSMO

Since my trip to LA a few weeks ago...and the return of Cosmo, our fahsion consultant to the Vibe Morning Show...everyone wants to see pics of him. So, I finally got around to posting them last night...you can now check themout on my facebook page, and if you are ever in LA, head down to Melrose Ave. and check out Cosmo in person at a store called New York New York. Happy Thursday Chad Martin chad@vibe985.com

I hope your prepared...just a reminder to have that winter emergency kit handy in your car, because you just never know what Mother Nature has in store for us. On the plus side all the boarders and ski bunnies (including myself) are ready for another season on the mountain. Now, I just need to get my winter tires on for the drive out! Drive safe! Dani

Christmas Oranges...

Ok. So, I think I will get more in the holiday spirit around Dec 1st or so. But I am in the HOLIDAY ORANGES aka CHRISTMAS orange spirit. I had such a craving for them last night I went and bought a box at the grocery store last night, and no joke...I ate at least 8 IN A ROW!! Is there something wrong with me?! Do people do this? Will I get sick?! I love them so much. I haven't had one today, but I know once I go home after work...they will tempt me. Mmmmm. So, today tell me about your fave holiday foods that you can't get enough of. Email me dani@vibe985.com. Pass the oranges!

YOu can shop local shops in the city and nationwide. It's cool. www.pigsback.com. Dani

Just Missed....

I'm back from a week off. I was down in Los Angeles visitng a friend and Micky Mouse, and missing major celeb run ins by mere moments. It seemed every time I left a mall, shop or restaurant there was a major celb who walked in moments later. I was shopping on Melrose, saw Oprah's best friend Gayle shooting some stuff there...left...got back to my friends place only to find out Michael Jackson was shopping in the same store I was in moment after I had left. Other stars I just missed, Lindsay Lohan, Britney, Paris and more. Oh well, glad to be back....35 more sleeps 'til Christmas!! Chad

Holiday Toys to Avoid!!!

Today's News Dangerous Toys For Sale This Holiday Season (www.msnbc.msn.com) A toy safety group released its annual "10 Worst Toys" list on Tuesday, highlighting both the hidden dangers like lead paint on a bathtub boat and more obvious hazards, such as a spinning plastic pirate's dagger. World Against Toys Causing Harm has released the list around the holidays for 35 years, but this year it came amid a rash of recent recalls, particularly of toys made in China. The toys on the 2007 WATCH list and the companies that make them are: 1. Go Diego Go Animal Rescue boat, by Fisher Price. Contains lead paint.

LONG WEEKEND!

3 days of sleeping in!! I'm so excited to sleep in past 3am. The bags under my eyes are telling me to get some extra zzzz's this weekend. It's a busy weekend for me. Tonight I have SLUMLORD Stacie's going away party as she heads back to Saskatchewan. Then on Saturday my sister and a good friend are coming up to Calgary for the Edmonton Oilers/Flames game. We BETTER make it on the jumbotron. And then Sunday it's the BIG CFL game. Riders vs Stamps! I'm originally from SK, so I have to cheer for my boys. It's going to be a wild weekend. Don't forget this Sunday it is also REMEBERANCE DAY, and to take some time to remember those who lost their lives for us, and who are currently over fighting for us. Wear a poppy proud and do please give to the veterans. They helped our country become the great place it is today.

Outta here

After this morning's show...Friday Nov. 9th...I am off to LA for a week to visit a friend!! Time for some celeb sighting and major shopping, especially with the $$$ being so high right now! Can't wait to hit Melrose ave in LA to shop...one of my favorite places with the best, and affordable vintage shops ever. Keep checking my facebook page for updated celeb sightings...if they happen. Have a great week without me...and Fuzzy...he's off too. Be nice to Mastermind who's filling in for us next week. Chad chad@vibe985.com

Sugar Daddy/Momma...do you want one?!

Yesterday on the show, Chad and I talked about this website we stumbled upon...www.seekingarrangement.com. What it is a website where you can search for a Sugar Daddy or Sugar Momma. It's like a dating service but you get paid to hang out with these people. Aka Sugar Daddy! I was searching the "Sugar Daddys" out, and one guy would pay a girl $20,000 A MONTH just to be his sugar baby. Would you have a relationship with a man/woman just for the cash?! Some of the 'sugar daddies' are pretty cute too...hmmm. Well if you want to see the site: www.seekingarrangement.com. Good luck. And if you get a

COFFEE Question...

I love my coffee. IN the morning...on weekends reading the paper...and after a good hearty meal. I am not picky about my coffee brands, but I do have quite a hankering for the Raspberry Mocha @ Starbucks. Delicious!! Try it out. Also, am a fan of the Double Double at Tim's. I am just wondering where you think the best place to grab a cup of Joe is in the city?! Any recommendations? dani@vibe985.com. Mmm. I heart Coffee .

Ear Infection

Hello...HELLO...hi. Ok. Good. I can still hear. So for the past few days ok maybe a week or so, my ear has been hurting big time. I went to the doctor last week, and he said I do have an ear infection. This is my first one I have ever had. And never want another one again. I took my antibiotic pills, but I think it's back. It still hurts. Or is it suppose to for a few days after?! I also put peroxide in it...some guy told me too. What was I thinking, I don't know. But it feels good when I do. Yikes. Any tips!! Feel free me to dani@vibe985.com.

Poppy Donations Stolen

It happens every year at this time. Some scum of the earth goes around stealing the poppy donations boxes from a restaurant, gas station or other business that has given thier counter space to help raise $$$ for our veterans. I could go on a rant about "who commits such a act?" I could write to you my thoughts about our veterans, of which my grandfather was one, and how time is running out for us to honor those who fought for us in WWII and other wars, back when sometimes they didn't have a choice about whether or not to serve their county. Instead I wonder...year after year...the same thing happens...people steal the poppy donation boxes. Is there something we can do to change the donation procedure? Make the boxes more secure? Anything?

Christmas Music already....

Well Halloween is over, and now it's on to the next big holiday...CHRISTMAS. Yikes. Chad and Fuzzy are ALREADY buzzing about Christmas. Am I a grinch? I'm not in the mood yet, it's like 2 months away almost!I do love the holidays, but it seems that it's too soon to be in the holiday spirit? Yesterday my sister and I were shopping at Sephora in the mall and heard...CHRISTMAS MUSIC. Too soon. I'm going to go put on my Halloween costume and eat some leftover candy. dani@vibe985.com

50 Days and counting....

There was Christmas music in the malls this weekend...is it tooo early???? Part of me is really excited for xmas this year. The other part of me doesn't want to burn out before the big day and then become a big fat grinch. Gotta Pace myself...and start a facebook group to have more Christmas 0.5 sometime in the summer...just to get me through the year! Chad chad@vibe985.com

Solar Powered Christmas Lights

The countdown to Christmas is on and I have to thank my mom for telling me about a great Christmas decoration find. These may have been available before...but it is the first time I have seen them....SOLAR POWERED CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. You can find them at WALMART, they cost about $40 for a string of 100 long lights, and the best part is you know longer have to worry about plugging and unplugging your xmas lights...cause these suckers are totally sun powered. Just find a spot to place the solar panel and you are good to go!!! Just thought I would share this bit of good news to save you some $$$ on electricity this holiday season.

Halloween is over...it's Christmas time!!!

The snow is good

Am I the only one happy to see snow on the ground??? My biggest escape is to hit Sunnshine Village for a day of snowboarding. And even though there can be 200 plus centimetres of snow on the mountian and not a flake in the city...seeing it this morning has got me excited. I just may have to get the board out for a tune up and waxing today....ya I know...a little premature...but a boarder can be excited can't he??? Happy Thursday! Chad

Should I Go to LA??

Ok, so the last time I was in LA there was a minor earthquake. I was planning another trip to visit a friend there in early November, but with all the crazy wildfires I might get smoked out? Is someone or something trying to tell me not to go there? That's all...brain dead Wednesday. Chad

Thanks for the weekend!

Wow...what a busy weekend! And I do have to say a hige thank you to everyone who came out in support. It all started Friday night at the Whiskey for the VIbe 98-5 Bras for A Cause All Pink Party. A Big thank you to the gang from Navan for allowing me to spill Pink Martini's everywhere! Then it was off to the women's show on Saturday and Sunday to do my on stage hosting duties with the men of the Young and the Restless. I had a blast with Cane (Daniel Goddard) and Micheal (Crhistian Leblanc) from the show on Saturday...they were great...and we raised $2600 for Bras for A Cause and World Vision by auctioning off a pair of jeans that Cane has worn on the show.
