I'm back!

After having a baby at the end of July, I'm back reporting after three months maternity leave. Some people actually did say they missed hearing me on the air, but that was mainly family and I think they felt obligated! But it's great to be back. On even just a few days vacation I feel so out of the loop -- being in a newsroom you are just saturated with news and current events and what's happening in the state, country and world. I love it, and I missed it. But having a new baby did keep me plenty busy while I was at home. Now I'm staring at pictures of him at my desk, and blabbing about him to whomever will listen. Amanda and I share baby stories too. I'm lucky that reporting for Utah's Morning News keeps me so busy running here and there that I don't have time to sit and dwell on him, like, "I wonder what he's doing right now..." It's usually sleeping or napping at this stage so I'm not missing much. Oh well, at least there is a radio by his crib so he will grow up to be a KSL Newsradio fan!

Great to have you back on the air. We've really missed your reports and the energy you put into each story.

Mary,
It is so good to have you back on the air. I really missed the energy and enthusiasm you bring to your reporting. Congratulations on your new baby. Any chance you might be able to post a picture?

Mary,
I don't know you, nor am I related to you, but I wanted to let you know that I for one did miss hearing you, and have been wondering when you were coming back. Congratulations on the new addition, and welcome back!

Day after Halloween, I heard you comment on your love of Snickers. As a lover of Snickers myself, I have contemplated what a lifetime of Snickers would do to my body, and came up with the following:
I eat Snickers when I'm hungry. My last diet was a laugh,
And they'll prob'ly put this on my epitaph:
It was butter that she wanted,
It was sugar that she craved,
And a Snickers Bar that put her in her grave.
