Today is my brother, Erik's, birthday! He is 24. We celebrated by mixing
I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm on our upcoming Christmas album
Jazzy Christmas To You II! (Check out
Jazzy Christmas To You! on
iTunes.) We also voice tracked
O Come, O Come Emmanuel and
While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night yesterday!
Okay, so
maybe that wasn't actually part of the festivities...but we did have a fun breakfast of
German Pancakes (an oven soufflé dish, click
here for a recipe that's similar to ours), presents (of course),
Dairy Queen ice cream cake (a Chaston tradition), birthday signs all over the house recounting his accomplishments and activities during the previous year, game playing, and movie watching. All in all, a pretty sweet birthday! (We had
Happy Joe's Taco Pizza yesterday to kick off the day's celebration!)
A highlight birthday present for Erik was an orange label LP first edition release of
Chicago's first album when they called themselves
Chicago Transit Authority--a title that the CTA required them to discontinue using, hence the band name simply being
Chicago!
I only have two days left of my internship at
Y105. I am really going to miss being on-air with
Chris Farber on the
Y105 Wake-Up! I have absolutely loved interning with
Cumulus again (I interned last summer, too)!
After doing the "Olympic Moment" during the Olympics on the morning show, I started doing a "Back-to-School Tidbit." I love researching for the spot! Tomorrow, I'm going to talk about safety tips for college students and their parents. Tune in at 9:50 a.m. CST on
Y105.
More tomorrow!
