Hi Everybody!!

Finally, a chance to sit and blog and catch up with all the gossip I'm sure I've missed over the last  couple days.  I've been swamped with work and assignments and yesterday, I was amongst seals, sea turtles and hippos (Oh my!)

In fact a friend called me at one point and I had to tell him-- "Um, now is not a good time to talk..."  He said, "Why? What are you doing?"  And I said, "I'm on my stomach lying on a dock feeding sea turtules lettuce-stuffed squid."  He politely said he would call back later.

Before feeding the Sea Turtles, the West African experience was AMAZING.  I got to  look right into the face of hippos and throw treats into their huge gaping mouths, and then I got to feed a porcupine!  Patting them on the back is like nothing you've ever felt before.  They have quills of different sizes in different places all over their bodies, and they live with the hippos!  Can you believe they are the one of the only animals hippos are afraid of?!  The porcupine was really cute, just  like a dog, sniffing around, looking for bananas out of my feeding tray.  And they have a very musty smell that reminded me of a ferret. 

Finally the seal show-- and thankfully it was warm out when we did that part of the shoot.  Kia the seal was with me, and trainer Nicole Kodrick.  We brushed her teeth, played with toys, checked her nails, made her dance...  and I got to touch Kia too.  She felt like a wet dog! I loved it...

Well, portions and clips of my trip to the Aquarium will be coming up on the 5pm next week so like always, tune in!

And tonight-- we're focusing on the weather. It's going to be a disaster during the show, so you better tune in for complete information on roads etc.  And be careful tonight!

Happy St. Patrick's day, I'll try to check in over the weekend too :)

KL

Cooler...first twice this week? Wow...lol

Added this to Rob's blog, thought I'd add it here in case you're out and about:

Hi everyone...just a report on my travels home (2-3:15). Again, temperature by Honda.

Trenton 30 light sleet
W. Trenton 30 light sleet
Wash Crossing 30 light sleet
Lambertville 30 mod sleet
New Hope 29 mod sleet
Lahaska, Buckingham 29 mod sleet
Doylestown 29/28 fairly heavy sleet

For those of you venturing out, I took NJ 29 up to Lambertville then 202 S the rest of the way. I'd describe the roads as driving on mashed potatoes. Overall not that bad although the anti-lock brakes kicked in a couple times. Just give yourself enough room and you should be OK.

I'd say < 1" sleet just about everywhere. At least up here in Bucks, this looks like snow but it seems to be all ice pellets. Interesting storm...

Be careful out there!

How does one answer the phone while "on my stomach lying on a dock feeding sea turtules lettuce-stuffed squid"?

I think KL has some talents we didn't know about.

That and maybe I wouldn't want to borrow her cell phone right now.

Sorry for all these posts...

Today's challenge for KL: See if you can go from, lets say 5:00 to 6:00 tonight without speaking these words consecutively: "Team coverage"

Can they do that without getting arrested?

Ladies : it's a great opportunity for " exfoliation ".

JT - Thanks for the "girly" tip! However, I can think of better, less painful ways to exfoliate!

Despite the fact that I haven't left the office all day - the day has flown by. Probably because I'm dreading leaving. Let me just say - I do NOT have the correct footwear on. I didn't know it was going to be this bad!!
