Oklahoma Storm Damage & Ratings

Well we had a great Mothers day. I went home Sunday to be with my mom and took the dog babes..Couldn't do much outside..AGAIN..because of the Crappy Weather, but its always fun to be with my mom..

Friday night all my girls and I went out with Shelly. She has a friend that works at Coyote Ugly. I had never been and we had a blast. Lauren, Shelly, Paul, Whitney, Me, and Ashley took a picture in Bricktown before we left to go..We ate Sushi at "In the Raw" and it was awesome. I am on an Edamame kick right now and love eating it..


Payslee had a therapy visit last Thursday at Copperidge Retirment. She wore her Burberry Dress, and was just a cutie pie head. We like going there to visit those folks. They are all so friendly and happy to see us.

After I got back from the farm on Monday the storms set in.. Non stop Storm coverage, tornados, etc.. What a mess..So sad for the folks that had storm damage. But so awesome how our state comes together to help one another out. After the storms passed I decided to let the dog babes go outside and play since the sun was shining..I left them out there playing for about 20 minutes and when I went out to get Payslee this is what I was faced with:

YES. Payslee had put her FACE in a puddle! Someone should really tell her that she is NOT a lab..but a foofy, poofy shih-tzu girl! So today they both got baths..I doubt it will last, but at least they smell like cake for now!

Still looking for a job..but yesterday I got a feeling like one was just around the corner. I'm very excited about that fact. Its been nice to rest, and get caught up on my sleep..but I'm a good worker, and I like working, so I need to get back out there..

On a side note I saw the lastest Radio ratings. You all probably read them in the paper.. Looks like the Twister & KXY did exceptionally well, and the new station, which I enjoy very much, "The BREW" 94.7. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers as I look for a job..I love you all!

What am I doing..dang.

I need to get on the horn updating this thing! Its hard to remind myself because I'm so busy.. NO. I'm not..Who am I kidding.. But really, it does seem like I'm staying very busy even though I don't have a job. There are two jobs that I applied for that I really want, so be sending positive thoughts my way that I get at least one of them..

I still appreciate getting emails from all of you, but I do feel like I should clarify something. JAKE-FM is still a Tyler media station..meaning, that if you email the folks at JAKE, they are still the same KKNG people..meaning they still dont want me. I say this because a couple of folks have been sweet enough to email me and say "KC, I just emailed that JAKE station telling them to hire you because you are the best!"..which I truly appreciate..BUT the same people who got rid of me, are the same people running that station, so they probably don't appreciate it..lol.. But I do thank you very much for caring enough about me to send the email. Some folks that KKNG sold to another company..It didn't..Just switched the format to JAKE..but all the same people are still in managment and still own the station..So thats why I'm telling you this.. But anyway, thank you..

I had a great weekend! Finally we didn't have wind.. I joined mom & Steve at the Farmers Market and picked up some plants for my flowerpots and planted them on the beautiful Saturday we had. Sawyer had a friend over, Max, a Mini-Aussie, so they had fun playing all weekend..Miss Payslee was ready for him to go home, lol.. She's such a diva dog!

MJ took me to see "Death at a Funeral" on Saturday afternoon..It was very funny. It has Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, and some other folks..Good movie.. Then Sunday he wanted me to meet his mom for the first time. They invited me over to the house for a Crab boil, which was pretty delish! We all had a great time, and she's a very nice lady..Next weekend I'll go home for Mothers Day on Sunday..but on Friday I have a big girls night out planned with Shelly..which always proves to be entertaining!

Cross Dressing Cow Birthings..

Hi Everyone! I had a GREAT weekend..MJ & I went to the farm on Friday to hang out with my parents..We were hoping for a great weather weekend so we could take off the Pool Cover for mom..but of course on Saturday the Wind was blowing 50mph! We went ahead and took it off anyway, and were glad to help..MJ also brought a new 'Surround' sound system for them and spent most of the day trying to find a "Best Buy" in Western OK..it was hilarious..I was like "Um..All we have out here is radio shack".. lol.. He kept needing certain parts and made 3 special trips to Elk City! But in the end everything got hooked up, and they LOVED it! He's seriously the BEST boyfriend!

Saturday all my "city" friends came down.. Brandon & Amy, Whitney, & Leslie & Bill for the "Miss Red Dirt" pageant in Elk City. Mom's friends were all there too, and we were all wearing 'funny t-shirts' so thats why she's sporting a Superman shirt..lol. Its an annual pageant emceed by Pollyester Kotton (Who used to fight with Flo McQuarter on the air) and its a bunch of locals dressed up as funny ladies doing talent contests and funny stuff. It was so much fun, and hilarious. It was good to see Polly too..here's a pic.

She was ridiculous, and hilarious..It was good to see Bill too..We both miss not being on the air everyday..We all spent so much time with each other that its weird not to be laughing at each other everyday. I applied for a job on Friday that I'm really hoping I get. Its a state job, and they actually want someone with an English Degree! Woo! So keep that in your thoughts..postive..positive about that!

This morning I wake up to this:

Yes, Its my Crazy Neighbors house and she has BUILT on added "FENCE".. Not realizing that A) It doesn't match the existing fence and B) She is the one that we are trying to keep out of OUR yards! I've decided now that she must have Schitzophrenia (however you spell that) because she's obviously thinking that people are trying to get her or something..I do hope that she gets help though, because she seems to be only getting worse!

Hi Everyone..

Well I'm still looking for a job.. I've had a billion offers to sell insurance, but they should know that I suck at sales, so I'm doing everyone a favor by saying no! I've also been approached to do some Coordinating jobs, but they don't pay much money, so I'm going to see what happens. I'm not being picky, but I'm also trying to find something I want to do every day.. I know I will probably not ever love anything like I love being on the radio, but who knows! I've never done anything else, so I may just find something magical! I will tell you this, making up new Resume's and uploading, and applying is a huge pain..So try to avoid that if you can..juss sayin.. lol.

Payslee & I have been going on a ton of therapy visits..Yesterday we went to Bradford Village and I actually got her to jump through her hoop! Yay! So that was funtimes. She was wearing the dress in the picture above..Its very cute, and made by an Oklahoma Lady. We have another visit tonight at the Bone & Joint hospital. This will be her first visit there, so I'm anxious to see how it goes. MJ is going to tag along with us and watch Miss Pays in action..

Bill's band played at the Arts Festival today..Speaking of, I'm going to try to get down to the Arts Festival before it ends..I love eating that Spinach stuff. MJ and I may try to go down there after we do our therapy visit. Sawyer's hair is finally starting to grow back, but he's still kinda odd looking.. I still love him though! I've been trying to plant some flowers around the house, and just do odd & ends stuff while I'm not working..I'm going to be honest though, not having to wake up at 3am is doing wonders for me. I did the Jackie Warner workout video the other morning and last night I seriously couldn't move! I've gotta get on it! So thats my "JOB" for now.. Love you guys!

ACM Awards & Farm Funtimes

First things first. MJ made his first trip to Canute this weekend..I took him home for some farm fun, but the weather didn't cooperate.. We did get to see some baby calves, and build a fire in the fireplace, but the wind/rain made it hard to do many outside activities. He did love seeing the farm though, and we'll go back out there next weekend when the weather is better. Mom did find 5 puppies abandonded on the side of the road. It just breaks out heart to see that. She has to find them homes. They look to be some sort of heelers, so if you have it in your heart to give one a home email me at kcsheperd@aol.com and I'll send you pics, and give you moe info..Here's a couple of pics.. They are very sweet, and have already had a hard life..They just want someone to love them. They will make great outside dogs, and would be great on a farm somewhere..Well I'm sitting here watching the ACM's, and here's my thoughts.. First off, I'm sad because I'm not going to be able to talk about it on the air tomorrow, and that baffles me.. However, I will always love Country music, even if some folks tried to ruin it for me..
Reba is awesome..I love her quirky comments (even though they are probably all written for her).. She is funny, and looks beautiful.. On a side note, I watched her in the "Gambler" this weekend on the Western Channel, and laughed my butt off! lol.. Remember that! Okay..moving on.. Just saw Clay Walker in the audience.. Wow..its been awhile since I've seen him on camera.
LOVED:
*Blake Shelton & Trace Adkins singing "Hillbilly Bone" Finally Trace gets on an awards show!
*Lady A winning their awards, and their performance of "American Honey"
*Rascal Flatts singing "Unstoppable" I've been missing those boys!
*Toby Keith singing "Waymans Song"..
*Miranda Lambert winning Record of the Year..and then hugging Blake. So cute!
*Luke Bryan winning, he has a hulluva mouth on him!
*FREAKING LOVED JASON ALDEAN!! But I love everything he sings.
*Miranda Lambert singing "The House that Built Me" She sounds great.
*Matthew McConaughey..Seriously, he is HOT.

*Miranda winning top Female Vocalist! I thought it would go to Taylor! Yay! How amazing for her!

*Brooks & Dunn singing "My Maria" and then winning Duo Award..I wish they didn't hate each other, they are better together than apart.

*Reba..Good dresses..Didn't LOVE the one she performed in, but she looked beautiful, and she's funny, and charming. I like her as the host.

*Darrius sounded great.

Weird Moments:
*Kenny Chesney lip syncing.. Why was he doing that? Not sure..I know he's taking time off, so maybe his voice is out of shape? ODD. He NEVER does that, so something's up..

*Laura Bell Bundy..Uh, what the hell? Butt Chaps, and line dancing? Pretty sure we could find the same thing at Grahams on a Saturday night..My thought: Gitty on Up, and Gitty on off the TV. Sorry Laura Bell.
*Taylor Swift: Why did she sing that song? What happened to Fearless?
*LL Cool J:.. Uh, Why is he on there? Like him as an actor/Rapper..Not a presenter.
*Julianne Hough: Why is she glowing orange? Too much spray tan Missy..
*Cutting off Frank Liddell when Miranda Lambert wanted to let him talk about making the Record of the year..
*Not sure I loved "Barbie Doll" with Jack Ingram & Dierks Bently
*Wondering why Sugarland is no where to be found? Including the radio? Wait..just saw them sitting in the audience..so that makes me feel better.
*Carrie's weird drapery Dress. She sounded great. I'm not a fan of the "Temporary Home" song..I know its meaningful, and the words are beautiful, but I've never liked it. Loved her GIANT engagement ring though..Wowza!

*Brad Paisley falling into the water.. I liked the song, but didn't think he needed to be all "Taylor Swift" and fall into the water.. He's good without all the 'theatrics"

TWO big Surprises: Miranda winning Female Vocalist.. Which was awesome, and Carrie winning Entertainer..Not sure I agree with that one. Overall thought it was a great show.. Even thought I'm sad I'm not a part of the Country Music Industry anymore, I will always love the music..Thats why I got into it to begin with..

So I had an interview.. & Taco Tuesday!

I did! I had an interview today for a Volunteer Coordinating position. I would be great at that, so we'll see how it goes. I think the interview went really well, and that makes me happy. I'm hoping to have more.. I'm going to go to Express Personnel tomorrow and see if they can help me out too. Nothing as far as 'radio' careers, but hey, a career at all is good! Plus, it might be time for me to do something NOT in radio.. I love radio more than anything, but at this point in my life, it just might not be possible to stay in the industry, and I need to find a job..So thats the plan for now..

Its Taco Tuesday! Which means this afternoon I will join my friends at Iguana Grill for $1 Tacos, and Tecate, and Swirls! Then we will go to Sara Sara Cupcakes for a fabulous $2 Cupcake! Its a great day on Taco Tuesday!

So I think I may have talked MJ into getting an Iphone.. He has been with Sprint forever, but his mom, me, my mom, and all his other friends have ATT, so he could switch and then talk to us whenever he wanted (like he doesn't do that now..lol) but he could do it for free.. and my fabulout friend Whitney works at the ATT store so she could help us out. I seriously still think the Iphone is the greatest invention ever.. and Now, Yes, I want the IPAD too..ridiculous..

Loved "Dancing" last night.. I thought Pamela was good, and Kate did better.. I don't think she's going to hang in much longer thought.. the Bachelor guy did pretty good too, and the Ochocinco guy.. I really like watching it this season. Also glad to see Jet & Cord survive another day on Amazing Race.. I LOVE those guys! Such great ambassadors for rodeo, and the state of Oklahoma.

I taught my final Class at Francis Tuttle last night..I'll try and teach again sometime, but I can't do much not knowing what my 'work' schedule is going to be.. Its going to be so odd working an 8-5 job.. weird.. I've been 'early morning' for so long!

Talked to Leslie last night (Bill's Fince') and he's doing a great job with the kids right now while she plans her wedding.. A CAR ran through their house last week! RIDICULOUS! Apparently the kid was texting or something, and lost control and rammed the car right through their house.. It was awful. They got it patched up, and no one was hurt, but they've been in the process of trying to get that worked on.. Scared the crap out of the kids for sure! Thankfully no one was hurt, even though they WERE home at the time.. They will still have the Vegas Wedding in July.. so he's moving on with his life too.. We are trying to just be positive, and not worry about all the Crap going on with KKNG..Onward & Upward friends! Thanks for your kind words!

Deep thoughts.. by KC Sheperd

Miss Payslee at Windsor Hills Nursing Home.. They loved her there..

The first one being.. The Pedi-Egg.. Its an egg that eats/scrapes the flesh off your feet.. I know this is a bizarre thought to start off with in my blog, but I just came in from Wal-greens and saw it there and I've been thinking about it since then.. Why did they have to make it an egg? Okay..moving on..

So yesterday MJ came over to take me to dinner, and he had a surprise for me.. do you know what it was? THIS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A COACH BAG! I know! Can you believe it! Me neither.. lol. He picked it out all by himself too! I LOVE it. Its been so nice to have a great boyfriend during all this unemployment crap.. I tell you, God sent him to me at just the right time! Then.. (yes it gets even better) he brought over "New Moon" the Twilight saga to watch! I know.. I know.. He's the BEST! So we had a great night last night.. We also went to Iron Star for supper, and man do I love that Mac & Cheese! The Food is always delicious there..

Today I took Payslee to a Health fair at Douglas High School to teach kids about Therapy dogs, and Assistance Dogs.. She had a great time, UNTIL.. They started blowing up balloons.. Thats screetching made her scared, and she started shaking.. She calmed down after a bit, but she does NOT like that sound.. I sometimes forget that she is still just a baby.. She's only a year old, so she still has a lot of sounds/things/places to get used to still..but I'm so proud of her, and she does such good things for people.. We have several visits lined up for next week.. She got a new Yellow dress made by her very own seamstress.. Debbie at Doggiedudsbydeb..

It is SO CUTE! Here's a pic of her in it.. She looks pretty in Yellow, and it's very springish!

Tonight MJ is coming over and we are going to watch "Zombieland".. with Woody Harrleson.. I have my doubts, but everyone has told me it was funny.. (By the way, I loved "New Moon).. As much as I try to dislike the Twilight stuff, I just can't help myself..I'm a girl.. lol.. Tomorrow we're going to go meet Mom & Steve for Supper in Weatherford.. I went to Sams and got them some stuff, so we'll exchange.. Still no job for me.. Filled out more applications this week.. Just waiting for the Opportunity to come along..I know the Lord is taking care of me, so I've got to be patience and let him work through me.. Happy Saturday folks!
