If you’re like me, you've done quite a bit of online shopping in the past week or so. I was actually cyber-shopping out ahead of the game and received one package the day after Thanksgiving. Then I shopped more over the holiday weekend and on Cyber Monday, and there are five more orders on the way.
December 2, 2013 The Black Friday crowds have dispersed, but it's still expected to be a busy holiday shopping season overall, and the stores will be crowded all the way until Christmas.
November 22, 2013 Watching the movie starring Tom Hanks has become a holiday tradition for many of us, and it will no doubt appear on TV a few times this holiday season. And kids can experience a very real Polar Express right here in East Texas this weekend.
The Texas State Railroad will have the Polar Express running in Palestine, and kids can even wear their PJ's!
It's been a while since I was at the mall and that's where I found myself yesterday afternoon, walking through Broadway Square Mall and there it was, the Salvation
Army Angel Tree! It's right there between Chick-Fil-A and JC Penney and seeing it reminded me that Christmas will be here before you know it.
November 18, 2013 Have you tallied up how much your family spends on the turkey dinner at Thanksgiving?
Counting that green bean casserole with the french fried onions on top, cranberry sauce, the bird, and other trimmings, the average cost of Thanksgiving dinner is $44.04 this year.
November 15, 2013 Do you add up how much you spend on Christmas gifts? I don't! I always think, "Well, this is only twelve bucks, or that's a good deal for sixty-five...." and I don't tally it all up at the end. But I think my total ends up being right around average most years.
November 14, 2013 What was your college major? UT-Tyler students, I hope you're not studying too much history. A new report says you may regret it later.
My college major happens to be on the list of the most commonly regretted college majors. Woot woot! Apparently you should not follow in my footsteps.
November 12, 2013 Growing up, my mom was always the one to cook the turkey at Thanksgiving. The turkey was always baked to perfection (and sometimes imperfection) in the oven at my parents' house and at Grandma's, using the traditional method with the traditional stuffing inside.
An animal control officer's job description typically includes many responsibilities, such as performing emergency animal rescue service, enforcing County and State animal laws and regulations, and responding to calls concerning domestic or wild animals. But, when one local officer received such a call, what he found was far more than an average animal rescue.

Thanks for hanging out with me tonight! I'll be here every weeknight from 7 to midnight, and we'll rock out and laugh and have a good time. But let's start with this cool story I found from another East Texas town. Got a kid or two or three? Me too. And I always like it when good things happen to good kids.
The Make-a-Wish Foundation has been granting wishes to children with incurable diseases for many years, and an East Texas toddler became the most recent wish recipient over the weekend.
Guess where he's headed?
Y'all, I just have to take a moment to brag on my dad. His fun-loving personality definitely earned him the #1 Dad Award this weekend at our church's fall festival - and left me with some pretty awesome pictures of a great weekend with Dear Old Dad.
October 17, 2013 Lonestar Gun Shows brings their huge gun show to Tyler's Harvey Hall, Saturday and Sunday October 26 and 27th. Listen Between 9a and 2p beginning tomorrow (Fri 10/18/2013) to win passes!
