When you put in an exorbitant amount of time at work and spend so much quality time with your co-workers, work /friendship /family is bound to spill over and overlap.
That is the 'feeling,' the 'mood' today.
I came in a bit early for a baby shower for one of our producers, Amanda. She and her husband are expecting their first child.
One thing for sure in television, you always find an occasion to throw a party, have great food, and hopefully HO-HO Cake!!!
Trifecta!
Today, we had a wonderful shindig for Amanda showering her with gifts to welcome her little bundle of joy.
Always a nice break from the nitty gritty to actually grab a bite to eat and hide from the piercing scanners or the phones, even if it's for a half hour or so.
The menu, superb.
Assistant News Director and Social Media guru, Howard, brought in delicious , home-made quiche. Fabulous!
A little something for just about everyone: vegies, cheese, crackers, pepperoni, cookies, chips, candy, and yes, HO-HO Cake!!
Howard braved it out being the only male in the room.
What's really fun to watch--as soon as the shower breaks up, the rest of the men in the newsroom swarm in and start devouring the leftover foodstuffs!
Like clockwork and on cue, 3-2-1.
A wonderful chunk out of the afternoon to spend with our 'extended family.'
Congratulations Amanda (and Mark!!).
