Yeh for real. That could happen! But I need your help. PLEASE!!! Back in June, Chuck & I told you that Regis & Kelly were doing a national search for “Live’s Women of Radio”. They need a lady (maybe me?) to fill in for a week with Reeg while Kelly is out. So I entered, ya’ll voted & thanks to you…I made it to the Top 100. Out of 100,000 entries. HOLY HAM! Now all we have to do to get me to the Top 10 is CLICK HERE and post on Regis & Kelly’s Facebook Fan Page that you want me to make it to the next round. Also – let them know why I would make a good co-host. I appreciate it! Thanks soo much. They will announce the Top 10 in August, so vote & post on the FB page as often as you want. THANKS SO MUCH!!! XO, WooWoo

So this weekend is GO TIME for a new car for me! Yay! After being hit a couple of months ago & having my beloved 1991 hoopty Ford Explorer destroyed…its time for WooWoo to put on her big girl pants & buy a car. For the record: I’VE NEVER HAD A CAR PAYMENT! So yeh, I am kinda freaking out. And I have to thank McCoy’s Granny for letting me borrow her beautiful Mercedes Benz every now & again to get around town. And more importantly…to get to work. You’d be listening to the “Chuck & Chuck” show if it weren’t for Granny. She’s the BEST!!!

So now its decision time. I think I definitely want a mid-size SUV. I loved my FORD EDGE – when I did that car endorsement for WYNNE FORD a couple of years ago, I did not want to give that Edge back. Loved it! So I am thinking these are my Top 3 picks for a new/used car:

1.) FORD EDGE

2.) GMC ACADIA

3.) CHEVY EQUINOX

Let me know what you think! I would looove some feedback for those who own 1 of these 3 cars, or used to won them. Or test drove one. Send me an email:WOOWOO@POINTRADIO.COM

I’m headed to the grocery store now. I’m craving a PB&J for lunch with some Baked Lays.

YUMMY! And sometimes…I put the chips on the sandwich. Gives it a little crunchy-crunch. DELISH! XOXO, WooWoo

Chuck and I are at Cox Communications Headquarters in Chesapeake right now. Were here to shoot some video for Cox Channel 11 about the FREE concert series at 31st street in Virginia Beach. Were also searching for Mike and Africa! Ha!!! Ya know from the commercials? Love them. Heres a pic from the set! Have a great Thursday – WooWoo

Hey there. I’m Woo Woo and I’m a bad blogger. I have an email from the boss man to prove it. HA! Thanks for the reminder & All apologies for not having updated this blog in 2 weeks. My mind has been elsewhere for a little bit – and I swear my brain is not functioning like it used to. HA! Maybe it’s the humidity? I dunno. What I do know is that I am starving right now. And that’s all I can think about is food. I’m meeting a friend for lunch today at Bakers Crust. Is it too hot to eat soup? I can never turn down a bowl of their yummy tomato soup. But soup…in July? Sounds like a bad combo to me.

Besides a slow brain, being a bad blogger & being hungry…I am currently in a vacation rut. Last year at this time – McCoy & I were packing up for Miami. 9 days of sun, fun & Sangria. We left last year on July 18th. BEST. VACATION. EVER. And I would love to go back. We have yet to even talk about where to go on vacay this summer…and I have to go somewhere. Our vacation days at the radio station don’t roll over, so I have 13 days to use by January. Where to go? Where to go? I looked into the following places…

1.)Watercolor, Florida

2.) Kiawah Island, South Carolina

3.) Hawks Cay, Florida

And if you have any opinions/ideas/info…PLEASE SHARE! I need a little R&R. Like now. Thanks & Talk to ya soon, WooWoo

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He says to the waiter, “Me want coffee”.

 The waiter says, “Sure chief, coming right up”. He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee, and the Indian drinks it down in one gulp, picks up the bucket of manure, throws it into the air, blasts it with the shotgun, then just walks out.

 The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter, “Me want coffee”. The waiter says “Whoa, Tonto. We’re still cleaning up your mess from the last time you were here. What the heck was that all about, anyway?”

 The Indian smiles and proudly says, “Me in training for upper management. Come in, drink coffee, shoot the sh*t, and disappear for the rest of the day.”

HOLY CRAP! I about fell out of my chair when the texts/emails/phone calls started pouring in yesterday from friends and family about Regis & Kelly searching for a female Radio DJ to co-host the show with Regis. It’s a DREAM COME TRUE! I’ve watched the show for years – even before there was a Kelly! And I’ve seen the contests where they offer local TV personalities the opportunity to co-host, but I’ve never heard of a contest where local Radio personalities are given such  an amazing opportunity. WOW OH WOW!!! Soooo – you have to vote for me. PLEASE! It’s really easy. I will post all the info below. Even my bio, pic and video. I really appreciate it ya’ll. This would be the best thing ever!!! You can start voting now – and you can vote everyday until July 16th! CLICK HERE to vote!! Thanks soo much. XOXO, WooWoo

MY BIO:

Woo Woo started her radio career when she was 17 years old and answered an ad for a Morning Show intern. That internship in 2001 led to a part time position on the Morning Point in 2003, and in 2005 Woo Woobecame a full time employee and member of the Morning Point. She’s known for her colorful HollyWooWoo Reports, her mom Peggy calling the show and of course – her name! Woo Woois a family nickname she’s had since the age of 2, when she ran around her parents house like a Choo Choo train screaming ” WOO WOO“!! Woo Woo is the youngest of 4 children, and married her husband McCoy in 2003. They have 1 child – a 4 legged little boy named Murphy. Woo Woois a local of Hampton Roads, and has lived in Norfolk all 26 years of her life. She was born in DePaul Hospital and attended Old Dominion University. When she’s not finding a way onto the Oscars Red Carpet, or chasing Murphy thru the park…Woo Woocan be found on her couch taking a nap. Waking up at 3AM is rough people!!! PS: For those who are curious, Woo Woo’s real name is Mary Kathryn.

 

  

Back to Monday! Hope you had a great weekend – I did. It was my Best Friend Lindsay’s Engagement Party. That’s Linds & I in the pic above. And then McCoy & I – and the last pic is my mom & dad. She’s getting married in July. The party Saturday night was a Hawaiian themed party – thus the reason we all got lei’d. HA! We had soo much fun – can’t wait til’ next weekend. So as I sit & type this – I’m currently BLASTING Eminem’s new CD “Recovery” in my office. Yeh – I know Eminem is NOT a POINT artist at all, but there is soo much hype about this album…that I had to listen to it. Shout Out to my co-worker Tias who up-loaded the CD for me. Thanks!

This is just a 4 day work week for me – because on Friday I am off to NYC for my BFF Lindsay’s Bachelorette Party. YES! Party central. Well – not so much. It’s just gonna be a Girls Weekend. No male strippers. No 4am raves at some seedy nightclub. Just shopping, Broadway shows, wine drinking & good dinners. I’m booking dinner for us at Dos Caminos in the MeatPacking District for Saturday night. I’ve heard that it’s the BEST Mexican ever – and I love a good margarita. HOLLA! It’s also close to the Standard Hotel & the infamous BoomBoom Room. I hope they let us in. We shall see…CLICK HERE to read a fun article the NY Post wrote about access to hot spots.

PS – I am more than enjoying the rental car Enterprise gave me after I got into that car accident. It’s a Jeep Wrangler. 4 doors. Top down. LOVE IT! I have been crusing all over town with the roof/top off. Ummm Enterprise, can I keep this? PLEASE?!!!?

Off to a meeting – then the gym – home to take Murphy out – maybe take a nap & then McCoy and I are off to meet friends at the Tides Game tonight. Hot Dogs & Beer? COUNT ME IN!!!!

XO,

WooWoo

So one morning last week I woke up for work at 3:30am and found an intruder in my bathroom! I screamed. McCoy woke up. And killed the intruder. YAY! No more cockroaches in our house. Yeh – the “intruder” was a giant, nasty cockroach. But even though la coocaroacha had been killed, I was still un-easy about the bug situation. So I called my buddies at AActive Termite & Pest Control. They came over to our house yesterday to treat it. Check out the video below - and Murphy the WonderDog makes an appearance too!! Thanks so much Kevin & Keith. You guys were professional, friendly & even pointed out my leaking washing machine!! HA! CLICK HERE for the convenient, effective & affordable solution to all of your pest problems!!
