Since I visited Friedman’s in Dunmore last week … it’s all I can talk about! You have to stop in and check out all of the new items … and try not to drool over the Rebecca Minkoff handbags. (I’m pretty much in love with these purses!) Some of my favorite celebs carry them like Reese Witherspoon, Hayden Panettiere, Ashley Greene, Kourtney Kardashian,  and Brooke Shields!

Friedman’s now carries Rebecca Minkoff!

AND exclusively carried Longchamp! I see these totes everwhere! Love them!

This is this season’s most wanted boot … Barbour boots are all the rage right now and start at $115! Friedman’s has the fur liner inserts, too! They come in a TON of colors!

Consider this a little preview of the store! Stop in and see Phillip Friedman soon! (Guys, you can’t go wrong with any of the above for your lady this holiday season! wink wink)

I know i’m going get hated on for this by some . . . but i’ve been blasting Michael Buble’s Christmas cd all day and i’m TOTALLY in the spirit! Hmmm … kind of makes me want to start some Christmas shopping online this weekend! This has GOT to be the earliest i’ve gotten into Christmas … but the longer we can keep the spirit of the season alive, the better … right!?

Michael Buble Christmas is pretty much old classics done in his old-crooner style. It’s awesomely traditional.

On Friday, we Bitch & Brag . . . have you checked out our weekly feature  in The Weekender? http://www.theweekender.com/bonus/bitchbrag/BITCH__BRAG_110211.html

If you haven’t seen this video yet … you have to take a couple minutes and watch. It’s SOOOOO cute, but so cruel. Jimmy Kimmel asked parents to prank their kids and tell them they ate all of their Halloween candy. The two kids at the end are SO cute.

IT’S ALIVE!

Special thanks to  @ Custom Computers in Kingston for bringing my laptop back to life.  It’s been running awfully slow the last few weeks.  My first thought was that I did something stupid and downloaded a virus.  Actually, the hard drive crapped out.  Luckily the guys were able to save all my files (note to self:  BACK THAT THING UP), reinstall, and get it back to me in a few days.

THE ROCKY & SUE SHOW ON ICE

We’re off to shoot a video with Ryan Craig, Captain of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins today.  The Pens decided to get involved with our Annual Soup Kitchen broadcast in a big way.  You will be hearing more about this cool promotion over the next few days.  Let’s Go Pens!

HANGING WITH THE EX

This was the big topic on today’s show:  Is it ok to hang with the ex without telling your current partner?  Lissa didn’t seem to have a problem with this.  Sue and I disagreed, and most of you said NOOOOOOO!!!!

Here’s a few comments from the KRZ Text Club. (34-2-35)

If she wants to catch up she can do it on the phone

If she wants to see old boyfriend is it ok for him to see his old girlfriend?

If there is nothing sketchy going on with you and your ex you shouldn’t have to hide it from your partner. I am frends with my ex and have gone for drinks with him but my boyfriend knew all about it.

I’m a gay guy and I still hang with my ex-​girlfriend and her boyfriend hates it. I don’t understand it!

I’ve been in a similar situation and even if you don’t have the intentions if it was a serious relationship sometimes the thoughts can fluttter through your head especially if there are drinks involved. Tell your boyfriend what your plans are because if he finds out from someone else or happens to “catch” you I’ts going to make the relationship you have now lose trust and possibly even end it.

When my boyfriend and I first got together I was in a similar situation with my boyfriend now and his ex gf. They still occasionally would talk and go to lunch. He was always honest and told me when they were meeting up. Although I did sometimes get jealous I appreciated that he told me and I expressed I didn’t really like it and he stopped seeing her. If she doesn’t tell her current bf she’s meeting up with him it seems like she’s trying to be sneaky and hide something.

We appreciate you making us a part of your morning routine.

I was just in the employee breakroom microwaving my hot chocolate. Directly to the right of the microwave is the company bulletin board. Ah, the company bulletin board…. We all stand and stare at it whenever we use the microwave (which is a LOT, cuz radio people are fatties). It’s adorned with everything from Entercom Employee Relations Policies (speak up if you’re feeling sexually harassed – NO coworker has the right to tell you you’re attractive) to posters from local restaurants. I find it especially amusing that our list of medical benefits is hung right next to a restaurant flyer advertising chili cheese pizza……like, if you eat THIS, you’ll definitely need THAT.

Just for giggles, I’m dying to print up a tiny note that says “If you can read this, you’re fired” and nestle it between two other random pieces of paper, so the next person who’s spacing out using the microwave will see it and wonder waitaminute – what the hell?

I had a brief flashback to the company I used to work for, prior to this one. They would put “inspirational quotes” on the bulletin board to motivate their employees. So I’d sit there on my break, eating Doritos, staring at these priceless little word gems. They weren’t even original! They were always lifted from some fruity patooty book like “Chicken Soup For The Soul” or Oprah’s magazine. I would read them and think I just might hang myself today. Because they were meant to be uplifting but they had the exact OPPOSITE effect. They just annoyed the hell outta me and reminded me on a daily basis that my boss (aka, the chick who makes all the important decisions AND all the money) was dumb enough to think fruity patooty publications like this were cool. AND she thought they were awesome enough to record, regurgitate, and pass along to the rest of us. How many wrong turns did I take in life that THIS is the person making my decisions? This is the person steering my career? And why am I forced to think about this as I sit and innocently eat my Doritos? I’m supposed to be on break, dammit!

So thank you, Entercom, for being real. Thank you for using an employee bulletin board for its true intended purpose – to inform us how many gastrointestinal  anti-inflammatory remedies are available via company insurance when we inevitably indulge in the chili cheese pizza…..everything is right with the world. I love my job.

P.S. If you can read this, you’re fired.

Jeff let Amanda pick out his outfit this week! Surprisingly, he loved his military style striped button down from Old Navy in WB. Amanda’s dress comes in a bunch of different colors and her necklace is from ON too!

Check out today’s EMAIL WEDNESDAY on PA LIVE!

Yesterday, I went to Old Navy in Wilkes Barre and got to pick out MY outfit and Jeff’s for today’s PA LIVE. I’m surprised Jeff let me choose his clothes because we all know how picky he is with … well … everything. He was quite happy with my choice of a military style striped button down.

The dress i’m wearing today is SO comfortable and casual … witht he option to dress it up. I paired it with leggings and boots because it was chilly this morning. It comes in a bunch of different colors and I can’t stop thinking about it in hot pink … might need to detour to Old Navy in WB again this weekend and grab it!

Stop into Old Navy in WB soon – they just put out huge displays of outwear (really cute puffy vests) and sparkly winter sweaters! Oh, my necklace is from Old Navy, too! Every girl I’ve walked by today stops me and compliments it!

Watch PA LIVE weekdays at 4pm – or catch the video here.

Jeff went as LEATHERFACE for Halloween this year!

Have you ever gone shopping … loaded all of your items onto the counter … gone to pay … and then realized YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR WALLET?! Happened to me this morning at Target and let me just tell you … I felt like the biggest idiot EVER! I told them i’d come back for my stuff tomorrow, but wow – talk about humiliating!

Oh … and a word to the wise and a note to self – DON’T WATCH AMERICAN HORROR STORY before bed. I literally couldn’t fall asleep until 3am and all morning I keep THINKING I see someone walk by – and there’s no one here. That show is crazy good … but definitely not something you should watch immediately before bed if you’re easily spooked!

Can we have ONE holiday where I’m not stuck alone in my house, on the verge of tears, eating my feelings? Apparently not. Halloween was very scary for me. Partially because I had to finally acknowledge that my neighborhood is completely unsafe for children, and partially because I was subjected to Nancy Grace’s cheese wedge bare thighs on Dancing With The Stars. Brrrrgggghhhhaaa…. Nightmares.

I stayed home all evening and waited patiently (read: pathetically) for trick-or-treaters. Got my hopes up (mistake number one) and bought FIVE BAGS of candy (mistake number two). I really should’ve suspected I wouldn’t have many, what with all the drugs and hookers and stabbings and stuff in my neighborhood, but eh, dare to dream! So there I sat. Like an old person whose wheelchair had been positioned by a window for those few precious hours of mandatory sunlight.

I waited. And waited. Hoping……….. for a knock at the door. (Felt like prom night the remix)

About two hours in, I finally got three little trick-or-treaters. Adorable! Two candy corns and a Mario Brother (or maybe two of Lindsay Lohan’s teeth and a Kardashian brother – couldn’t really tell).

I gave them the mother load – about a bag of candy a piece. One of the kids ran back to the car and yelled to his mom “THAT WAS THE BEST HOUSE!!” Haaaa…..yeah buddy – dat’s right. Tell your lil friends. You know where to come for the good stuff next year (I just realized that’s probably the same catch phrase used by the meth dealer down the street. Uh-oh).

So I settled in to watch DWTS. Tried to eat, but lost my appetite when there on my TV screen was death in its rawest form; Nancy Grace’s upper thigh.  With all due respect to Jason, Freddy, and Chucky – you guys ain’t got nuthin’ on those tree stumps. That visual haunts me. Even though Halloween is over, let us be vigilant in our fear. For Nancy Grace is like Freddy  –  she’ll get you in your sleep. With a judgmental viciousness, she’ll interrupt you til you pass out and she smothers you to death. I’m not kidding.

Jiggle-a-jiggle-a-smother-a-smother-a…..hold me. Next holiday, please.
