Hey Amelia! I meant to leave a comment on your other post but Happy Birthday to your Mom!!! Anyways, how did you go about getting your intership at Fox 10? It is almost time for me to get an intern and I've always wanted to intern with Channel 3 (sorry I'm a channel 3 girl), so I just want to know what you did to get in so I can get started!! Thanks!

She didn't hate Mags... just most animals, right?! wink, wink.

MiMi, I heard about the news. My mom even had it on FOX instead of Ch. 3 today... all for you I bet. What a trader! ha ha
Congrats!

Cute post. Ya, I have to agree, your mom is totally someone we all admire! P.S. I am now switching to Channel 10 news. (I don't really watch that much TV, but for my want to know what's going on the world- I'll turn it to channel 10.) What a fun job! Love, Cam
