In a MARTUCCI MINUTE

SUBURBAN WoW Debuts Friday on WX Kim TV! WEEKEND FESTIVALS ONE CLICK AWAY :-)

KMartucci — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:16:00 GMT

This weekend can't come SOON ENOUGH! Let's begin at the beginning, shall we?

Today come dance with me and the studio gals at DANCE PARTY FRIDAY! It all goes down at 8:35am (ish - after the Dave Price Weather hit)... DROP ME A COMMENT WITH YOUR DANCE PARTY REQUEST (at the bottom of this blog) and don't forget to dance with us at your cubicle! (Are you listening to me Patty-with-a-y?)

Next up at 10 am EASTERN (sometime earlier Pacific) I have a BRAND NEW WEATHER KIM TV PROGRAM:

SUBURBAN WoW!

It will be brought to you live from the CHICAGO BURBS and hosted by my two favorite blogging mavens: MELISA-WITH-ONE-S & WEASELMOMMA! You can read their blogs HERE and HERE respectively.

What will happen during SURBURBAN WoW? You'll have to tune in and find out - but if their FAKE CHICAGO SKYLINE is any indication, you can bet there will be some mighty fine HOKEY HAPPENING (and that is just the way this weather girl likes her TV.) Have a lqqk at their TOTALLY ORIGINAL promo below:

Be sure to tell a friend, tweet, facebook, plurk, reddit, whatever-it about it! The link to cut and pass along is this: http://www.livestream.com/weatherkim

And what would a weekend kick-off be without telling you about a couple area festivals?

33 DAYS TO GO UNTIL MR. & MRS WEATHER KIM!

KMartucci — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 01:36:00 GMT

WOW! 33 Days until Ben and I say "I do."

I am in the middle of about 4 kind of big projects for the wedding: programs, escort cards, menu, and a photograph project.

While doing research for the photographs, I have been having a lot of fun (and enjoying seeing my mom and dad from when they were much younger!) Here are a series of photos I scanned into my MacBook Pro from 1965. Enjoy!

Above check out my mom's only bridal party member, Diane. HOLY GOLD HAT THING!

This is my pop, when he had hair. Love the classic skinny bow tie!

That's my mom and my late Grandpa, Bob. (For years he worked as a boiler inspector. He also was a printer; He had a 1930's printing press in my grandparent's basement.)

I was raised Catholic... but I don't ever recall seeing oriental carpets in church before... Anyone else remember this? Anyone?

I LOVE this picture! Yay for my parents being married for 44 years!!

WUSA Viewers threw me a SURPRISE Wedding Shower! I put them in a WEATHER KIM TV COMMERCIAL!

KMartucci — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:39:00 GMT

So...

This is me walking into what I thought was a Weather Kim TV get-together last Tuesday.

Except, it was a Get-Together PLUS!

Spence & PQ pulled a fast one on ole' WX Kim

When I entered PQ's Waldorf kitchen...

I met a bunch of familiar faces (or, at least, ID names!) Everyone was hanging out and waiting for me to make the drip down Rt. 210 into Charles County.

This is Spence's wife, Patty. She had two plates made for me and Ben. Everyone signed them.

When she has them fired and glazed, the pink autographs will turn a pretty red, one of my main wedding colors :-) I just *love* this - thank you!!

That's Babs (who, btw, made some FABULOUS chicken salad!) The tier of cupcakes was oooooooh it is SO GOOD especially because SOMEONE knew that weather kim is a fan of cream cheese frosting (the non foil papered ones were the cream cheese ones...mmmmmmm)

PQ nails the details! If you are not familiar with my blog, or how Big Ben and I met, I "winked" at him online - YES - I am not only a COUGAR, but I picked up my man online! LOL!! PQ had our "winker logo" printed up on some coctail napkins.

Here we are gathering around PQ's living room because (per usual) I had a plan! (Ant Linda's looking over her part of the "plan", while (from left to right) Emmy (Bret the Cyclist's wifey), PQ (peeking out from near the table) and MS. USA listen)

The "plan" was hatched outside PQ's back deck...

Wanna know what it is???

BALD BIRDS?

KMartucci — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:02:00 GMT

BALD BIRDS!

Have you seen one at your feeder?
Drop me a comment.
Snap a pic and let me know!!

Word is that some bald birds are showing up at local bird feeders. Mostly Blue Jays and Cardinals are affected. Poor things.

There are lots of ideas floating around as to why they are going bald and here are so

me of the things I have learned from my Wildlife and Weather Update, published by David Mizejewski: It might be caused my skin mite infestation (since birds can't groom their own heads).
Severe stress and malnutrition can also cause baldness (now that I am in love with a "birder", I have become fond of the birds who visit our feeders in the back yard.) This is also the time of year when birds molt (shed out) their feathers. So, it might just be a rapid molting.

Either way, I'll be watching for them. Do me a favor? Start feeding the birds :-) It is a wonderful way to sip a cup of coffee and watch from the kitchen window.

XOXO
