Today I got to wear the headset again… and it’s getting less and less intimidating, I haven’t gotten to the point where I can completely multitask..but I’m getting there. The chefs today made this AHMAZING strawberry shortcake- as much as my mind was saying avoid it, it was just too good to pass up! Cyprus Grille in Embassy Suites will definitely be a place that my mom and I go before I head back to school!

After the show rapped and Tracey and I cleaned up the set I headed to the newsroom to help Susan…but then…

Aaron said he was going to the new Urban Outfitters…I said I wanted to go and Susan graciously let me go! I had so much fun..first off the store is amazing…three stories with a really cool city vibe. Aaron let me interview a few people and then we went back to get Melanie in order to develop the story a little bit further. Melanie made the story more about the economic impact of the store and what that meant for Grandby Street. She also did a package on the heat because it was so hot outside today.  I know I was burning up, black pants was not the way to go..times like that I really wish someone would bring back those ugly zip-off pants where you could change your pants length with one zip (I know they were ugly..but I’m talking about for convenience).

Since one of the packages was about  Urban Outfitters, Melanie decided to experience it herself (SHOPPING). She ended up getting this really cute, simple dress!
After we shot Melanie’st packages, I got to step in front of the camera which I enjoyed. Melanie and Aaron were great about constructive criticism and tips!
