Laurie Cataldo

I have written and re-written this first sentence six times now, because as someone who talks for a living, I'm always trying to find the right words to say. One of the best pieces of advice I got when I was first starting radio was to keep it simple. So I will.

I wrote a post on "10 Things You Probably Didn't Know about New Jersey," and it got me thinking...there's a lot people don't know about me too! I thought it was a fun way to share some stuff about myself, so here we go!

Very, VERY minor wedding planning is under way, and it's all started with choosing a date!

I've been engaged for less than a week, but of course, the advice -- whether wanted or not -- is already pouring in!

So I figured getting stuck in the elevator on Friday would be the most exciting thing that would happen to me all week. I was wrong.

I think most of us walk into work on Fridays in a different mindset than the rest of the week...after this morning's turn of events, I'm DEFINITELY in GTFO Friday mode!

We've moved into our (temporary) new digs. For all intents and purposes, the "radio" stuff is all the same -- our engineers did an incredible job. Here's the thing: All the slightly different things? They are absolutely driving me nuts, because I will openly admit that it's hard for me to immediately embrace change.

As the year comes to a close, I've been thinking about some memorable moments at The Point from 2011. This video instantly came to mind. Lou & Liz were nice enough to get Laurie Cataldo a red velvet cupcake for her birthday. But they made her work for it. Enjoy!
