Well – let’s see, I started my career in radio in 1998 and swore I would never do anything else. I come from a very musical and theatrical background. My father was a musician, which is how I got my name - “Amy” by Bobby Darin. He stop playing when I was born and then became a music teacher and now runs an old historic theater in Odessa – The Ector Theatre – with my mother. My mother was a dancer – tap and ballet – I don’t know when she stopped dancing and decided to teach dance – but she was my tap teacher. I also took ballet and jazz lessons from the age of 4 until diagnosed with Lupus at 15. I took classical piano lessons for 8 years also. So, as you can see music has always been in my family. I met my husband when we were 16 years old – in my hometown of Odessa, TX – at a Permian High School Football game – where we both graduated. We’ve been together ever since and have 2 kids. He is a Registered Nurse at a local hospital. My son, Jake, is 16 and plays football for Coronado High School (GO STANGS!!) where I am the booster club president for the football team. I absolutely LOVE high school football and have taken it upon myself to “adopt” all 200+ Coronado football players and call them all “son”. I am VERY passionate and protective of those kids! My daughter, Bri, is 10 and plays drums in a little rock band at School of Rock and is in the Honor Choir at her school. She clearly inherited the music from dad and I am excited about that! Her ultimate goal is to be a drummer and lead singer of a rock band – and she will I’m sure! And basically that’s about it – but just for fun I will give you 5 “fun facts” about myself - 1. I have a very real fear of bad odors! 2. Feet absolutely disgust me – and is not something anyone wants to tease me with. 3. I have a titanium mesh plate and nine screws in the back of my head. 4. I LOVE Karaoke! (Don’t judge) 5. I make my bed every night before getting into it because my covers must be straight and perfect. There ya have it – that’s who I am! I’m excited to talk to you, and feel free to follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Email or Instagram – I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends!

Don’t Tell A Woman To Smile! [Video]
Ladies - do you suffer from 'Resting B**** Face'? Do you get told from random people that you should smile more often? Does it frustrate you when a stranger (usually a man) tells you to smile when they have no idea what is going on in your life?
Well, I found this HILARIOUS video today of a poor random man who told the lady he was sitting beside to smile.
What Happened To Me?
Something has happened to me and I’m not sure what. I had a minor brain injury not too long ago – but I can’t believe something as small as that would cause such a HUGE change in my personality!
My family and friends are a little concerned as well...
Fair Food!
Oh happy day!!! It's time for the South Plains Fair - which means it's time for my favorite food of all time!!! FAIR FOOD!
Disc Golf Could Get You Shot!
The game of disc golf has become more and more popular over the last 8 years – but in Midland, Texas it’s become DANGEROUS also!
13 Years Ago Today
8:25 a.m. - Odessa, Texas - 13 years ago
It was a rare occasion that my husband woke up early to take our son to pre-school instead of me having to do it, but on this day he did and I was the one that got to sleep in. I was grateful for this opportunity as I had worked late the night before doing an event for the radio station I was employed with.
Stupid Fights All Couples Have
Oh the joys of being married! No, really! There are joys to being married! There are also ridiculous arguments that between married couples – such as how to properly install a new roll of toilet paper (the end piece goes over, NOT under – duh!)

Mascot Eats Worker [Video]
Mascots have a tough job! They have to entertain the crowd wearing a costume (sometimes in the scorching heat) with no ability to speak and risk running into something or falling down. Not to mention the never ending line of children waiting for a picture...

Awhhhh pumpkins. One could say my love for pumpkins is similar to love 'Bubba' has for shrimp in Forrest Gump!
