Kay wearing a wing

So, I'm sitting here at work, wearing a blondish wig, heels and other high-fashion accessories, with eight babies on my hip, randomly yelling out, "JON!!! A little help over here!!! Gaaaaahhhh!!!"

Can you guess who I'm dressed up as for Halloween????

If you watch (or read about) TLC's reality show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8," then I bet you have a good idea. Yep! I'm supposed to be Kate Gosselin.



Guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I ended up finding 16 doll-babies at my house last night (Babycakes is SUCH a girl, right?!), which will help another co-worker with her Halloween costume for our contest at work: "Octo-Mom." LOL!

I surprised Ron and Amy at Mix 96 (96.1 FM) studio when I walked in as "Kate" for my Friday bit on the morning show. It was hilarious! If you missed the show, here's the link to the audio: http://www.qctimes.com/promo/homepage/audio_46314c6e-c569-11de-aefa-001cc4c03286.html

My friend, Melissa Coulter, sits right beside me here at work, and she's dressed up as Cleopatra. Very impressive costume that she made herself! Check out our TwitPic together here: http://twitpic.com/ninf9

Did you dress up for Halloween at work today?

Review: 'Adults' couldn’t have matured better

Sitcoms are back, and they’re actually funny. FX’s “Adults” is an original comedy following a friend group navigating New York and what it means to be an “actual adult.” From ever-mounting medical bills to chaotic dinner parties, the group attempts to tackle this new stage of life together, only to be met with varying levels of success.
