3 Favorite Finds

Need a good laugh?

Just watch some of the Real Botox Diaries Gina Miller and I are doing together.

We tape these vlogs at the station and insist they be unrehearsed, relatively stream-of-consciousness, and not rushed like our television segments demand.

I am cracking up watching the "Wonderful Wednesday" edition in which we apply lip gloss like 12-year-olds. Gina is making my day demonstrating this tasty, affordable, neutral product that she stocks up on like toilet paper.

She also hypes her favorite energy bar, found here in her fabulous blog.

I celebrate Runyon's, a spectacular family-owned furnishings & accessories store I recently discovered in Roanoke, Texas.
Think The Arrangement and Hemispheres--but with better prices, sprinkled with custom pieces by local artists.

Here are a couple of my favorite finds, which are SO much prettier in person.

Tapestry, chenille and leather half-moon sofa; 
Custom wood-carved Bible verse plaque on iron pedestal--incredible personalized gift I mention in vlog; 
and my chunky iron firescreen.


 
 


By the way, never heard of Roanoke? It's just northwest of Southlake and southwest of Flower Mound, near a recently refurbished shopping area featuring Babe's Fried Chicken and Twisted Root.

Make a day of your shopping adventure. You can't go wrong.

At the very least, watch Gina & I in our latest edition of the Real Botox Diaries.

That Little Blonde Girl

The first week of my first tv anchor job, my milk came in ten minutes before the start of the early morning newscast. My newborn daughter was just three months old. I recall standing in my nursing bra and skirt in the tiny station bathroom, frantically blow-drying the massive wet spots from my periwinkle Casual Corner blazer. That little girl turns 25 this Friday. One of my most vivid memories of Nicole Elizabeth’s childhood-- of which there are millions-- was her first day of 7th grade in a massive middle school outside of Dallas, Texas. We had moved mid-year from Phoenix, and her dad, little brother and I were walking Nicole to her new classroom. Her future classmates were sitting on the floor outside, lined up against the hallway, waiting to leave for P.E.. As we approached, one little blonde girl shouted, “New girl, sit here!” Another joined in, “No. Sit here!” And another, “What’s your name, new girl?” I was stunned--flab...

That Time I Was Almost a Pop Star

Anri's Circuit of Rainbow music video (That's me on the right!) It was what I'd always imagined life would be like as a big-time singer. The massive, metallic stage opens like Moses parting the Red Sea...the recognizable guitar riff blaring throughout Tokyo's legendary Budokan arena. Five of us dancers on pedestals of varying heights, box-step and bounce...summoning the tens of thousands of screaming Japanese fans to get louder. Anticipation builds with every "Come on!" Let's go! Get it up!" we declare. Finally, the beloved Anri dances on to the stage...and the crowd goes wild... The year was 1988. I had dropped out of college for two semesters after a fighter-pilot-older-brother-of-my-high-school-friend told me he "saw Americans working" at Tokyo Disneyland . "You should go do that, Tracy!" he said, standing in my family's Tampa, Florida kitchen during Christmas break of my sophomore year. I called nearby D...

What? He's Becoming a Priest?!

I haven't enjoyed the reaction to a story like this since  my feature on the  55-year-old grandmother trying out for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders! And the topic couldn't be more different. Brett Metzler, future priest The strong response this time is to the story of Brett Metzler, a 20-year-old, former Athlete of the Year at Liberty Christian School in Argyle, who left Texas A&M after his freshman year to join the priesthood--and how the number of young men joining the priesthood is WAY up across the country. The story is the most shared on our station website with 6,000 likes so far. And yesterday I received an email from a Mrs. Judith Verrier in the archdiocese of Washington, confirming the same thing is happening there: Dear Ms. Kornet, Thank you sincerely for your recent article on seminarians and the priesthood, which casts a positive light on all that is good about the Catholic priesthood.  I can ...
