Summer is beckoning!
If you don’t know what sweeps is, there are four sweeps months: February, May, July, and November. During those months, Nielsen measures how many people are watching our shows, so we know how much to charge advertisers. The last day of May sweeps this year is this coming Wednesday, so I’ll breathe a sigh of relief after tonight’s News 13 This Weekend at 10:00 is over!
There’s always more pressure during sweeps to deliver a better product, to be even more on top of your game during those months. Needless to say, it’s always nice when you can relax a little, like we’re doing in this picture!
It’s been a pretty good month for me so far. I finally got out to the beach to enjoy some of the sun, and my fiancé and I finally set a wedding date! We’ve been engaged for almost a year and a half now, but it’s certainly about time! We’re getting married June 27, 2009, at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. Afterward, we’re going to have a ten-course Chinese banquet. I can’t wait! I also get to shop for not just one wedding dress, but THREE. That’s because Chinese/Vietnamese brides usually change dresses during the reception. The more dress changes you have, the wealthier your family. I get to look for a traditional American wedding dress, a traditional Chinese wedding dress, and a traditional Vietnamese wedding dress. Talk about shop ‘til you drop!
I’m also excited that we have a News 13 MySpace section! Visit my page at http://www.myspace.com/tuquyenmach.
Also, don’t forget that we’re streaming every newscast, including my shows! Catch News 13 This Weekend on Saturdays at 6:00 and 10:00 and Sundays at 5:00 and 10:00. Click here to watch: http://www.wmbb.com/gulfcoastwest/mbb/news/streaming_video.
That’s it for now. I’ve got to go get ready for the show! Have a great week, everyone!

About Me
I was born and raised in the hills of northeast Georgia, in a little town called Gainesville near the sparkling waters of Lake Lanier. My parents are Vietnamese immigrants who came to the U.S. more than 20 years ago. The sacrifices they've made for me to have a better life have made them my inspiration. I feel extremely honored that you've chosen to put your trust in me. I'm happy to be here in Panama City, and I look forward to getting to know you.
