I Feel Love


Hello Friends!

I thought I would take this lovely Monday to turn up Sam Smith's "I Feel Love" and send out a quick update!

I had surgery about 10 days ago and everything went great! I am home recovering now and enjoying all this extra time healing and getting stronger with my family by my side. I had my follow up with my amazing surgeon Dr. Carrie Carsello. She is THE BEST. She has made my entire treatment process amazing. Everyone at the Hospital of Central CT made sure I was well taken care of and I had an amazing view of Walnut Hill Park! 

The love I have received from far and wide has meant so much to me. From the cards, texts, amazing gift baskets and yummy food. I am so loved. It makes having cancer seem like a walk in the park, LOL. 

But the best thing to happen to me since my last blog update is...I GOT MARRIED!! I am so lucky to have Christina beside my in this fight because she is the best nurse, plant-mom, Rocket momma and everything in between. I am pretty sure I haven't done a load of laundry in 2020...that is how lucky I am LOL...I really am cashing in on those "in sickness and in health" part of the wedding vows early! 

My mom and dad planned the best backyard wedding every at their home in Simsbury. It was so amazing and thanks to the loosening of gathering guidelines, we were able to have both of our families there to enjoy the ceremony. Of course,the wedding was streamed live on Zoom and from what I have heard, the Zoom had some LIVELY characters! (My neighbor Joan is the BEST!!)

After the ceremony, the runner was rolled out and we were the recipients of a white carpet wedding parade! It was such a blast, my parents neighbors must have known the Rubensteins were AT IT AGAIN..this was NOT the first parade at my parents hours this quarantine LOL!

Everything has been such a whirlwind lately and so during this recovery I have vowed to take each day as it comes. In the coming weeks I will have iodine radiation. I am going to take this all as it comes and I know that I will come out on the other side with a badass scar and definitely enough material for a comedy show - (Christina accidentally tossed the Roku remote into my neck the other night and she thought she killed me, LOL)

Alright, Stay well everyone! 

Check out our wedding video! https://vimeo.com/431521327

The Day My Career Changed Forever

I am not sure how to start this post but I will be honest, this post isn't going to be satirical, or full of pictures of me slamming my butt against things, I think this post is a long time coming. Today I ran in the "Sandy Hook Run For The Families" in Hartford.  Myself along with 15,000 other runners were huddled in the streets of Hartford on a VERY cold morning, for one purpose, to remember 26 angels that were taken from this earth way too early. I ran this race because I am an avid runner and I have a goal of running 100 races in my lifetime.  Today marked race #27, which is fitting because 27 people died in Newtown on December 14th, 2012.  20 beautiful children, six amazing facility members and one mother who did the best she could raising a child who would turn out to be something bigger than she could handle. Without getting into politics and creating a hole I may have to dig myself out of, I will leave it at that. I am an assignment editor.  I am an a...

Mama Denise

As a few of my blogs have outlined, I am a die-hard nutmeg-er and a loyal Channel 3 viewer/employee/spokesperson. I remember growing up in the townhouse my mother owned on the outskirts of town...Simsbury town that is....and crowding around a small television in the kitchen watching WFSB before school and during dinner. I think maybe that is when I should have realized that I was going to eventually work in TV, but instead I was hell bent on making ice cream, working in college atheletics and completely denying any form of an idea that I would work in television. I remember watching my mother cook dinner, usually Mac and Cheese because I was a SUPER picky eater, and watching Bruce, Denise and Dennis every night while chowing down on a mean bowl of Annie's White Chedder Mac. I remember the old studio, walking down in Constitution Plaza during Christmas time to see the lights and admiring everything about Denise D'Ascenzo. Borrowed from http://dennishouse.wordpress.co...

Fat-athlon

So, I didn't forget about my blog...I was blessed enough to have the opportunity to travel to London and drink a lot of beer and enjoy some much needed time off. With that being said...I'm backkkkkkkkk I am so back in fact, that I decided it would be super duper fun to run a 5K full of obstacles after completely letting my workouts go to waste while in London. I am not sure when I committed to being a willing participant in the Fitathlon...I have a feeling I was coffee wasted when the email was sent out and I said 'yes' due to a caffeine high. A video explaining what a "Fitathlon" is can be viewed here-------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pu4ZINmTDQ So this morning, I laced up my chucks (not really, I wear New Balance) and headed down to The Rent in East Hartford and prepared to meet my team. Now, we are not the most agile group here at WFSB.  More than a year ago the station committed to bi-weekly boot camps and I have been pretty good abo...
