If you tune into WIDK morning news at 6 am each morning in Sunnyville, Nebraska you'll see Rose. Stumbling through a report about a local wiener dog race, her blond bob and splotchy, earnest eye makeup a fixture on the local news scene. When Rose was studing journalism in college, she quietly assumed she'd rise in the ranks until she would eventually be anchoring the Today Show, quipping adorably back and forth with Al Roker. But here she sits, six years after her appointment witih WIDK reporting on the milk prices, beauty pageants, the occasional car theft, Alderman election scandals and downtown green space cleanup efforts.

She goes into the pool restroom barefoot. She worked a stint in the infant room at a daycare center and was completely unphased by the diaper changing and poop getting on her fingers. Bodily fluids do not bother Judes, regardless of whether they come from human or animal.
Now that she's in her thirties, and still single, she finds it a bit harder to endure her romantic ideals but she will not give up hope! Surely there is a gorgeous man out there who loves to talk about his feelings, monogamy, loves to buy little presents for no reason, would totally get her sense of humor,
