Books
I'm SO excited to finally be involved in a book club with my girlfriends! Props to Kelly, Jessie, Amy, Sarah C., Karen, and Sarah D.! Each month we read a new book, and this month's book is "American Gods".
About me: Born and raised in Iowa, I'm a midwest girl just looking for an opportunity to get my dream job -- as a reality tv show host. Any one. I'm not picky. Ok, so that might sound a little pathetic, but at least my dream isn't to be on one of them, right? (unless it was to find the coolest red-headed dj in the world)
I have one dog - Abby, and one cat - Izzy. And the newest addition to the family is an adorable baby boy - Easton! I recently left my job as an afternoon Radio DJ at a top 40 radio station to become a stay at home mom! I will still continue showing off my insane knowledge of entertainment news on a part-time basis, so please continue to listen and support Z102.9 (www.kzia.com)
I am also venturing out in the world of interior design. I'll be working part time from home and working on a brand spankin' new website for my family's business (www.yoursbydesigninteriors.com) and helping out as a design assistant. It's something completely different and new to me, so feel free to pass along your love and support in my new journey!
Who I'd like to meet: Ewan McGregor, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Vince Vaughn, Johnny Depp, Paul McCartney, my oldest brother Gene, Whoopi Goldberg, Mark Grace, Nickelback (again)
I'm great. Crazy that we're both on at the same time. I find myself never on myspace anymore. Not sure why. How are you? I miss you. If it was in the budget....you'd have been there! lol How's the little one. Mines is ready to graduate! :)
Karol, How have you been??? Hope you will be able to get a sitter and catch our show on Friday June 5th at First Ave Live, This will be way better than THUD! I promise! Have a great week!
I miss you too! Thanks so much for checking in. I've been a horrible friend to everyone! I've been totally anti-social. Ugh!!! I have got to get back into the swing of things!!! I would for all of us -- including E -- to get together for dinner some night!!!! Thanks for the early b-day wishes!!! I keep forgetting that its even coming up! ;o) I MISS YOU!!
Well, I'm jealous that you get to go to Chicago, :-P I got asked to come back Easter weekend, but just can't afford it right now (I haven't gotten my refund back yet, but will probably have to use it for the kiddos' annual vet visits... boo!) I'm actually heading back to CR next weekend for Amber's baby shower, but won't be home for long.... :( I definitely plan on coming back more frequently this summer though and going to some Kernels games, so we'll definitely have to get connect!! I actually might be getting a job with the Iowa Cubs - just working weekends, for extra income, but we'll see! Jack (GM of the Kernels) is going to put a call into some people he knows there for me on Monday, :)
Hey there! Des Moines is going alright.... It's no Chicago, but it'll do for now, :) I'm finally getting the hang of my job and have gotten involved with the music scene here a bit - doing some booking for The House of Bricks and am working with a band called Rocket Transfer - you should check 'em out, I think you might like 'em! www. myspace. com/rockettransfermusic. I'd so love to go to St. Louis for BH, but that's quite the drive! 6 1/2 hours from here!! Darn it anyway. How is everything with you?
Hey chica! How are you!? It seems like FOREVER since I talked with you last!! We really should get better at keeping in touch, ;) We should plan on going to a Kernels game this summer or something.... for old times sake!
please help Stillchyld win the battle of the bands! they are hoping to compete in the milwaukee and chicago area! it would help greatly if you will vote for them. go to the link and sign up as a fan---and it would be even more awesome if you would repost this to as many people as you can! thanks so much!
Aleshia-(Stillchyld's vocalist and pianist)
Hi Karol...sorry I never got back to you. I can't even remember if it was on myspace or facebook, but I would love to get the boys together sometime for a play date!! You let me know time and place! You look great and your son looks very happy!
