Thinking Thursday

Ah, we are edging ever closer to that 3 day Labor Day weekend. Think Thursday and you know Friday can't be far behind.

Today, we talked about men, women and relationships. What do you do to keep your significant other happy? Spicing things up, unexpected surprises and simply asking how their day went were some of the suggestions. One woman said she made her husband happy by letting him move out!! Every couple is unique!

Another movie is set to film in Memphis.....it will star Matt Dillon and Kate Beckinsale along with David Schwimmer and Alan Alda. I read it is a political thriller and unlike many movie filmed here, it has nothing to do with the mid south. I like Matt Dillon ALOT! I would love to catch a glimpse of him, or even "Ross" would be fun to see. Filming is set to begin in October.

Ron bought breakfast this morning...sometimes it's actually nice to have him around.;)

That's all for me!

Wild Wednesday

Greetings all!

Another Wednesday, another sweet victory for the women on Battle of the Sexes....the world's oldest, yet still most popular radio game!.

Forecast says here in Memphis we might get some rain today, that's pretty much headline news! We could sure use the rain around here for sure!

Things to keep on your calendar.......

Thursday, 8/30 the last Peabody Rooftop party of the season with Dr. Zarr

Friday, 8/31 I'll be live at Bill Heard Chevrolet in Collierville, 4 - 6pm and the Delta Fair and Music Fest starts at the Agricenter.

Saturday, 9/1 Memphis vs Ole Miss!!! Tiger Tailgate Party at Toby Field before the game....you are invited!! And for you non-football fans, I will be broadcasting live at Wolfchase Honda from 2 to 4, free food and prizes!

And that's just to kick off this Labor Day weekend!!! And since it's only Wednesday, you have plenty of time to plan!!

Have a great day,

Fat Tuesday

Word is out on the fattest states in America.......... Mississippi is #1, Tennessee tied for 5th, Arkansas also in the top 10! Wow! The survey was done by the Trust for America's Health. So, this sparked a huge conversation today about obesity and a focus on kids who are overweight. The conclusion: get those kids moving, turn off the video games and TV! Easier said than done for some.

Also, if you want to see (and hear) something funny, go back to the Things You Missed category on our website and check out Miss Teen South Carolina from this weekend's pageant!! Boy, she can answer a question like no other!! I guess she was pretty nervous!

Reminder: You can see Ron and me almost every weekday morning on Action News 5 Today. We have a few minutes to drop in, have fun and sometimes we even give away prizes. Watch for us between 6:00 and 6:30am...I know many of you are up that early.

Songs I am enjoying on FM 10o....Rihanna's SHUT UP AND DRIVE, and the much more mellow Eliot Yamin and WAIT FOR YOU. Different....you bet, but both good. Also, we got a review from Jill Bucco yesterday about The Lion King, which is now at the Orpheum. SHE LOVED IT!!!In fact, she like it so much, she plans to go again! Get downtown and see it before it's too late!!

That's all for now.....have a great day!

Monday, Monday

Another weekend has come and gone. Had a great time emceeing the Susan G. Komen Survivors luncheon on Saturday. Met so many great women who are surviving breast cancer, 2 of those women diagnosed over 40 years ago....again Race for the Cure is Saturday, October 27th. We hope to see you there! You can run or walk the 5k or do the one mile family fun run. I also attended the Spirit of SRVS auction to benefit Shelby Residential and Vocational Services, it was a very fun evening.

Mom Moment: For those of you with kids, I know some flag football teams have already started playing, but for the rest of us, Fall soccer and baseball is about to get underway. We get this final weekend of rest you might say before those recreational athletics get underway. I guess it's better to shuttle the kids around than to watch them veg out to cartoons or video games!

That's all for me today, I look forward to meeting the 50 Women Who Make a Difference as honored by Memphis Woman Magazine. I will be emceeing that dinner tonight for the 11th year. Congratulations to this years winners and all their friends who will be there to support them.

Have a great Monday! Hope you have a 5 star day, no matter what your horoscope says!

Hello Weekend!

Well, Friday is finally here!

A busy weekend is on tap as we inch closer to that 3 day holiday weekend for labor day...we're about a week away. I'll be emceeing a Race for the Cure survivor luncheon this weekend. The actual Race for the Cure at the Shops of Saddlecreek is set for October 27th so mark your calendar now...it'll be here before you know it! It benefits the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

I'll be blog free this weekend, I try to avoid my computer on the weekend unless I'm up for a quick game of Spider Solitaire.

Be sure to listen to the Ron and Karen Saturday Show...."a best of " show from this week. Then if you are up early on Sunday, catch my Weekend Magazine Program, this week a focus on the Mid South Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Have a great weekend...back here to blog on Monday!

Hello Thursday!

Hi there,

What is going on in our FM 100 world......Well, today on the show we learned that Brett (with no last name) had been arrested once. Ron and I were quite surprised. He tried to explain they were bogus charges, I guess we believe him! :)

Anyway, no one won the big Powerball jackpot last night...I tried! Oh well! Maybe Saturday will be someones lucky day...maybe yours or mine!

Careful in this heat......drink plenty of water....I know you've heard it all before. Like the Watson's girl once said, "it's going to be hot, you're going to need a pool!"

What's going on off the air.....my dishwasher has a massive leak, concerned about water damage under my cabinets..not sure how long it has been leaking until we saw water damage on the floor. Now, the evening fun at my house is washing dishes by hand. I feel like I am 12 years old again, back at my grandmothers house in midtown where she had no dishwasher, except for us grandkids!!! Needless to say, until I get my dishwasher fixed, we will be using a fair amount of paper plates at the ol' Perrin house.

Have a great day,
K

Hello blogging!

Hi, it is me Karen Perrin, from the FM 100 Morning Show. This is my first blog. I'm sure tomorrow's entry will be much more exciting than this. Remember, anything Ron writes about me on his blog is absolutely untrue.....unless it is something nice!! :)

Thanks for reading....back with you tomorrow!!
