today's celebrity photo!!

Sure, Ron may have the host of Clash of the Choirs on his blog today....but my famous person of note is quite worthy as well!! Yes, a photo straight from our Stories of Light radiothon for Make A Wish......Buddy the Elf!!!!!

(pictured left to right, me, Buddy!, Logan and Ron)

Karen chooses Batman over Ron!!!

Here is a photo from our Make A Wish Stories of Light....on the surface it looks to be a simple picture of me and the Caped Crusader....but take a closer look.......there in the back, to the left....you'll see an angry Ron Olson! The look on his face implies so much......perhaps he is pondering....

Why I am not in that picture, I look more like Robin than Karen?!

Karen looks great, I wish I looked that good!

Why don't I have a cape?

Why has Karen chosen Batman over me?

Why did I just hear a "Karen and Batman in the Morning" jingle???

:)

Thanks Mid-South!!

Favorite Christmas Movies

Ah, tis the season to be jolly.....do alot of shopping and catch a few of your favorite holiday specials and Christmas movies. We started talking about the movie Love Actually and how much we all like that for a holiday movie, then we took calls from listeners on favorite Christmas movies!

In at number 1, Christmas Vacation, in at a close second A Christmas Story, followed by It's a Wonderful Life, Holiday Inn, Elf and Home Alone. Other movies that were mentioned, Earnest Saves Christmas (!), Scrooged, A Christmas Carol, The Grinch, Miracle on 34th Street, White Christmas, Bad Santa, Polar Express, Deck the Halls and Die Hard!!!


There really is something for everyone!!!

Does Ron own a brush?

A special thanks to Gary the dentist for this one.....as many of you may or may not know, Ron can have crazy hair. We don't hold this against him during the morning show, 4:30am hair can be crazy, add headphones and that can make for a terrible hair day!!

However, this photo came from Gary's daughter's wedding (note the tie)....the question most asked of Ron this night was "What's the deal with the hair?!?!?!?!"

Secret Santa Ideas

If you read my blog from Monday, you know I am having a shopping situation this year.....just not being my normal "early shopping-great deal finding" self. So I have turned to FM 100 listeners for help. One of my many gift dilemmas this year is for my bunco secret Santa. My group set a gift limit of $25 dollars and today so many of you called in with great suggestions. Here they are..........(in no particular order, only as I transcribed them from my scribbled list this morning!)...I hope they help you too!!!!

.......movie tickets, anything from Tuesday Morning, stemless wine glasses, cool candles from the St Jude gift shop, lottery tickets, White House Christmas ornaments, create a pamper basket, something from Kirkland's, manicure, a gift from Sephora, a Chic-Fil-A calendar, throw blanket, pamper stuff, homemade cheesecake, day spa mini massage, reed diffusers, digital key chain, cookbooks, belly dancing lessons, something from World Market, local event tickets, Christmas ornament, and finally Ron suggested airplane size bottles of bourbon. Go figure!!

Happy shopping!!

shopping panic!

Well, for me panic is officially setting in as it is December 3rd and I only have purchased 1 Christmas gift. one....uno....1....une......with about 29 more to go!!!

Usually at this time of year I am way ahead of the game, but for some reason this year I waited to even make my list until this weekend. What was I thinking, if there is no list, there must be no presents to buy? Right!!!! So the quest is on and even with a list, I inevitably always have one gift I forget I need until the last minute.

Secret Santa gifts can sometimes be hard if you draw someone you don't really know. Co-workers gifts are often difficult to come up with, that is depending on who work with. Ron, for example, is often challenging to shop for. He needs nothing, yet he has asked for a kayak. Yes, I said KAYAK. Yeah, let me run right out and get that! I don't even spend that much on my husband! So, I'll have to come up with something else that is semi-cool and that he might need....if you have any suggestions let me know. Lucky for me that his wife owns a cool store and she picks out my gift from him. There has to be some perk for all that I put up with from him on a daily basis. :)

Happy shopping,
K
