the weather is not delightful......

The weather is cold that means it is winter in the mid south. Get that calendar going, you better know when Valentines Day is …..February 14th!! It’s on a Saturday this year, so no getting out of it guys!! At least do a breakfast in bed, which would get you off the hook for the rest of the day.

Then on Sunday, February 22nd, Steve and I invite you to Soup Sunday to benefit Youth Villages. This will be our first Soup Sunday because it was always sponsored by the radio stations across town…..well, now we are part of those stations! J More info to come on our website, but know it’s 2/22/09 from 11-2 at FedEx Forum, with free parking in the attached garage.

Speaking of soup, one of my favorite soups is the Hot and Sour from Formosa on Quince at Kirby. I love it. It is perfect in everyway. Perfect when you are sick, speaking of which, lots of folks are getting sick this time of year. Poor Brad who works here, his whole family is sick. It’s never fun when you or your spouse is sick, but throw in a sick kid or two and it makes even worse. Remember, especially this time of year, wash those hands! That[‘s my public service message for the day.

Have a great day,

Karen

I am back!

Here I am after a pretty long "non blog" writing drought...so much for that resolution to blog more! :)

As I write this it is a Friday and this is one of those Friday's that is very deserved. While you are online today, be sure to sign up for a spot at our Conley and Karen Chef's Table Class. If you got to my blog on our website, click on the contest bar that you can see. If not, go to http://www.941kqk.com/ and enter! You can also check out the music on this Class Reunion Weekend on our audio stream, check out Brad's tour of our upcoming new studio, and see footage from our free lunch day at Sole Restaurant downtown. (FYI...Sole is also our Discount Dining Deal partner and you can get a 1/2 price gift certificate to dine there.) Take advantage of all the cool things on our site.

So, I, like many of you, am looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I'll spend some time with my kids, grocery shop (the pantry is near empty so it will be a full cart shopping trip) and maybe I'll even.....gulp......clean the house! UGH!!
Okay, maybe not. :)

Have a great day,

Karen

Things to do in 2009

Okay, I have decided to go ahead and make a list of things to TRY to do in the New Year, I refrain from calling them resolutions. I always tend to break those. So, here is my list of things to do in 2009....

1) Eat healthy...cut back to one (okay, maybe two) soda(s) a week.

2) Be patient....especially with my kids...they won't be young forever.

3) Get organized....not the whole house right away, maybe just a counter, a closet or the spare room to start.

4) Write thank you notes....and many of them.

5) Let as many people as I can know about Classic Hits 94.1 KQK!

6) Set a better example for my kids, using "please" and "thank you" more.

7) Blog more often....maybe even get crazy and finally join Facebook.

8) Remember to take pictures!

9) Have fun.

10) and finally try not be bothered that Steve Conley never buys our morning coffee.......ever..... :)

Happy New Year!!!
