   Ever have that feeling? If it's not one thing, it's another.

   My friend who is helping me get this last video done for the AGT thing has had numerous things come up that have prevented us from getting together these last few weeks. I feel like last minute Charlie again, as we are set to get the video shot, edited and sent in this Tuesday, 1 day before the deadline.

   At least it's a whole day better than last time, which was totally my fault.  ;)

   But get it done I will. If there is another hang up, I will do it myself, as this is FOR SURE the last chance for the show this year.

   Let see, what else....oh, yep, the baby thing is on hold for a year.

   I have sat down and seriously thought about the things I've always said I wanted to do, but haven't yet, and how if I can't even get off my duff to do them when I am totally free and able, they sure as HELL won't happen once a wee one is here. So I am putting off the baby thing for a year so I can do those things, like go to Ireland. That's going to take time and money, so the year will give me a chance to do that, then build my time and money back up.

   I am also looking into the future as far as my job goes. My shoulder has been bothering me again, and I'm starting to wonder if I can keep doing this for much longer. I may need to look into getting a clinic job, where the physical part is greatly diminished, but still keep doing this, as I do like it....for now.  ;)

   Mad Eye is growing like a weed and sends his regards. He is a little terror now, but Rowdy tolerates him as only an older cat can, and plays with him at times as well. He loves him, just wants to retain that air of aloofness when I'm around so as not to raise suspicions. LOL

   Oh, and that sound you hear? That's me kicking myself, as I just missed out on a contest at puresolo.com to do a record. The qualifying songs? Defying Gravity and I Dreamed a Dream! AAAUGH! Siiiggghhhh.... I could have kicked ass on those. Oh well. I'll keep an eye out now that I know about the site. And I'll let you all know when I have looked into the site more and start recording stuff!

   That's it for now....oh wait! I took a glass casting class at Prattt here in Seattle and it ROCKED! I am trying to scrounge up some people to do a semi private 2 part class with me as I can't take the one they give as it's on Saturday nights. Boo!

   Ok, now I'm really done. Have a great weekend and Father's Day tomorrow! Hugs!  me  :}

Re: I feel like Roseanne Roseannadanna when it comes to getting this AGT video made!!!

Well Kari, thanks for the update.... GOOD LUCK on that AGT video!!! Moody seems to be doing great & making friends with Rowdy. I think you had so many things bubbling about in your brain.... AGT, Baby, Kitten, Cat, job etc. you just could not focus and concentrate on any one thing.... Maybe you should just settle down for a bit & concentrate on one thing at a time. If AGT doesn't pan out spend some time looking at all/any singing opportunities. Every bit of exposure will be a new experience & may open up new doors. A voice like yours is too good for just kareoke. AGT is not the only vehicle out there. Move on the travel and baby one step at a time & each thing will work itself out. Watch out for that shoulder, maybe a step back to something less physical will help that out. God bless & keep well !

Awesome update, thanks Kari! Glad to hear the kitties are doing well and getting along. As a single parent I applaud your decision. I love my son but adopting him did put a kibosh on several plans I had. Now I will have to wait until he is old enough to join in or old enough to leave on his own for a short time. Not to mention old enough I can stop paying most of my wages to child care and can start saving again! LOL!! Good luck with the video, I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed! ;)

Thanks for the update, Kari! In regards to AGT-I think alot of people are anxious for you to be on it this year. There are a few acts that were ok, but in the singing catagory, not so much impressed me. Which is probably why we want you on there so bad. If AGT doesn't work out, you can send videos to people like Ellen DeGenares, who is always looking at new talent-can't hurt to send that in. Take the baby thing one step at time-it'll work out for you. Good ol' Mad Eye-I knew he'd fit right in with you and Rowdy. I'm glad you taken up new interests as well-keeps you from nutsy worrying about other stressful things in your life. Keep us posted-and we'll keep our fingers crossed for you for AGT.

Make sure you get that video sent in; I’m suffering from a bad case of Kari withdrawal. Need to see you on AGT this year! Glad to hear the new kitty is fitting in keep us posted if he needs surgery, it was his LUCKY day when you found him. As for the rest of it take one thing at a time and everything will work out.

Yeah, I like Maura's suggestion about sending a video to Ellen Degenares - anyone know how Ellen can be reached by e-mail or anything so we can all send "please give us Kari" suggestions her way??

Re: I feel like Roseanne Roseannadanna when it comes to getting this AGT video made!!!

Hey, I found out how to send a video to Ellen ! There's a link on her site that lets you give info & send a video link for anyone you'd like to suggest for her record label.... what song would you like to send Kari? Anyone with suggestions?

Re: I feel like Roseanne Roseannadanna when it comes to getting this AGT video made!!!

May I suggest she goes thru songs that Judy Garland use to sing.

She sang a lot of great songs that showed her range and I think one of those songs would be good for an audition song. She could "belt out" one of those songs, it would please the judges (remember their ages) and the audience would just enjoy hearing the song. Don't play to younger people because I don't that many of them vote because this isn't American Idol.

Just don't sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow :)
