The loss of a dear friend

I got a call from a dear friend of mine in Hibbing, Sarah Kivela. I couldn't talk, was on the air and she said, "Kerri, you must call me back ASAP."

A week ago Sunday I got a call from a very dear friend Loni Calgaro. Her and her family are very special and precious to me and my family. Her oldest son Dustin(22) spent a couple years living with us several years ago. They also have a son Travis 20, daughter Caitlin 16, and Mcenzie 4 1/2.

Loni and I talked about "stuff" and we shared the excitement of seeing each other this coming week end. Caitlyn and I have always been great friends too! I love her so much. She will be missed. I am still in shock. I just sent her a text yesterday, wondering why she didn't reply, now I know why!

Please pray for them!

Psalm 18 (King James Version)

Psalm 18
1I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

My day

I gotta tell you, keeping track of what you eat makes ALL the difference in the world! I am terrible (still) and grabbing a bite of this and a bite of that.....it adds up! and fast! It's only been 2 days of doing www.twye.com but it's really opened my eyes and I'm realize I need to work harder on my eating habits.

Geez, I'm workin my butt off, you would think I could watch it a little closer! I am gonna! darn it!

Boop a thon training tonight-I had cortisone shots in both heels today and didn't do what the Dr told me. He said no "trotting". walking is fine....well, I trotted. It's not like I'm going super fast and slamming my feet on the ground. Anyway, I did pretty good, was able to keep up my pace better than last week, so I am getting a little better! I'm still at the back of the pack! That's OK, it's given me a chance to get to know another gal in BOOP A THON, Karen. I enjoy our conversations!

Gotta get to bed! Hey, day 3 of no TV! Man it's been tempting, especially before bed. AND GREYS ANATOMY is on tomorrow night. I think I might have to watch it. I deserve it! right?!

Take Care,
Kerri

Have a great Wednesday!

Fun with Family

My mom, sister Kristi & Kelli, brother Ken and niece Laura headed to Barnsville Friday morning for the huge city wide sale! Boy did we find some special deals as you will see. My mom loves the green purse she found, she was a hippy in her past life, so it makes sense. She loves poodles and I just happened to find a cute little poodle purse for .50. Still wondering how she missed it! Either way, she gets the goods!

Man I found some cool stuff! goggles, raquet, neclace, hello kitty basket, undies apron! WOW!

Ok, so my mom found the undies apron, sister Kelli found a new skirt. I thought it was a Christmas tree skirt but she insists it's not! hmmmmm

Good thing there was 2 princess crowns, you should have seen the fight that broke out after finding just one! Mom and Brother Ken, you look precious!

So my deal of the day was a Sond cyber shot 6 mega pixel camera. $25! took this pic with it! NICE!!!!

Neice Laura, she loves pinapples! sister Kristi and mom! I love you guys!

Sure had a great time with you guys, I am so glad I took a vacation day and joined you! I'm realizing more and more how important it is to spend a little time with those you love! I know I won't go to my grave wishing I worked more! You know what I mean?

Take care,
Kerri

I love M&M's

I really need to stop grabbing M&M's, chocolate, chips.......Sure, it's about all I eat, but it's really holding me back. Geez, as hard as I work out, you would think I would have a little more will power!

Alright, enough is enough! I need to make a promise to you, yes you! And I need you to ask me how i'm doing.

I promise to not buy another bag of M&M's! hmmm, for a month! How bout I take er a month at a time! yeah! SO, no M&M's until May 16!

I promise to also cut back on snacky foods and focus on eating better!

Have a great day!

Cancer

HI there...so last night after the SIOUX lost big time my dear hubby asked me to watch a TV show he had taped the night before. (I had to do station work, so I missed this show). It was the Diane Sawyer special on Randy Pauch author of The Last Lecture ....at the time, Randy had been given 3-6 healthy months to live. As I sat and watched this special, I was in tears, what an amazing man. Amazing wife and 3 beautiful children. If you don't take the time to do anything else, please watch this, it's a little over an hour long, but you will be incredible blessed by Randy. I'm going to buy his book today!

(see the YOUTUBE video here)

Here is Randy's blog too: HERE

I am also a Mike Gallagher fan, www.mikeonline.com

message from Mike

As I drove into work today, Kevin Wall was in for Mike and at the close of his show he shared the news that Mike's wife Denise took a turn for the worse......cancer......


As I sit here getting ready to do another morning show, I have tears in my eyes, but yet I'm thankful for a husband who battled cancer and won, he is now cancer free. I have my father, diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer: mantel cell lymphoma

Most people die from it, my dad DID NOT. He's had an extremely hard battle the last 2 years with it, but won! I called my dad last week and he gave me the good news! CANCER FREE!

Please visit our website www.97kyck.com and look at the information about our Relay For Life coming up, join our team! Help us make a difference!

God bless you and remember to tell the people you love that you love them. Give em a big hug too!

My beautiful daughter and loving husband

A KNIGHT FOR A PRINCESS

This is my husband Steve and youngest daughter Savanna at the Daddy Daughter dance called A Knight For A Princess. This is the second year they have gone and they had an absolute blast! Well, Savanna did anyway. Dad isn't fond of dancing, but you bet Savanna drug him out there on the dance floor! I was only allowed to stay long enough to take a few pictures!

Paying closer attention

You would think I would have this down pat by now. You know, eating the right foods and eating SLOW! Old habits die hard and now that i've learned alot from my last "over" fills, I feel like I'm paying closer attention to what i'm eating and the speed at which I eat.

My husband just said to me, "honey, you've spent 39 years learning how to eat wrong". You can't expect to just "unlearn it like that"! Thanks honey! That is very true!

I'm "trying" different solid foods, trying to figure out what I can and can't eat. I tried a Southbeach lunch today, green beans, chicken and sauce. It was small pieces of chicken, but I couldn't eat it. I ate about 1/2 and it started getting uncomfortable, so that was the end of that!

I think I ate too fast! dang it! Hey, i'm eating a heck of alot slower than I used to!

ok, I'm very tired, had to host the Colgate Country Showdown last night at Borrowed Bucks and i'm way too old for it!

Enjoy the week end and keep prayin for more sunshine!
