Karen's Story
Life
2 cats, 1 dog, 2 kids, 1 husband (same one for 22 years, how does he do it?), one job for 18 years...one great life for 48 years. I wonder what I do the next time around?
School
Everyone knows who that was...Mrs. Lemon let me discover who I was without being judgemental. If I could do it over again I would have not worked while in high school and focussed more on school activities.
Getting love notes written on silver backing paper of a Kit-Kat...ditching one time during all 4 years and of course I got caught....My father suggesting I get a nose job in freshman year (You know its big when your dad suggests it) and no one noticing it was fixed for about one year. I loved playing pretend you are chinese while ...Expand for more
playing volleyball in gym class with Laura Nofz. She was so much fun.
Workplace
Waitress during/after high school...I was pretty good. (I married my best tipper in my 20s while working a second job.)
Loved waitressing with Candy at Wags in Oakbrook. We used to stuff a burger in our mouth on the way down the steps to our lockers, and swallow it on the way back up. Until one day, Mr. Balducci, was walking down while we were running up, and we busted out laughing because we got caught, and spit all over poor tolerate Mr. Balducci.
In sales for alot of years now...it is a love hate job. Lots of flexibility, hard works, hated being away from the family. I have learned how to love it and enjoy the adventure.
