Karen's Story

Graduated early so I could move with my family to Woodstock, IL. Been here ever since. Started Disc Jockeying at 17 in local bars I wasn't old enough to get in to. Had myriad of weird jobs. Opened my own Entertainment/Event Company "Cruisin' Jukebox Ent." performing and Disc Jockeying at Festivals, Classic Car Nights, Weddings, Block Parties, Singles Dances/Speed Dating, Charitable Events, etc. Met my current husband for the first time at our county's Karaoke Idol Contest. I bombed, but ended up marrying the Judge. I took the big prize! We married only 7 weeks later. (Don't try this at home, kids!) Had a Radio show about Relationships entitled "Married Til Midnight" broadcast in McHenry County, Schaumburg and Fox Valley. Still have the Entertainment business, and a Home Staging business. Besides work, I facilitate a weekly Buddhist spiritual group and mentor 4-4th grade girls. Joe and I are in the process of starting an "Netborn" an Internet Consulting and Education business. We've got 3 dogs, have good friends, a LOT of fun (and are on the verge of being too busy for our own good.) TEACHERS I'd like to see: Mr. Benton- Fremd Earth Science Mrs. White, Plum Grove Elem. Math Mrs. Gabrielsen, 2nd Grade teacher at Plum Grove Mr. Rosycki, Principal & Mentor at Plum Grove FAVORITE QUOTES: "Our biggest challenges are the ones that set us free."

HOPE FRIENDS REMEMBER ME AS...someone they could always count on. In my youth- I loved everyone UNLESS you were MEAN. Then you pretty much sucked and so did your life,... eventually. KARMA does exist. Just ask "EARL"!!! LIFE'S B...Expand for more
IGGEST SURPRISE: Is that I DID'NT become a mother to a snag of kids living in Palatine, driving a station wagon, married to a Carpenter. I had it all worked out in my head ... If I had ONE THING TO DO OVER, I would have made sure that I had that snag of kids. . .
