"Careful what you wish for, you just might get it." I have been so backed up with work, WWD work, practicing, music, school work, Corn Allergen emails, brushing the dog's teeth, filing papers from 2008, and putting my music room ... http://www.jennyconnors.com/music/careful-what-you-wish-for Well, I saw Kerri in December (photos are here), and had a wonderful time in London! I wish it could have been a longer visit, but she was busy with school, and I had shows and concerts right up to the day before I left.  Here's the vlog: Christmas was weird ... http://www.jennyconnors.com/family/kerri-in-london Facebook has recommended that I add Kerri as a friend.

As usual with Kerri, if it's going to happen to 2% of the population, it's going to happen to her.  We were able to get that exact number when she was a child and got lice (it ripped through the school that year). No matter ... http://www.jennyconnors.com/family/always-an-adventure-with-kerri We had the great pleasure of dog-sitting for the dog-sitter.  Katie occasionally dog-sits a cute little pug named Lola for her friend.
