Dakota


I have a friend! I called my brother for approval, and after spending an hour at the pet store with Nate, here she is!! Her name is Dakota. Ben named her and it means "friendship" which is perfect because that is the reason I got her!! She is such a little sweetheart and I love her already! If you don't approve, I don't care. I needed her! :P

I Need a Puppy


I am so lonely here in my apartment, all by myself while everyone has gone home for winter break. I need a friend or someone to cuddle with! The perfect solution...a puppy! I keep looking at pictures and thinking about how badly I want one. I know I can't have one now, but it makes me so sad! I think I'll go to the pet store tomorrow and see what kind of new friend I can come up with....

More on ABC 7



O yeah, I forgot to mention the part where the green room we waited in (where the anchor men and women get their hair and makeup done) used to be Oprah's green room! Her studio is now about 8 blocks down the street. But...on the back of the door and on the walls were signatures of tons of performers that have appeared on ABC 7, including Bill Cosby, Stone Cold Steve Austin, a number of musical artists, Barney...and now, "ISU Magrials 12/07, Molly Martin, Jillian Ganschow, Mike Brown, Jay Fischl, Dr. Karyl Carlson"!! It will be there for every person who now goes on the show to see... that's pretty awesome.

ABC 7 News


http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=resources&id=5832848

Today was the most amazing experience. Jay, Molly, Mike, and I left Bloomington at 6:30am this morning to travel to Chicago. Why, you may ask? To be featured singing on a segment of the ABC 7 Chicago 11:00am news!!! That's right. We met the anchors, and more importantly met/got our picture with Curtis Stone, The TAKE HOME CHEF (pictured on the left)!!! He is beyond gorgeous, Australian, and soooo nice! He loved us as much as we loved him. They played some clips of the PBS recording of the Madrigal dinner at the Chicago Cultural Center 2 years ago, had us sing a teaser, and then did this clip. Enjoy!! :)
