We are hilarious 30 somethings who have been best friends since the 7th grade and enjoy a cocktail or two. We find the funny in almost everything and making fun of things comes quite easy to us. A bit about us: Karon: My family consists of my husband, and our one daughter. I am "one and done" when it comes to kids. If I had more, my cocktail or two would turn into a bottle or two. I'm a hygienist and I like to practice my comedy on my patients. I hate Mondays. I tend to have an old soul. I like to spend my days in the garden when it's not raining or twenty degrees below zero. In addition to drinking and gardening I tend to get the trots easily. That's right, I said the trots. As in a wicked case of diarrhea when I go to the Minnesota State Fair. Susie: I have a husband and a set of identical twins. I'm always needing to do toddler laundry and having two of everything. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! I'm an ex-hairdresser who now works at an insurance company. I do get to work from home though so... I probably should have a better handle on that toddler laundry issue. I'm into metal music and have a guitar. I use to know how to play, but now it serves more as a prop. I like to get as close as I can possibly to the stage at live rock shows. I survived Marilyn Manson and Metallica, so yeah, I'm a bad ass. In the end, I'm a lover of good times with family and friends and have always been a seeker of fun and humor. Oh! and cats! I freaking love cats!
