A Glimpse Into My Life....: March 2007

A Glimpse Into My Life....

Blogging is a great way to keep people informed about what's going on in your life. It’s a central place that you can share information with several people at once instead of composing multiple emails or making numerous phone calls. That’s why I’ve entitled my blog “A Glimpse Into My Life…”. Those of you who have been invited to read my blog, please know that I want you to be a part of my life. Hopefully, this blog will enable me to stay in closer contact with the people that I love.

About Me

Name: Charissa

Location: Carl Junction, Missouri

I was born and raised in Chile, South America. My parents moved back to Joplin, MO my senior year of high school. I've lived in the Joplin area my entire adult life so Joplin is beginning to feel more like home, but it's really not home! I married my husband, Steve, in August of 1998. We haven't had any children, but we do have a cat named Chunk that we treat as if he were our child.

Elliott Yamin's CD is out tomorrow!

Elliott Yamin's long awaited CD is being released tomorrow and I will be one of the first to buy it. If you aren't familiar with him, please link over to his page for samples of a couple of his songs. Amazon.com has clips of all the songs on the CD. He is an extremely talented young man and I hope to see him succeed in the music business. You still have my vote, Elliott!

My Predictions for American Idol Season 6

We are doing a fundraiser for the United Way at work and you submit an entry form predicting who will be sent home each week of the competition along with a $5.00 entry fee. Each week points will be awarded to the people who correctly select the American Idol Contestant who was voted off. The points value will increase each week. After the winner of American Idol has been announced, the points accumulated during each round of the contest will be totaled and the entry with the most points is the winner. The winner receives half the pot and the other half goes to the United Way. Here is what I have predicted. Please note that this isn’t what I would like to see happen, but instead what I think will happen. Let the competition begin!
