KinConnors Strikes Again!
THANK YOU KIM!
I have the BEST friends in the world. I say it all the time. You should feel that way about yours too. You should be writing volumes on how cool they are. Now, that we have that established, I want to blog-brag about mine. And like I said; Mine are the coolest. Title claimed.
But in ANY case, my BFF and person Kim wins the:
COOLEST FRIEND I HAVE AWARD!
Seriously. She is amazing. I don’t know anyone on Earth with as much knowledge of today’s news, trends and noteworthy people of influence. You know the librarian who is professional, and tenacious, but after tossing her hair, and removing the glasses, she turns into a pussycat doll? Yeah. That's my BFF.
She has won 4 Emmy’s! Yes. She is my Best Friend and I don’t mind tooting her horn a bit. Ever. Here is a picture of my daughter holding Kim's Emmy. I am proud that both of these women are in my life! I hope some of Kim rubs off on Emma through Emmy Osmosis.
This New Years Eve, I had the honor of spending it with my husband, my BFF, her hubby and some great friends! I got the benefits of Kj's hard work and dedicated efforts. She is so cool! cool. Cool. COOL!
KUDOS to the super cool passes that Kim produced from ABC studios, we got to breeze by the cattle call of million partier corral. Can you imagine having such a moment of self-ego indulgement? It was like the masses parted and only the “cool kids” were invited to the party.
I always feel like the coolest kid when I am with her. She always makes me laugh, and feel good about myself. We have had a miniature girl crush on each other for almost 2 decades. And by miniature I mean HUGE. We have a lot of fun memories as girls and women. <3 style="text-align: center;">
We got access to the restricted streets, had a highly coveted cool neck pass, and were the envy of everyone around us. It was cooler than celebrating the Y2K New Years Eve I spent in London, England. Instead, I spent the night making friends with a girl who was living her life's dream of coming to NYC for NYE! Moment captured, and I played a role. International memory # 1,284 and it happened in NYC!
NYE 2010? I was not scared. I was excited! I was gonna spend NYE in Times Square with my BFF! This was a dream come true hand delivered in a Kj box of sweets. I enjoyed every minute I got to share with her and be proud of her. This was all possible because of the hard work, hours and dedication she put in over the years. Again, PROUD! Did I mention that she is beautiful and looks like a Guess? jeans model, cover of a romance novel, and breaker of hearts? She does. She was. She even graduated early with a double major. Perfect. Someday when she is famous I an gonna be out finding her dugout bagels and crispy eggs and bacon between public appearances. That's what BFF's do for their uber famous friends.
A cool fact we learned that night? Military in uniform are allowed to walk around the streets at will. How cool is that? Good job NYCPD! I am actually serious when I say that. That was a cool touch. Way to let our military lead by example. I saw dozens of military heros walking around in uniform with their families and friends and enjoying a moment that was well deserved.
The men and women were openly touched by the gesture. So was I. At exactly at midnight, with the tickertape falling, I took a mental picture and filed it "Moment I was most like the girl kissed by the sailor".
Best part of all this? These were services that Kim offered because she is a smart, observant and caring friend. I never asked. She wanted to help create moments for my family and I. To be honest, they were not things I would have thought were possible. Kim gave me one moment in time.... when I was all that I thought I could be......
P.S. - Did I mention I saw the actual BALL fall IN Times Square and my cool friend Kim got me there? There as in drooling distance to J.Lo, Ryan Seacrest, and the cast of The Jersey Shore. Exactly at midnight in the center of the world with the centers of my popular, cool-kids world. Heaven running through my estrogen nerve endings. Pure Female Bliss.
Most of the world believes the number one problem in the US is apathy. Most people feel more like; who cares? Kim does. I love her for it. love. Love. LOVE! - Men, step-off. This is the point when you go all crazy eyed and have a KinConnor fantasy. Not gonna happen. Think Courtney Cox and Jennifer Anniston. Not the gross way you make it sound in your sick, twisted heads. You have a better chance of seeing the Jen /Courtney or Oprah and Gayle thing happen.
Kim is my hero. She is an incredibly hard worker, and she amazes me every time I talk to her. Just being her friend makes me constantly reevaluate my life and strive to be better.
Living close to her again ranks very high on my “I LOVE being a LIBERTY BELL AGAIN!” list. My kids think Kim Connors is famous. ( Yeah, she’s married and has a new last name, but leave it to Kincade’s offspring to call her Connors. You have NO IDEA how priceless that is!)
I am proud of Kim and want to send a public Thank You your way. Kim, I am blessed to have you in my life and as my friend. You have inspired me to be a better me in 2010. My resolution is to accept challenges and make things happen. Don't take no for an answer and don't let anything get in my way. Kim inspired that in me. I am sure she has inspired greatness out of everyone who meets her. The next time you watch World News Tonight, think of my hard-working friend Kim! "KinConnors" - 4 EVA!
