The Ongoing Revelations of Kathryn Rose
Note from KR:
I am obviously too busy to Blog right now, between my concert schedule and two young kids (age 4 and 1), but please follow me at my Facebook fanpage and Twitter. I update those often! When I can, I will Blog again because I love to write. All past entries are still up for those who haven't been here before.
-KR, April 27/10.
Blog Description:
What began as a personal make-work project while on Sarah McLachlan's 2004 Afterglow World Tour soon evolved into a popular online diary. People have enjoyed Kathryn's prose writing so much they've told her she should write a book, and maybe she will!
Feel free to read this Blog from the beginning:

Side Effects Of Breastfeeding
July 14th, 2009Whilst dining in the Hooters adjacent to my Columbia, Missouri hotel off the Interstate before rehearsal with the Missouri Symphony last Thursday evening, our fair waitress had trouble pronouncing the word "draught", as in beer, but was able to spell it. And then, "don't make fun of me", said she, as a quick aside. Our party, including myself, did snicker involuntarily at the draughty misstep, but soon felt ashamed. And yet, I am blogging the event. It was funny.
So too was the Hooters sign outside with certain neon letters burnt out. See below.
My father had an expression for pretty blonde girls with big boobs when I was growing up. Whenever one would walk in front of our car at an intersection, he would shake his head and say, "poor deformed creature". As a result, I grew up thinking there was something wrong with pretty blonde girls with big boobs. I suppose I still do.
This was my first trip away from home without the baby for more than one night so far. I was gone for 3 days this time. Ivor is 4 months old now. I pumped in every airport bathroom, and we had a lot of layovers... Toronto-Cleveland, Cleveland-Memphis, Memphis-Columbia... and back... 83 oz by the end of trip... sad to Pump and Dump but what can you do... couldn't have kept it cold anyway, and apparently any breastmilk I brought back to Canada even if I was able to, would have been considered American even though it came from me and I am not. They don't allow you to bring it back for a child that isn't present either. Ah well. At least I didn't have to demonstrate the pump at Customs.
It's 2AM and my children are sleeping like angels. And what am I doing? Blogging. This is my first chance to Blog! (My daughter says those exact words except with the word "glug" in place of "Blog". "Glug" in the sense of loud drinking noises, which we banned and then allowed at the table, but only when very thirsty.) I am having a lot of trouble blogging these days. Just can't find the time at the computer. I am not giving up, but tonight I may have found a possible solution: Twitter.
I just joined. I think that the short, quick nature of that form of communication might be just the ticket at least until I regain the use of both of my hands (a side effect of breastfeeding). And just imagine when I have something other than my laptop with which to Tweet. The fact that I feel I'm at the point where I need portable capabilities must mean it's true. The robots will rule.
So, follow me, won't you, at: twitter.com/krland
But don't give up on my Blog. I won't if you won't.
And check out my Facebook fanpage where you see that an industrious fan named Stephen has posted a video of me singing and acting in the TV show Ready Or Not. I have now challenged him to find my Max Headroom Coke commercial from the late '80s. That challenge is open to the general public! Kathryn Rose Facebook Fanpage
This is crazy. I'm going to bed.

I am on Facebook, but trying to stay away from Twitter. Any chance we could get you to update your FB status along with a Tweet? You could still keep it to 140 short and sweet characters! LOVE the hair by the way...- Megan F (July 15th, 2009)
Kathryn, it's your brother. There were a zillion Max Headroom Coke commercials back then so I bet it'll be somewhat difficult for the general public to identify the correct ad. I've got it on VHS tho' :) Was a huge Max Headroom fan back then so was the coolest thing ever that my sister was in one of them. Then you worked with Matt Frewer years later, funny because you never actually met when the commercial was made. Ok, back into my hyperbaric chamber.
