Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • Friday night my friend Christina took me to see Sugarland in concert!  Sugarland is one of my very favorite groups so I was really excited!   I normally carry the 5th Avenue Thirty- One purse but for the concert I wanted something I could hold closer to my body.  I am married to Captain Safety…

  • Amazon is giving away a dozen or so songs for free.  It’s a Valentine’s Day playlist.  Click here for the freebie tunes!   Lately I’ve been listening to Neon Trees, Tennis, Miranda Lambert, and Jessie James.  I love finding new music for free!  I discovered Tennis when their song Marathon was the free song of…

  • My new favorite band is Zach Fowler and the Essentials. My sister Momo introduced me to them when she was dating their bassist.  Normally I would have thought “Oh great, now she’s gonna make me listen to some sub par garage band.”  And actually that is what I thought.  Until I heard their new CD.…

  • Contrary to popular belief, there is WAY more to do in Vegas beyond gambling, boozing, hookers, & getting whacked by the mob. **Warning- lots of photos after the jump**

  • Twitter is partly to blame for my lack of blogging lately. But don’t be mad at Twitter, good things happen there.  For instance, Hugh Jackman, yep, the real Hugh Jackman tweets.  And he started a contest on Twitter where he’d donate $100,000 to a tweeter’s favorite charity.  You had to tweet him the charity &…

  • On Black Friday I received a text from Jon’s Aunt (love all our texting relatives!) inviting me to dinner that night with the rest of the gang from Thanksgiving (save Jeff, Tess and their girls as they had already left for Virginia). Well, Uncle Erv was Momo’s 4th grade teacher and they hadn’t seen each…

  • Thank you for all of your supportive comments and emails.  I heart y’all.  It is hard not to get into a funk when my father comes around.  I try to rise above the funk, but it doesn’t always work.  So, to try and keep positive I shall share with you a few things I’m loving…

  • *I’ve been really enjoying Sara Bareilles lately. Love her voice and her lyrics. *I’ve got a to do list a mile long as I prepare to take a road trip up to Baltimore to visit Lisa next week! I’m really excited to see her, Laura, Petah, the whole gang. *I’m doing a lot of jewelry…

  • I made the mistake of listening to a country music station while driving yesterday.  This resulted in full on sobbing while operating a motor vehicle.  But I was inspired by the Country Music Awards last week.  I only saw a few minutes of it, but those were a nice few minutes filled with Josh Turner…

  • First it was the new iPod Nano commercial. Couldn’t stop singing it, but I didn’t know what I was singing. So I Googled it and then spent my 99 cents at iTunes. Now I really can’t stop singing it. And the video? One long shot. Amazing. Best one I’ve seen since OK Go’s “Here It…
