About two weeks ago I had written a piece (for myself in draft mode) about how much I love my parents. I really do. It came after my mom’s birthday and then spending time with them visiting my grandpa up in Temple, and I just really enjoy them as people separate from their parental status. […]
UPDATE from last week: So I wrote about how my reality is waking up in the morning and being even slightly functional. I decided I would sign up for my gym’s 12-week challenge, shed some poundage, and get motivation to get my butt out of bed to workout. I walked into the gym on Saturday, […]
I want a start a new piece called Reality Fridays. This is where I express things I’m thankful for, everyday human struggles and general words in hopes of getting an ‘Amen’ from you, the person reading this. My hope is that the crap and stuff I’m dealing with surly isn’t limited to just me. This […]
This past weekend was probably the most adult, married life three day weekend of my life. Why? Because we cleaned the apartment. Not just scrubbing, vacuum, wipe down cleaning, I mean, pouring out the entire closet and rebuilding, then reorganizing two desks filled with paper work, old bills, cards, pictures and all kinds of […]
We have arrived! The most exciting day in the Texas year — the day before September! To those who don’t understand, August is by far the worst month in Texas. Hot, sticky and the tail end of a usually hot, dry summer makes September a welcome change of pace. Instead of 105, it’s 93. Awesome. […]
Happy 70th Birthday, Sir Paul! MACCA! Mr. McCartney! My imaginary boyfriend! (What?!) Paul McCartney is 70 today, which is incredibly hard to believe. Especially considering I have only been alive a little less than a third of his life, 70 seems like quite a success. Six years ago, my family went to Paul McCartney’s 64th […]
I did it. Last night was the first I’ve pick up my bass in a long time and played songs I did not know at all. All those years of music theory paid off! For those who are unaware, former and current members of the Eggmen and fellow Beatles fans gather every Wednesday at Waterloo […]
While Will is away at the fire station, I always find things to fill my time and not get so down. With the wedding, it was tons of wedding things, now I’ve picked up my bass and/or my running shoes and either do an extra long workout or learn a new song. I did both […]
FYI — that is a Steely Dan reference, and I am unashamed. My birthday. I love birthdays. Seriously. I think they are the one day a year your requests are legitimized by the phrase, ‘It’s my birthday!’, including such scenarios as “I want to drink that whole bottle…”, “I’m wearing my Spanx and THAT dress…”, and the […]
Wow, what a whirlwind of excitement! The wedding rocked, and the honeymoon is in 2 more days. Holy bajesus. But don’t worry, my fellow music lovers, I haven’t fallen off the wagon with music — just with writing. Be prepared for show reviews (Experience Hendrix and Roger Waters), band and music-folk interviews (oh, these are […]
