Music is Good for the Soul

Hey y'all! As many of you know I'm a HUGE music junky. I listen to it all and see it all. I've seen everyone from Garth Brooks to Britney Spears to Widespread Panic. It all fascinates me, even if it's not my favorite kind. I used to have the time to go see lots of live music in college which was so wonderful. I was lucky enough to go to school in a town that was rich with good tunes, and some of my favorite times in college come from music shows. These next couple of months are going to be awesome because I've got lots of shows lined up and I'm super excited. On Feb 27th I'll be taking it down to Macon to the historic Cox Capital Theatre to see some of my favorite boys do a reunion show! Moonshine Still is playing a benifit concert for a dear friend of theirs who is battling lymphoma. Some of them are in different bands now so they will all be opening and rotating about, topping off with MsS at the end of the night.

March 9th you can find me living one of my dreams as Ernie and I catch Eric Clapton for the first time. I'm so excited to see this show. He's such a genius and Roger Daltrey of The Who will be accompanying him. This is gonna be GOOD.

Then skip to just a few days later and I'll be checking out one of my new found loves, Michael Buble. My BFF is taking me and this has earned her many points! He does all the best old jazz standards, some good originals, and his voice is like buttah!

Up in the air is The March 31st trip to the Fox for "Experience Hendrix". The line up will include some of rocks finest guitar heros, including one of my faves, Robert Randolf. If you don't know who Robert Randolf is you are doing yourself a serious injustice. The man can play slide guitar with his hands tied behind his back. Go see him if you want a good work-out because you will be "shakin' ya hips" the whole time. Regular live music is something I've seriously been missing over the last two years so I'm really pumped to get to do all of this. Do you guys have any upcoming concerts (I call them "shows") that you're attending? Here's my wish list for life:

Van Morrison
Led Zeppelin (yeah right)
James Taylor
Stevie Nix
Pearl Jam
Madonna (really Madonna 10 years ago)
Outkast
311
Diana Krall
Allison Krauss
Elton John
Beyonce

Just to name a few I haven't gotten around to yet :)

Weekend Wrap Up!

Can I puh-leeze have a vacatoin?! I mean really, the last real vacation I took was in June. Kill me now. And I haven't had a real day off in two weeks and that's not changing any time soon. I'm waiting for the narcolepsy to kick in and me fall asleep in the middle of foiling someone's hair.

Ernie & I went and registered today, it was really fun but good Lord!! Very overwhelming, took forever, and when we printed our list itwas about 10 things. That's not gonna cut it! Tomorrow I have a date with the tredmill, networking meeting with a lady who sells Arbonne (my fave) and a big dinner to attend. All of this has, and will be, fun but I know I'm going to be so tiiiirrreed.

I started planning my girls weekend for my bachelorette party and as much time as I need to get everything done, this weekend can't get here soon enough. We're hitting up lake lanier for a few glorious days to eat rediculous ammounts of salsa, make yummy food and drinks, and listen to plenty of 80's music. I can't wait to just relax with my girls and maybe do some regretable dancing.

So....
Dear weekends, please get easier. I love being a productive person and I'm fine with 6 days a week sometimes. 7 days for 4 weeks straight however, may be killing me. And please let my body sleep past 9 am. I am NOT a morning person and that is final. Do not expect me to change that until I have babies that make me. K, thanks.

Have a lovely week everyone!
