New look

Don't be alarmed. This is still the same hardly-ever-updated blog you know and love. I just changed things up a little. I'm experimenting with a new look. I got tired of what I had before. It didn't really reflect "me" anymore. I still might make more changes. But for right now, I kind of like this.

I am super sorry that I haven't been here very much in the last 2 years. It makes me really sad. So many things have happened (some really big things) that now I don't even know how to write about them all. And now it's holiday time again (didn't we just do this?) so that will delay things even more. Ugh.

I feel like I just posted my End of 2014/Happy 2015 post, and here another year has come and gone. So depressing. Where did it go? I'm still working on the changes I wanted to make in my life that I talked about in that end of the year post. I'm starting to feel like they might actually happen this time.

I'm already starting to think about New Year's Resolutions for 2016. One of them will definitely be Blog More. I really do enjoy this. I just don't always feel like doing it, but when I do, it's really fun. I need to keep reminding myself of that.

Happy beyond words

I'm a very happy girl right now. Thanks to the marvels of modern technology, I was able to listen to the Whitewaits show in San Francisco tonight. I was so bummed that we couldn't go, but tonight as I was laying on the bed in our hotel room poking around Facebook, I came across a post that mentioned that the club he was at streamed all of their shows!!! So after what seemed like forever waiting for it to buffer, I was able to listen to Rob! He was amazing! Is he ever not amazing? Nooo!!! This was sheer perfection. It's too bad that the club didn't stream video too. I would have liked to see how he was able to pull all of that off all by himself. Like I said:  Amazing!

Since I had to wait for all that buffering, I'm not totally sure if I heard everything, but when it started playing he was singing Always. Then he did Lost Boys, The Way Back, Blackbird Spies, Stare, Happy? (C&E), Hope is the Hardest, Bring on the Dancing Horses, and Island. I think those are in the right order. Whatever order they were in, they all sounded great! He played for about 45 minutes (that I heard anyway.) I hope he can do more shows, like maybe closer to where I am, and not on dates where we have other things going on that prevent us from seeing him. :)

I'm off to scour YouTube for videos of the show.

Whitewaits show

If either of you happen to be in or near San Francisco, my good friend Rob Rowe will be performing there next weekend as Whitewaits! The show is Friday June 12th at 8:30pm at the DNA Lounge. Tickets and more info here:

Please go if you can! Unfortunately, I can't. :( I've been wanting to fly somewhere again ever since I discovered I really like flying, and that would be the perfect place to go, and I need what is turning out to be my once-a-year Rob fix, but Husband and I have this family thing we have to go to that weekend, so I won't be there. Super sad about that. :(

So click on that link up there, buy some tickets, get yourselves there, and have a great time! Say hi to Rob for me. Try to record the show and post it somewhere so I can watch it. Take lots of pics and post them on Facebook. Hopefully he'll be able to do more shows and I can go to one, or ideally, all of them! :)

Until next time...

Time keeps on slipping...

I'm still here. I've been so busy lately that I can't hardly keep track of what day it is. The days are going by scary fast. It's already May. I might as well get the Christmas tree out and put it up. By the time I do that it will be November. It scares me how fast time is flying by. So much to do. So much to blog about. So little time to do any of it. I pretty much owe you guys an account of the past year. That's how far behind I am in blogging. Ugh! Just thinking about it gives me panicky feelings! But for now, at least, I just wanted to let my vast audience (both of you) know that I'm still around.

Hopefully soon...
