The Hold Steady @ the Hi Tone
Sunday night my husband and I went to see The Hold Steady at the Hi Tone in Memphis with some friends. The Hold Steady is one of our favorite bands and one of the best bands I have ever seen live. They were so awesome that I ignored how insanely hot it was in the Hi Tone. The keyboard player gave me his set list which only made my night better. Craig Finn, Steve...
Mixed Tape from Ben
When Ben (my husband) and I first started hanging out he tried to win my heart by giving me two cds. He gave me his band's (Young Agent Jones) recent cd and a mixed cd. It worked. Also this cd introduced me to The Shins, which is now one of my favorite bands. I'm sure my best friend Nikki got so sick of hearing these cds during our 30 minute commute to and from the W (Mississippi University for Women). My First Mixed Cd from...
Jenny and Johnny
Jenny Lewis and her boyfriend have started a band and I couldn't be more excited. I just told Ben that I would love to see them in Athens, Georgia on 9/24/10 for our 1st Anniversary. Since the first wedding anniversary gift is traditionally paper, tickets would count! Maybe we could even visit Laura, Funmi, Roxie, and Cash oh my! Listen to their music here for free.
My Summer Essentials
With today being the first official day of summer, I felt inspired to share my summer essentials. 1. Jantzen Vamp Maillot One Piece in Red I bought this swimming suit for my bachelorette party and honeymoon. I love it. It is so classic and flattering. Its hard not to feel pretty in this swimming suit. 2. Bug Spray Mosquitoes love me. My mom says it is because I am so sweet. I usually use whatever bug spray I can find but I recently tried this insect repellent from Burt's Bees and...
Mixed Tape from Ben
My husband is wonderful and I have mentioned before that he makes mixed CDs (not actually mixed tapes) for me for holidays and random occasions. I love these CDs so much. Isn't a mixed CD such a thoughful gift? I decided to share this mixed CD because I think that you can tell a lot about a person by the music they enjoy. This is a list of songs from the CD he made for me for Christmas 2009. Christmas...

10 Things you may not know about Kris Kristofferson
Recently my husband and I saw Kris Kristofferson on Austin City Limits and it reminded me of how much I love that guy. Not only is he an amazing songwriter, he is an all around bad ass. "Sunday Morning Coming Down" is one of my top 5 favorite songs. 10 Things you may not know about Kris Kristofferson: 1. Kris has been in Sports Illustrated. In college (the fifties), he was quite the Rugby, Boxing and Track and Field star, which landed him a spot in Sports Illustrated "Faces in the Crowd." 2. Kris was a Rhodes Scholar. 3. Kris...

The happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.
When I was little my mother would wake me up every morning by singing the lyrics to the 1st verse of this song by Donna Fargo. Old country music stars make me happy. I wonder what my husband Ben would do if i woke him up by singing something like this... It would probably scare him, especially if I was wearing a dress like hers. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We are going camping at Dismal Canyons in Alabama this weekend. Lets hope I make it. Good morning' morning, hello sunshine Wake up sleepy head Why'd we move that bojangle...
