Takin' this crew to Tampa on New Years for the Outback Bowl ... Sure is good to have friends like this and be an Auburn Tiger!

Catching Up with Some Boys from Georgia!

This weekend, it's on! I have been waiting on this for a very long time. Widspread Panic and The Allman Brothers ... ah, makes sense to me.

Pat Dye's 2009 Ranch Party

As a huge Auburn fan, this was one of the highlights of my life. From Amy screaming, "$2,000" for an autographed magazine cover to us dancing the salsa, this was an AUsome night!

Pick Me Up and Turn Me Round

I was thinking. Sometimes, when you’re in a funk, which songs will automatically lift your spirits? Here are a few of mine. No matter how I’m feeling when I hear these, they always make me feel better!

· This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody) by Talking Heads
· Airplane by Widespread Panic
· This Sky by Derek Trucks Band
· Lively Up Yourself by Bob Marley
· Lie in Our Graves by DMB
· Satisfied by Van Morrison
· My Sisters and Brothers by Jerry Garcia Band
· Late in the Evening by Paul Simon

Welcome back, College Football! I sure have missed you.

AquaPalooza 2009 on Lake Martin

I can see us floating in the water!

Just Sayin'

"Barstools and Dreamers" is such a fantastic song.

That's all for now.

Oh, yeah, I'm going to see Gov't Mule tonight. :)

Gotta Get that Boom Boom Pow! PCB 2009!

So, So In Love!

Holy crap! I am so in love with DMB’s new album. I may sound like a 15 year old girl, but I don’t care. My favorites are “Why I Am” and “Shake Me Like a Monkey.” Got to love a guy that’s infatuated with monkeys!

Plus, Dave is so stinkin’ sexy to me! Geeez Lou Weeeezz! (Now, I KNOW I sound like I’m 15!)

I’m telling you, good people … Buy this album!

Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King

I’m so ready for June 2 to get here! Dave Matthews Band’s new album comes out that day. Word is, it’s supposed to be goooood. And, I like what I’ve heard so far.

I just checked out some of the supporting acts on tour with them this year … deeyam! … I would love to catch some of those shows.

I have fallen back in love with Dave like it was 1994!

Also, check out the "Warehouse" on the Central Park CD. Melts my heart when Roi plays. Rest his soul. (Bags packed on a plane ... hopefully to heaven.)

Dave Matthews Band Concert

I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well. I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been.
"Lie In Our Graves" by DMB

Widespread Panic

Oh, so goooood!

"How high can you go?"

Just some lucky people!

The dude to my right really knew his Panic. He called a "Smoking Factory!" But, I called "Let's Get Down to Business." :)

A Thousand Smiles, She Gives to Me Free ...

Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix

They Are Back!

Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish!

If the Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be at one of the upcoming shows.

Thank You ... Falettin Me Be Mice Elf Again

Dance to the music ... all night long. Everday people ... sing their simple song.

She is so cool.

We were on our way to work/school the other day, and I heard her in the back singing some Sly and the Family Stone. “Thank you for letting me be myself again. Thank you for letting me be myself again.”

Man, I love her!

Shake Up Your Bones; Shake Up Your Feet

So, I check my email today ...

I get emails updating me on different bands and where they are touring and et cetera.

So, I see where Dave Matthews Band (roll your eyes if you must) has announced some new tour dates and bands that are touring with them. (By the way, I'm so sick of people hating on Dave. Saying that Dave sucks is so played out and not cool anymore. Go take a bath, dirty hippies:) )

My thoughts as I read the bands: Hmmm. Those are some darn good bands. I would love to see that one particular group. Oh, that group will probably play with DMB somewhere up north, and I’ll never get to see them.

So, I scroll down to check the dates … Old Crow Medicine Show is playing with them at Oak Mountain!!! I could scream! I love that band. And, the best part is that I’ve already got my tickets to that show.

I feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world right now!

And, In My Mind I Was A Child ... And, It Felt Good.

Ain't Life Grand?!

Just love, love, love, love, love, love!

A Few Good Cats To Help Me Pass The Day

Havin' a good time, here today. Watching the sun shine, matinee. Never the wrong time, time we stay. Living the moontime, time we play.

This picture cracks me up!

I Listen to the Wind ... To the Wind of my Soul

My Child

Yesterday, I arrived at “after-school” to pick up my child. As she was running to me, she just started crying. (This child of mine is no spoiled brat. Actually, she is one of the most pleasant people to be around.) So, I asked her what was wrong. She explained that some 1st grader had snatched her toy and ran off with it. Basically, he just stole it from her.

Oh, hell, nah!

I told her to find that boy. We basically went up to every little snotty-nosed brat on that playground to see if he was the one. Apparently, he had already gone by the time I had gotten there. So, cut to today, Mommy’s leaving work early!!

Mofro ...

To put it simply, I love them. To say that their new album, "Orange Blossoms," is great would be an understatement. Every song on the album is amazing. JJ Grey is an extraordinary lyricist, and he is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite songwriters.

Oh! And, that voice! Wow, that voice ... Lets just say the good Lord gave that boy some talent. (Also, got to love a guy that digs being from the south!)

Mofro, a band infused of soul, blues, funk, rock, and downright nastiness, in the best of ways, is something worth checking out. I'm all about spreading the music. Let me know ... I will make you a copy of their new CD.

My lack of fervent adjectives does not do this band justice. I can't wait to see them in Asheville, North Carolina, in March.

Yay for music and this band!

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep ...

Avery's prayer last night ...
Dear God,
Thank you for Emery. Thank you for Haley. Thank you for Holden. And, thank you, God, for letting people have babies. Amen.

She's a Beautiful Child of God

The angels all smile on this beautiful child.
