I'm all over the place today.
Then I saw this post...and so this:

Jamie was grumpy, I was grumpy
Family trip next weekend so naturally last minute drama is starting up from the most expected source...
More tornado and egg sized hail warnings.
I don't get the obsession with the football draft? Rugby is a MILLION times better and no one cares.


Maybe its the pregnancy hormones in the air? - LOTS of people pregnant or carrying babies around lately it seems.

And so tonight we're gonna go find wine somewhere cause that's what jamie wants. Watch the Stars playoffs. Roughrider game tomorrow and then go to a crawfish boil Sunday to see the REBIRTH! If that won't set the mood right I don't know what will...

magic strings world stuck

read the Magic Strings of Frankie Presto and loved it. Definitely now a favorite .
I'd imagine even more meaningful for the musically talented.
One of those, after finishing the book you're still stuck in the world hours/days later....


Finished Sarah MacLean's The Rogue Not Taken - I like how she opens the eyes of her characters.

Alissa Johnson - Tempting Fate - a pretty good childhood to adults with the cliche drama added in.

Finished KMM's FeverBorn too and I'm finding it difficult to imagine how she can keep going like this. Just stop with the Mac line and move on with the rest already... I certainly do like Barron though....

again a nod to Beyonce's smart marketing strategy. It's really quite remarkable if you think about it.
Can't speak to the new music yet - couldn't really hear any in the :20 video I saw - (really it led back to baseball for me) all I thought is she needs to learn how to hold/swing a bat properly.
In more ways that one...
(*insert deep thoughts* ha) No doubt a powerful woman, I just hope it's cathartic for her, cause all that rage/energy is just adding to the frenzy that this year has already kicked up.  and it's steadily getting so exhausting...

#victoryrising and that's all I'm gonna say about that
cause I saw Dallas Housewives County - or whatever it's called, (peripherally, i was reading) -  and I realize it's television, I hope it's not real cause Dallas needs something much more worthy to represent itself than that. 

and back to music (since this is apparently a music-ish post) can't say I was the biggest merle haggard and/or prince fan, I just have a few songs here and there.... still - even more after reading "the magic strings"- the music appreciation is certainly there.
How amazing to have that talent and affect the world that way...

buying swimsuits thinking one of them is gonna work.

two weeks til the beach. I keep buying swimsuits thinking one of them is gonna work.
I just don't get it ....i feel like I look so much better than I actually look in pictures most of the time....



moving on (cause ugh just one of those days I guess) .... I'm half way through KMM's Feverborn - I'm not sure why there's such a lovefest for this book (and the series really)- though I think she writes characters well, the story line just plods along. I think if it were edited by 25% it would be more my kinda pace. We'll see I guess.
weeks plans - LaLa's bday dinner, Adam Hood?, again the race track....

It's a mike mcclure day. Not sure why this guy isn't even more well known? - especially with his Great Divide stuff...
ask about my problems, I won't tell you no lies
everyday I'm getting older and the more I compromise
I've got debt and doubt and worries piled up outside my door 
makes me wanna ride my old bicycle down to the grocery store
and buy me some baseball cards and stick 'em in my spokes  
and ride around the old gym and sneak a couple of smokes 
then cruise around the car wash, till the sun goes down                
that used to be enough to make my world go round
