Awesome

Swifty

You can take the girl out of Nashville, but you can’t take the stage-side-at-the-Taylor-Swift-show-and-THIS-IS-SO-AWESOME out of the girl. Jenn and I had tickets for the uppermost balcony last night, literally behind the stage.  But my most excellent friend Kelli (SHOUT OUT) back in Nashville pulled some strings, and all of a sudden, a man was…

Grinning like a fool

Seth just texted me. “Annie!  Did you already know about the Disc Makers catalog and were just waiting to surprise me?” I stared at the phone.  What catalog?  Disc Makers?  Wait – am I in Disc Makers?  AM I IN DISC MAKERS???!? “On the COVER.” I am on the cover of… well, not quite a…

Nephew report

Brought to you by my brother’s Twitter stream, since we haven’t talked on the phone in ages (probably because his 30th birthday was February 22 and I STILL haven’t sent him a gift, because I am a terrible sister, and if he wants to disown me, he has due cause, even though JEREMY I PROMISE…

Awwww, yeah!  How’s about that – Troubled Annie, for the wind! Listen to some of their new stuff here.  “Be Mine” is so catchy, it’s practically SARS.

It’s the little things

I’ve mentioned Zach before – my crazy friend who recently moved from Seattle to Nashville, who lived on the JAM House floor for awhile, who now has his own place in East Nashville but we still like to see him, etc.  Zach is one of a kind – like a snowflake.  Or a fingerprint.  Or…

A dislike followed by a like

I know that I have mentioned that I despise the winky face.  And it’s true – the winky face makes me barf.  End of story.  Forever. But there is another thing that has been weighing on my mind, and that is the smiley emoticon. :) See?  Ugh. Now, I use the smiley in email communication…

I offer no explanation

I’m not feeling many words these days.  Obviously. But I will say GOOD LUCK to my friends Joey and Stephanie who are both taking the bar exam starting today.  Rock it like it’s your job until it IS your job.
