Road Trip...

my new three favorite things....

Chapel Dulcinea






Hamilton Pool




Salt Lick BBQ




*sigh*

so at the end of it all... i said to my boy... 'Jake... good day or bad day?'

'Well mama... Thriving Ivory and Secondhand Serenade are now my bestfriends... it was the best day ever!'

we went on a roadtrip to Maxwell, TX to see the two mentioned bands... they signed pretty much anything my kids asked them too... including my sons bicep which he promptly asked if we could tatoo... yeah you'll thank me in about five years when i remind you that you wanted to do such a thing...

Deidre is TOO much fun to roadtrip with...

If you are in the area... SERIOUSLY... see the above three places... Salt Lick is not really an 'unknown' to those familiar with Texas cuisine... but i don't know how well known the other two are... but they are WELL worth a look...

stolen from my HayJay

I AM … refreshed.
I WANT… to go back to Austin.
I HAVE… to go on vacation soon.
I KEEP… the paper wristbands from shows.
I WISH I COULD… write songs.
I HATE… that word...
I FEAR… my children being in pain.
I HEAR… that little voice in my head telling me to go slow.
I DON’T THINK… clearly before 10am.
I REGRET… nothing.
I LOVE… music.
I AM NOT… ready for cold weather.
I DANCE… only when drunk.
I SING… all the time.
I NEVER… say never.
I RARELY… take a day off.
I CRY WHEN I WATCH… The Notebook or Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
I AM NOT ALWAYS… at peace.
I HATE THAT… I can't seem to be stronger.
I’M CONFUSED ABOUT… a hundred different things.
I NEED… relax... take one thing at a time... then I'll get it right.
I SHOULD… stop shoulding on myself...
