Music saves my life every day.

About Me

I truly have loved music since I was a baby. I can't imagine life without it. I love cats, too. I've had at least one cat at all times since I was 15 years old. I live with my husband, 3 cats, a German Shepherd mix dog and three growing boys.
You Are 60% Boyish and 40% Girlish
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be. How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

On the road again...me and my friends

Well, it's that time again. I'm gonna hit the road to Alabama on Friday to see Soul Asylum. Although it will be the 4th time I'll see them this tour, it will be just as good as the others, I'm sure. O...

It's about time to promote Atlanta shows or move

It's official, there are 5 bands I love that are not coming to the ATL in 2007. That sucks for me, and although I can drive to a couple of shows, most are not coming south of Washington DC. So I guess...

I miss Louisiana

I miss Louisiana and I'm not sure it will ever be the same as it was when Drew and I honeymooned in New Orleans 12 years ago. It was so beautiful and homey, mostly because you could stay at a hotel fo...

It's too hot already; summer plans

It's already been in the 80s long enough to kill the water pump in my van. That was unexpected, as water pumps usually go out in the summer, but since the temps are already summer temps, it's given ou...

Kaiser Chiefs Enjoyment, finally!

The Kaiser Chiefs shine in this wonderful DVD. I love the live parts and  the interviews. Nick is very much a character. The tour of Britain and Glasgow are interesting too.  ...
