Summer love
Summer always looms before you with such great appeal. All year long, I wait for the summer months to arrive bringing much needed rest and relaxation. Alas, summer always turns out to be the most hectic time of my year. I get it in my head that I’ll have more time to do all these things I want to do… and as June unfolds, I do have extra time but I’m quick to overfill it, wanting to be a part of everything I possibly can. Soon, I’m busier than ever - but a different kind of busy, because I truly feel passionate about all the commitments I’m making. It’s not such a bad thing to be busy, I love my life and everything that is coming my way.
July has been insane. Working two jobs, getting to play with Churchill, getting to play at NH, helping plan a wedding, showers, bachelorette party, preparing for a road trip, planning for moving out, recording - I’ve been busy!
Last weekend Churchill played the UMS at the Hi Dive and it was a blast. We’ve been playing nearly every weekend (sometimes twice a week) for two months now and I’m having the time of my life. Making music with good friends, it’s the best. We’ve been recording like crazy and have almost completed our 5 song EP which should be out in… September(ish).
My sister’s wedding is SATURDAY. Yes. This Saturday! It blows my mind. I’m so happy for her and the hubby; I can’t wait to see all this crazy wedding preparation come together.
And! the day after the wedding, Dubs and I are hittin’ the road. This will be my second road trip through the Midwest in 2009 and I’m jazzed. Our final destination is Michigan but we’re also spending sometime in Chicago. A week free from the madness. Just tunes and the open road.
I love love love the Summer.
sushi, yum.
Thanks d… totally helpful.
Dieting against my will.
Sitting, rehearsing with Churchill, waiting for pizza… my tongue HURTS. Last Thursday I was eating salad at a wedding for my friends and I bit my tongue so freaking hard. I’ve never experienced more pain in my my mouth, in my life. The very back left area of my tongue is still swollen (6 days later!!!). I can’t eat more than a few bites at a time because it is too painful and I just want to eat! It’s depressing… Stupid puffy tongue.
So my mouth aches… but last night I saw HP6 (best one yet), I’m enjoying spending time with friends tonight, I have 3 shows this month and am playing at NHCC the next 2 weekends, Robbin’s wedding is just a few weeks away and at the end of the month I’m hitting the road for a much needed vacation. July rules!
Sinister in a state of hope
Being at Starbucks should be so much better than this… crying babies and obnoxious giggling kids have spoiled the taste of my iced vanilla latte and killed the environment I was so enjoying until twenty minutes ago. I am now forced to jam my borrowed headphones back in - I took them out an hour ago because they make my ears sore. An ear ache is of the milder pains I’d endure to escape my current aggravation.
I now have music ringing in my ears (Loney, Dear) and my mood is quickly improving. MUCH better.
Simply delicious.
Welcome, one and all, to my new blogging home. Brace yourself for my triumphant return to the world of weblogs. I know I’ve been missed.
