Is she really back?

So today i was looking at some friend's blogs and I thought, "geez, they are so good, writing everyday". I have these bursts of blogging and then long, creaky silences, then burst again.  the last time I thought about blogging, I got overwhelmed by all the shit I could write about. I'd just gotten back from Australia,had been on tour quite a bit in the beginning of the year. (So much to have blogged about Texas, holy crap).

I got to watch the Beastie Boys from backstage at the Langerado Festival in Florida. Damn, that was AWESOME! 

got the FRESHEST Hello Kitty purse in Athens GA. 

Tons of stuff to blog about, but then I just didn't. So today I thought, well, I'll just write whatever. so here it is.

whatever

Last friday i had the day off (sort of....i'm always trying to network and connect with folks and build my client base) but anyway, I'd gone and looked at a few places, as I thought it might be time to spread out the old wings and move my business out of the house and into a "place". Which is kind of funny, when I mention to my clients that I may move the business they get all bummed out. They like the house vibe and they like my space in it. Anyways, I was out friday and I went to some spots that I've driven by but hadn't been into. It was kind of fun to have the time to explore. I went to a bookstore called In Other Words. It's a women's book store. Which i think is weird to call it that. Most of the books were for or about women and women's issues, but I always feel like that narrows your market. The space was really cool. They had couches that you could hang out on. And a kind of open space in the back for classes and whatnot. They had a bunch of activities and events that were posted up on the wall behind the woman who was checking me out. (my books and cards, not me...geez, dirty mind much) so I'm looking up there and they have Homorobics which is an exercise class they hold on Sunday. I asked the gal, do I have to be a homo to come to class. She said no. But still, very limiting and narrowing. I'm gonna take the class at some point. They also have a free writing workshop on the 3rd wednesday of the month. So I'm going to check that out too. It's in the neighborhood, I can ride my bike and I could start writing again. 

I also went to a great coffee shop called Javarama. It seemed like the coffeehouse for the Jetsons. It was next door to a place i was checking out. Good mocha's and attached to a fun looking hair salon. 

After the Java place, I bought a 3 dollar ironing board. (Score of the day!) and treated myself to Russel Street BBQ. After a couple of beers and meat, I headed home and watched a couple of episodes of Weeds in my backyard. I sat in an Adirondack chair in the middle of the grass, gazing at my flowers in the yard. 

My  backyard is fucking awesome. Totally private. Tons of flowers and established trees and plants. Lots of color. Thick green lawn. Very nice. I just need some lights out there so we can hangout back there at night. Sitting in the yard, at one point i wished my old man was home so he could be enjoying the sun we finally got and the yard and 

our house. But alas, he's gotta make the donuts. With the new record out, they are going to be touring hard for awhile.

(oh yeah, shameless plug for my husband and the band. after you've finished reading my blog, go buy the new G. Love and Special Sauce record "Superhero Brother" it's a really fun summer soundtrack.....with some pretty sweet bass licks from my old man) You can pick it up on Itunes or at Amazon.com or your local record store while there are still record stores to shop in.

Today is the second day of my birthday month and I gotta tell you I'm fucking jazzed this time. Last month I could feel it bubbling up, the birthday month excitement and I was glad to feel it again. Last year we bought a house a month before my birthday and then I was out of town on the east coast preparing for my mom's 70th birthday. so for me, it was a little anti-climatic. but this year, I'm rocking out for real! I think I might throw a garden party and invite friends to enjoy the yard and me in it. WOO HOO JULY!
