My 2011 in Review- Music Edition
So, I’m finally getting a little bit of time to sit down and spend some time here, so I’m going to make the next couple of posts really for my own personal use. Feel free to completely disregard. :)

WatchColdplay Behind the Scenes at the NYE Austin City Limits Taping
This is the show I was dying to get into, and then somehow, miraculously, did. It was amazing and I can’t wait to watch it New Year’s Eve.

Finally home
I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. I’m still enjoying mine. The kids just opened Santa presents today and they’re playing like fiends in the living room. Hope you all had fun!

Listening to the radio with a 4 year old
Xander: What's this song called?
Me: Pumped Up Kicks
Xander: I don't like this song anymore. I liked it when I was 3, but I don't like it anymore.
Me: Right there with you, kid.

Remember that post last weekend about how I must be getting older since I ditched The National to stay home with my family? Well, now it’s official. Yesterday I won tickets to a local radio station’s anniversary party, where The Gourds, Givers, Mat Kearney, and Dawes will be playing. I’d been hoping to get in and I love all those bands, so I was excited about it. Then, today, I...

Coldplay - Charlie Brown (Live)
Watch this video, and your life will improve.
Loving this video. And though I do love the studio version of the song, I think something is lost in translation from studio to live. Hearing this live at ACL was incredible.
btw, Coldplay, why U no send me my digital tour pack?? I’ve submitted my email at least 4 times and I’ve...

last week I had a test done on a “nodule” on my thyroid gland. The doctor called with my test result earlier today, but I wasn’t here to answer, and he left a message saying he’d call back later this afternoon. THE DOCTOR. not the nurse, not the doctor leaving a message saying everything’s good. The Doctor saying he’ll call back. hmm. I’m thinking this...

This is good, too...
So, tonight, instead of being enthralled by The National and Local Natives, I watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas with my husband, daughter and son. I ended up being sidelined with a nasty migraine earlier today, so our tree decorating stretched into dinner time, and I didn’t feel like cooking, so we ordered a pizza and watched the Grinch. While I’m sure I would have LOVED The...
