Why I wrote Drifting…

Image
Thank you Ed for thinking of me on your new podcast, “Looking out the Window.” And yes, I’m okay…now…  Thank you for being concerned. (grin) The promo is really, really cool! http://lookingoutthewindow.com/LOTW-promo1.mp3     The podcast is about why you write certain songs and since Drifting is the only one I have out… well….  Bad situation?, yes,…over it? Yeah, but talking about it was weird. It’s always hard to rehash a relationship that you’d really rather forget. Well, I don’t want to forget, I want to learn from and never, never be in the same situation again. Hmmmm…. its been one of those, “I need another dose of P&W to get through” moments for the past few days. Yuk!! (BTW – Dan (a.k.a. Tug) I can not even begin to tell you how awesomely effective those songs have been for me! THANK YOU!! I’ve needed them and they came at the perfect time! Bless you!) Not sure when the cast will be up, but needless to say, it will be weird for me! I may crawl in a hole ...

EBAN CRAWFORD!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!

Okay, all I’m going to say is…oye-vey!!....and, thank you for playing Amazing Grace…and even if Gerard has half a brain….which I’m sure he does…I’m sure he has much better things to do than come to Texarkana. Not that I would mind, but….I can’t even think about it!!  Anywho…if ya google him, you’ll find a gazillion-billion other women who are “crushing” on him as well! So, I’m just another random girl!!  One cool thing about me, though? Well…..I am a RFL Royal Court member!!  In fact, I’m the current queen….maybe that will be some extra kudos with him!!

I can't hold it in any longer....I have a crush!!

Okay, it’s finally time to admit that I ….have a crush!! Since I teach a lot of young people I sometimes keep movies on that are musically encouraging…i.e. Mary Poppins, Sound of Music…and lately Phantom of the Opera. Slews of the kids LOVE the last one. Therefore I keep it going quite often. I’ve actually blogged about the movie before, but this time….different. It didn’t do so well at the box office, but I understand that DVD sales and rentals are pretty good. Weeeeellll, I was watching it today and I thought to myself, man that guy who plays the Phantom is really hot! (At least half of his face is…) I knew that I had seen him in other movies, but I guess I really didn’t pay that much attention! The only one I remember was “Timeline.” (Great book; movie…could have been MUCH better….) I remember that the only reason why I continued watching the movie was because there was this really hot guy with an amazing Scottish dialect! Then, my friend reminded me that she had another movie that ...

Curtis may be hot, but Jesus is cool!!

 Wow! What an awesome weekend!! We had Turning Point weekend at our church and I got the privilege to work with the 7 th grade girls and they were AWESOME!! Of course, we got kicked out of Wal-Mart for doing parts of our video scavenger hunt, witnessed to some cool bikers at the movies…after we leapfrogged right in front of the building…ROCK!! We were crazy!!  And sorry Matt about “resting” while the girls galloped through the woods to see the boys. I saw the hair….flour and water…HA!!….I told them, “That’s what ya get for ‘forkin’ someone’s yard!!”  (Tug, you’ll have to add that to your list of what NOT to do next year…forkin’!!) Hee, hee!! I had to ask Cary what “spoonin’” was….OYE!! On a more spiritual side…kudos to Matt Rey-Rey and his friend for the really amazing study! You guys SO need to publish that!! It was on discipline and God grace and love in His discipline! He’s kind but not soft!! I personally learned a ton!! I’ll never be the same again!!! Also kudos ...

Eban Pleeeeeze Forgive Me!!!!

  I am SUCH a dork!! It’s been one of those loooooong days that you have in your life when your brain is just...tired! Or here in the Ark-La-Tex we say “tarred.” So I had an interview with David Jackson of The Musicians Cooler ! (AWESOME site by the way!! If you want to know about music and podcasting...check him out!!!) So while I was...hopefully...giving some useful information, David asked me about the podcats I listened to and enjoyed! I think I mentioned everyone but EBAN !! What a dork am I!!!! The interview doesn’t go up until Monday, but I only hope that Eban will forgive me!!!! I emailed the MP3 to David in desperation!! OYE! I’ll just let the MP3 say it for me!!! (AH! I’m so disappointed with myself!!) (grovel, grovel, grove!!!!!!)   Eban I luv you the most-est, man!!!  

My mother: the child!!

Yes, Ken, it’s been a while!! (since I’ve blogged!) …..a lot has happened….many things I can’t even discuss, but…..there is always a purpose, there’s always a plan and it’s all going to be okay. (can ya tell I’ve been praying…A LOT!!??) J Always a good thing in my opinion.   Question of the day: When was the point that your parent (my mom in this case) becomes the child and you become the parent??   For goodness sake, my mother…who is uber talented (I really don’t like that word “uber”…ah well it fits.) is working with me musically…she’s just the best!! Seriously!! So, I have this P&W song that I sang at church and we are doing a DEMO. So, I have the chords there, the bass line….minimal, but there….and I just need her amazing piano playing…she did this really cool thing at church and I LOVED it and wanted her to do that riff. Has she done it??? NO!!! “I haven’t had time, I’m not sure what to do with the MIDI ….” Whine, whine, whine!! Come on mom! I’ve set it all up for yo...
