In honor of the invisible teeth aligners I just got - which give me a distinct lisp and which make me drool at unexpected times - here is an April playlist to sing along to. Also included: A surprise appearance from Dolly Parton, singing the song I secretly snuck into my wedding playlist for Bryan…

March playlist
We made it to the first day of Spring! In honor of the warming weather, here's a little playlist of songs I've been listening to over and over in the last few weeks. It includes some old standbys, plus the just-released first single off of Fleet Foxes' forthcoming album - a record I'm so excited about I could…
Vocal master
Just popping in to tell you that I have effing MASTERED harmonizing to this song: So, I think it goes without saying that I'm feeling pretty good about myself. I attribute my success to the solo drive I made to and from my parents' house in Michigan this weekend, during which time I sang along to…
Wedding musique
So, it's been a little while. Care to talk some more about my wedding? As you know, music is, like, a thing for me. Naturally, I spent a lot of time thinking about my wedding music, carefully crafting playlists to appropriately set the mood while representing Bryan's and my personalities. Plus, if there's anyone who hates…

While there, we attended a 15-year-reunion show of one of Bryan's favorite bands from back in the day: Saves the Day. They reunited to play their 1999 album, Through Being Cool.

Love and nuzzling and a one man band
It's official. I've met the love of my life. Well, I mean, the love of my life other than the obvious: Jonathan Jameson of Delta Spirit (duh!) who will always hold a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, Jonathan Jameson and I are in a fight right now because his wife just had his baby like…
An extended Sabbath
This past weekend was probably one of the most relaxing weekends I can remember. I basically did nothing but lay on things. On Saturday, Bryan and I slept in until nearly 11AM. I can't remember the last time I did that! After getting out of bed, we both made our way to the front porch,…
Just drinkin’ champagne on the roof of Debbie the Cat’s house next to a guy with coke in his hair
Remember in middle school when we watched those after school special videos that showed crazy house parties, where big kids tried to peer pressure littler kids into taking drugs? I felt like that's where I was on Saturday night. And. It. Was. Awesome. For a number of reasons I don’t care to explain, I had…
