check!

To-do lists really keep me on track. I know I’m in for a good day if I write my to-do list in the morning and keep referring to it all day. Today, I wrote my list. Well, a lot of it was left over from yesterday, but still… I had plenty to do. The problem...

Happy Birth day, Stephanie!

In honor of the fact that Stephanie is in the hospital right now, either having her baby or enjoying it, I thought this would be the perfect time to post the session we did a few weeks ago! Stephanie is a friend of mine who does interior design. If anyone needs an interior designer, Stephanie is...

A date!

Last Friday, Dave and I actually got out of the house and went on a date! I think our last date was the same thing… a concert. We found the coolest concert: the Hotel Cafe Tour. Not only was Ingrid Michaelson playing, but so were a bunch of other amazing artists. They seemed like they were...

AllisonK - how wonderful that you were able to get away and have such a fun date! Some of my favorite artists as well.

Ellie - Thanks for the shout-out! It was a pure pleasure to meet you; I actually got tongue tied while chatting with you. Kinda weird like a celeb.
Anyhow ~ Jesca Hoop is who you are talking about maybe or was it the other girl who just played her guitar?

Mindy - Shannon, I saw the Hotel Cafe Tour in SLC just a few weeks ago!! It was pretty much my favorite concert ever. I haven’t been to very many concerts, but still…
I went with my two sisters and two of my cousins. We had a blast! We got to sit down, which was MUCH better than the Colbie Caillat concert a few months ago where we stood for three hours. I’m with you–I feel so old, but not too proud to admit that I prefer to sit!
Anyway, we saw Ingrid (awesomely talented, and hilarious to boot), Meiko, Cary Brothers, Jim Bianco, and Dan Wilson. I loved them all. Dan was a little nerdy at first and it took awhile for us all to warm up to him, then he starts explaining how he wrote a little song and the “whole world” heard it but didn’t get what it was about (having his first baby). I thought he was just flattering himself with that “whole world” business, until he started singing it: “Closing Time”. I guess he’s the lead singer for Semisonic (sp?). We all belted the chorus with him–”I know who I want to take me home…” It was so much fun.
Did Ingrid do her “round” that she just wrote? Can’t wait to hear that one on her next album.
Wish we could go to concerts together!

davina - dates are wonderful! Your date sounds like it was amazing and super fun!! yay! I’m so glad you’re getting to go out together. wohoo!

Mike and I have started doing themed dating. we have a theme for each week (sports, theatre, something we’ve never done, etc…I know it sounds complicated but it’s really not. it just makes us think a little and be slightly more creative) and we trade who gets to plan the date every week. that way our dates don’t get to be the same old, same old. so…there’s some info you totally didn’t ask for! lol.
