A night with Justin....

The city I live in doesn't see much from the music world. We do have a lot of local talent that starts here and then moves on to make it big and then they forget where they came from. I love to support local musicians whether they are from my city or from the great state of Texas.  So it was a must that I go to an acoustic performance by Justin Furstenfeld. The lead singer of Blue October. A band from Houston Texas that formed in 1995. (And 1995 was a very good year for me.) And over the years I have fallen in love with their style of music. So after last night I know a little more about the man behind the music. The reason they disappeared from the music scene for a while and why he does what he does. It was a good show. Its now in my top 5 of favorite concerts I have attended. It gives me a greater appreciation for their music and a better understanding of the lyrics.
My sister and I went and enjoyed laughing and listening to such talent. I will never forget a lot of what he said and I have a few favorite songs to add to my play list now. I am so glad I was able to be a part of his night. He made everyone feel like we had all been long time friends with him and he was playing in a friends living room. I am also glad our community college did such a great job at getting him here to lil 'ole Amarillo, Texas!


.....There's something that I can't quite explain
I'm so in love with you
You'll never take that away
And if I've said it a hundred times before
Expect a thousand more
You'll never take that away

Well expect me to be
Calling you to see
If you're okay when I'm not around
Asking if you love me?
I love the way you make it sound
Calling you to see
Do I try too hard to make you smile?
To make us smile.......

The torture. The madness

I try. I try to make food last. I try to stick to a grocery budget and sometimes ( more than I'd like) I fail. I'm slowly getting better at buying the important stuff in bulk. Our main meats. Beef. Chicken. Pork. I can stretch that out for months. The big things of Sunny D last about 3 weeks....etc you get the idea. The worst thing I could possibly do is go to Sams on a Saturday afternoon. WHY?? WHY do I do that to myself? It's not like I'm that busy Monday thru Friday! O well lesson learned. When I do go back it will be on a Tuesday morning....a few months from now!

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...
