Finally!

I got to see Dave Barnes live. And I am now complete. Not quite, but
seriously he was absolutely amazing. At first Dave and the band seemed a
bit off(sorry, but I have to be honest) but it didn't take long for something to click and they got it together and gave an incredible show. Its safe to say seeing him live totally validates why he's one of, if not my favorite male artist.

Side note: Last week I realized that he will be playing at The Bitter
End on March 6th (I think, the date is fuzzy). Oh well, I may just have
to go see him again...Rats!!!
My photography skills definitely left a lot to be desired Friday night
and out of the many pics I took these were the only ones I can
post...(yes they were all that bad. )

-No plans to quit my day job anytime soon

Just In Case You Were Wondering...

What song was playing on the previews for Men In Trees for the past few
weeks,(and I think it was played in last week's show) it is "New Shoes"
by Paolo Nutini. For my fellow iTunes fans it was a "Single Of The Week"
a few months ago. Anyway, its a really great song...its my new happy
song. (everyone should have at least one)

-Happy Friday
(Dave Barnes here I come)

Its True...

I'm going to see Dave Barnes in Atlanta this weekend. I am so
excited!!! I have been wanting to see him live for so long...

Coming To America

I love Becks and I am so excited that he will be playing here in the
States. (Confession...I've been a fan of David ever since he married
Posh)
I am not really a big sports fan. But every now and then I will get
totally sucked in. This being one of those times. So will I go to see
him play? Yes! Will I try to lure my friends into joining in on all the
fun? Absolutely!
-Good times

Maintenance Day...

Nails...check
Hair...check
Wax...check

Alright I think I'm all set....
Well almost, I really would love to get in to Anastasia....so someone
please cancel...its been three weeks since my last visit. And I don't
think I can wait another two weeks.

-Hoping for a cancellation

Bright Idea

So last night I said let me start the new year off right. Let me get in
a quick practice (Yoga of course) before I go home. Uh... The gym was
packed. It never dawned on me that everyone and their mother might had
the same idea. Not to mention everyone's New Years resolutions usually
begins with getting in shape/getting healthy. Last week there was
practically no one there this week you could hardly find a place to put
your mat. Despite the crowd, I had a wonderful practice. (Fyi, I'm not
really big on a crowded yoga class)luckily it won't last long.... That's
so horrible of me to say.
Happy New Year!

--Love & Luck

Where Did 2006 Go?

I can't believe its almost 2007. The holidays have been hectic, but its
my favorite time of year so it makes everything worth it. I had a
wonderful Christmas and so did my family and that puts a BIG smile on my
face. So now I'm thinking what will my resolutions be this year. Last
year(well this year's really) was to slow things down. And I did...
drastically. Extreme? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely, and I think its one of
the best things I've done. That being said its time to pick up the pace,
not back to my old ways but there is a happy medium and that's where I
will dwell in 2007.
-More to come

What I'm Listening To Now: Jay-Z

I am still breaking in my new iPod (yes I finally gave in for an
upgrade, its a little roomy but it fits)
Its not very often my void for GREAT Hip-Hop can be filled. So it was
only natural that when I came across Kingdom Come, I knew it was an
absolute must for heavy rotation. I don't feel the need to explain how
great I think Jay-Z is because if you have ever listened to his music
then you already know. So instead I will give you some of my personal
favs....
"Hollywood" feat. Beyonce'
"30 Something"
"Beach Chair" feat. Chris Martin of Coldplay (one of, if not my favorite
band...ever)
"Minority Report" feat. Ne-Yo... Wow!
"Lost One" feat. Chrisette Michele

-All grown up

Sex And The City: The Movie

I can't wait!
Hopefully it will stick this time.

Good News

Beginning November 30th "Men In Trees" moves to Thursdays (where it
belongs, in my opinion) not only is it moving to a new night, but a full
season of "MIT" has been ordered as well. Yeah!!!
-I'm excited

I Almost Forgot

I was perusing itunes earlier this week and I came across "Deal Breaker"
a slightly humorous short story about a woman's dating dilemmas, that
was directed by Gwyneth Palrow. Its up on the iTunes store main page and
its a free download as well. I'm not sure if its a like the free music
download they do weekly, but just in case it is you have until Tuesday
before it changes to something else. Just thought I should post this in
case there is a Gwyneth fan (like myself) that wants to add her
directing debut to their iTunes film collection.

Rewind

This summuer I did a post on Dave Barnes and I can't help gushing about
this artist again (He's that good.)The more I listen to him the more I
love his music. I can't believe that this guy has not been a Vh-1 artist
"You Outta Know"... YET. If you haven't heard this man's music and if
you are like me who is always looking for great music, listen Dave. He
is truly an amazing gift.
-Enjoy

Just A Friendly Reminder: Once Again

John Legend's sophomore album "Once Again" is out this Tuesday. If you
aren't sure of who he is let me refresh your memory...Grammy winner,
with hit songs, "Ordinary People" and "Use To Love You" works with
Kanye West. And if you still have no clue who Legend is, think Oprah and
her Legends Ball. He was the only male invited so he could croon for
the ladies. I've heard a few songs from the album and let me tell you,
its something special. "P.D.A." is already a favorite song, and I
haven't even heard the entire album yet.
-Review to follow

Back To My Old Ways

I made way back to Saturday morning yoga practice, and I feel great. I
had stopped going to Saturday practice for a month or so, and now
there's a different instructor, in fact its the same instructor that use
to sub for Saturday practices(whenever it was needed) Anyway her style
in more of a power yoga (I posted about her a few months ago.) Today's
practice was a nice change, and a wonderful work out. It was a bit
slower than what she normally does, but I did a lower body workout and
lots of cardio yesterday so I didn't mind, at all. Its different when
you go in not knowing what to expect for the flow of practice, then
going in expecting something/someone and getting something totally
different. This morning I wasn't sure what/who to expect, so everything
worked out well. That being said I will be starting back to my regular
Saturday practices again. Adding in one power yoga practice to my weekly
routine will spice things up a bit.

-Namaste

I've Got My Eyes On (Quickie)

If you are an Entourage fan then you will appreciate this. I know I do.

What I'm Listening to Now: Corinne Bailey Rae

Sometimes my reaction to some music artists is very delayed. Case in
point, Corinne Bailey Rae. I've heard her music before, but I just
recently started to really appreciate her. I have been missing out. She
has this organic sound that's... perfectly, imperfect. A real
unrehearsed style that's amazing. Its going into heavy rotation. There I
said it.

Truth Be Told...

I'm enjoying getting use to my new Sidekick3 just as much as I enjoy
breaking in a new pair of shoes. So I miss my SK2.
...I'll get over it, I always do.

I've Got My Eyes On...

Although I've said in the past that this is not a fashion blog(and its not)but the fact is I love fashion. However my intention is not to bombard you with endless fashion posts, but to keep you abreast of what's popping on my radar :)


Let's catch up, shall we? I love the ballet flats movement. They are comfy and you can dress them up & down, and I'm all about versatility (We can finally give the Manolo's and Choo's a break and still look chic.)I love these flats in metallics, sparklies, black and as pictured in this cute leopard print. London Sole

If you can't tell by now, I am a big Anthropolgie fan. I especially love their fall and winter seasons. The pieces from this store all seem to have a hint of nostalgia to them, which I love.
This jacket has grown on me. Again, the versatility puts a smile on my face. I can dress it down it with jeans or wear it to work with a fabulous skirt. Anthropologie

While perusing Girlshop (another favorite) I stumbled upon this "find" by Ziji.

When I was in Australia a few years ago, I was looking for some trendy pieces, Tsubi was one of the the brands that came highly recommended. Tsubi superskinny jeans with side zip, its time to pre-order at My Catwalk

I've Found My Way Back

Clearly I've been lost, why I haven't been able to make my way back to this blog. Besides the fact that I am absolutely devastated my sidekick is officially dead (which is what I do 80% of my blogging with) A few months ago I posted that I wanted the new Sidekick 3 but that was before it came out and I saw it in person and decided I prefer the SK2 instead. But now I have no choice but to upgrade. I thought about getting a Blackberry, but the Sidekick just seems more appealing to me its more fun and accommodates my needs more. So I'm giving in and upgrading...Whatever!
On the plus side its been nice having one phone to keep up with, but these days are soon over.

I have completely fallen off the Macrobiotics wagon. I will get back on....
I am narrowing down my list of what I've got my eyes on lately, so expect that post really soon.

Men In Trees

Kind of fills the Sex And The City void, in a PG sort of way.
