  • release days – and florida.

    I was *very* late to the Swiftie party – but sometime last year, she found me too – by my birthday this year, I had my family watching the Eras film for my party here in the Hippie Hut. ❤ And here we are. 😉 That said, last night, I was up, calling across the… Read more

  • our first music monday of 2023 – pirate edition for coach leach on bowl game day.

    Happy 2023, y’all. Today is our first Music Monday and it’s also our Mississippi State bowl game at noon in Tampa.

  • blogmas day 7 – seeing ellie.

    I love Ellie Holcomb – and Drew too – and my husband and I enjoy streaming their live shows for date night when we can but I haven’t gotten to see them in person live before now. Tonight was Ellie night. ❤ (I have been looking forward to it for some time.) Sara and I… Read more

  • blogmas day 3 – happy christmas john.

    Today is December 8th, the anniversary of John Lennon’s awful passing in 1980. Of course, we all know of his many (many) contributions to music worth celebrating – but, in terms of all things holiday, have you even really Christmas’d yet if you haven’t heard “Happy Christmas (War is Over)”? Over the years, it has… Read more

  • happy music monday – one hit wonder style.

    Well, y’all, as you can see, yesterday was “One Hit Wonder Day” it seems. Unfortunately, your girl was in the land of mathematics and tears all day so we had to just let that thought go until today. However, today is Music Monday – and I’ll be spending it doing some schoolwork and resting this… Read more

  • yay for fall weekends.

    Before I dive into my rather large math assignment – and we all know how much I just love doing those 😉 – I wanted to share how thankful I am for a Friday and Saturday filled with the very best things. ❤ Friday night, Sara and I met our friend Ashley for the Alanis… Read more

  • music monday: writeathon edition.

    Happy Music Monday, y’all. This week is 100% crazy with the school load and deadlines and assignments due – but it’s also our annual SCWC Writeathon and I participate every year. Since it is Writeathon week, I’ll be posting daily – even if I am standing on my head a bit. 😉 It’s also Music… Read more

  • this music monday: a playlist and little storytime.

    Today is Music Monday and I am a bit of a stressing woman. School is in full five alarm crazy mode – it’s that time of year 😉 – and this is a week of doctors and whatnot and I’m just a ball of the anxieties (you know, as I usually name it, just Monday).… Read more

  • earl’s in the trunk – a proper 90’s girl playlist ;)

    I’ve been thinking about having a few themed sort of days each week and I’ve decided that we absolutely need Music Mondays here – with playlists and album discussions and the like – and what better way to start them off than with some 90’s goodness? 🙂 In the car a couple of days ago,… Read more

  • sometimes a song. . .

    Having written in a couple of recent posts both about Jerry’s 80th Birthday and about my love for the Grateful Dead’s “Ripple” – for the umpteenth time 😉 – I am just in love with this recording that I stumbled across of Norah Jones performing it on Jerry’s Birthday.  It’s lovely. ❤ As for me,… Read more
