Hitting the High Note

Before you sigh and pass on by, I promise this is not going to be yet another post reminiscing of my Tina Turner performance at Emily's wedding (and at Starz, and at Twist & Shout, and at the place over by MudTown, and at...oh nevermind). No, instead this is going to be a post about music in general. (When I typed "general," it first came out "genereal" and made me laugh out loud...just thought it might make you laugh too...if you would like to leave now I understand...no? really? ok, then I will proceed.)


I have said time and again that I feel like life should come with a soundtrack. Am I alone in this?  Have you ever been gearing up for that major presentation, a long run (not that I would know, but I figure some of you out there might), or some other obstacle and the perfect song comes on the radio and you think "I can do this!"  For me, it makes all the difference in the world.  I try to listen to music as much as possible and I find myself embarrassingly so singing along to whatever song is playing in my head.  Don't be mistaken, that sentence is not supposed to read "on my iPod." I meant "in my head," because yes I beebop along to music that isn't even playing out loud.  It can make for a very awkward elevator ride. I prefer to refer to this as "imaginative" while some of you may prefer to think "crazy." Moving on.


I'll pretend like you understand where I am coming from. So instead of just giving you a recap of where I have been for oh, the last  ::cough cough::  THREE months, I thought I would provide pictures with an appropriate soundtrack :).  I've been just a tiny bit busy, so be prepared for A LOT of pictures...


"After Midnight" by Eric Clapton

Do I look tired in this picture? I should. I was awake in Vegas at 4 a.m. Yes, that's 6 a.m. CST and I had been awake for about 23 hours. Can you wake up in Vegas if you never actually go to sleep?

"No Air" by Jordin Sparks

I chose this song for obvious reasons. "How can I breathe with no air?" as Jordin Sparks would say. I mean don't get me wrong, of course the King gets me a little flustered, but I'm unable to breathe for more materialistic reasons...such as the material in my skirt....cutting.off.circulation...

"Other Side" by Rebelution

There are so many California-ish songs that could work for this picture but this song was just our theme song for the weekend.  Thank you thank you thank you to our California family :-). Forget San Francisco, I left my heart in San Diego. Actually I really love San Francisco too.  Ok, ok, so I left my heart in California...there.

"Billionaire" by Travie McCoy

She may not be one yet but she will be one day! That's 15-year-old professional golfer Lexi Thompson at the Navistar LPGA Classic. She's already sponsored by Red Bull and Puma/Cobra.  And she is incredibly talented too. That nugget in the corner is me doing my job :-). I had the pleasure of hanging out all week in this gorgeous weather and working with the greatest people in the business. We simply just had fun. Jealous?

"New York State of Mind" by Billy Joel

This girl came back for such a great football game.  She's kicking butt in NYC and I LOVE to visit her.  I also love when she visits us, which she so happened to do during the greatest game this season so far: Auburn vs. LSU which brings me to my next picture--

"All I Do is Win" by DJ Khaled

This one is pretty self-explanatory.  War Damn Eagle!

"Out Last Night" by Kenny Chesney

Tunica on Halloween + watching Auburn beat Ole Miss in Oxford = good times.  I'm pretty sure the lovely ladies of the Gold Strike did their Halloween costume shopping at Victoria Secret...or somewhere even more revealing.

"Walkin' in Memphis" by Marc Cohn

Our little trip home from Tunica took a slight detour toward the home of the King himself..Graceland.  As I said before, Elvis does make my heart go pitter patter.  I had not visited Graceland since I was maybe 5 years old.  It was a treat of unbelievable proportions. I love too many Elvis songs to sum up the trip with just one.

So this is where I am right at this point.  Sorry for the long update and hopefully I will be back sooner this time. Thanks for sticking with me!
