My August Spins...

A few of the songs I've been obsessed with this month....

Vice by Miranda Lambert.  
I'm usually 'on-the-fence' about Miranda.  I like her well enough.  Saw her at a music festival years ago, and she puts on a great show.  I own a few of her songs, but she isn't exactly a favorite, and her songs usually wear on me after a few plays.  This one, however- AMAZING.  I can't stop listening.


Ophelia by The Lumineers.
This band can really do NO wrong, in my eyes (ears). 
 I'm really wanting to add this album to my vinyl collection.


In Bloom (Nirvana Cover) by Sturgill Simpson
This one took me some time.  When I first heard it, I HATED it.  But after hearing it a few times, I've grown to love Simpson's rendition of this 90's classic.  I love cover songs that really change a well-known song, so I'm not sure why it took awhile for this one to click with me, but I'm glad it finally did!


Ain't No Man by the Avett Brothers
Again, the very first time I heard this on SiriusXM I wasn't sure I was a fan of it.  I love the Avett Brothers, and this was a sound I wasn't used to hearing from them.  I ended up heading over to Spotify to listen to their new album in its entirety, and of course it left me just as smitten as always. 

Love Triangle by RaeLynn 
I don't know much about this artist, but her voice is amazing, and this song is painstakingly beautiful.

What have you been listening to this month?

The Quarantine Connection.

Man, where have I been? When I come back to this place, it's like visiting an old friend.  It's nice, it's comforting, but also it's a bit sad.  I get sad that I let time, distance, and life get in between this friendship.  I always vow I'm going to visit this space more often... and then I get back to life. So, what has life looked like since my last post, back in the summer of 2018? I'm married. I now have a son, who will be one next month. I've lived through the worst part of potty-training. I've lost a grandparent. I've lost some friends. I've gained some new friends. I've strengthened some dear friendships, thanks largely to technology. I'm feeling more and more "settled" as an educator.  I've continued to work on that life balance of work/family/friends/community/me.  (Still working on it.) I've learned about enneagrams. I've finally become a podcast listener.   We are living thr

Are you a pod(cast) person?

                    I have to admit, I am usually one of the lasts to accept new technological norms.               When iPods became a thing, I clutched onto my beloved CD collection with all that I had.     When Netflix stopped shipping DVD's and became a streaming-only service, I canceled my account. I JUST bought a firestick for our living room TV when quarantine began. Maybe "technology" isn't the problem, but more that I haven't been quick to accept new ways in which to receive entertainment.  (Weird sentence?)  Same goes for podcasts. "I like talk radio.  Why do I need a podcast?  I'd rather just listen to music... " Until I was introduced to a few podcasts, that is.   Now, they are almost all I listen to when given the chance.  When I'm cooking or cleaning in the kitchen and my family is in the other room...podcast.  When I'm driving.... podcast.  When I'm working my side gig (#teacherlife)... podcast.  When I'm SHOWERING....

This Week//Next Week

Image
This past week: I went hard into wedding planning mode (seeing as how we only have about 4 weeks left, it's about time I did...).  We shopped, we worked on details, and I have managed to cross most of my tasks off of my to-do list.  Still working on our playlists, so if you have any suggestions for must-play songs, throw them my way! I also enjoyed Michael being home a lot this past week.  His work-load was pretty light, and it was so great for he and Scarlett to have some extra time together.  Celebrating the Fourth mid-week made for a fun change of pace! I bought this dress from Amazon in a couple of shades, and after wearing it this week, I want to go back and order every color available. It is so comfortable and effortless, but doesn't forfeit style.  (Note:  Sizing isn't too off, but in order for the dress to hang as it does in the photo I would consider sizing up.)  I have a feeling I will be living in mine for the remainder of the summer... It seemed li
