Homeward Bound

Miss M's 2nd Birthday

I'm a very happy girl today.

I'm headed home for a long weekend with my family.

It does feel like I was just there (because I was) but I'm looking forward to going back again, this time for a happier occasion - Miss M's 3rd birthday.  She's my favorite little girl, and while I know I'm biased, I think she's pretty incredible.  Her mom reports that she's come to the airport enough times now to pick me up that when she sees an airplane she asks if it is "Jamie's oar-o-plane."   In other news, we finally got her to say a few words to me on the phone - a major accomplishment, since all past attempts were made up of her demanding to talk to me, getting the phone and standing there silent, then handing the phone to her mom and then running to hide.  I am the very definition of a proud Auntie.

This song from my favorite new artist is perfect for today:

A New Crush

I have a new musical crush.

I had a lazy weekend thanks to a pesky cold, so I used Hulu to catch up on a little TV, including the latest episode of "Friday Night Lights."  I heard a gorgeously haunting song that I had to track down by a guy named Dan Auerbach called "When the Night Comes."



I found myself digging through YouTube looking for more and my crush is starting to bloom into full blown love.  He fits in well with some of my other great loves: Ray LaMontagne, Amos Lee, Alexi Murdoch and The Avett Brothers.  Check him out, I think you'll be glad you did.
