On Repeat: Amanda Shires

This is a new series I've decided to start. I am really bad about listening to the same cd on repeat for long periods of time. I thought since music is a huge part of my everyday life, that I would share that on here. Starting this off right is a friend of mine and a member of my husband's band Thrift Store Cowboys, Amanda Shires. This is her third solo cd and she's got rave reviews. She is an amazing fiddle player, songwriter, singer, and jump roper. I have a bad habit of listening to the same 4 songs over and over, this week I've ventured out of my comfort zone and fell in love with Shake the Walls and Bees in the Shed. Here are the first 3 songs on the album that have awesome videos:








You can visit Amanda over on Facebook or her website. You can also see her in the movie Country Strong as Gwyneth Paltrow's fiddle player.

Does anyone else listen to the same cd forever, or is that just me?

A Few of My Favourite Things

Yesterday was the best day ever, mostly because I slept for 10 hours straight. I also went to Zumba with my co-worker Jordan. We had fun while almost killing ourselves.

Here are a few of my favourite things this week:

Shorts with tights. This has been my go to outfit...I'll be wearing it today.

Starbucks instant coffee. I think I've saved a million dollars this week just by switching to instant.

I am in love with this show! I just finished season 1. Clint said that the Crashdown (a cafe in the show) really exists. I plan to make him take me soon, since New Mexico is not far from here.

One of my friends, and the fiddle player for my husband's band (Thrift Store Cowboys), recently released her new album Carrying Lighting. I have been listening to it non stop. Hopefully I'll do a review of it soon.

Speaking of the husband, his band is still touring so if you're in the area check out their show, you won't be disappointed!

Who is going to see Harry Potter tonight? I'm working, but I don't like going when it's crazy. I am considering seeing if there is a morning show that is not sold out....
