I just don't want to lose all I've written yet. I need to print some things out I think.

Too long too long. I'm starting my new job today...until the kids got the stomach flu so I get my first day off! I'm going to be nannying now until the end of the holidays...and who knows what will be next! Life has been good. I got to go spend a weekend with my Kannaday family and it was oh so good to see all of them. I just wish the Paddocks could have been there. Other good news, my fantasy football team is doing well. I've lost once so far. I got Shanahan and Lynch's autographs from the Denver Broncos (my favorite team!) and saw the rest of the team from 3 feet away yesterday when they played the Colts. They lost which sucked, but they'll beat them next year. The broncos are up and coming and the colts are old and boring. I'm going to see Eisley again in a few weeks. Caleb, James' friend is going to go with us which should be a lot of fun. This new CD is really quite wonderful.

Justin Vincent is going to lose
He is my first victim during this fantasy football season. This is going to be so much fun. Tonight is the first regular season game!!!! NO, which is very exciting, is playing our dumb team, the Colts. I hope the kick Peyton's ass. :) Max and I have our entertainment center all set up for football, it looks amazing, so everyone should come over and see it...even if you're in TN, it's not that far of a drive. I miss Megan Boyle. She is wonderful. All I do is ramble on now, everything I think more deeply about I never want to dwell on long enough to write on here. But here's a slightly more shallow, but interesting to me, fact that I have learned:
The National Park Service was created by people pushing tourism, it's first leaders were tourism pushers, that idea is heavily ingrained in its past and reason for creation. Conservation, especially as we know it now, came along much later. So though I want them to do a better job, I can't really yell at them and say, this is why they were created and misquote the Congressional Act that created them as so many other environmentalists do. So I guess what I am saying is...we need to make a clean break and change in policy, not just scream that they aren't following their purpose, because they really are. And they've actually gone much more environmental than they had to. So there's that.
Did I mention that I love Megan Boyle? And Eisley too. Always. To tears even.

Currently Listening
Combinations
By Eisley
see relatedI call Combinations!
Yes yes, the new Eisley cd Combinations is out...and listened to...over and over. Of course I love it, of course it makes me cry, of course it makes me think about everything wonderful about my life. Especially Max and Megan. But to the business of calling Combinations...I mean specifically the song. And I don't call it as Max and I's song (Meg, you and Paul can have it if you want
), but I call it as Max, our baby, and I's song. No, I'm not pregnant (as far as I know), but that's who I thought of when I heard this song. I already knew I would be playing Eisley while our baby was sleeping, but I think Combinations the song will be my favorite lullaby. A small piece written out as it appears in the cd jacket as an example...I went for so long and I was so wrong and then I met you
And now I can't live without you and I don't want to
I've done that all my life up til now
All that time, all that time, darling, all that time
How we'll make it up, we'll make it up
Oh, all the days, all the days, darling, all the days
How we'll have to make them up, we'll make them up somehow
I love it. So much. And I think I may make the elvish middle name of our first child "Daylight" I'm not sure yet, I have to get Max approval and see if it fits with the normal first name. It just ties in to another part of the lyrics. I'm not sure why I'm so maternal lately, but it doesn't bother me. I just have a year or two when we can have a bit more money saved. ::wishful and happy sigh::
P.S.- Go to my myspace if you want to hear it!

I drove to Chicago yesterday after work to see Eisley play. It was incredible. The opening band was great, Wesley Jensen. He had Christie Dupree (the youngest Dupree sister that isn't in Eisley...because she was 10 or something when they started) sing at the show and on their album. She's got an incredible voice, not surprising. It was just great. The oldest Eisley sister also sang, which I had never seen her do before. At one show she had said that she was scared to, so it was pretty cool to hear her sing. She had an amazing voice, not surprising. I cried a little. It was great. So great. Their cd comes out soon. Everyone should buy it. But even more than that, everyone should see them play live. They are so beautiful, it's an experience like none other. And then, at 1 am I started driving home. It was a long, late night, but ever so worth it.
