Ripping off the band-aid

Jeebus.  Has it been almost two months?!  I hate when this happens because I always feel overwhelmed when I finally get back to blogging...so many stories to tell, so many pictures to show.  Where to start?  I kept up with my December Daily and have been doing Project Life (along with everybody else in the universe).  I am enjoying it.  It is a lot of work though.  And honestly, I feel like that is why the blog has remained dusty for the last few months.  I have been recording every iota of my existence since December 1st, 2011.  Between Instagram, Facebook, Twitter....I just felt slightly nauseated talking about myself and my family that much, and I needed a break.  I also work for IBM, so I get my daily computer quota by noon everyday.

Let's start slow.  A few things that have been on my radar lately.

I scored Sarah Mclachlan tickets. She is in Toronto in June playing with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.  I have wanted to see her perform in concert since high school.  And the stars have finally aligned.

Listening to this song on repeat, and wondering how I can snag tickets to their secret show in Toronto that 102.1 the Edge is sponsoring.


Wanting to order these two skirts from James Perse.

Loving this website.

 Planning my California trip for a good friend's wedding in April.

Slightly depressed that Rowan got his hair cut at the barbershop this weekend and he is starting to look like a big boy.

 

Cosmic Love

Florence & the Machine and So You Think You Can Dance.....It doesn't get much better than this...I am a bit obsessed with this girl. I love her edge.

Pumped Up Kicks

This song makes me yearn for warm weather. And it is so catchy, especially the whistling bit. Which is ironic given the meaning behind the song...

King of Limbs

Radiohead's new album dropped on Friday. I like what I am hearing thus far. Reminds me of the "Kid A" days. Thom Yorke is such a creative genius and seeing him getting his groove on in the Lotus Flower video makes me very, very happy. New album equals new tour dates. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'll be waiting for you in Toronto, Thom!

The digital copy is available for download here. They also have what they are calling a "Newspaper" album, which includes the album on vinyl, and some other cool items like artwork. You have to check out this video. Genius.
