Dear Diary, Today was Swell!

Well, I'm here on day 11 and it's starting to kill me. Okay, not really, but this time without sugar has been a reflection of all the sugar I actually ingest on a daily basis! Crazy!

The last week has been fun. Friday night, I went to a concert for Jason Reeves and Brendan James (both on the playlist). Jason co-wrote all of Colbie Caillait's album (the "Bubbly" song) and is seriously an amazing songwriter. The great part is: the concert started at 7 and was over by 9...on a Friday. Me and my "I think I've finally hit old" self went to bed by 10. Amen sister...amen.

Saturday night was different (obviously). I went to see Paper Route (see playlist) play at Exit/In in Nashville and enjoyed the sweaty heat of 500 bodies packed into one tight room. Seriously though, they are amazing live and if you get a chance to see them you should! Then we went over to dance at my little spot B23. We always end up in VIP there and I was amazed to see that there weren't many people up there this time. Well...I realized when I looked over that it was because Carrie Underwood was enjoying hanging out up there as well on Saturday night. I danced crazy hoping that she would be like "that girl looks fun, we should be friends" but to no avail. Carrie Underwood still doesn't know that we need to be friends. Hopefully she'll figure that out soon.

The week so far has been great! Monday...we found out that Ellery, my nugget little niece, is going to have a baby SISTER in December! Not only that, but my brother Mike and his wife Ashley will have a baby BOY in November!! I'm getting a little niece and a nephew!! I'm so excited!!

Then, last night, the women in my Women Acting with a Vision group (WAV...pronounced "wave") went to Olia Zavozina's house where her new husband grilled for us and we talked about future trips that we need to take. The most exciting thing, however, was that Olia was contacted by some women in Nashville who are taking some of her clothes to possibly featured on some of Oprah's shows! She's really excited about that...and I'm pretty excited for her! What talented friends I have!

I'm going to start a poll (if I can figure out how)...please click to the left :)
