HAPPY MONDAY!!!! I’m working on today’s list so bear with me while I fill it up with as many book-goodies as I can find. And don’t forget, in case you didn’t know… this Tuesday (tomorrow) & Wednesday is PRIME DAY again!!! YAY US!! As usual, I will try and find us some goodies of ALL sorts.
THREE THINGS:
1.) We (my boyfriend and I, and two of his sons) went to see the Zac Brown Band on Saturday in Tampa and IT. WAS. FABULOUS!!!!! Truly a spectacular show, and his band (at least by the end of the night) was HUGE!!!!! Like “big band music” HUGE. Steel guitars, guitarists, saxophones, trumpets (and other brass players I’m sure), back up singers, violinist/fiddle (so talented he blew my mind), bongos, keyboards, the list goes on. They played all of his hits, plus a few incredible covers like The Devil Went Down to Georgia. P.S. My FAVORITE song by him is “Free” and when they played it, they smoothly transitioned to “Into the Mystic” and then back again to finish “Free” (<— OMG I JUST FOUND IT!!! Please listen to this amazingness) and I swear I had tears running down my face, it was so deep.
2.) And he is SUCH A FAN OF HIS OWN BAND. Zac Brown presented each band member to the audience, and the story of how they joined the band before every new song. By the end, they played a medley of 70s/80s/90s pop and disco sings and each musician SANG a song on their own. The most talented group of singers and musicians EVER. Wow. Everyone needs to go see them even if you don’t know there music (as I didn’t until I met my boyfriend). Just incredible. You’ll be delighted to discover these guys (or maybe everyone knew about them, except for me) and all I can say is a HUGE THANK YOU to my boyfriend for introducing me to them.
3.) It’s my mom’s birthday today!!! Happy birthday my wonderful mommy. I miss you so much!

Unless… Unless one woman offers herself as a sacrificial bride for the rest. Asha isn’t worried about being chosen, of course. The decree was quite clear about beauty being among the top criteria for being selected as one of the king’s unfortunate brides. And Asha is no beauty, all thanks to the illegal magic that inhabits her body, leaving her scarred and missing an eye. The same magic that occasionally possesses her voice so it can amuse itself by telling a never-ending story with a string of horrible cliffhangers. The problem is, Asha might not be a beauty, but her sister Dinah is. When Asha realizes Dinah is in danger of being selected as the king’s sacrificial bride, Asha decides she can’t live with that risk. So she offers herself instead…”

I like that Maryse! I need some new music too! I’m in a music rut.
1. We hosted a wedding over the weekend and while it turned out great, I’m soooo glad it’s over. My house/yard is a wreck and it’s going to stay that way for a while I think!
2. We’re supposed to go to Puerto Rico in a couple weeks and I have to fight with the airline today to get a credit. You would think that would be automatic, considering.
3. *if* I get the credit, we’re supposed to use it for another trip to Isla, but I’m so dog tired I kind of wish my husband would go somewhere with a friend and leave me here alone for a week with the poodle!
YAY R!!!
I love how much you get to travel (it must be so fun exploring all sorts of places and cultures), but I bet I’d be exhausted too. I have an aversion to airports (they stress me out – I have no idea why but I think it’s all the racing while you still have to be in line everywhere), so I think just that alone on a frequent basis would just exhaust me.
I HATE flying but I love to travel so I make do! I was able to pay $100 and change the flights to Mexico so we’re headed back to Isla for our Halloween anniversary. I can’t wait. This time we’re going to do a submarine, a taco & tequila tour, and more snorkeling!
