This weekend was my 5th Wedding Anniversary, and I spent much of the last few days in dreamy memory-mode. We got engaged on Christmas Eve, and I had no idea it was about to happen. So when the questions started to come within days, (like, “When are you going to get married?”) I was caught [...]

Holding Down the Fort
Posted in General on January 3, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
The holidays flew by and my once bustling, brilliant, pine-scented existence is now quiet. Here I am with a un-adorned home, rainy weather, and a husband who’s going to be traveling non-stop for almost three months. He’ll miss tax season and Valentines Day (which we don’t celebrate anyway), all the hang outs with friends and our [...]
Last run of the year

This last weekend was one final “run” for my husband and many musicians here in Nashville. It seemed my Facebook page was nothing but posts like, “Heading out for three shows in four days! Last run of 2011!” Friday night, I took my husband to the bus to head out for a show. Winter always [...]

The Rock Star and I have been working so hard lately. Non-stop. We have been waking up early and working late. Not noticing that it gets dark at 4:45, we find ourselves snapping out of a work-induced haze around 6pm with only the light of our computer screens (and the Christmas lights that are set [...]

Do you ever have those days when you do something or forget something and you think to yourself “man, where did I leave my head today?!” Come on, I bet you’ve had that kind of days sometime. I sure hope so because lately I’ve been having a lot of them! The other Sunday my husband [...]

Over the past few months I have gotten quite a few comments and emails from fellow Road Widows – saying they can relate, expressing how glad they are to have found this blog and talking about their current situation.

Living in the Moment

This was my conversation with my husband earlier today. Husband: “So <artist> called and wants me to go back out with them.” (subbing for a drummer on medical leave) Me: “Cool. That’s fine.” Husband: “Yeah <drummer> is still out. They need me starting the 15th. Which is tomorrow … Which means I leave tonight.” Me: [...]

I am really glad all of my friends have found their “soul mates.” I just wish they hadn’t found them all at the same time! This year is a year of weddings for me. Three down, four to go… Granted I can’t, financially, go to all of them, but I am doing my best to [...]
