Just a highlight...

Christmas was fabulous. I'm still in the process of sorting, boxing, thanking, and uploading. I simply can't tackle all that went on quite yet. But here's one of the best highlights...

Ever have a dream? I did. Mine? To play tambourine with the band. Yep. The tambourine. I can't sing. I don't play a musical instrument. But I can keep a beat. So playing the tambourine, touring with the band. That was my big dream. 

Over Christmas, QuietDrive came to town. On their world tour. (You think you don't know them, but you do. Remake of Time after Time? Hit the top 10? Need to go to Itunes and play a sample or two? It's okay. I'll wait.) 

The band was great. And for the last song? I got to play with the band!!! Tambourine. And just like that, I was living the dream. 20 years later. Good things dreams never die. 

All I can say is, anyone need a little more cowbell?

I love this! You were playing with the band. I guess this is where you've been, off being a rock star. I have new playlists for you. I can send you the cd's or just the playlists. You let me know.

Hi there! I just came over from Kari and Kijsa.

Oh my gosh! I got a cowbell as a semi-gag gift for Christmas, and I posted the video of the cowbell skit. It's one of my favorites!
