Mamma-ism Clarification

After a quick visit to make sure Britt was doing well and looking fabulous in his hospital gown... we went to the Diner with Tamara, ran a few errands and headed out of the city. Sadly :(

I am pleased to say that we found Matt right where we left him at the Sheetz in Scranton, PA today. :) He had a great visit with his family, and even though he probably wouldn't have protested... he didn't have to spend the ENTIRE time at Sheetz.

This chickidee got to eat at Cracker Barrel tonight!! It's only the second time so far this year. Something just plain ole wrong with that! :) But we're working on remedying that.

In case you didn't see the comment chain on yesterday's blog... I'll clarify the Mamma-ism I posted last night. (She has mentioned that she heard it HER whole life from her Mamma and Grandmamma) It didn't occur to me that you may not know what it means!!! I've heard it so much in my life...

"It won't be noticed on a galloping horse"; It means - whatever it is that you're talking about is so small that you would never notice it on a galloping horse. Comes in handy in the teenage years - blemish on the skin... small hole in your pants... the stud that fell out of my ring on stage the other day... a scratch on my fiddle...

It kinda takes "Don't sweat the small stuff" to a newer level.

We've got 3 more shows and then we get to take a little break. Not gonna lie. I am SOOOOO excited about seeing Cinnamon. I haven't seen her since Easter Sunday. It's time.


Peace. Love. Fiddle.

Surprised Kitty

Even though I am SURE he's already seen it...

I dedicate this video to my 2009 Peace Love Fiddle Commenter of the year: Natalie's Favorite Farm Boy Fan



It never gets old :)

Speaking of things never getting old.... My sweet puppy hates being cold and/or wet. She's a little Miss Priss. So she will leave one foot off the ground and hop on the other three if the grass is wet or snowy... as if that actually does anything or keep her from getting any less wet. Even so... it makes me smile every time :)

She spent the day playing with her awesome Christmas hedge hog that makes grunting noises. Love it.
Santa has to hunt these days to find an animal she doesn't already have. Poor little deprived puppy dog.

THERE'S STILL SNOW ON THE GROUND!!!!! Which equals complete happiness from this chick. :)

Peace. Love. Fiddle.

Lost in Sicknation

Goodness.

First of all... THANK YOU for all the prayers and well wishes. This is just ridiculous...

Yesterday before we left Chicago I went to a walk-in clinic to get checked out. When the doc said "Well, you don't have pneumonia... yet..." I thought. OH MY, glad I came in...

So yeah... bronchitis can be pretty serious, but I think we got to it early enough. It makes me glad I canceled the show. But I am well into my antibiotics now. (So don't worry Farm Boy! Thanks for putting in the good words with the biotics... cause the anti-agent seems to be working!)

Earlier today I didn't even feel like watching Lost... that's bad...

But now I am watching Lost episodes like a Champion and even ate a full meal... Actually, I attacked it like I hadn't eaten in weeks. YAY! Who knows what tomorrow may bring. Maybe TWO meals ;)

For now... I'll leave you with the first picture we've gotten back from the photo shoot. Lots more are on the way, but this is all I've got for now. The pic was taken by the lovely Amanda Van Sandt with hair and make-up by Lorena Lopez. My girls!


By the way... the good thing about being a performer is that I look EXACTLY like this after laying in bed sick for 2 days *wink wink*



Peace. Love. Fiddle.
