Panic mode has settled in. I’m leaving in 48 hours for SxSWi and um, I’m SO not ready. I’ve been slowly gathering and planning a reasonable wardrobe for warmish weather for around 3 weeks now, and yesterday my friend Arianne casually says to me “You know it’s going to be chilly and rainy, right?”
Um, no. Cause that’s just fab. Really.
I live in Louisiana, people. I laid out in my backyard to get a tan yesterday. I don’t have chilly weather clothing. It’s TEXAS for crying out loud, it’s not supposed to be cool in March. So my relaxing 3 weeks of gathering exactly what I want/need has come down to two very hectic days trying to figure out what in the world I’m gonna do. And apparently I need an umbrella, heh.
Aside from my clothing dilemma (ok, with me it’s always a clothing dilemma) I had to do one other very important thing…update my playlist on my iPhone! Here are the songs making the cut this week…enjoy!
1. The Climb – Miley Cyrus — Ok, I’m TOTALLY not a Miley Cyrus fan, not for any other reason but that I’m not generally a fan of her voice. This song is my new favorite for the week though – love the lyrics, the sound, all of it. It makes me happy, stick it on your “motivation and inspiration” playlist and let it make you happy too. 
2. Green Light (feat. Andre 3000) – John Legend — Love this song, when it comes on I’m usually groovin’ around my house in a mellow mood. It makes me smile!
3. Candle (Sick and Tired) – The White Tie Affair — I heard this song the other day and it was one of those songs that had me bouncing around singing it for the rest of the night. It is rock/pop and lots of fun, I’m a fan.
4. Here Comes Goodbye – Rascal Flatts — So I’m on a bit of a Rascal Flatts kick since I saw their rockin’ show last Friday night. Seriously, these guys are way talented, seem down-to-earth, and put on a truly awesome show for their fans. This is their newest single from their album which drops April 7th.
5. Kiss A Girl – Keith Urban — If you keep up with Chic Tunes Tuesday, you already know I’m a huge Keith Urban fan. Today marks the release of the second song from his yet-to-be-released album “Defying Gravity”. I downloaded it about 30 minutes after it hit iTunes this morning and I’m already smitten. He’s good, what can I say.
I like all of the above and I have to say, not a big fan of Miley but I watched her performances on HBO or Disney or whatever and she puts on a great show. I was entertained anyways. gah, i’m pathetic.
I’ll be there too next week. I didn’t know it was going to be COLD! Great.
I am also a closet partial-Miley fan. Kids love her show and it’s pretty cute!
@A Cowboys Wife — Thanks! You’re not pathetic, by the way, because I completely agree. And I luff that new song.
I love Green Light! It’s a great song!
The Climb by Miley Cirus is a really great song.
I hope that you ended up packing the *perfect* wardrobe!! I know you HATED to run around last minute…that would have totally stressed me out!
And can I just say how JEALOUS I am that you saw RF?!!? SO wanted to be there, but hubs just couldn’t understand why I NEEDED to fly to NOLA for it – something about having diapers to buy, kids to feed, etc. He claims the biggest problem would have been transporting milk…if he only knew!
Austin may be rainy now but generally its muggy and HOT! Have a blast I LOVE that city!
LOL. Okay, I will check out “Crib”…when i saw Miley was on your list I was going to make fun, but the rest of the songs are so good I am going to have to assume I will like this one too!
