They've got Whatever It Is

My new love is the Zac Brown Band. They're so adorable, and even though they've only had two songs out on the radio (on our ONE country station) I've downloaded a lot of their stuff, and I simply adore them. I don't exactly know what it is about them but they've got something that I totally dig.

I also saw a little interview on GAC where they talked about how they write all of their own stuff and they just seemed like genuinely nice guys. And a lot of fun too, I'd love to hang out with them!



And I LOVE the fiddle in this one...



But this is my current FAVE song by ZBB, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE the little bit of "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison they included in the middle of this live version I found on YouTube. I HEART Van Morrison, so now I'm convinced that Zac and I are, like, "right there".



Enjoy!

Oh boy!

Mother's Day was awesome. I love Mother's Day, I think it's my new favorite holiday. I slept in till 8:30-8:45 and the boys had made me a banner, and they gave me my gifts in bed (flowers, cards, a gift certificate to the spa... this is what Tim gets me for every single holiday) then, I went into the kitchen because Tim said he made coffee... but there was no coffee. Bceause my coffee pot broke. I don't know how or what the hell happened, it was fine on Saturday, then yesterday, it just wouldn't brew. It was turned on, according to the little green light, but it wasn't doing anything. We made 3 trips to Dunkin Donuts and 1 to Starbucks but now it's Monday, and I can't very well be dragging little kids around town just to fulfill my caffine addiction. So. I'm using a coffee press. A fucking coffee press. It makes 2 cups of coffee TOPS (if you use a big mug) and it doesn't keep it warm at ALL. It's bullshit.

I have to go get a new coffee maker. Tonight. I can't live another day like this.

Anyway, we met the in-laws for breakfast for Mom's Day, Tim's brother and his family were there, it was okay. Then we went to the Wildflower Preserve at Bowman's Hill, which was so nice and relaxing, we had lunch there and when we came home, both boys napped and woke up in fantabulous moods before we headed over to my parents for dinner.

And then, last night, Tim even watched The Sound of Music with me. And he let me sing at the top of my lungs without making any rude comments about how I should be in show-biz. Yesterday was a great day.

Tim does good on holidays. He doesn't always do so good on regular days. Maybe that's only because there's a lot more regular days?
