Labor Day!

Well, it's already time for our first little break at school. I have a feeling this semester is going to fly by. Since the first day of school it seems like the days have been zooming by, and it's nice to have a relaxing labor day weekend.

My whole family came into town celebrating with me this weekend! We have been having a blast. Our time together has revolved around: food, games, finger painting, being completely and utterly entertained (by the four and six year old boys),napping, and of course laughing.

Here in West Texas it hasn't rained for so long. It has been one of the worst droughts they have ever seen....until today. We had a stormy night, with much needed rain, and it brought the temperature into the high 50's. It has felt like Fall all day!

While my brother has been prematurely wearing a heavy knit sweater, he found in my Grandfather's closet, I have been pondering my Fall wardrobe all day! Here are some wish list items I'm thinking I will incorporate this season:





Have a great Labor Day! Don't forget tomorrow is the first PageView show on 91.5 KWLD at 2 p.m.

What I'm Currently Listening To:

I have been putting my playlist together for my first radio show this coming Monday! I can't wait to share new music with you all, and hopefully you will tweet and send me new music to share.

Today the only thing that is motivating me to get my work done is Brandi Carlile. If you have not heard of her you are in for a treat! Her voice has this raspy tone to it, complimented by an effortless sound of pure perfection...it's almost sickening. Not only is that voice one to be lusted after, but her lyrics and actual music is adorable!

Give her a chance. Happy Thursday!
