Music means so much to me. I don’t think I could go a day without listening to my music and belting out right alongside the artist. I sometimes pretend I am that musician and image what it would be like to get to sing for a living. I am a singer…I may not be famous or get paid for it…but, I am a singer. That’s what I wanted to be when I was a kid and…well…I still would love to be a singer. I am not the most eloquent writer and I have a very hard time explaining how I feel about things, but music…music has always been a way for me to explain how I feel about something or someone. That may be kind of lame…ha-ha…but It’s the truth. I would love to be music video producer as well as a singer, chef, salon owner, restaurant owner, musical writer, goat rancher, set designer…ha-ha…and so many more!!! I know…I know…I have a ton of things I want to achieve…maybe too many for a lifetime…I guess we will see what all I can accomplish!! I play a music video in my head every time I hear a song. No…not the actual music video…but my very own…the one I will produce someday when I am a producer, and sometimes, in life, I image everyone breaking out into song, like a musical! Ha-ha…Wouldn’t that be great!! Ha-ha…I am pretty lame aren’t I…oh well…I wanted to start these special post for you all to get to know me more personally…well this is a little piece of who I am.

I talked about the new Miranda Lambert CD last week and I have not stopped listening to it yet. But, one song has really caught my attention, “Airstream Song”. I love this song because I have been trying to talk my husband into buying and living in a travel trailer on a big piece of land since we got married. I really get overwhelmed sometimes with all the chores that come along with owning and possessing so many things. Wouldn’t it be awesome to just live simply…to only have the necessities in life? I love the idea of living in an Airstream…then we could enjoy this life so much more. Maybe that’s just me…but I almost have him…as soon as I graduate from grad school we plan on sealing our house. Whether we stay here in Lubbock or move on to a new town, we are going to sell our house and downsize. I am not sure if it will be to a travel trailer or just a smaller house, but smaller sounds awesome!!

Sometimes I wish I lived in an Airstream
Homemade curtains, lived just like a gypsy
Break a heart, roll out of town
‘Cause gypsies never get tied down

Sometimes I wish I lived on a mountain
Drank from a stream instead of a fountain
I’d stay there, top of the world
But I was born a red dirt girl

Unbridled or tethered and tied
The safety of the fence or the danger of the ride
I’ll always be unsatisfied

Sometimes I wish I lived by a pier
In a lighthouse with a chandelier
I’d watch everybody’s ships come in
And then I’d sail away with them

Unanchored in the storm
Or safely on the shore
If this is all I need, why do I want more

Sometimes I wish I lived in an airstream
Homemade curtains, lived just like a gypsy

I love this song…every time I listen to it I image John and I on a beautiful piece of land with a river running through it, a few goats wondering about, a couple horse grazing and a beautiful shiny Airstream with a big deck attached to the side lit up with white Christmas lights…can’t you just image it….ha-ha….WOW…when I write it out like that it really sounds pretty….um….trashy?!?! Ha-ha….let’s just call it simple!!! Let’s all try to live a little more simple…it just might help save the planet!!

Hey…how about an airstream community…ha-ha…anyone want in?
