And every time something fun happens, I say,"I gotta put that in my blog." And then I never do. SOOOO....my friend and fellow musician was touring through Texas a couple months back and suggested I post blogs in a similar fashion to her. And now I'm gonna do it. She posts the five highlights of her day, or few days.....a Carrie Elkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15786359517055564765noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930013810715747071.post-11683914302740145212008-04-08T10:44:00.000-05:002008-12-11T21:02:58.501-06:00Ahhhh...the mid-west.I love the mid-west. I mean, really. I can't say enough about it.

It's been eventful thus far. We left Austin last Tuesday and headed to Lubbock. Driving through west Texas might not be the most exciting thing ever, but we managed to entertain ourselves by counting dead skunks for a good four hours. I know, it sounds like a dumb game, but you wouldn't believe how many we counted.....Carrie Elkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15786359517055564765noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930013810715747071.post-64639395234045297362008-01-18T12:32:00.000-06:002008-01-18T12:47:08.544-06:00The new Blog.....Well, here I am in blog world. It's exciting, really. I spent a good part of my morning writing a little piece for nessmp3, an independent music site coming out of the UK.
