Southern blooded, yankee raised, middle of the nation settled. What blessings and challenges lie in the horizon? I believe the unexamined life is not worth living. Here is where I make it worth it.

I have a confession, I have an obsession....
Adele, like most of us, has stolen my heart and I can't get enough. Neither can the CD player in my car, my computer at work, or my Iphone. Somehow, we were able to score tickets for her Ryman show in a few months (not somehow actually...it was Bruno magic). She hits all the essential elements for me. Sultry sound, R&B influence, reminiscent of the 60's style. I even adore her use of fake eyelashes and beehive-esk hair styles. I love loving her for just being her. Her talent is impeccable and she strikes me as a woman who is just doing what she does best. Not over produced, just genuine, my favorite kind of everything in this world.
Check out this incredible NPR "Tiny Desk Concert". Did I mention I also admire her sheepish humility too?
I arrived in Nashville after a flurry of actions that can be explained, at length, to anyone wanting to sit through the details. I am a Louisiana girl at heart, raised in small town Midwest, hardened a little in Chicago, and softened back up here. Nashville and I are soul mates. People call me Libby. I am a passionate person, open minded, optimistic glass half full kinda girl. I am outgoing, loud but fun, and caring. I like to be myself, like people who like me that way, I act goofy, am always smiling, love to sing and dance. I am independent and vivacious. I love big cities at night. I think giving is the greatest joy one can experience. My other joys include crawfish and music that surprises you in its sincerity. I love to laugh and go see movies. Want to impress me? Don't say ain't, make me laugh so hard I almost pee, and give really good hugs.
I can't believe you got Ryman tickets! I'm so jealous. They sold out so fast. If you have any to spare, my friends and I will gladly take them:)
ReplyDeleteBen had 2 screens up and he did it! He was actually going to propose the night of the concert and then it got postponed! He did it anyway.
