New Snow Patrol Album and Girlfriend

As I was listening to the new snow patrol album, which I just love, I was thinking, this is a lot different than the last one. Which in my opinion is good because "A Hundred Million Suns" has some depth and production that I thought was slightly lacking on their last album. Anyway, after listening to this album, I researched what the band has been up to and besides our lovely Jonny Quinn getting married to the gorgeous Marianne Rokke, I also found out that Gary Lightbody is in love big time with the songstress shown above, Lisa Hannigan. She's a singer songwriter, plays a few instruments and has an equally lovely Irish Brogue so cheers to them. Anyway, it seems like another one bites the dust, but the good news is, if love makes Gary write better albums then I'm all for it!

Happy Belated Birthday!

Sorry I didn't post this yesterday. Hope you had a great day! The tapas was swell!

Happy Thursday!

Can't help smiling at this picture. :)

It's a big day for birthdays!

Today is Dakota's, Kaity's and my cousin Ben's birthdays! Happy Birthday to all! We should have a party and celebrate!

Gin Martini What?

Yup, all is well in Kansas! I might not come home tomorrow. But, we have successfully sampled a lot of beer, ate some Kansas City BBQ, toured exciting Manhattan, KS and enjoyed the best martini of my life! Yes, it was made with gin. I am in love with it. I hope to move here someday. I hope all is well in IL. See you all soon! Love, Carrie

Celebrating my birthday amongst royalty!

Hi all,
I wanted to let everyone know that we are planning a fun evening of musical entertainment at The Baton Lounge in the city for my birthday. We're going on Sunday October 26th, probably the 8:30pm show. They also have a special on Sundays so it's buy one get one free admission and I think there is a two drink minimum. I'm not 100% sure but I think admission is around $15 so it's not a bad deal with the Sunday special. So anyone who is interested in spending an evening with your closest friends and a bunch of drag queens, let me know so I can make reservations. Hope everyone is having a fabulous week!

Kansas City here I come!

I am off to Kansas to surprise Kaity for her birthday! I hope it stays a surprise!

Hearthrob and Political Activist?

So apparently Luke Perry spends his free time campaigning for the Obama Campaign by registering new voters in swing states. Who knew?! I guess I can forgive him for declining to make an appearence on the new 90210, maybe once Obama has claimed victory, Luke can put his focus back on his favorite zipcode...

Apple Picking

Apple picking excursion...this Sunday October 12th! Who is in? I am not sure where we are going yet either. So, let me know if you have any suggestions!

We are the Champions!

Well the good news is there were 150 people behind us as we crossed the finish line, the bad news is there were 150 people ahead of us. Still, I think we held our own in this years Wellness run and we got mini jamba juices and free piggy banks! Have a fabulous Monday morning!!

Ray LaMontagne
