Haphazard tour of my house

As I currently have four hours off from studying, interviewing and the like I thought I would take a little video trip around my house so peeps could take a look.

Gotta get this house on the interent

I need to start getting photos up of my little perfect house. I know I am in crazy school land, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't give continuous props to my house!

Right now we got a ton of stink bugs, and Will let me know that our house is stink bug mecca because I am the Queen of the stink bugs.

As I ponder the move to global financial standards..

Here is a moment at 59 Park Square
We got Will in the kitchen as usual being the best brother ever while I type away at something, or read incredibly bland journal articles.

Every detail

Every single detail of my home inspires me. My daddy really loves shiny silver metals, especially galvanized steel, so here are his masterful gutters.

More countdown

House count down begins

Studyland dreams

true love

2 week old Emmett is the object of my affection!

Kauffmans sport the blue and brown

Today was a terrific recording day with Seth Kauffman. I am truly understating how amazingly great it was. Soon enough you will hear my album and flip right out.

But enough about that. I wanted to draw the eye to the very specific and hip color palette that is adored and adopted in the Kauffman household.


Is corpses a word?

BBQ, corn pudding, the secret service, the Obamas and THE BEST DAY EVER!!

I don't know if I have ever been so happy as I was yesterday when I met Barack and Michelle Obama. I imagined how fun it would be to have every one know you and feel close to you and you could just buddy up with anyone!!

Truly, our little gang felt the love pouring out as we shared our little slice of America with our president and first lady.
I only wish I had said something intelligent, rather than blabber and interrupt their lunch.
So here is what I wish I had said, " I am so happy you cam to our little town for vacation. I think Asheville embodies the new economy and the loveliness of America. We Ashevillians are more often than not living within our means as we strive to add beautiful things to the world. We are more often than not artists and entrepreneurs. We are more often than not environmentalist and gardeners. We are more often than not, micro economic wunderkind. I want Asheville to be an example of a healthy happy America, well it already is."

The house that Daddy is still building

I went over to Chicken Hill today because I had to make final cabinetry decisions. I am so excited about my house and can't wait for every one of my lovely friends to sit in the kitchen with me, drinking espresso and reading different sections of the Wall Street Journal!

bunny drywall

watch out chicken hill, 59 park square is ready to hang drywall.

being a mountain girl

I did have to carry a cat on my hike yesterday: cats are pretty lazy. But a much needed walk up and over brown mountain made me feel very connected. And I remembered why I love living in these mountains.

I am gonna admit it

I want to be listening to the radio and hear my own songs. I always talk this anti- famous antagonistic chatter and mostly I am right there, but sometimes I just want to hear my own songs on the radio

almost kills me

Thankfully I take this exam tomorrow and go on with my life. I am looking forward to running and jumping into clear cool water.

the obvious things delight me

today is a tough one. I am feeling limited motivation to be a school superstar and I long to be making songs. I gotta be tough and keep running and running toward the goal.

It was a good time machine

I am back to blogging folks!
You may think this means I am less busy, but alas, it does not mean that. It means that I figured out how to blog from my phone!
Here are some images from last night to help tell the story of our debauchery...featuring JT, JDubbs, and this one.

can I move in yet?

notice the shiny roof and the brand new little windows! My house is coming along

Heartache

I miss writing songs.

The last song I wrote was about a gay penguin.

I know that once I finish most of this school nonsense I will sit on my porch with banji and write songs.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't ache the heart these days.

There is only one thing I love more than writing songs: sleeping.

I know I am suppose to be studying

Sometimes, while you are "studying" you like to find your own performances on the Internet and peruse them.

I think I can overhear someone saying something nice about our style in this video.

Have to say this is not my best singing, but we had super fun and Joti and T Bone Ramsey sound amazing!!

Thanks world,
I will see you on the other side of GMAT!!!




And then I watched this!!!!!

Oh sweet blog

I keep feeling anxious about neglecting my blog, and I thought the best thing to do was to explain to the few readers and to myself why I can't keep up with it at this very moment...

I gotta take the GMAT in a few weeks so every second I have goes to studying for that silly thing

I am in school again.

I have to go to work and make sure it all adds up

My daddy is building my house and all extra focus goes to that project

I am living in Cullowhee with mom and dad half of the time and that mountain is a technology void for me.

I got some musical shows I am really happy to participate in and want to work.

etc etc

I am not complaining at all. I am very very happy with all of these things that are happening, but I keep finding that blogging is last on the priority list.

The only thing that is hard is I miss all of the time I had for my musical life. I am doing all of this to get it back, but it doesn't make it any easier.

Please don't forget about me blog. I love you

I don't like traveling; I like being somewhere

As I sit here in this french hotel room, bumped from my flight into a chocolate eating, obsessive frenzy, I want to reflect on some India moments that made me realize something......I hate traveling, but I really like being in many beautiful and different places, so much so that I will always endure these bumped flights and long bus rides, strange transit hotels and a lot of waiting around to get to places with people who make me laugh, strange ancient stories and smells that bring back lost memories. If only we had "burning trash" smell in America.

Here are some very funny buddies on the bus. Yup, Terry is fake sleeping to entertain me.

Will and I got invited to a 12 days old party in Arangaon Village where we got to hold a tiny tiny sleepy baby
Pia and Mehera hold the tiny one too!! Lots of snuggling.
Here is a video of Pia in her dad's pullover

I am obsessed with Jessie and Flint's cement tiles

Thank the lord above I got to spend some time with my brother, we honestly had such a hilarious time together in India, a great christmas and new year!!! My brother is really a true buddy.

Will gets spooked by crazy cow on our afternoon walk

Refreshing road side soda
We had such a good lunch at Leopold's (Yeah Bombay!!)

and we found the children's traffic training school
How can you resist foggy morning Mumbai?




Goat Pile!
Bye bye India and brother
