Oh man. This might just be the biggest stretch of time off I’ve taken from here. And, I hate that, sort of. I love looking back and reading over my old posts. It’s sort of my only way to keep track of my days, the boys, our adventures.
These days nearly everything in my life has taken a back seat to the all consuming project that’s been in my lap and on my mind: the Goldfinch cd. Recording it was the culmination of so many long years and days and nights of experiences, so much work, so much heart break and history, so much love. And, then, it sat. Needing editing, mixing, tweaking, mastering. The days turned into weeks and months and I was feeling kind of crazy. It’s sort of like having a baby, I guess. In the process I’ve had to come to terms with the things in my life I’ve had to let go of. I just can’t do it all: momming, wifing, friending, banding… At least not all well. But, this is a cycle that will, I think, come back around and I will again be back in balance. It seems to go that way for me.
I miss my friends. I miss blogging. I am trying to keep up with my kids and have time to spend with my husband. I love all of these great people in my life. It seems corny to say, but, my record is being released on Saturday and I love it: my creative baby. I hope each of you can hear it. We are playing this Saturday at the New Frontier in Tacoma with David Bazan for the record release party.
