Orlando Calling

Last weekend Dan and I went to a music festival in town called Orlando Calling.  This is the first year for this music fest and there was a great line-up that Dan and I enjoyed for two days!  Some great bands we saw on Saturday were the Ettes, Pete Yorn, The Pixies, The Racontuers and The Killers.  It was a long day but the weather was beautiful and I made sure to bring a blanket so I was able to sit and relax at most of the shows.  Sunday we decided to make it a shorter day since my feet were still a bit achey.  I told Dan that some chocolate chip pancakes would really make my day better so we headed off to IHOP for a delicious breakfast to start our day off right!  We saw some more great shows on Sunday:  Michelle Branch, Buddy Guy, Kid Rock, and my guily pleasure Chris Isaak!  We missed seeing Bob Seger because it was past my bedtime, boo.

So, let me get back to Chris Isaak.  I saw a show of his once in Chicago and the House of Blues and I've been a fan of his since.  He is very entertaining, plays some great music, and is very easy on the eyes!  I took a boatload of pictures of him, but I will spare everyone and share just a few of my favorites.



The apparel is always FLASHY!



Never a dull suit!

 The first picture is his only wardrobe change.  I had mentioned it to Dan hoping he would put on what I refer to as his "Disco Ball" Suit.  Loved it!  We had a great time at the festival.  We hope to go again next year!

Time continues to fly by, I can't believe that this week is Thanksgiving!  Which means Christmas is just around the corner.  I've been enjoying doing some early shopping on-line.  I don't plan on going to any malls if I can help it.  Nothing beats sitting in your PJ's, drinking some hot tea, and browsing the internet for the next great gift.  The other great thing is all the reviews you get to read about the product before you buy it. 

All of this also means my parents will be in town soon and we're very excited to see them!  We haven't seen each other since early September and my body has changed a lot.  We're are also going to start setting up the nursery putting furniture together and painting and decorating the walls.  So excited to see how everything turns out.

As I mentioned, my body is changing and I don't just mean the expanding waitline.  I have more energy these days, so I'm trying to clean up and organize as much as possible.  Dan tells me I'm "nesting".  I guess he may be right.  I went through our filing cabinet and thinned it out sending my shredder into shock.  It only stopped working due to overheating one time.  Also, my hair is thicker and shinier these days, thank you prenatal vitamins!  My hair dresser noticed right away, always nice to hear for once that my hair is not dry and damaged.  Something else is changing, a little bit funny, my belly button is looking less deep and a lot more shallow.  I'm sure it wont be long until it's popped out like a cooked turkey!

Until next time, I'm sure our little turkey can't wait for all the good food coming her way this week!

Love,
Jess, Dan and baby girl York
