Just finished a tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame. And yes, I spent the whole time looking for Keith Urban’s section. Duh.

A bubbly woman at the front desk here at our condo one mile from the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, just called and asked if I wanted to discuss our timeshare points. I’m supposed to be putting on makeup, curling my hair, and changing my clothes right now, all within the next 20 minutes. […]

The husband and I are killing time until we meet the producer, vocalist, and an actress (who is playing me…w-what?) for the video shoot at SoundCheck this afternoon. We are admiring the 50,000 plants here at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, taking way too many bad selfies—no hair and makeup this morning (me, not […]

I just got my first fan gift—$20 in my Venmo account—with a note saying, “A special dessert for your special trip.” Methinks there is a Häagen-Dazs in my near future. We know how I feel about that delicious stuff. Tomorrow morning at 8:30, the (Grammy award-winning) violinist is meeting us at the recording studio. Tomorrow afternoon, the vocalist […]

Recorded my song “I Am Broken” today in Nashville, Tennessee, and I am beside myself with joy. What a surreal day. I’m not sure l can return to normal life. And, I only cried twice.

My husband and I are on our way to the recording studio to record “I Am Broken,” but first, a little stop at the Grand Ole Opry (which happens to be one mile from our condo).

I am leaving for Nashville in two days to have my song recorded and a music video made. I’m typing the words, but I can hardly believe them. Several weeks ago, my husband and I were talking about the whole experience to come: Me: “You realize that once this is all said and done, I might only […]

I booked tickets for Nashville today. The producer has asked me twice now if I would like to sing backup vocals. Uh…well…gulp. Then again, if he gets Keith-freaking-Urban to sing into that microphone with me, I’d consider it. Might as well dream big, eh?  

Buying new bras is right up there for me in the same category as having a root canal. I drove down to Nordstrom yesterday to meet the fitter, Laurie. The last time I did this was ten years ago when I was getting fitted not only for a new bra, but also for a new […]

I had a fun little texting conversation yesterday with my producer down in Nashville, the one I’m going to go see in September. Me: “Hi, Producer. I finally posted my good news on Facebook. If you ever see anything inappropriate that I post, please call me on it. Like, maybe I shouldn’t have called Keith Urban […]
