I was talking to a friend this last week and realized something-
I never have had a passion for something like Levi has his music. His is a deep passion. I enjoy doing most everything I have done, while I was doing it. I baby sat, worked in the office of a plumbing company, worked my way as a manager in Steve Madden shoes, worked my way into management for the clothing company Areopostale (all this by the time I was 19) worked at a daycare, at a cafe, then made my way into the restaurant business where I became a FOH restaurant manager and event coordinator and my last job before I was laid off was working in an office assisting in daily office blah, and warehouse stuff. It would seem to me, that every one of my jobs have brought me to the place I am now. I literally use all these skills I learned in what I do now. No, I may not literally sell apparel, but I do use the basic skills to sell that apparel when 'selling' or promoting Levi and when I get to talk to all the wonderful people I meet. I certainly had to learn people skills. I have always been an outspoken, blunt and honest to a fault person. You either love me or you don't. I still tend to want everyone to love me, but I have learned, I cannot win them all like I'd like. Having said all that, I am now having to use my (old) skills of accounting, as I am now our accountant ( :-| ) Not by choice, but we deal with the hand that we are given. I think that considering all the craziness that happens on a regular basis, we handle quite well…. Mainly because I have an oil for that lol
Anyway, trying to change things over and get them settled was quite the event, especially while driving from state to state on our way to our destination. Now Im learning or relearning rather, what all I need to be doing. I am always up for a challenge.
We had a great time seeing some of my family in Bloomington. We went to the Legion with my Grandma and enjoyed ourselves. They had a live band, that wasn't bad, and my children proceeded to fight over a girl to dance with. See, she was the only girl close to their age. She was clearly interested in Boston, but Rosington was on a mission. Boston went to get some air with Levi, Rosington saw the girl on the dance floor with her dad and walked right up and asked if he could cut in! It was the cutest thing! He proceeded to dance with her the next 7 songs! Boston came back not happy lol He's not one to really go out and ask a girl, he is more shy. But he was on a mission then and asked her if he could have the next dance. She was pleased! They danced a couple and then we had to leave. I got the look of death from the both of them. Ha! Oh well… clearly they had a good time.
We had a show in Indianapolis on Saturday so after I accepted my polar plunge challenge we were off.
Sorry to those who missed the epic polar plunge! It was pretty great!
I was grateful to Ms. Penny for putting together an oils class for me and grateful for all the ladies that came to listen. I hope they really do enjoy them as much as we have.
The show was amazing!! Levi has seriously been spot on the last several shows I have seen him play. Not saying he isn't normally, but he has such a spark to him. You can see the love he has for his music. I thoroughly enjoy seeing him play on all levels, but the intimate settings are the best. We are very lucky to have the support of all of the Levites and of those who have not found their way to our group yet. Its growing daily!! Last week he was #126 on the Radio Free Americana charts and this week his is at #50!! I am so proud and excited to see where this constantly winding road goes.
