2014 // In Music

2014 was a slow year in music for me, but when I looked back over the year, I remember a lot of albums I had on repeat throughout the spring and summer. Most of you know that my taste in music is “90s bands you think had 1 hit but have 15 albums and maybe switched genres and make one or two solo albums” such as Hootie & the Blowfish, Hanson (Taylor joined another band for a minute), Josh Kelley, and Train. I also love most pop music, singer/songwriters, and have a soft spot for quick lyrics and Christian rock.

I listened to Ed’s X on repeat pretty much all year round, because so many of the songs are so fun – and I learned all the words to Don’t. Jesse McCartney’s album kept me going during the 10k run in December, and keep me dancing on my 30 mile commute. Obviously despite Taylor not being on Spotify I listened to her tunes over and over and over in the kitchen. Needtobreathe was for photo editing, and Maroon 5 was generally rallying music – except Leaving California which just pulls at my heart strings. Marc’s Hurricane Heart on his newest album just makes me cry no matter what, and everything about Jason’s Back to the Earth makes me smile wide.

Here are the albums I loved this year along with the tracks that I wore out on my CDs (you think I’m joking…)

This is the view from the beach last weekend. There is sand in every bag that’s been in my car in the past two weeks. There is probably sand in my bed, on my floors, in the cracks of tiles in my kitchen. And I love it.

This is the iced coffee I’ve been sipping for the past three weeks. This week we’ve had no marine layer, no June Gloom, just sun as far as you can see until eight forty five each night.

This is the wrap I got from Cafe Gratitude this week. It was called, “I AM HAPPY” and I was and I am. Becca said it was the best food she’d ever had, and I must say between the company and the food and the warmth of the restaurant, it was definitely on top of my list.

This is a list of the vegetables currently in my house. I love summer, I love stone fruit season, I love avocados that are five for two dollars, and I love the farmer’s market.

This CD. On repeat. You’d better watch it, I think that girl’s insane…

This week has flown by and we’ve found ourselves comfortable in the middle, which I love.

Last night Jeff and I went on a five mile walk to the end of fountain and back, which for those of you in LA ends at La Cienega.

Along the way we passed lots of apartments for rent, all of which were astronomically out of our price range, but it was still fun to see what’s out there.

Then we had chicken quesadillas with green chiles and and watched Modern Family and an episode of Parks and Rec in which Leslie Knope once again plays my hero. All was right in the world.

Tonight, I head into the trenches of fondant design with a one Ms. Becca, and hope that the black colored fondant doesn’t get the best of me as my nails are just about back to normal.

In other news, please check out the Hunger Games soundtrack, as it’s rocking my world right now. It’s on Spotify and I’m sure YouTube. Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, Civil Wars, you slay me.
