More fun chairs! – Mas sillas entretenidas!
Ok so it’s not quite as innovative or exciting as Javier’s cool new chair, but since we’re on the subject… When I moved into my apartment 4 years ago before Javi and I were married, I bought a disgusting round table from the Salvation Army that was only good because it was small and…

2011 Tennessee State Fair!!

Pontooning on Percy Priest! – Paseando en bote en el lago!
Right now I’m sitting at Bongo Java – I feel like I’ve gone back in time because this is where I spent many many hours when I was a student at Belmont. I’m currently surrounded by a group of students studying for their…old testament exam I think. There are some parts about college I don’t…

Playing at Puckett’s! (v.2)
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to play at Puckett’s in Leiper’s Fork, TN for the second time! It’s my favorite venue I’ve played…probably ever…and we had a killer time that Saturday night. The first time we played there it was just unbearably hot but the second time it was much cooler…

gooood morning! (Warning: NOT for arachnophobes / no apto para ARACNOFOBICOS)
After dropping Javi off at work this morning I parked my car in our driveway with my mind focused on the strong coffee I was about to brew. Then I saw this guy on the side of our house. I’m awake now…!! Despues de dejar a Javier en su trabajo esta manana, estacione el auto…

Ayer Javi escribio sobre nuestro nuevo porch cerrado con malla, si esta listo!! esta listo!! Asi que ahora viene la parte donde lo podemos disfrutar! As I mentioned in my…

Happy Labor Day!
Can’t believe we forgot to post about this…since we are both at home today enjoying the holiday (well, Vanderbilt doesn’t have the day off but I don’t have classes today so I get to enjoy the day at home with Javi). So here are a couple of my favorite songs that are good for the…

Los Rodriguez Sunday
Back in July we posted about our typical Sunday, which usually includes at least one meal with my parents and some good quality hang out time after a crazy week. Yes, our weeks are always crazy. This week was especially off-the-charts busy and exhausting, thanks to Choripan’s 3 trips to the vet and the sleep…

Harry Potter – long overdue
My heart is still racing and I’m still recovering from about 10 minutes of sheer panic when my computer wouldn’t turn on this morning. I went into the bedroom and stood next to Javi and I think he knows what this means by now because only 2 months ago one of my memory cards was…

Las Vegas – the meadows
The meadows? Really? This morning before I started this post I started thinking about the word “vegas” because we always say “vegas baby!” and I thought it’d be really funny if Vegas meant something in Spanish that just wouldn’t translate well when you say obnoxious things like “vegas, baby!” and “what happens in vegas stays…

Thanks, y’all!!
We wanted to dedicate a quick post to everyone who has been reading our blog since its inception on July 16, 2011. I realize it’s only been a little over a month so it might be premature to start calling folks ‘dedicated’ readers, but we’d like to think there’s a steady stream of readers out…

Vegas Bound
As much as I would LOVE to say that I’m thrilled to be on my way to Vegas right now, the fact is I’m exhausted and just positively dreading flying alone. This is my first solo-flying experience since my ability to fly worry-free got all screwed up when a bolt of lightning struck a plane…

This time next week… / La proxima semana…..
Summer is almost over. This time next week I’ll be on a plane home from Las Vegas (so the posts are about to get REALLY entertaining) where the ASA conference is taking place this year (ok maybe they won’t be that entertaining…) and on Wednesday I have my first class. Yesterday I went into our…

You know you are driving through Indiana when…
You know you are driving through Indiana when writing another blog post from your smartphone seems like great fun. We are on our return trip back to nashville, except this time there isn’t an overnight stop in Louisville to break up the drive. We won’t make it back in time to collect our pups from…

Back in Chicago
So to make up for yesterday’s fairly low-key post I’d like to present a few fun photos I got in the car on the drive and this afternoon when we were walking through Chicago to meet Ian and Andrea for dinner. Para compensar por el post de ayer, aqui van algunas fotos muy entretenidas que…

Road Trip!
At the moment I’m sitting in the passengers seat of our little cluttered black Yaris while Javi is struggling to find a comfortable spot in the drivers seat – he isn’t really built for compact cars but he always wants to be the one driving so he’s gotta deal til the day we can afford…

So before I get into this, let me explain that I was a bridesmaid (so fun!), the wedding photographer, and I sang Ave Maria during the ceremony and…

Adventures in Chicago – Aventuras en Chicago
Javi and I are currently sprawled out on the sofa recovering from a crazy weekend (well, for me it’s been 10 days!) in Chicago. I posted last week about my weekend in Wisconsin, after which I rode back to Chicago with my friends and stayed at my brother’s apartment for a few days with my…

Wisconsin for a wedding
So for the last few days, I (Leslie) have been out of town in Chicago, then Madison, WI and now back to Chicago to attend two of the three most important weddings for me this year – my former roommate Missy’s wedding in Madison and my brother’s wedding in Chicago (the third is my cousins…

Singing at Puckett’s in Leipers Fork, TN
Happy Monday everyone! I’m still feeling a little worn out from the weekend (it started on Thursday night with the midnight showing of Harry Potter, which I’ll post about soon, then Friday night shooting a rehearsal dinner and Saturday night shooting a wedding, then last night I played a show with my dad and other…
