I clean up nice, if I do say so myself! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get out of the house and see @ironiclyawesomename play a show, so it was a lot of fun to put in some make and a fun outfit before heading out with the kids to see their daddy make some noise! 2 beers in I’m giddy, and we’re getting ready to introduce the kids to one of NJ’s finest traditions, the 24 hour diner ❤️ #urbanegypsy #momsofinstagram #bandwife https://www.instagram.com/p/CeFYFTmtRnd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I never want to say I’m feeling “blessed” because it honestly feels like an understatement. - I’m FAR FAR beyond blessed. Today, I worked a job where I was encouraged to take care of ME, first. I worked from home, so I didn’t have to get out of my pjs (literally still sitting in them...😁) And didn’t even have to leave my Lola pup.❤️ Chads still on the road until tomorrow, so I’m able to drop everything & pick up the phone ANY time it rings from him😍 (his tour schedule is usually CRAY so talking for 2 seconds is HUGE) - I used to work jobs that sucked the life out of me. I wasn’t sleeping. I wasn’t eating well. I wasn’t taking care of me, ever. I used to work jobs where I didn’t even have the option of having a dog, because the poor thing would’ve been left all day long😢 I used to work jobs where breaks were for peeing ONLY & when you took anything longer than 2 minutes, people got mad at you.😳 - But this “work” I get to do everyday NOW, gives me purpose, and its fueled by passion.🌸 So It’s nice to not have any “Sunday scaries” anymore.

Guys, my husband is a band teacher and we are cataloging the instruments. And I keep spraying the extra mouth pieces when he isn't looking because I like how this stuff smells.

For the fic title ask thing: Chilli Dogs, Nategaar

I went ahead and straight up wrote this fic based on @bjornkram​‘s beautiful, beautiful art and concept (Nathan and Skwisgaar trying to find a restaurant that will let them bring their pets into their outdoor seating area) and also one of my favorite hot dog restaurants in the world. 

Nathan studied the menu of Da Dawg Houz with a dissatisfied groan. Under the patio’s bright orange canopy patrons munched on massive hot dogs, smothered in a cornucopia of toppings and served in colorful plastic dog dishes. Behind the counter, the hostess had a hushed, tense conversation with her manager, both occasionally glancing back at the entrance where he and Skwisgaar waited. Nathan’s gator sunned contentedly at his feet. Skwisgaar’s dog performed a full-body shake and trotted happily away from the unfathomable shit she’d dropped in the sidewalk flowerbed.

“What’s de problems?” Skwisgaar asked, rearranging the plants with the toe of his boot to hide the evidence. “Dis de foirst place what ams mights lets us brings dem insides.”

“I know,” Nathan said.

“So why you makes dat face?”

“What face?”

“De face dat says we abouts to walks 12 more blocks to finds some other place to eats.” His dog pressed her face into his thigh and he palmed her head like a basketball. Her tail buffed furiously against the cement. “I’s hungry. If dey lets us ins we gots to eat heres.”

“Yeah, but…”

“But whats?”

Nathan looked at Skwisgaar, then at his dog, then at his gator. He gestured so his cupped hands hovered on either side of his head.

“Gu~uys,” he said in the sing-song lilt he always used with them, “earmuffs.”

The animals did nothing.

“Skwisgaar,” Nathan whispered, sliding his hand on the small of Skwisgaar’s back to draw him closer, “this is a hot dog restaurant.”

Skwisgaar exhaled through his teeth. “Nathan, I don’ts has de emotional bandwifs to re-litigates de hot dog debates—“

“No, it’s not that.” He pushed his lips against the shell of Skwisgaar’s ear. “What if they’re offended?”

Skwisgaar didn’t answer.

“You know and I know hot dogs aren’t made of dogs, probably,” Nathan continued. Skwisgaar twisted his neck so they were eye to eye. “But what if they don’t know that?”

Skwisgaar’s expression, curdled with annoyance for the last half hour, softened. A goofy, warm smile spread across his lips, and before Nathan could ask why, Skwisgaar leaned in and kissed him. Aside from some occasional furtive hard-holding, the two were not prone to public displays of affection. Mildly repulsed by the concept, one could say. But the kiss was so soft, so earnest, so unexpected, that Nathan lost himself in it.

The whump of weight on his back and the awkward jerk of Skwisgaar’s body returned him to the moment. Skwisgaar’s dog had lunged up and hooked her paws over Skwisgaar’s forearm. Nathan’s gator had clambered up his spine, her breath hot on his cheek as her snout pointed upward and open to the sky. Both their tails swished with manic insistence.

The manager returned.

“Thanks for waiting,” she said, eying the animals with placid wariness. “I understand these are………….service animals.”

Nathan unlatched the gator’s claws from the meat of his shoulder. “Well, if by service you mean provides a level of love and affection and tenderness no human being is capable of then yeah these are service animals.”

“Mine ams for anxiety,” Skwisgaar said, withdrawing a notarized certificate from his back pocket. The manager nodded.

“Alright! We’ve got a table set up right over here, please follow me!”

They cut a strange line through the dining area, the dog and gator eagerly skittering passed the slack-jawed patrons hunched at picnic tables. The manager glimpsed over her shoulder with a Manager smile.

“What’s your pet’s name?” She asked Nathan.

“Chompy. It’s short for Chain Chomp.”

“Aw, that’s so cute! Is she friendly?”

“No.”

The plastic menus cracked in the manager’s tight grip. “Ooooooooookay! Keep her leashed, please!”

“We’ll see.”

[semiautomatictruths]

And he's off again... this time with all my truth and some trust...

“Tell me when you fuck up, don’t let me have to question it out of you. I am too understanding, too forgiving and far too open-minded to be lied to, to be given half truths and edited versions of your stories. Tell me everything. What and who you do. I am not scared of losing you to another woman. Because taking my place-- being your wife... being the woman in your life means being 100% supportive of you. Well, more like 90% supportive and 10% turning a blind eye. And I'm not convinced you'll find another woman like that easily. What I am scared of, is losing you to your career. That you'd wake up one day and think a wife does not fit into this life you want to live. That is a lot more likely, so that is what scares me.”

jimi hendrix, janis joplin and the tragically hip :)

Hello stranger :)

Jimi Hendrix: Name 8 things that make you happy

ok: I guess I’ll start from being cliche and say you 💗 (honestly don;t know if I used the cliche phrase in a right context but I like it recently ok?) and also good night sleep, Circa Waves cause of course they just took over my life, music and bands in general, going to gigs, seing my friends being successful and/or doing well, meeting people that are kind with no hidden purpose, and actually finding THAT one song that is going to make you fall in love with the whole band forever damn it was long

Janis Joplin: In your opinion, what was the greatest time or era for music?

I would say the 70s cause it is when so many generes of music got developed and so so so many amazing bands were creating their music

The Tragically Hip: 6 things you want to accomplish

ooof Sandra like this stuff is hard? I want to start and finish my PhD and stay sane, I want to stay in the uk for some time like, brexit is coming so it would be some kind of accomplishment, I don’t want to say that I want to be #bandwife but kinda want to, but honestly having my own family is on my list, maybe create a real band and be the lead guitarist there?, overall stay cool and amazing till I die. Honestly I don;t even know if any of those count as accomplishments? I’ll leave it as it is

And he’s BACK HOME!!!!🏡 Spent the morning slooow with him cause he’s been running ALL over the place like a mad-man AND fighting some sickness, basically since we went home to Nash for Christmas.😢 (I forced him to sleep in & drink coffee while reading Bc that’s what I do every morning #perksofcoachlife & boy does it make you feel at peace😇) - I’d say he’s still looking a little crazy but nothing TOO far from the norm😜 (still taking my request for a selfie together to the EXTREME per usual) - his words “marriages who selfie together-STAY together” - Who thinks that’s true??😂🙈 . . . . . #teamwholehearted #beating50percent #leadwithlove #marriagequotes #marriagerocks #teamwork #specialsoneone #lifeisgreat #thislove #loveofmylife #lifeonyourterms #cultivatewhatmatters #createcultivate #authenticlovemag #livethemoment #tourlifestyle #lifeontheroad #bandwife (at Culpeper County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsWE0zKhcpz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11al1lksc6lbh

It was so awesome to be able to have Canal Days again at @meridianbeach_alberta ! The weekend was packed with The Amazing Race, the Canal Days Market, show & shine, a community bbq, silent & live auctions, and the When Pigs Fly Dance. We had a few band members that couldn’t make it but @nicolekuchle ,Daniel Dicaire and @terrykamps1 came to the rescue and the When Pigs Fly show was saved! It was so hot but so fun and yesterday I slept all evening and then woke up just in time for bed. Definitely the mark of a great weekend! #togetheragain #whenpigsfly #lovewherewelive #friends #bandwife https://instagr.am/p/ChSL0KRLGR9/
