Happy oogledy boogledy Friday the 13th! Hope all is going well out there for y'all out there. My mother is convinced that the name of the day was the reason her poor car's transmission blew up all over the road and and then our sushi order did the wacky... I myself seem to have succumbed to the nasty no good cold that has been plaguing the nation. Boo sniffly hoo! Gonna go cuddle up with a remote control and my little doggy in my big warm bed and dream of summer and Mmmmmm wearing summer clothes...

Greetings lovelies. I am now officially HOME after a long bout of here-there-and-everywhereness. I have lots and lots of things I wanna to do here so I am forcing myself into some brand of winter hibernation for a while. Gonna practice with the clawhammer banjo instructional videotapes and start searching out for some Flamenco guitar lessons!!! (Anyone know a supremely divine teacher?) Also gonna finish up the elaborate website Photo Gallery experience and have all links up and running ASAP. Been adding lots of other things to the website as well and now you can BUY MY NEW CD ONLINE! Wahoooo! For your glorious shopping pleasure you can now purchase my new CD "ROOT, HEART & CROWN" in either Canadian or American funds with you credit card on an extraordinarily secure online server. Go Team!

Cause tommorrow it's back to being sweet little Kristin...

It is always so very beautiful here I can hardly believe it. I have been getting lots of sleep and having an attempt-at vacation. I'm trying to relax but there is so much rushing around the brain and things to do and songs to write and packages to mail off to yonder land... I have been hiking up to the Hazel River and getting at least a wee bit of excellent exercise. My friend Jenny's neighbour Eric taught us how to blow glass with a big flamey furnace and big metal poles and we made with the blowing and stirring of molten liquid... very cool. I made a little mangled shot glass. photos coming soon!!!. In other news, I sent off a promotional package to the music editor of Buffy the other day... Leaving for Vermont tomorrow with the cows and the green rolly hills and the pretty red barns.

Too bad it's supposed to hurricane all day.

Hey y'all. I've been back in Ontario for about three weeks now (since my big ol drive home from BC) I've been keeping so incredibly busy with working and organizing and trying to promote this new album and sitting at the computer all crazy-eyed fully revamping my whole entire website from head to toe (all by my wee self... I'm so proud.) But now it's time to hop in my little van and drive drive drive to Virginia. Goin' to visit my dear friend Jenny in her converted motel Shenandoah land... Can't wait. We're gonna have fun and eat lots of veggie corn dogs and good for you health food diet root beer (yes it even DOES exist) I'm also going to do that thing musicians get to do every once in a while (when they have any time at all) called PRACTICING. SOooooo excited. And maybe even do some new writing. I gots lots brewing up... let me tell ya.

I'll give you a full report soon.

love, k
