fun winning broken
I'm still in the Dixie Chicks; we haven't broken up... I love the Dixie Chicks; it's the most fun I've ever had in my life. It was like winning the lottery.
kind communicators
I'm not the greatest communicator. I kind of internalize a lot.
bugging-you ifs
If something or someone's really bugging you, just sit on it. Just sit on it.
depressing stress thinking
I just got back from Hawaii on Saturday, and it's so depressing how quickly all the stresses and the stressful energy of L.A. comes bombarding back. Everyone's in a rush, you're annoying everyone, get out of their way, everyone's most important than you are, has got somewhere more important to be - very draining town. But I still love it in many ways. I wouldn't leave California. I think it's a fantastic state, if you can't be in Hawaii all the time.
water energy looks
I see life everywhere I look. I get the energy off the water.
gay issues people
I'm definitely always drawn to the injustice of people who have been imprisoned for things they didn't do. But also lots about abortion and gay marriage. Civil issues are usually what I am drawn to.
mom survival-mode feelings
Usually right when I'm feeling it, right when it's happening, I always find I need to be in some sort of survival mode or mature mom mode, so it always seems to come later that I have the breakdown.
communication mean needs
I'm not the greatest communicator. I kind of internalize a lot. See, I just said I need to be quiet, but that's not the kind of communication I mean. I mean expressing myself or even standing up for myself. I can sometimes be very passive.
witty thoughtful people
It almost takes people by surprise when I'm not a big talker. Because I'm known as being sort of a loud mouth. I have a lot to say. But I try to be more thoughtful with my comments or reactions, unless it's something witty or hysterical that I just can't keep myself from blurting or tweeting!
dog school kids
I hike every day with my dog, after the kids are off to school. I tend to get wrapped up in all the things that need to be done during the day, so I really am strict about setting that time aside for myself and not scheduling anything before eleven, so I can get my hike in.
fits hair playing role short
The short hair fits my personality more. I think maybe, with long hair, it was a role - I was playing dress-up a bit.
pop
Growing up, I thought I was going to be Madonna. I wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to dance and sing.
connect music whatever
Music is a personal preference. Everyone's free to connect and like whatever they want.
hope
I hope I don't have a big ego. I try to keep that in check. But I am a prideful person, I will say.
