lights...why must they burn out so soon?

Can't we love people so much that they can't imagine taking their own lives? Isn't there a way to combat the sadness? Where are our friends? Are we too busy to really notice when someone is dying? My heart is broken today for all of the people that have lost loved ones to suicide. My love goes out to you...may you feel comfort somehow...L.L. i know you are shining like you were meant to...

today i need chili.

is that how you spell chili? am i bored? i like the weather, but i hate this tickle in my throat. i am blaming the weather. i can't figure out what i'm supposed to be figuring out today. im super happy that it's friday...im tired of thinking of this week. there is so much to do. I have to pee..sorry for the short blog. I'll say something better when my brain starts working........
love and light...ness..

JITTERY COFFEE ARMS....

isn't it freaky weird when u get all shaky from too much coffee. that cannot be good for me.
how about those vma's last night.>>>!???!???!?!? KUDOS to lil' miss taylor swift for her big win!! and why on earth didn't someone kick KANYE'S ASSSSSSSSSS?!??!?!???
what in the world>?!?!??!??!??!?!? he should SURELY be banned. I mean, seriously?! who taught that dude how to be? OBVIOUSLY noone.

moving on....

i LOVED LADY GAGA!!! ECCENTRIC as she is! I too sometimes want to cover my face with red lace...and/or climb into a tree and snag a beautiful birds nest, spray paint it white, and create a frame for my face. oh the artistry!

i am so thankful to beyonce for being fantastic and loving. she deserves all of the awards that she can get.

i am now running through my schedule with my new management. how exciting is it to have new management! well, i'll tell you...ITS EXCITING!

til i think of more nonsense to spill from my brain.........i must sign off!!!!!

love and more coffee --S*

how many times can comcast be messed up

when i hit the ON DEMAND button. i just want to watch a movie for crying out loud!!!!! how hard does this REALLY have to be!!!?????!!!!!??? i swear.
i think it's time to start writing in a journal again. you know, does it ever strike you as sad that we don't really hand write a lot of things anymore??! I mean, the way i see it is...i might forget how to write!!!!
so, i went to this birthday party last night out in the woods. it was a great little house..in the woods. i mean, i would be terrified to live out in the woods..down a long and winding gravel road.....across a small stream....with no bridge....in the woods. i LOVE the woods. it's just a bit freaky to think of living out there....my question is.....how did the property owners ever even FIND that property?!?! hmmmm.....i guess you had to be there. there may or may not have been some peeing going on in the woods....i think that's funny.....it wasn't me!
joe pesci is funny too. such a small dude. i just love him! you know he acts the same in real life as he does in Casino.
i really wanted Glee to be a great show. not sure that it is. I tried watching...i had to change the channel. i mean..HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO NO POINT?! there should be a show called SHOW CHOIR. that's something i can get into. heeheehee...go ATTACHE'!
i love holidays. i also love traveling. i think the next stop is L.A.~! we are working on a show date out there. So, if i have any Californians that are interested in coming to a show of mine...out in good ol L.A......hollah at a sista......it's probably gonna be at the end of October. Now DOESNT THAT SOUND FUN! yes...is my answer.
i'm getting antsy for the show this weekend in good ol' CASHVILLE. Doors are at 8. Show starts at 9 with Cade Doyle..then Philip Lassiter....then ME! I hit the stage at about 10. Maybe 10:15...but NO LATER !!! so, if you're in the area.....LET ME SEE YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!! THE DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2009
THE TIME: 9-11p.m.
THE PLACE: THE MERCY LOUNGE, NASHVILLE, TN
THE SHOW: SHELLY FAIRCHILD & THE PEOPLE

i LOVE you all!!

peace and chicken grease --S*

SHOW SEPTEMBER 12TH @ MERCY LOUNGE

I do feel something...

have you ever had butterflies and you weren't sure why? I DO feel something...maybe it's a gut feeling and not butterflies. Hnmmmmmmm...it won't seem to leave me for very long. I wonder if there is something surprising around the corner??!??! Or maybe something about to come true that I've had in my mind for quite some time?????? OR maybe something WONDERFUL is about to happen that i've had taped up to my vision board! In any case...I think the bobcat in the backyard is a sign of something to come. I read some totem thing about how it stands for patience...and/or something HIDDEN that should be revealed...and/or the need to get rid of something in your life. HOW can it mean all of those things? Why not just one of them so that it's super clear. I have to admit that I'm not even sure why I care.
We are in the studio again this week! YIPEE!
Yes, I just said YIPEE!
I think I need some more java...and maybe a GOOD LONG WALK to the middle of somewhere...

Hello LIFE...you big JOKESTER! ===s*

I would be interested to know...

who let the cats OUT OF THE BAG!!!! The really really dirty, ugly ones that roam around town...biting people?!????!? I am not entirely SURE where they even come from. Hell, I believe. I am SURE that everyone in the world runs into these types of creatures..at some point. RIGHT>!>? Or is it just me??!? Hmmmmm....
I bought a crown with a big NUMBER 2 on it today! Along with a wand that has a HUGE STAR at the end of it! And it's all SPARKLY!!
And, I bought worms and crawly bugs...fake ones of course! Though this all seems SUPER random.....I have to tell you they are for a special small boy and small girl in my life that i call "Sir Clyne" and "Miss D". They will be turning 2 & 3 this month and I am OBVIOUSLY super excited to be helping PARTY PLAN!!!! If you only knew how absolutely PRECIOUS these little small people are!~ I know, I know....we all think that when they belong to our families....HOW WONDERFUL it is! Small bugs and worms and princess crowns!!!!
If only everyone could be so innocent and pure!
Tah Tah!!!! =====S*

"POOP IN HIS HAND{"

THERE ARE TOO MANY REALITY SHOWS. AND TOO MANY GUM FLAVORS. AND TOO MANY KINDS OF POTATO CHIPS. DON'T U THINK?? I GET SO CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN AND WHY DID IT ALL BECOME SO MUCH!???????!??!?!!? IT JUST SIMPLY BOMBARDS MY SENSES!!!!! I KEEP PHONE TAGGING WITH MY SISTER...WHY DOES THAT HAPPEN??!??! MY DOG IS SITTING AT THE END OF THE COUCH....SHE'S BEEN SO ANGRY THAT THE RACCOONS ARE TAKING OVER HER BACK DECK. NOT HAPPY, I TELL YOU..NOT HAPPY! I HAD TO GO ALL "DOG WHISPERER" ON HER..SHE LOOKS AT ME LIKE IM CRAZY..BUT. I'LL TELL YOU..IT WORKS!!!!! IT ALWAYS WORKS~~~!!@@@
I LOVE LOVE LOVE "WEEDS"...MARY LOUISE PARKER IS SO FAB AND SO IS "SHANE"...I JUST DIG THAT KID! ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE NEW WRITING IS PRETTY FLIPPIN CHEESE NIP.

do i know a good one when i see one?

i am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the newest edition to our family..AUDREY ELLE.....i don't think she realizes how much fun this family is! well....she will......
MzZippy isn't feeling well for some reason. Maybe it's because she CANNOT stop eating strange things that she finds on the ground. AND i say to myself..."self....why???"
did i mention that i have brick burn on my face?! it looks like someone punched me...or scratched me a lot....on one side...the right one to b exact....and yes, i fell..on the steps leading UP to my house...because Im BRILLIANT!!
boy, i need to see a good movie. im sick of this "no good movies" part of the summer that we're in. why does that happen?? Ok, so instead of complaining..i will pose the question..."CAN SOMEONE SUGGEST A REALLY FANTASTIC MOVIE FOR ME TO WATCH???" and, don't say "THE HANGOVER" cuz i saw it..and laughed til my face hurt.

Strep Throat

i haven't had it since i was a little girl. And it sux! well, I actually got a shot so it's not as irritating as it could be. i'm glad the sun is shining for a minute. except that I can't get out in it cuz my a** is SICK! glad i didn't have to do anything MAJOR yesterday or today...well, unless a spray tan is major. it kinda is....when you don't want skin cancer, yet you want to look tan.
what am i talking about>>???!??!?!
we leave for Maryland tomorrow. Tomorrow night we play for something that has to do with fire fighters (my daddy;s a fire fighter) and benefiting them..in Urbana. then on to play a private benefit in Echo Park on saturday night. next stop is new york CITY!!!!! we play on monday night with margaret durante..im actually only singing bgv's with her, but it's gon be good! she's country and her first single is one that me, stephony smith, and lisa carver wrote. it's called "PUT YOURSELF IN MY BLUES". anyways, she might let us sing a couple of our own and that's cool. we're at the BITTER END at 7 p.m. so, if you're around...come out!
my fingers are getting shaky. does that mean that i have fever?? i actually am carrying a small bit of fever around. again...sux
but it could be worse...so, no complaints...
i love hearing sweet music coming from the mouth of someone you love. that's my morning!!! peace and good vibin' --S*

is singing background vocals with brand new artist...Margaret Durante....May 11th at 7 PM - The Bitter End in NYC...30 minute set...COME ON OUT IF YOU CAN!!!

Wants everyone of my friends to think this thought at some point over the next few days... " nancy jarecki is healed". Thank you for your support...and for sending your thoughts and prayers in that direction...she needs it big time...

DEMAND SHELLY IN YOUR CITY!!!

View all Shelly Fairchild tour dates

Whoaoo Whoaoo Wha

The funny thing about background vocals is that ..well, nothing....
Ummm, I went to Urban Outfitters today and bought a shirt. It was cute and it has paint on the front of it. black paint.
so if you're there...I already bought it. So, put it down!
Shawna had "The Best Day Ever" and so we bought that shirt as well. So, don't buy that one..it's taken.
By the way...MzZippy got a "pupcake" for her BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! She freaked oUt! I meant to make the "U" caps...
IT had pink dog icing...though she is NOT REALLY a pink kinda gal...She didn't mind....well, in fact...she DID mind....I asked her to sit for her pupcake and she did. So, she minded. She's a good one. It's taken her 1 WHOLE YEAR to get that way! No, Im kidding...She's actually been pretty good for a while. She learns quickly..BBBUTT , she likes to work when "she" feels like it. TERRIERS!
ok, enough about the bitch.
hee hee
Oh, wait..She gets her hair stripped on Thursday! good GOD ..thank you!
Im supposed to be listening to a vocal as it runs past me..So, i gotta run..I got in trouble...POOOOPPPPOOOOOOO ON YOUUOUUO OUOUOUOUOUO JM!!! --S*

Shelly Fairchild @ 3rd and Lindsley on April 16th

CHECK OUT MY NEWEST BLOG, MAN...
theshellyfairchild.blogspot.com...........DO IT

who wants to see more blogs??????????????

in need of a GRRREAT SHAVE!~

yes, i confess. It's BAAAAAD. I mean, not my pits or anything like that...It's my LEGS~ They are ON MY LAST NERVE but i cannot make myself get up to shave them. So, TOMORROW will have to do. First thing in the a.m.
What in the world was up with Drew Barrymore's accent in "Grey Gardens". WEIRD.
i wish i could wear red lipstick. it looks strange on me and makes my teeth look yellow. AND MY TEETH ARENT YELLOW! so, i don't understand why it does that to me. plus, i think DREW B. gets sexier as she ages.
I think it's disturbing when it rains and my dog doesn't want to be dry. almost like she doesn't have sense enough to get outta the rain. although...we are sorda alike, i must say. i LOVE to get out in the rain..barefooted.
I'm going to NYC soon and I cannot WAIT!!!!!! i sure to LOVE that delicious CITY!
Lots of really cool things are going on right now and i CANT WAIT to tell everyone about them! YAY for RECORDS!~~~~~ kisses to A.L.L~ and YAY for shaved legs in the morning!~~~~
g'night world --S*

is about to get some good rest for a BIG HUGE WEEK!!!!!!!! GO EVERYONE!!!!!!!

is glad that it's raining! And i think it's funny that my dog doesn't think to get out of the rain when she has a deck with a huge awning to get under for protection. terriers?!?!?!?

Says dog people r SUPER OBNOXIOUS sometimes!!!!!! Aghhhhhhhhjhh agility courses suck!!!!!! When they r in your neighbors FRONT YARD!!!!!!!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen...

Shelly Video Blog #4

February 5th, 2009. Shelly, Shawna, and MzZippy. Shelly talks about her new blog and the recording of her new album!

Shelly Video Blog #3

im thinkin that i should start thinkin...

about all of the interesting things that i could be keeping you up to date on. like...ummm....well, first of all...studio. feb. 20. ...uhhhhh....mzzippy hates her new food...so, of course....I am changin it AGAIN. also...there is a coyote that is living in the woods behind my house and he took a dump in my yard yesterday while i was writing a song. so, i screamed at him and he ran away. but he left the dump, nonetheless and im afraid he wants to eat mzzippy. he didn't say that, but that's how coyote's roll. i think you should know that i bought a great new black hat today....which is one more addition to my obsessive collection of black hats that i tell myself i am going to wear in photo shoots that never happen. of course, there WILL be a new photo shoot coming up and i can't wait!! im sure you can't either since you've had to look at the same ones for some time now. i'm getting younger...no worries......
i am SO not paying attention to the rules on the 25 random things about me! ive gotten like 75 of them and i STILL haven't written my own...im trying to keep my secrets...hA! yeah, right...............................
i hope you like the new blogs that im about to start posting on theshellyfairchild.blogspot.com
rockalicious - OUT - ping! shelly*
