Carly Smithson blogs on MySpace! (Okay, it's a novel!)

Hey Y'all ,

So I guess you all know I'm a terrible blogger :-) Sorry that Its been a minute or 5 since ive been online here but truth is I have been so crazy busy working as hard as i can on my new life and career . I want to make you all very proud of me . For any of you who make it on to the show this year get ready for the ride of your life . My thoughts are on overdrive so much lately that i've managed to lock my keys in my car 3 times this week and forgotten where I parked for an hour . AAA must think im an idiot .

Firstly once again I have to say thank you to all of you for this experience . Because you believed in me my life has totally taken an awesome turn and I will be forever grateful . This summer on tour I met so many of our fans . Such friendly people with such dedication to Music . I want to make music forever and your love and support drives me to make sure that happens . I also got to meet and have dinner with the girls at carlysangels.net . They are amazing people and have helped me in so many ways . I will be forever grateful for their friendship .

Im waking up this morning in my new home away from home in LA . I have nothing in my kitchen but water , cereal and cashew nuts but I havn't had time to go to the store . I'm not even sure if I know where my local grocery store is yet . Ha Ha !! I am totally in love with my new place . It has exposed brick walls and just a cool loft feeling . Great vibe for making music . Castro came over tonight to hang out and check out my new place . He loved it here so im gonna try convince him to rent the apartment downstairs so I can have a friend in my building . Haha !!! We ended up not being able to work my new TV so opted for a movie called Body Of Lies at the famous chinese theatre . Such a good flick !!!!!! We also listened to some of each others new songs we have written . Let me tell you I will be buying Castros record . I am very proud of him . Beautiful songs !!!

I can't wait for you guys to hear some of the music i've been making . Its such a dream come true for everything to be finally working out . I was up late last night working on a lyric on a new song called "Lay with me" . Im very excited to finish it today !

I took a day off last week cause i was tired so Myself and kim Caldwell went furniture shopping . We didnt buy much though . All we ended up with was a gumball machine that lights up from a yard sale and a wooden elephant head . I think we got bored looking at furniture so we went bowling and clothing shopping instead . Being famous in LA is so wierd though . Im still trying to get used to it . Last night at dinner Kim told me that she saw a news letter on the Planet Funk website that said last week we went into their store and Showed what we bought . So Funny !!! They got it wrong though , I bought the dress and cardi . Kim has adopted me as one of her new super friends here in LA . Trouble is usually at the top of our list . We gel pretty well cause she knows how to have fun but she's also very smart and a hard hard worker . Maybe we should get our own BFF reality show . We'll call it " The Mountains " or " The Not So Simple Life " . LOL !!!!!!
