Happy New Year! XOXO, Ashley

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope everyone had an amazing and fun filled New Year. I actually had to do a show on New Year's Eve, so we had a big party on stage with the whole cast! But when the clock actually turned to midnight, I was already on the tour bus headed to Toronto, Canada, sleeping and resting up for the next show!! That’s not anything that exciting, but oh well, I still had fun. Haha.

Hope you guys had good holiday, what did you guys get? One of the best things I got was a new iPod -- finally! My old one was actually stolen!!! And I was getting by OK without it for a little while until we stayed at this one hotel that had iHome’s in every room. The iHome is something you can plug your iPod in and play music through the speakers. But I had no iPod to plug in, and then all of a sudden I started missing it a lot. And everyone was talking about it saying, “OMG, Did you plug in your iPod? I was jamming it so loud, blah blah” haha, I was left out. Oh well. But then I got a new one for Christmas, so now I just have to reload it with some new music, it’s still pretty empty though -- any suggestions?

So today we are in upstate NY, and we are headed even further north to Connecticut. It’s cold here!!! I don’t think I packed enough layers, LOL. There’s not much snow here to play in -- it’s just plain cold. I’m such a wimp in the cold weather, I’m like sprinting from the hotel to the bus and bus to the venue, and any time I’m outside, haha, just to escape the cold! It doesn’t seem to bother Blondie though (my little dog), I think she’s enjoying it, but then again she wears a little sweater and more layers than me, haha, j/k.

Oh! I forgot to tell you…my song “Be Good To Me” started playing on the radio, Radio Disney to be exact. Already, some people have started to come up to me to tell me, but I haven’t been able to hear it yet! I’m so excited; it’s such a crazy and weird feeling to hear it. I definitely know I’m going to freak out when I finally hear it; I think I might jump around and probably jump on top of tables or cars or something and scream really loudly. So watch out if you are around me when that happens you might get hurt. LOL. But I’ll definitely tell you guys the story when it does happen. Have any of you heard it yet?

We also finally finished the album cover for Headstrong. I’m definitely excited about that, it was very fun to work on and figure out with the art guys. So, hope you like it!

I’ll check in with you guys next week. I’ll be of course still touring, but I know I’ll have a lot of new news for you. Fill me in on your holiday; I love to hear what you guys are up to! Have fun, and talk to you soon.

xoxo
Ashley
