1-29-11 Chasing Butterflies

Wow-- Spring is around the corner-- it's going to be in the 60's today in Atlanta. How inspiring! I'm sure the butterflies will be back soon; I've got Lollipop believing it and right now she is searching for them in the yard. :)

The end of the month brings 'round reflection and I must say I'm pleased with much of what I've accomplished this first month of 2011: submitting writing to various contests/publications, playing at Eddie's Attic twice along with other cool venues (check out www.reverbnation.com/jeanniecaryn for upcoming music performances I've scheduled), going out to hear other amazing musicians play good live music, writing a couple of new songs and learning about song structure and studio recording, writing and revising a new short story entitled "The Robe" (up for your feedback under my link for short stories later today) spending time with people that matter most to me, and not having one day that made me feel as if I am wasting time.

I'm excited for February to begin!

Busy week--job searching is dreadful even by choice so I found it easy to distract myself by writing during the great snowglobe adventure we had here in Atlanta. I ended up creating a short story to accompany a painting I did in December. The story is entitled "The Robe"-- it needs a bit more revision and then I'll post it up here for anyone interested....is anyone out there? It's past midnight. Shhhhh....Maybe you're all asleep? ;)

Snow on the ground: Pug on lap; Music in ears; Bloody Mary in hand. ;)

Resigned from Cobb County yesterday. I've wanted to quit teaching since 1996 when I started. It feels good. Much to do today!

Happy New Year, everyone! But for not winning Mega Millions, I had a great start to the year- hope all of you did too! I can't wait to see what the year brings us all....Cheers!!
