La Bene Vita

But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

It seems blogging has turned into a weekly activity. But because my weight has ballooned, it shall be daily once again. And I'm embarrassed to say that I already started my morning off with a "Block O"  Open in new Window. sugar cookie, which was probably four or five points, and it's only 6:00 in the morning. And with a studio full of leftover chips, pretzels, and candy from our highly successful Halloween Party, today is sure to be a test of my Willpower. Except that my name's not Will, it's Michelle, so maybe that's what I've been getting wrong all this time. *Pthb*

HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE, PEOPLE.


I picked a doozy of a time to start a business. First of all, it's clearly the apocolype.  Open in new Window. (yes, the 2012'ers among you already knew this, but I'm a slow learner.) Second of all, we're in an economic recession here in Ohio, which is always a good time quit a steady, high-paying, benefits-providing corporate job and spend a bunch of (mostly borrowed) money in hopes of "eventually" making a profit. Third, and DUH, it's National Novel Writing Month  Open in new Window., so I should be *Writing*writing*Writing*, not *Music1*working*Music2*.

On the other hand, I *Heart* my job; I've provided employment to eight people; and for some inexplicable reason, I PICKED THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. I analyzed this a little when I selected my location, but this town has rendered my wildest dreams the saddest little fairy tales. We are in the midst of a business explosion. Yesterday, we signed up our 61st private student (in case you're not keeping up, we enrolled our 50th student a week ago *Down*). If I keep up this pace for the next month or two, we'll be making a profit before the snow melts, and my wallet will start to get fat again.

Which is good, because it needs to keep up with my hips and belly. *Pthb*

MEALS:
6:00 am "Block O" sugar cookie (5) and coffee (1)
8:00 am Half bagel with cheese (3.5)
11:00 am Jelly bellies (3) and two mini snickers (3)
1:45 pm Roast beef sammich (7)
2:30 pm Jelly bellies (1)
All evening: Jelly bellies (2) and another two mini snickers (3)
Late after work: Broccoli (3) and a bunch of Snyder's pretzel things (4?)
TOTAL POINTS: 36-ish

Shame on me.
