La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  , worship leader , small business owner , songwriter , aspiring author and freelance nonfiction writer with a chemical engineering degree .
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.

I'm getting worried. This is a replacement laptop (black and bulky), sent because my first laptop (hot pink and tiny!) had a bad video card that kept eating motherboards and hard drives. The warranty on my original (pink) laptop, which transferred to the replacement (black) laptop, expired August of 2011. So it figures that my (black) replacement, which was a refurbished computer when they shipped it, would die right now. And in the last couple weeks, it has several times randomly rebooted itself and announced that no operating system was found. *starts thinking about backing up hard drive contents*
My next laptop will be tiny again. And not from Dell.
Renovation
We renovate the back next week. Currently an unpainted, concrete-floored storage area, the room will be converted to half computer lab and half office. We aren't erecting any walls - we haven't submitted drawings or pulled permits. We're just finishing the walls that are there, painting, laying a floor, and arranging the furniture for now. It's a trial run for the computer lab.
Reach 275 students at MTMS by 12/31/11.
Recitals were a blast. The University stage was perfect, and we still managed to maintain a light-hearted, fun atmosphere. And I'm sooooo glad it's over. On the enrollment front, we're still hovering around 230.
Writing:
 Blog at MT.com by the end of the month: Yes.
One character profile per day: No.
One fiction contest entry per day: No.
One original song per week: No.
SCOPE CREEP HERE. I've been trying to transfer all my WDC data to Kindle, just to get it all in once place. I'm starting to think it's a bad idea, because Kindle is not that easy to navigate. It's great for its intended purpose - reading books. But snippets and things? It just takes too many clicks. Which puts me back at Square 1 in organizing my in-progress writing. And I have a laptop that may day any moment.
Count points:
No.
Today, I have a worship planning meeting at church, work, and possibly to sub for two acting classes. Besides that, I may play video games or fart around on Facebook and Pinterest all day. Even at work. |

Even better if she can whistle to the tune of Mozart or something.

For your hard work, commitment, talent and innovation in running the October NaNoWriMo Preparation each year, which helps many of us get our scattered thoughts together for November's novel-writing. And also because this badge has ducks on it.](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/general-Leadership.gif)
