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.

Pending... but since last month's submission was REJECTED yesterday (*Balloon1**Balloon4**Balloon5*), I can submit that story to someone else. *Thumbsup* Much easier than, say, polishing another story for submission or, gasp!, writing a whole new story. I guess I've been on a nonfiction kick with my Helium and Textbroker articles.

I overslept today! I normally wake between 8am-9am, but today, I rolled over and found that I'd slept till 11:11am. I'm supposed to LEAVE for Potbelly at 11:00. Sheesh. The power went out last night, and by some coincidence, I'd put my phone on silent last night, so even my backup alarm didn't go off. I was supposed to teach a make-up lesson to a drum student from 10am-11am today, too, but fortunately his mom loves me. Gonna try the make-up again tomorrow... *Pthb* ...and give him another freebie lesson to make up for my FAILure. Gah.

But I think I needed the sleep. I feel awesome!
