I just got back from the opening of “Creative Tallahassee,” the juried art show I blogged about here<\/a>. And guess what?? Second place! Yup. Second place, for the ABC book, as I tend to call it. I was very surprised. Life is good.<\/p>\n

Now that I’m going back to school for a degree in art — did I mention that I originally frittered away my undergraduate education in accounting? — I’m swamped with work. Wedding invitations, commissions, certificates, more certificates, more wedding invitation addresses . . . the list goes on and on. Pretty soon I’m going to have to quit accepting at least some work. Not that I’m complaining.<\/p>\n

Really, there’s simply nothing to complain about, except perhaps that there’s not time enough to do all the things I want to do. In a little over a week I’ll be playing the piano for a doctoral student’s ensemble recital, and accompanying a violin major for her spring jury. I like all the music: Loeffler’s Two Rhapsodies for oboe, viola and piano; Elgar’s violin sonata, and a violin arrangement of Debussy’s La Plus Que Lente. Much fun. And art school classes start on May 9. And we’re getting a puppy on Memorial Day weekend. And somewhere in there — hopefully before classes start — I need to finish the webmaster certification project which is my redesigned website. All things I’m looking forward to.<\/p>\n

I feel like there are little champagne bubbles floating up from my head. And I only had water with dinner. Yes, life is very good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
