New Month Babble

Happy new month!  I love and hate them the day they start.  Fun to change stuff like the monthly collages on this blog (which, by the way, are all from a family-photos themed calendar I put together years ago). Scary to feel a whole month closer to deadlines, or notice my 
savings are a whole rent payment lower.
Then there's the evaluation I inevitabley put myself through: did I get enough done last month? Well, I finished my Queen Cor lines!  Check it out— http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11562  Little worried about recording my next project, because the house sounds like there's squirrels in the walls.  Bad background noise.  But sooner or later, I'll catch those critters at rest.
Band news starting to fill my big, gaping music void.  Song to learn!
Oh, and job, yes.  Might have one now.  Buffet's supposed to call me.  Also looking into greeting card writing.  It can't be harder than trying to get a novel published, and I'm already doing that.
What I love about the first of the month is initiating all my new plans.  I make monthly lists of research, writing, life stuff to get done and whenever I start a new one, anything seems possible. 
If perchance there is someone here who reads this, know I plan to open a new blog in June—one that allows visitor comments without registration.
Meanwhile, it's: learn to rock sing, to write "sparkling" thank-yous and get-wells, to negotiate with squirrels, and to deliver a contest-winning short story about an incorporeal girl.  And I'm proofreading my mom's novella.  Helping my friend convert it to youtube.  Thanks for the employment!
Have a good May:-)
