The Good Life.
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.

About reading yesterday: I was well-intentioned, really. I even picked up the book at least three times. But Keith's 8-year-old daughter, Abby, to whom I've been teaching piano lessons for the last eight months or so, and who recently started learning guitar from me as well, introduced me to the most addictive, awesome, amazingly fun activity ever known to man:

Guitar Hero.

Dang it. There goes my productivity.

And in case you're wondering, Abby won every, single time. Yep. There's poetic justice for ya. She beat her guitar teacher at Guitar Hero.

And also in case you're wondering, no, "Hot For Teacher" isn't in the list of songs you can play. Maybe it's a bonus song you can play if you're good enough. I'll just have to keep trying. *Bigsmile*

I can't swear I'm back on track, because Keith likes to grill, and he makes - you know - whole meals with sides and stuff. It's just a new routine that I have to figure out.

In progress, although, there are some interesting developments related to the boy, with whom I am getting along famously. Bottom line, I'm not quite sure exactly what this goal is, and by the end of August, I should have a better idea. Maybe I'll leave earlier, maybe later, maybe right on 12/1. Maybe I'll move to day shift. Maybe I'll leave Potbelly and start promoting myself for more lucrative evening gigs. Maybe, maybe, maybe... *rubs hands together* Seriously, I love my life. I wish I could squeeze more hours into a day, because there's so much more I'd like to do (case in point: refer to all the "Fail" references above!), but ultimately, I get to do a lot of fun stuff and make good money, which is more than many can say. I have no complaints, regardless of how this all turns out.

...well, few complaints, anyway.

Honestly, even Abbott is getting more bearable, except that I need to go to day shift.

Write three Helium article by 6/24/09.
Fail. I needed to achieve this in order to get paid this month; you have to have a balance of $25 in your Helium account to request payment, and I only have about $23. One more article would have boosted me into payout range. Since I missed the deadline, I'll just have to wait until next month to get paid, and it won't take another article to do it. My Internet traffic payments on existing articles will easily boost me over the $25 mark. Therefore, I could cancel this goal.

I'm on the fence over this goal, though. I am back on 2nd shift, and with Keith and I working different hours, I have time to work on writing and music goals in the morning. I'd rather spend the time with him *Heart* but since it's not an option, I might as well make productive use of my time.

Maintain a maximum weight of 150.0.

Weight: I hit my goal, and then haven't weighed myself in a week! I may or may not weigh myself this week either, but by next week, I'll start back up again to make sure I'm maintaining. The previous weeks' worth of entries *Down* do not include complete lists of my food intake. I've had grilled filet mignon, brats, chips, potato salad, Steak 'n Shake... a lot of fatty and high calorie foods. This week, I'm back on track.

Meals:
6:30am Granola bar (2.5) and coffee (1)
9:00am NutriGrain bar (2.5)
1:45pm Skinny roast beef sandwich (7)
8:00pm Red Lobster! Yummeh. Maine lobster tail in butter, about four scallops, maybe four shrimp, a couple bites of rice, and four or five large pieces of broccoli. And a biscuit.
9:30pm Small scoop of ice cream

Goals.
I've combined these so I can assign one colossal "fail" to the lot of them. But it's okay! I'm fine with it. I'm in talks with 88 Keys to cut back my hours teaching lessons, too. I'm doing too much. It's time to back off and schedule in some "me" time.
