August has been, as always, a blur in my house. With three birthdays and our anniversary (#15 this year) it's like Christmas and the Fourth of July rolled into one. It's been a whole lotta baking, party-throwing, eating, decluttering (still) and traveling, and not so much exercising or writing.
The writing thing is picking up again, however, with a few assignments in the works. As part of one of them, I spoke to Marla Cilley, a.k.a. the FLYlady, by phone today. She was all Southern charm and decluttering enthusiasm. I also got another story idea from my conversation with her; now I just need to figure out to whom to pitch it.
Abby starts school a week from today, and I'm back to teaching in two weeks. It will be a schedule adjustment, as always, but I'm looking forward to it, even as I'm enjoying these last uncluttered days of summer.
About Me
- Julie
- I'm a writer, teacher, singer, mom and wife who tries to balance it all, with varying degrees of success on any given day. I've sung with opera companies, been on the communications staff for two health care organizations, and taught music at Catholic and public schools. Now I teach voice and Suzuki piano privately, cantor at local churches, and freelance for (mostly) local publications. And chase my three kids around.
