The Struggling Musician

You know your desperate when you are super stoked about an opportunity to play guitar and sing on a street corner. I've heard countless "judges" on reality shows say, "that was a wedding singer performance" or "you are just another hotel singer."  The truth is, if I was a hotel singer I'd practically feel little Celine Dion singing at Ceaser's Palace in VEGAS!  It's like when Addy was 3 years old playing at the park and introduced herself to a random Mommy and said, "Hi, I'm Addy. I'm 3 and when I'm older I'm going to shoot a deer."  This is me.  "Hi, I'm Jennie. And I sing at hotels,  illegitimate weddings and street corners and I didn't even have to pay them to let me do it."  (Hopefully.....about the last part.)  Yes, it's so secret, I'm a struggling musician. Okay, not really but it's kinda fun to act like it. But in all honesty, I'm SUPER excited that I got accepted to play at the farmers market 4 times this season!!!  So, on May 26th, I'll be playing on the corner downtown and I want you ALL there in spirit! And I'll have my guitar case open for tips so if you want to imagine throwing in a $100 bill.....well then I'd TOTALLY accept your fake money. :)  Wow.....it feels great to have finally "made it." (Hopefully you get the sarcasm.)

On another note, I ran more than 7 miles a few days ago. This was my longest in awhile and let me tell you...I jiggled and wiggled that whole darn run. But...jiggled a little less than last month so we're making progress and that my friend is....FAB!

And while we are on the topic of running, let's take a stroll down memory lane.  After I had lost weight before (about 10 years ago) Mom asked me if I did face exercises because my face was thinner. I remember Mom making some up on the spot. (smile really BIG and then act like you are going to kiss someone, do 25 reps, 3 sets) Ha....too funny. What a laugh.  And by the way, I know you all tried it just now!

Well, gotta run. Brinley's ready to play outside.  :) love you all.
