1. Turtle necks come in very very handy for sun protection.
2. The Unknown Mom is perhaps not at peak singing voice at 7:30 a.m.
3. Yes, the lucky blue hat had indeed gone missing again recently, but was retrieved by a stroke of fortune during a rare burst of mysterious activity I’ve heard called house-cleaning.
4. My fave part is The Child’s final note of the song. LOVE that! And her.
And you.
WAIT!! I must edit in this number 5 to tell you I was in an automatic tranny car, with one hand firmly on the wheel, the other holding out the iPhone to tape — so don’t worry! I had my driving under control.

And please, for blogging improvement, I’d SO appreciate your vote in the poll below…
THANKS!!

I am at the library, but not for long. Gotta take The Child to gymnastics soon.
I had a bath today.
I washed my hair.
I did 10% of the dishes. (Still no dishwasher, but who really NEEDS one?)
I had only to add a bit of lettuce to the salad, whoo-hoo! No onions, radish or tomatoes to chop.
After I drop The Child at gymnastics, I’m heading somewhere to meet Mardi and Tracy for a few hours of beer-ment and song.
I may not be posting again for several days. Gonna get hopping on Christmas. All our family is in Canada.
And mailing the remaining blog give-away prizes — oh but first Kelly must choose which 5 winners get which of the 5 books. She’s gonna put on her cute little baby leopard blindfold to do that.
I will videotape, of course!!
And somewhere in all this I’m going to renew my soul on a walk or two by the river.
I look forward to getting around to read your blogs at some point too!
Ah ha! One I took at the grand opening of Austin’s beautiful Butler Dance Center, when Kelly was 5.
It was a great dance party.
LL Cool Joe must’ve been the DJ – the tunes were so crankingly hot!
(Kelly only lasted 3 months at Ballet Austin because she was more interested in being a comedienne in class, but I did get some cute pix before we quit. And of course, she took tap / ballet at a couple other studios from ages 2 to 4, so there are those pix and videos to cherish forever too.)
No more ballet, yet life has continued! Who knew it ever could or would?!
And below, a little dance party break.
Friends, did you ever “quit” a class or an activity for you or your child? And if so, how did that work out? Was it a learning experience?
And are you weird too? (Feel free to share details of that!)

Hey, I’ll announce the final Give-away winners soon, but I must drop everything to let you know that today is International Horizontal Photo Day!!!! Yep. I hereby declare it to be so! Whoo-hoo!!
Just turn your computer (or your head) sideways to stand beside me where I took these a couple weeks ago!
(Actually, it was the same morning I took this one!)
Well, back to my songwriting now, which is going so so great!!! I am LOVING my progress on my next 12 tunes. Amazing what a little focus can do.
With love from Springtime Jannie

Edit… You still may post a convincing and / or poetic comment for why you’d like a particular give-away item on THIS POST. I’ll probably choose the winners Friday night? Saturday night? Sunday?? I have no idea when – but you know I will! Then, I’ll leave a comment at the end of said post to let you know who won what and why. (and I’ll e-mail the winners.)
EX-cellent!
