My Busy Month of October- And It's Just Starting

I gotta be honest yall- I had to force myself to write tonight. It's 9 pm and I am exhausted. Really wanting to climb in to bed but I have been lazy with my writing lately so- here I go.

Last weekend was freakin bananas for me, and I slept through one of the main things I had to do: Junior League's Bookin It 5K. Yeah my smart behind signed up for the 5:45 am shift. It helps if you set your iPhone alarm for "weekend" rather than "weekday". I woke up at 7 am. But honestly, I probably needed the sleep. This past week, and tonight, consisted of practices for Spirits in October as well. Guess who isn't off book yet? Me. Gettin there though. If you haven't bought tickets yet go here:

And from my understanding- they sell out fast so you might wanna jump on it. I will be playing one of my sororities founders: Mary Evans Glass, of Alpha Delta Pi. (A-D-Pi A-D-Pi who am I? ADPI!)

Also last week and last night, meetings for Macon Art Alliance's Taste of the Arts. So look- I'd really like to out do my fellow committee members in ticket sales so could you do me a favor and go here to buy them? Thanks so much!!!

Sorry guys I know I am really dipping in your wallets but seriously- if you have EVER uttered the words "there's nothing to do in Macon" well guess what- I am calling you out on it now. "Doing something" costs money so why not contribute to some great causes while you are at it?

So wait, what else did I do this past weekend? OH yes I remember- two big things. For one, I made it to Crossroads Writers Conference. This is a HUGE victory for me and I only made it to three events. I wish I had gone to the whole damn thing. Next year- next year I will. I said it this year but really next year. Even in just one afternoon I made some invaluable connections (shout out to Carrie Howland and Anya Silver) and discovered some of my acquaintances were writers in disguise.

After that Saturday, I watched the Dawgs fail miserably and headed to friend Jerry's birthday party- always a good time with our group.

Then on Sunday- photo shoot day!! #TheMuseProject is what we are calling it- we shot with Floco Torres in downtown Macon. Why are we calling it The Muse Project? Well, I am playing a character who is a musicians muse. The goal is to shoot with more musicians (and I am dying to shoot in The Grand as well). Stayed tuned to see more of how the story develops!

Oh! Now as for this week- well I had Junior League tonight, and things will be pretty quiet til this weekend when it's time for the Macon Symphony. And of course with that comes another outfit debate- but I will tackle that later on my Make It Work Molly blog.

Well peeps- I gotta go. I really need to try and sleep some tonight. Til next time folks...

UPDATE: Obviously- I needed sleep very badly cause I FORGOT to include what I did Friday night- I had my first art show! It's still up at Roasted if you want to check it out. I also went to the Macon Art Alliance's show and my friend Heathery's show at the Contemporary Arts Exchange. Well, actually it's Heatherly and her hubby's show together. I got some really cool ideas from her about how to mix my poetry with my paintings- I don't have the courage to venture in to it just yet but maybe someday. Til then I will just admire her work. :) I also got to meet Eric O'Dell while there and look at his work. The cool thing about the Contemporary Arts Exchange is that they have these rooms with all different artists- it's really their studios. So you can get a neat glimpse inside of how each artist works.
