Frigid Temperatures in Janvier

This winter chill is too much for me!!! How about you? I'd like to pen a poem about the way too cold weather........In actuality though, I need to write about the 35th birthday for the Canton Newcomers. My working title is "Farmland To Ikea".
It kind of stands out to me........I've been doing some light drafts of the piece, and have to have it completed this weekend as I am literally out of time.
I'll probably write two versions of it, and give one to the group to read next Wednesday evening. As I have a class to teach, I will not be able to present the poem, unless they will be going strong for a couple of hours. I don't expect people to wait around for me to show up though........It'll be weird to have someone else read my work first......At any rate, I am excited about the opportunity to do this!!
I sold a copy of my book, "Woman Reclining" a couple of weeks ago to Canton's Township Treasurer, and she told my husband Gerry at a meeting this week that she has enjoyed reading my book and said that I am a very talented writer!!! That will help with promoting my book in Canton Township. I'd like for everyone to own a copy of it. I really have to come up with a slogan so that everyone buys a copy!!!
At any rate, I am pleased that I am reaching a large audience, and that my readers are enjoying the book. If you haven't purchased a copy yet, please do so!

As I am busy writing and teaching, I've been a little bit behind on my book manuscripts, but, I am coming up with additional ideas to add to it. I plan on having some best-sellers on my hands soon......Perhaps by the end of 2007.........I know, I know, I have lofty goals, but without them, it's a bit harder to trudge in that direction..................
Also, today, I went to the Anton Art Center in Mount Clemens to drop off my artwork, and am looking forward to the artist's reception next Friday evening. I am truly inspired, and hope that some of you will stop by and say hi. I've invited most of my students to come to it. I haven't invited my french students yet, I'll probably do that Monday evening (which of course is my birthday), and if they want to come it would be nice.
I have yet to write a press release regarding this event, and really need to do that tomorrow!
Well, that's it for this month, and this evening. I really hope that the deep freeze will settle in somewhere else tonight, and give me a warm birthday by reaching the freezing point. At this point, I'll be lucky if the temperature doesn't not dip below zero degrees.
Happy Below Freezing Birthday To Me!!!!!!
See you in February................
