La Bene Vita

Tuesday

I rarely review my blog statistics, but I glanced at the numbers yesterday and was surprised to find that my blog has about three times as many non-Writing.com readers as it has readers who are registered users at Writing.Com. Welcome, non-Writing.com readers!

Advertise "October Novel Prep Challenge"  [13+].
Goal met. I posted in scroll and sent a group email.

Learn one new cover band song per week.
On hold. Luis was supposed to call me to discuss the status of the band, but he hasn't. I could call him, I suppose. Deep down, part of me thinks this is a good thing. I don't have the time to devote to this right now. It's a lead, though, and when I leave Abbott next year, I may pursue it with a bit more tenacity.

Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
Pending.

NEW: Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
In progress. I jotted down a few more *already published* songs that I might enjoy leading: "Made to Love" by TobyMac and "You're Worthy of Praise" by Big Daddy Weave and BarlowGirl (in addition to "Lifesong" by Casting Crowns.) Have I ruled out an original song? ...slowly getting there...

Write one new original song per month.
Goal met, and you can listen here: http://michelletuesday.wordpress.com. The lyrics are by Robert Waltz : "Is This Thing On?"  [ASR].

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Goal met. See above. Go me!

Write one Textbroker article per week.
Goal met; I wrote the article I reserved last week. I also reserved another, which I will count toward this week's goal.

Resign from Abbott by 6/1/10.
In progress. Ugh... that date seems so far out. I said so to Keith, and he pretty much said he wouldn't object to me leaving sooner, but we might just have to settle for a less desirable house.

I'm okay with that.

For clarification, Keith is not in charge of my decision. I value his input, and I want to make sure he's comfortable with what I decide to do. He's a bit more financially conservative than I, but he's also never projected out his future budget. We've been working on that together, because I'd like him to be more comfortable with my financial stability.

Maintain 150.0 lbs.
