La Bene Vita

Thursday: 15 Days!

I'm still alive.

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
15 Days! I'm fairly sure this is a done deal, seeing as how I spent the last two days helping my boss interview candidates for my replacement.

Brand the biz(es.)
More floor plans! I found another location I love, although I'm not sure I'll get any kind of deal I can live with out of them.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
Yep. I looked at more properties online, and I read about twenty emails my mom sent with ideas and thoughts. She's helping me look at the numbers. She loves numbers. One of her favorite tasks is reconciling her checkbook.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Uh... I forgot about this completely.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.

7:30am Coffee (1), yogurt (0), banana (2)

Write one new original song per month.
Goal met, and I really like this one.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.
Pending, but probably not going to happen. Instead, I'm breaking some songs out of the archives to keep it interesting. I'm just too busy.

Maintain Business Managers blog.
{e:FAIL} I told Storm Machine that I could write these articles in my sleep. Coincidentally, during sleep was the only time I had the last two days to complete this task, and it turns out that I'm not, in fact, capable of writing these articles in my sleep.

It doesn't matter, because I pulled the blog. I want it hosted exclusively on my domain, not on wordpress.com. I'm still working on making that happen and hoping I didn't screw it up by launching it at wordpress.com in the first place (although, that *is* the reason for the Business Managers blog - as a trial run for my music educators blog.)

Come to think of it, I should move my michelletuesday.wordpress.com blog off of wordpress.com. Again, the biz managers blog can be my trial run to see if I can undo the wp.com hosting.

Meet other writing goals.

24 Textbroker articles pending: I need to accept my next four. I had typos in my last two sets of four. I think the client may be getting a little irritated. I actually only have eight DirectOrders in my inbox; he just told me that he has sixteen more to send, but we'll see if he still likes me after these eight. Not that I have time to write them, but it is regular writing income.

Music Educators blog: On hold.

Easter is coming. I need to get crackin' on some worship planning for church.
