La Bene Vita

Tuesday

Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
Goal met. I launched "Got You Where I Want You" by the Flys and "All Out of Love" by Air Supply, which makes up for last week, too.

Post at WordPress at least once per month.
Pending.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
Pending.

Write one new original song per month.
Pending.

NEW GOAL: Write new lyrics once per day through November.
Pending. I needed something to do, since I decided not to NaNo. I figure if I write a bunch of songs, my odds of stumbling across a hit will increase.

COMPLETED GOAL: "October Novel Prep Challenge"  [13+]
Goal met. I distributed Merit Badges to all except Crys-not really here , who will receive hers after 11/10. And since I have nothing left to do until after NaNo, this goal comes down tomorrow.

REVISED: Earn at least $60 per pay period at Textbroker.
Goal met. I like this approach better than the article-quantity goal, because it's more meaningful. Articles are due by the 6th and 20th of every month in order to receive payouts for the pay periods.

REVISED: Earn at least $25 per month at Helium.
Pending. Helium pay period ends on the 24th of each month, so I have plenty of time on this one.

NEW GOAL: Complete one Prep challenge per day until complete.
Goal met. I'm counting this as complete because I spent time working on the book item that will house my challenges. Yes, I'm actually going to do my own Prep, finally. At this time, I make no promises as to next steps, such as actually writing a novel. I'll play it by ear for now.

Resign from Abbott by 6/1/10.
In progress.

REINSTATED: Read a book in print for fifteen minutes every day.
Goal met. I reinstated this because the Prep is over and, hey, a girl needs her intellectual relaxation time.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by Thanksgiving.
D'oh. Goin' backwards.

10:30pm Yellow cake (3) but easy on the vodka... methinks the boy is testing my tolerance

Current real estate goal: Organize garage.
In progress! I organized the games closet and took the 8-year-old's old bicycle to Goodwill. Also, on the home sale front, I am having a half bath installed by Molly Jean this week... who, by the way, is no longer MJTruex, but apparently, MJLowry. CONGRATULATIONS She'll always be Molly Jeep to me, especially since I finally got to meet the famous Black Wrangler!
