La Bene Vita

Friday: 49 days

My damn laptop is f'd up again. This time, the power port on the motherboard has a loose connection, so the battery won't charge. The motherboard is brand new, because they replaced it to fix the video card problem. And of course the tech is behind because of the weather.

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
In progress and on schedule with notice: 49 days and counting!

Brand the biz(es.)
In progress. So, Keith and I go to this Mexican restaurant every week or two, sometimes with the kids. Last summer, they installed a new patio, but it was late and they never got to properly launch it before it got cold. Last week, I gave the owner my card and suggested acoustic music on the patio to launch it in the spring. Last night, Keith and I went again, and the owner approached me and asked if I can bring him a CD. He's thinking of having me weekly, and he has it all planned out! Mariachi band one night, me another night, and his son's band a third.

Also, randomly, an actress from the community theatre where I served two years as Music Director contacted me on Facebook and asked if I still teach voice lessons.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
Goal met.

Business: Music Instruction Books.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Pending... and since I need to burn a CD for the Mexican restaurant owner, I may go ahead and record a bunch of upbeat songs.
