Wednesday: 30 Days

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
30 days.

Brand the biz(es.)
I'm in pretty good shape here. I'm getting used to introducing myself as "Michelle Tuesday" and telling people that the name of my biz is "Michelle Tuesday Music Studio." Plus, I keep handing out biz cards.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
I looked at over a dozen commercial properties today, holy crap. I found two that I *adore* and can actually afford! Plus several more that weren't quite right. I have my approximate budget amount, so I need to start running numbers on my three-year biz plan.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
Pending: "The Nails in His Hands"

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
Still pending... and this one should be so easy. First thing in the morning...

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
Weight:
Meals: Too much, especially the mashed potatoes (5?) for dinner, followed by a scoop of frozen yogurt (1) and a scoop of full-fat ice cream (3). The pork chop (3) and peas (0) were nice and healthy. Two Max & Erma's cookies (10?), one fourth of a club sandwich WITH MAYO OMG I forgot to ask for no mayo, a bowl of french onion soup, a tall, nonfat berry white mocha at Caribou, um... a fiber English muffin with butter and a tablespoon of orange marmalade - yummy, one strip of bacon, and coffee.

In reverse order.

Write new lyrics once per week.
Pending.

Write one new original song per month.
Goal met. This is the piece I've been working on throughout February: "Invalid Item"  . The song still needs polishing, but I launched it at Potbelly yesterday, so I must have decided it was done-ish. I probably won't record it for awhile, so don't get excited. I will, however, play it regularly so that I can polish on the fly. Nothing like getting paid to practice and compose music.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.
Goal met. When I played "Time," I had already launched "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2.

Writing...
I finished my last four Textbroker articles, and then received DirectOrders for sixteen more. I need to stop pleasing customers.

Website: SEO, Javascript menus, "Now Hiring" page, embedded videos of my kids, studio policy, other docs.
