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

Brand the biz(es.)
*Check* 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.
*Check* I looked at over a dozen commercial properties today, holy crap. I found two that I *adore* and can actually afford! *Delight* 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.
*Pencil* Pending: "The Nails in His Hands"

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
*Pencil* 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.
*Pencil* Pending.

Write one new original song per month.
*Check* Goal met. This is the piece I've been working on throughout February: "Invalid Item" Open in new Window. . 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.
*Check* Goal met. When I played "Time," I had already launched "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2.

Writing...
*Writing* I finished my last four Textbroker articles, and then received DirectOrders for sixteen more. I need to stop pleasing customers.
*Writing* WordPress post.
*Writing* Website: SEO, Javascript menus, "Now Hiring" page, embedded videos of my kids, studio policy, other docs.
*Writing* Blog idea.
*Thought*  Comment
