Okay, first of all, it's time to start counting points again. Sheesh. I feel like a damn yo-yo.

Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11:
*Writing* Gah enroll, withdraw, enroll, withdraw. On the bright side, we already have our first summer camp enrollment, and we are getting lots of questions about it.

Compile book inventory:
*Pencil* Pending.

Pick scheduling database by 7/31/11:
*Writing* No progress.

Reading: One book per week.
*Writing* I need to create a weekly schedule and stick with it. Since I lost six hours of Potbelly, I can reallocate that. My problem now is that I spend every free moment farting around with business-related stuff... searching the web for copyright laws... looking for resources for summer camps... modifying the business plan... planning renovations... I wake up in the morning, pick up the laptop before I even get out of bed sometimes, and I do those things. I need to establish a real schedule for myself that involves scheduled leisure and scheduled work.

Writing:
(1) *Writing* Blog at WDC daily: Catching up.
(2) *Check* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. weekly. Nope.

Count points:
Coffee (2)
Nutty granola bar (3)
Fiber breakfast bar (2)
Fiber granola bar (1.5)
Tuna (1.5)
Fiber granola bar (1.5)
See what I'm doing? Every time I have the urge to nibble (stuff my face), I'm reaching for low-point fiber granola bar.
Okay, not every time...
Cheesy garlic bread (10?)
Guacamole salad (4)
Taco (4)

TOTAL POINT: 29.5

NEW GOAL: Devise a weekly schedule that incorporates all my other goals.
Pending.

I'm getting those "Your premium membership is about to expire" nastygrams. I should also budget some time to clean up my port and make sure I'm not going to lose anything important.
