This afternoon, I'm leaving for a weekend-long church retreat. No technology allowed! Grr. See y'all Sunday night.

Post at Advice for Business Managers  Open in new Window. once per weekday.
*Check* Goal met, with posts scheduled through tomorrow morning. I'll publish Monday's post on Monday morning. I could theoretically find time to write one over the weekend. You know. By hand.

Post at MichelleTuesday.com  Open in new Window. at least once per week.
*Check* Goal met.

Write one Textbroker article per weekday.
*Thumbsdown* Goal canceled through the weekend.

Grow MochaNotes.com  Open in new Window. blogs.

*Bullet*Dabbling in Domesticity  Open in new Window.: I need to post this morning, and I'll be caught up through the end of this week. Again, I could write Monday's post this weekend and upload it Monday.

*Bullet* SEO: No new activity, but I'm not done optimizing.

Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
*Check* Goal met: "Natural Woman" by Aretha Franklin / Carole King. I launched "You've Got a Friend" last week or the week before, so I'm obviously on a Carole kick. I knew I should have bought tix to that flippin' upcoming King / Taylor concert. I didn't because... I guess I feel like I'm too busy. Retirement is great! You should all try it. *Thumbsup*

Write one new original song per month.
*Pencil* Pending.

Brand the biz(es.)
*Check* A little. I did some planning for my upcoming recital, corresponded with an architect about my build-out, sent a follow-up email about the status of my in-progress lease, taught a couple lessons, and rescheduled a few more, since I'll be gone all weekend.

Perform one household chore per day.
*Check* Goal met. Lau-au-aundry.

Read a book in print 15 minutes every day.
*Check* Goal met. I'll get lots of this done over the weekend, and not much else.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 6/1/10.
*Writing* In progress.
7:00am Coffee (1) and FiberOne granola bar (2)
