La Bene Vita

But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

I am a smidge on the depressed side this week. I miss my regular gig, and I just dropped the price of my house. Again. After nearly two years on the market, I have dropped the price a total of $30,000.

Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11:
Still quivering around 165. We gained one and lost two yesterday - two of my very first students, whose mom is a friend of mine. She travels from across Columbus to bring her kids, so I understand the problem. Travel is getting expensive. Still, bummer. They're bright and talented kids.

On the plus side, I've seen an uptick in the number of questions about our summer camps. I don't think all our existing students are aware, so clearly, our advertising is not obvious enough. I have a marketing person working on that.

Reading: One book per week.
*Writing* About halfway through Eclipse.

Writing:
(1) *Pencil* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Bleh.
(2) *Thumbsdown* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Bleh.

Count points:
Morning weigh-in: 164.4.
Yesterday's points: 30+
I can't seem to stay out of the Easter candy, and yesterday, I had a craving for salt that led me to two different bags of chips in the faculty lounge. *Pthb*
