La Bene Vita

Tuesday

Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
Pending.

Post at WordPress at least once per month.
Pending.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
Goal met, and I've made plans for several launches in December. Advent/Christmas, you know.

Write one new original song per month.
In progress, working on "Invalid Item"  . It's hard to do at my Monday/Tuesday store, because the crowd is light, and I'm highly amplified. In contrast, my Thursday-Saturday store is typically crowded, and the manager always turns my volume way down, so I can get away with muttering, humming, and otherwise trying things out! I'm working there tomorrow this week (because I'm pre-empted Saturday for the OSU/Michigan game), so I may get the chance to work on it.

Write new lyrics once per day through November.
Fail.

Earn at least $60 per pay period at Textbroker.
In progress. I completed an article this morning worth $7.99. I think it was four minutes late, and I'm not even sure how I managed that, because I thought the article would automatically get snagged out of my queue at the deadline. The article I signed up for this morning has a five-day deadline, which is much better than those stupid 24-hour varieties.

Current Balance: $17.70, with $7.99 pending client acceptance. Due date: 11/20/09. I think I need to work faster.

Earn at least $25 per month at Helium.
In progress.
Current Balance: $7.50. Due date: 11/24/09.

Resign from Abbott by 6/1/10.

I sent an email to some friends in the arts, and one wrote back with some really good suggestions. Technically, that's not something *I* did, but, hey: I made the bed, and now I'm sleeping in it. (You know how I love those cliches!)
