La Bene Vita

Monday

This is my second blog post in twenty minutes, because I decided to do it right. Finally, after all my Dell troubles, I have recreated my blog template. Which is good, because I want to try an experiment regarding my Alexa rankings.

Post at MichelleTuesday.com   at least once per week.
Pending, but I did post last week.

Advertising
PRIORITIES:
Google "Grand Opening" campaign: Needs to be funded and revised.
Columbus Radio Group ads: LAUNCHED! OMG, I have a radio ad during rush hour.
Gahanna and New Albany local papers: PENDING.
Band boosters: Need the info.
T-shirts (?), drum sticks (?), guitar picks, shaker eggs, tote bags: Working closely with the vendor to meet deadlines and submit artwork.
Get with Gahanna schools admin office about sending fliers home: DONE, and -surprise- they have a form. I need to create the flier, print it, and submit it along with the form for approval ASAP.
SEO: Alexa was at 480k before my computer died. Now it's at 580k. I have to wonder if my daily WDC blog reference to {xlink:http://www.michelletuesday.com} helped the ranking climb.
High school athletic calendar: Should be published today, but now I need a Grand Opening revision.
Town Moneysaver: Ad published, and we actually got a slew of calls!

Business start-up activities.
PRIORITIES:
Database: GAH, this is so back burner, but really necessary.
Hiring: Look into background checks. New Employee Orientation was great.
Payroll: Ran! It works.
Order exterior signage: INSTALLED!

Launch one new performance repertoire song per week.
I only sang three days last week, due to studio painting and furniture moving.

Perform one household chore per day.
I am desperately trying to catch up on this. Today I washed and dried a load of laundry, folded the one I found in the dryer , folded the basket that has been overflowing with clean whites for at least a week, and ran the dishwasher.

Read a book in print 15 minutes every day.
I was getting in to "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" but stopped reading due to about five days of heavy manual labor. I find that I crash hard at bedtime.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 9/1/10.
Weight: 162, which is surprising after all the manual labor.
Meals:
Coffee (2)
NutriGrain bar (3)
Skinny roast beef sammich (7)
Coffee (2)
Salad (3)
Half bagel w/ham and cheese (4)

TOTAL POINTS SO FAR: 21 (Goal: 25) W00t!
