The Good Life.
I am a professional musician  , worship leader  , small business owner  , songwriter  , aspiring author   and freelance nonfiction writer   with a chemical engineering degree  .

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.

*Check* Goal met. I've been web designing, brainstorming ad campaigns, starting a new guitar student, and meeting with a sound control consultant about really expensive acoustic products for my school. I submitted my lease with revisions to the landlord Monday, and I expect to hear back from them midweek next week as to whether they accept my changes. I've had two attorneys review it, which is expensive as hell, but covering my ass. So... sign a lease next week? Submit drawings the week after? Permits by the second week of July? Grand Opening by the 1st of September?

At this point, I commit to nothing.

*Check* Goal met. I met with Caroline, another potential teacher who has a doctorate in piano and agreed to teach a Master Class and possibly some ongoing adult classes. The night before last, I met an office admin with years of experience in running this exact kind of business. She was laid off by her last employer, so I plan to snag her up. *Thumbsup* We brainstormed for three hours over Max&Ermas cookies and $3 drinks, and that chicky has lots of good ideas. I'm thinking all three of us could do some serious brainstorming and kick-start this biz.

*Thumbsdown* Not last night either. I had a headache all day yesterday. The three hours of $3 Max&Erma specials (Long Island Ice Tea on Mondays) might have contributed. {e:stupid} On the other hand, Keith swears my symptoms sounded like what was going around his office. Either way, it was only a 24-hour problem. I feel much better today.

So we're back to Commercial Property #1, which was a better deal anyway (i.e., cheaper), and in a shopping center with synergistic businesses. Nice to have a little assistance making my final decision - and AFTER I told #1 I was reconsidering #2, which prompted them to fold on a couple sticking points. Moving on. Now we're in lease revisions. I hope to sign it by the end of this coming week.

Is it really only Tuesday?

Gah. Project scope creep... I volunteered to overhaul my church website, and I've been working hours and hours on it since the weekend. It's like that project where you take that single pile of random papers on the corner of your desk, sort half of the pile into ordered piles all over the office, and then getting interrupted in the middle of the project. Now you have thirty piles all over your office instead of one, and they aren't even completely ordered yet, let alone filed away.

My church website is in thirty piles right now.

Okay, so I had a big brekkie with a pecan waffle and bacon (BACON!), two coffees, and Mexican (chips, chips, and more chips, with guacamole, a taco, a cheese enchilada, and a few bites of refried beans) for lunch. Doing GREAT.

The 'rents are visiting for the long weekend. My financial adviser (mom) and I are playing with spreadsheets and accounting software. Took 'rents to see the two commercial spaces that have potential to house my music school. Mom & Dad both have feedback about the spaces, and we've been talking pros and cons since they arrived. Still haven't decided. *Pthb* Gah.

*Bullet*Dabbling in Domesticity  : Caught up.
*Bullet* SEO: {e:double-take} We may have stabilized. I think both sites went down (in ranking, meaning up in Alexa number) a smidge since yesterday. MT.Com was at 1.779 million yesterday, this morning is at 1.782 million, and MochaNotes.Com went from 1.575 million to 1.578 million.... I *think*... unless I'm remembering the numbers wrong, because I didn't write them down yesterday. I wrote the numbers down today (see previous sentence, if you don't believe me), so I should be able to compare tomorrow and be sure of the direction of travel. *Bigsmile*

If they did go down, it would be weird that they both did so on the same day. The sites are completely unrelated, except in my ownership and that they're both hosted on the same GoDaddy account. I could just be losing my mind.

*Check* Goal met. I've been reading one chapter every night. I'm enjoying the adventures of Perseus Jackson, who finds himself routinely mired in a muck of trouble. Rick Riordan does the protagonist conflict thing rather well and is clearly not afraid to inflict bad things on his beloved character. That, my friends, it what it takes to be a good storyteller.
