		<description>I lost my entire monday to another visit to the hospital, and all my friends are telling me the tension they hear in my voice is me clearly trying NOT to sound like I am way in over my head. 

I feel better when I write and so 2 out of 3 menopause posts are done - my goal for the week and if I write for your project the planning a perfect day perhaps it will remind me - ha!! 

As far as summer, I have tried and tried to be a business woman in the summer and failed miserably. A few tactics/summer policies work for me. I take monday and fridays off - this applies to the why fight it mentality.  I work mornings diligently. ( my teen is usually sleeping until 11 anywho )and I plan. 

June I am travelling, July I am travelling - so that is the plan I am creating for right now.

These posts to you always help me - thank you wendy

		<description>My to-do list:

1.)  Maintain my sanity.

2-9.)  See number 1.

10.) I think I have to write a post about autoresponders for SparkPlugging?  Verify and write.

11.) Write up the remaining 20 days to my tutorial &quot;21 Days To A More Profitable Blog&quot;.

12.) Dynamite laundry room to the tune of Sabre Dance

13.) Worship coffee

14.) Get myself to adult karate sparring so I can enjoy the thrill of being pounded into the ground and getting up for more (very character building it is)

15.) Did I cover sanity yet?  :)

Enjoy,

Barbara

I did it!

Yesterday was a holiday in Canada, but I&#039;ve been flying through some work.</description>

		<description>My to-do list by Tuesday night:

1. Submit ideas to guest blog at a couple of blogs.
2. Record two podcasts
3. Pack for week long trip for DH&#039;s graduation
4. Clean up a little (not a lot to clean up so that should be easy!)

If I don&#039;t get it done - the online stuff anyway - I will have to work while being on vacation! Not fun.</description>

		<description>Happy Anniversary to you guys!  Make sure he sings you a song. :)

Today my goal was to:

Transfer my blogs over to Wordpress and a new blog host (failed).

Write my ten essay goals for Communitrix to hold me accountable for (done). 

Phone conference with Executive Director of Hands &amp; Voices (done).

Meeting with Hands On Company (done).

Convert two new customers (failed).

So tomorrow, I need to tackle that blog transferring stuff again and do some cold calls. 

I&#039;m off to bed, it&#039;s five minutes to midnight!</description>

		<description>My big goal for the day was to write my post for tomorrow about obstetric fistulas.  I am quite proud of myself that I got it done, and I think I did very well too if you don&#039;t mind me saying so here.  Took much longer than expected though.

I still need to do some other networking/marketing things today, catch up on feeds, etc.  

Then for the rest week - more of the same!

Sorry to hear about your day Lori!

		<description>Oh wow - the no coffee throw-down, LOL. I wasn&#039;t a coffee drinker before, but these last couple months, I must have 2 cups to get me through the day, LOL. Hope you get your list done, Wendy!

I just started a 28 day marketing program, so I&#039;m going to be working my butt off on that this week (well this month, but baby steps). I&#039;ve got lots of social networking to do, so that&#039;s top on my list!

For this week, so far, I have 2 proposals to write, as well as following up on a couple proposals I sent last week.

I&#039;m actually caught up on client work at the moment until a deposit check comes in. So it&#039;s kinda nice that I can focus on MY business this week :)

I&#039;m also slowly starting to re-organize my office. No specific goals there, but I want to spend at least 15 minutes a day cleaning up. I&#039;ve let this mess go on for way too long!

My reward if I complete everything is to take advantage of the 3 day weekend, and give myself one of the 3 days completely OFF! With a nap to boot ;)

I hope everyone has a productive week!

		<description>Well, we just got fired this morning so I&#039;m not motivated to do anything but sit here and wonder what the heck we&#039;re gonna do.

1.Today, I plan to go around and hunt for boxes.  
2.Get at least 1 whole room packed, hopefully more with the kids here.
3.Take a nap because the crying has made my eyes puffy.
4.Haul stuff to the dump.
