This is what’s going on in my oven right now. Not my idea, but I must say the smell is absolutely orgasmic.
I had the bright idea to try and drink the leftover beer. Only problem is — I don’t drink beer. At all. I hate it. I’ve hated is since the first time I had it during Freshman year of college. I was at a frat party with my roommate. Interesting night. Nasty beer.
One of my 2010 goals is to interact with the folks who are a part of the Brazen Careerist. I love Penelope Trunk and I think the Brazen kids are creative, motivated and absolutely inspiring. Check the site, if you’re not already a member.
In any case, one of the first groups I signed up for when I joined Brazen was the “Monthly Goals Meetup.” I’ve never posted. I’m always way too busy to take some time and come up with monthly goals. (Please catch the sarcasm there)
This month, I’m in, baby and my goals are below:
Personal:
- Rise and shine at 5:45 a.m. at least 2 times a week and at 6:30 a.m. on the other day. Weekends are free days.
- Workout at least 3 times a week…at least 30 minutes each session. Pilates, Jillian Michaels, Jackie Warner…someone help me help this body.
- Eat 3-5 meals a day. I’m horrible at skipping meals and it has to stop.
- 6 glasses of water a day.
Professional:
- This is my website www.greenhouseadvertising.com. See how it has no content? I’d like to get the about us, contact us, service and e-letter sign up information written and posted on the site by the end of the month.
- Start an ongoing list of blog topics for my business blog. At least 10.
- Read and actively participate in the virtual business book club I started this month. We have our first book selected. (p.s. If you’re interested, email me at cultivateideas@gmail.com)
- Obtain one new client.
If you’re reading this, please be advised that I’m starting a virtual book club…yes, we will read business books or books that are somehow related to how to run, marketing, manage a business and creative strategies for leadership etc. I promise it’ll be fun. 3 of us so far, I’d love for 2 more people to join… email me at cultivateideas@gmail.com.
Virtual bc I want to network with people out of my immediate area.
Virtual bc I want to test running the book club through something like GoogleWave.
Virtual bc it’s less pressure.
Virtual bc I think it’s sexy.
I expect emails to pour in after this post.
Does anyone actually use the new search engine Bing?
Count me out. I hate it. Give me Google or give me nothing!
Signed Sincerely,
xox
My email must be broken. How do you explain the fact that I haven’t received in email since 12:45 p.m. That never happens. At this point, send me a tiny piece of spam to promote a sexual product or something about bank funds I need to secure from my long lost cousin, to easy my mind. Otherwise, I look like an insatiable addict clicking on my phone every 10 minutes (read 2 minutes) checking for emails.
Much appreciation. Now, I must go down this delightful sangria smoothie type deal my honey just made.
And my wonderful puppy just ran upstairs, jumped on the bed and did three perfect turns to let me know that he did a big poop outside. Yes Winston, mama is proud. Please leave now….you smell like the outside and you’re WRINKLING the sheets!
Yes, I am about to flip through this MASSIVE Office Depot catalog. I can’t help it. It’s so tempting.
I placed on order with Office Depot last month for a couple of things for the office. Today, I hear BANG BANG BANG at the door and it’s the UPS guy with a package from Office Depot. Did I place another order? No.
As I sign for this mysterious package, I wonder what the hell could be in this box. He hands me the box and I’m shaking it like hmmm seems like they sent me a free book…look at them being all sweet.
I hope the package…it’s a book alright…it’s their 1010 page catalog filled with items they sell. Now WHYYY did you have to send that through UPS and why did I have to stop working to come all the way downstairs and answer the door to sign for a catalog I didn’t request.
Along with the book is a letter from their marketing director and a coupon for $20 off of $100 w/ free shipping on orders of $100 or more.
I am in the market for a printer/fax/copier, but I don’t need this HUGE catalog sitting here tempting me to buy pens, pencils, folders and sticky notes I don’t need.
Damn you, Office Depot. Damn you and you’re sneaky marketing tactics!
You know like “sexy, sexy” the way they say it in the “Doin’ the Butt” song…
Fear not, click here AFTER you read the rest of the post, if you have no earthly idea what I mean.
We moveth on…
Today, one of my clients…send me a text message. Not one, but two. For some reason, I find that a bit odd. I was not prepared for that.
Speaking of texting….do this….
Text YELE to 501501 to donate $5 to help the people in Haiti. Wyclef Jean’s organization is collecting money to assist in relief.
However…
My honey just left the house with Winston. I would post a picture, but I don’t know if that’s appropriate or over the line or whatever you call it when I put all my personal business on my blog.
But he has Winston in his little carrier, with his little toys. He packed him water in a little sippy cup. Yes, a sippy cup. (I had a daycare, so we have things like that still laying around.) He brushed him all nice, put his doggy cologne on. Packed him a treat. And off they went.
And my heart did a melt. Yes, I realize that Winston is a dog…but it’s symbolic of so much more. xoxo <— those are for my honey…not you guys.
Like everyone else, I expect big things for 2010 and I plan to work hard to make them happen. If I have to pull out my hair, dig my nails in some folks or spend long hours making things happen…I’ll do and I’ll do it with a smile. No big weight loss goals or plans to spend more time with family and friends. I don’t have to sit around eliminating people from my “circle,” as it’s pretty tight and already filled with the people who matter most in my life. And to all of you…I love you, even when you piss me off and even when you lie to me.
As selfish as it may sound, I plan to make 2010 only about me. I was going to do an ‘09 wrap up, but it started to seem so forced, so I decided against it. Look at me….starting the year off with good decision making ::high five::
Happy New Year!
