Well my goodness, does time fly when you’re a busy busy bee! I can’t believe that January has come and gone! Add to this the fact that school started back up and I’ve got an extra class to teach, I am frankly a little amazed at what did get accomplished:
January Goals
| Inventory and prep for taxes | Jan 31 | 10% |
| Bag for Mary (pitiful, that this comes and goes, this time it shall be done!) | Jan 31 | 0% |
| Laptop bag for my new laptop | Jan 31 | 0% |
| Install and evaluate commenting plugin(s) | Jan 31 | 30% |
After getting my 2 magazine articles out the door, I really focused on the e-course. I had a bit of a problem getting the private website working properly – turns out there was actually a bug in the the plugin that the folks over at Cart66 had to fix – once I figured out that it wasn’t me that was the problem and asked them for help it was Friday before Martin Luther King weekend, so I had to gnash my teeth over the long weekend. The thing is – I had plenty of other stuff to do for the course, but I found it really hard to just put that worry away and focus on something else, so there was some valuable time lost. But once it came together, it came together really fast! I sent my first email out to the people on my interest list Sunday the 22nd and I haven’t looked back! Wooooooot!
I had high hopes that I would have some actual people register for the class, and I am happy to say that they have! I underestimated a bit how to keep orders straight, and get an introductory email to each new registrant, but I figured out a system soon enough. 🙂 Although I had originally planned to start the class on Feb. 1, with getting people registered with an introductory price beforehand, I ended up wanting to have a lesson or two ready for them when they registered, so pushed to get the first 2 sessions up. At the end of the month, I’m elated and exhausted!
So here’s what’s on my plate for next month:
January Goals
| Sessions 3-6 for class published | Feb 28 | 0% |
| Cindy Podcase site | Feb 28 | 0% |
| Commission iPad cover for Danny | Feb 28 | 0% |
| Commission index card holders | Feb 28 | 0% |
| New small pieces, hang in Alumni house | Mar 2 | 0% |
| Inventory and prep for taxes | Feb 28 | 10% |
| Bag for Mary (pitiful, that I am) | Feb 28 | 0% |
| Laptop bag for my new laptop | Feb 28 | 0% |
| Install and evaluate commenting plugin(s) | Feb 28 | 30% |

Wow, you just amaze me! Glad all the little bumps in the road got ironed out for your e-course. I can’t believe how quickly you made that all happen. Best wishes for a Feb filled with love and color.
the powerhouse that is Candy… and you cracked me up with your comment changes on the list item Bag for Mary… Mary is very patient, and that’s a good thing! Candy I hope your new class goes super super well, and that you have as much fun as I’m sure you’re students will. And I’m thinking you are MUCh better at marketing yourself than you think you are. Just sayin’. Have a great February Candy!
