This past week was great. Not from the stand point of this blog, but life. I got an opportunity to dwell in the presence of my parents, which is always a great treat. I respect them on so many levels, now that I have been married for seven years and have two children. My parents are awesome people.
In addition to that, I got to seem my family and friends that I grew up with. I haven’t seem many of them since the summer for a few days. It was great. One of my childhood friends and I have a running battle in NBA Live for the Playstation. Every time we see each other, we get it on. He beat me most of the games we played, but I did get a victory in towards the end. My real victory is catching up with him and just having a good time. There is a comfort level of being around people you have know your entire life that cannot be replaced anywhere else.
As far as my goals for last week on the blog, it just didn’t happen. I was too busy having fun with my boys, my wife, my family, and my friends to even think about any of this stuff. Maybe business can take a back seat in my life afterall. Who would have known? Nevertheless, I had a blast.
This Week
As for the upcoming week, I have some very ambitious goals. However, I am going to keep them for myself. I realize this is going to be another crazy week with me because it is new years in the middle of the week, my wife’s birthday was yesterday, and we DON’T HAVE OUR CHILDREN FOR A WEEK. LOL, I capitalized that because this is the only time of the year we don’t have our children because they stay with my parents during their school break.
My wife and I really take this time to reconnect, have fun, and enjoy each others company. Besides, her birthday was yesterday and there is no way one day will justify the party we want to get down with. LOL, I love that woman.
Anyway, I do have some goals that I will just share. Many of these are background things that have needed to be completed for sometime that I will seek to complete.
1) Build a site for a friend – I had promised a friend of mine that I would put my site design skills to use for them, so I need to get that completed. It has dragged out long enough. Time to finish. The order is for a simple blog that can begin to serve as a presence for an organization. I think I am going to use the Revolution Church theme for them. Will give me a change to get more intimate with this theme and they will be happy with it as well.
2) Write 13 Articles – No, I haven’t completed my goal of 30 articles for my niche site yet. I just have to make a strong push this week. What can I say? The goal hasn’t been reached, but we have a few days to go. You don’t expect me to just give up do you?
3) Edit Picking Comps – This is a product that I produced, but need to update. This is probably going to take longer, but I have to get some quality work in on this project this week. More than likely, I will be slow in my appraisal business, so that time can be dedicated to the completion of this product.
Closing it out.
There you have it, Blog Family. I have a lot of work to do this week, but will make sure I enjoy the moment. This week will see the birth of another year and the excitement it brings. I am bringing in the new year with some wonderful friends at an house party. It should be sweet and filled with friends, fun, beverages, and a good time. I hope you do the same.
Either way, Be safe and prosper!
Good to see you’re back in business! Are you getting paid for the website you are building?
Good luck with the goals(Even if you don’t need luck, I’m sure you’ll do very good) and enjoy your time with your wife man!
Ben.
Ben Tremblays last blog post..What’s cooking for 2009?
Thanks for stopping by, Ben. I think my friend is going to pay me something, not sure and don’t really care. It is more of a favor, but I will take some gas money if that is the case.
I will take the luck and will definitely have fun with the wife. Today, we are going to breakfast, a movie (the new Will Smith movie..forgot name), and then bowling. We both are terrible at bowling, but always have fun trying.
I definitely think the goal of writing a lot of articles is a good one. That is one thing I believe is missing on your blog.
Blog Experts last blog post..How I Gained 200 RSS Subscribers in 2 Days
@ Blog Expert – Glad you are feeling the goal. The problem is the articles I am writing are not for this blog. LOL! I guess this blog is just more of a personal journey, fun, and learning for me. It gives me an opportunity to get comfortable blogging, while learning things that are going to be beneficial on other blogs where I built to earn income.
So the articles I am writing are going on a niche site that I started last month and currently have 17 articles on it. I wanted 30 by the new year, so I have to push to make it happen.
Thanks for commenting and pointing out something to make this blog better. I will look into building more content.
