My big accomplishment for the week has been redesigning my mobile technology so that I can get everything done.  It should be simpler than it is but with phones and mobile broadband, smart phones vs netbooks there’s a lot to work out.  The final resolution is to downgrade the cell phone, upgrade the netbook and add mobile broadband to my cable account.  The end result should be no more unreliable wifi and being able to do everything internet related on the road.  I hope.  I’ll find out in about a week when everything arrives.

Beyond that, I’ve been working on organizational things – the plan is to get back to be more consistent with posting and get the newsletter really up and running.  It’s not exciting or glamorous  but it makes that stuff possible. I’m looking forward to more creativity this week.

Once again I’ve doing a lot of ‘getting ready.’ There are times when I wonder if I do too much of this and I’m sure there are. The two big things this week are to be ready for my meeting with the museum gift shop next week and to have a schedule together for getting everything done in two hours a day. I figured out after a few days that unless I had a clear assignment and knew what I needed to have prepped for each hour I was going to dither it away in finding inspiration.  I think I’ve got that realistically defined and my jewelry is laid out in velvet-lined display trays.

I’ve also edited down all my photos of Yellowstone into the top 10 – just have to write the essay now!

On the personal front I’ve got meals planned for the next month and will spend tomorrow shopping and cooking to get all that in the freezer. I’ve also spent some time analyzing the difference between wanting something to happen out of desperation, the ‘shoulds’ or because you feel it’s the best solution. I’ve noticed that things happen much faster and with better results with the latter so I’ve put some thought into how to reapply that elsewhere.  When it’s coherent in my own mind I just may make a post out of it…

Next week is all about cementing the new routine and getting as much knowledge, if not sales, from my jewelry meeting. Not to mention, figuring out what to wear!
