Good morning Minneapolis!
Up and at ’em at my normal time I guess. I was supposed to be at a networking event, but I just couldn’t get out of bed to be there at 7am. I tried though, my alarm snooze went off 8 times. I had a feeling around 5:46 that I was doomed to miss it. So I will have to meet a big group of folks another way I guess.
I have a busy day, going to a client’s house in Eagan and then doing a tour of a business down in Eagan to see if we can do business together. I love finding good partnerships! I have an announcement this Friday that is super exciting btw…so watch for that!
Then it’s off to the office to do mad phone support calls. I have 3 booked today and my intern Hassan is coming in to work on a few marketing ideas we have brewing. Then I believe it’s a good night to take my pup to the dog park. I hope I don’t run into the crazy lady again.
Happy Monday y’all
Woke up today in a pretty good mood I must say. I have a weird calendar this week so far and I’m sure it will just get weirder! It’s networking season, woo hoo! That means I have to be up at the crack of dawn 2 mornings to be out in the far burbs at 7am. I will do it! I just don’t think I will be awake….
I have 3 events booked this week, and 3 next week. The winter blah is over for me and it’s time to get back out there. I will be much happier networking with my new business cards, but they won’t be in for awhile:( boo. I am really excited though to get out there with the new cards! They are shiny black with the new metropolitan logo….they look pretty cool if you ask me.

As I said, it’s Monday am…I am still thinking about going back to bed for a smidge, but I know I will be much happier if I just stay up and get my day rolling. Lots to do this week! Cya!

So folks, as you can see…I’m putting some effort into vamping up my word press. I will be moving my official business website to this format here in a few weeks. I have asked my website wizard to help me through this, so expect a lot of changes in the next month!
I have been adding on pages, organizing old posts, doing a bit of this and that. I really am enjoying it though. Good project for me as I love doing this stuff! I want my new website to be more involved with my clients too, so I can have them post up thoughts and comments.
I’m so glad it’s Friday. I worked my butt off this week and really need a good weekend of bike riding and walking the pupster. My house is clean, so that is done, no cleaning to do! YAY! No big plans but I’m sure something fun will come my way:)
Have a good weekend everyone!
Lisa

Where has this month gone? GOOD GRAVY! All of a sudden it dawned on me taxes are due on Wed and then you have it…half of April is gone. I swear I can’t be missing half months anymore. Maybe that’s a good sign? I’m so busy with this and that…time is flying.
Today is Easter. I told my family we need to just call it what it is…”Ham day” from now on. We are not really into church or any of that, (well, I for sure am not so I should not speak for them all), so we can have Ham Day in a few weekends from now. I can’t go home right yet, my tires on my truck are BALD. And I ain’t kidding. If anyone would like to donate to the “Please help Lisa buy new tires fund” you can paypal me at “info@callthatgirl.biz”
Any size donation accepted!
I’m just super broke as a struggling entrepreneur should be, so as important as tires are…I still have to wait til I have the money. I feel like a 12 year kid saving up for something with babysitting money. The wait is incredible! Once I get tires, I think I’ll drive to Vegas! WOO!
Today I am going out to Ham Day with a friend and we will be eating a ton of pork products at Famous Dave’s for brunch. Their brunch is the BOMBA! nummy!!! Lisa likey! But then after today, the final bad Ham Day of her life….will be the start of Weight Watchers yet again. I have had a few failed efforts in the past, but I am ready this time to give it a good go. I have all the foods stocked and new walking shoes and if you can believe this….a week without any lunch plans. Yikes. Last week I had 4 booked.
Besides the taxman forcing me to do stupid paperwork, I have a good office week planned. Every week is picking up and I am loving the balance of “on the road” and “office” weeks. It’s pretty cool running my own business I must say. AND what is super cool is my intern is back! I adore Lisa the Intern…she is a lot of fun.
That’s all folks, see ya next time!

Morning! I am loving today so far….woke up to good dreams that I don’t remember. I think that’s a good sign when you don’t remember them, but you know they were making you smile as you were sleeping. Today I am meeting with a client at 9:15 to do a computer cleaning and then off to Outback to meet up with 2 rock star Quick Books troubleshooters to add to the team. I am very excited to bring them on and get my clients the fast and affordable support they need.
Then I have another meeting with one of my competitors…to do a small partnership of services. I am so glad I don’t do everything and have room for these partnerships. I will be announcing a pretty big one here in a couple of weeks and that one is faboolous!
Personally, things are going well. I got my new tv from Sears as the older one was lemon lawed. So now I have a 50″ plasma to watch, woo! Life is in order, work is in order, now tonight I am tackling on the gym and getting into gym mode. Working out is not one of my favorite things to do…but I’m doing it tonight! And then whipping up some naughty steak with peppers and green beans. Tasty!
