Friday

I have had a series of problems with my Internet service. It all began when the power flickered and threw the circuit breaker. It took a while to figure this out. Once discovered we restored power and all was fine for a while. then we lost service again. We spent two hours on the phone with a technician. We were not able to restore the service. Then, mysteriously, the service suddenly came back.

Needless to say, I haven't been posting tom my blog in the absence of the Internet service. there isn't much to catch up on other than I have spent some time working on the Earth Angel project and I have been following up with my NPOs.

bzm: Thank you for acknowledging that we have warm weather here as well as cold weather.

Tuesday

I know you would all like to hear about my MPM day but first, I 'm going to tell you about the weather. Here in Minnesota we are very proud of our weather and we like to talk about it a lot. Please indulge me for a minute. Today we broke an all time temperature record--it got up to 97 here in the city. The temp never got that high all year last year. In northern Minnesota, the high was only 40 today and in southern Minnesota the high was 100 today.

I had a good day today, I made lots of follow up calls to my NPOs. I also talked on the training call about Earth Angels. Just to let you know how this works, my Earth Angel, a very special angel, helped me set up my blog so that I can follow other people's blogs. I have never seen anyone else's blog--not because I don't care about other people's blogs, I do. I haven't read anyone Else's blog because up until today, I didn't know how to get in. My Earth Angel helped me get set up so that I can follow other's blogs. Thanks Earth Angel.

If anyone reading this would like some help from an Earth Angel, please contact us. We are here to help you grow your business. If something is standing in the way of you growing your business, we want to help you remove it. Again, it does not have to be an MPM issue--if you need help, we are here to help you.

Lastly, I am happy to say that we made another purchase on our mall today.

Long Monday

I had planned to get some follow up calls in this morning before I went to work but that didn't happen. I also hoped to get my MPM order in--that didn't happen either. Planning for a better day tomorrow.

Also planning to be on the call tomorrow.

Friday Follow up

Today was my long day at work so nothing got done on MPM after work. However, I did get some follow up calls in this morning before I went to work.

Thursday

Had a whole bunch of personal things to do today when I got home from work. There was little time for MPM. However, one of those things was to make a significant purchase from our mall. We did do that tonight. I am still working on my book purchase.

Progress

I am happy to say that I did follow ups with my NPOs today. Unfortunately, one of them has decided to put off taking any action until fall. Their busiest time is in the summer and they don't want to start any new projects at this time.

I have also found a new NPO to work with. I have not done my research yet but I have some good ideas that I think they might like.

Tuesday

Went to an NPO meeting this morning. I participated in their fund raising breakfast. I didn't get to talk to the people I had hoped to talk to. I did however get to cement relationships with three others who will have a say so in the end.

bzm: Thanks for the encouraging words about B&N. I will probably end up there.
