Well, it’s been a while, and I do apologize to everyone who’s following “Does My Blog Make Me Look Fat” (aka DMBMMLF). I stopped at lesson 3 and haven’t gone further.

The rest of the lessons are in the wings, but just not up here.

I’ve been a bit on a rollercoaster regarding my working life and unfortunately DMBMMLF has been a casualty. It’s not dead, just recovering.

I’m starting on a new path, involved with a group coaching program with Suzanne Evans, and I’ve let WPChick sort of languish. I need to pick it back up and keep going because I still believe in what I’m doing here. I have a few things up my sleeve with regards to DMBMMLF, a few products and services related to the series, which will be coming out soon.

The other thing that’s been taking my time and energy recently: I switched all my sites over to Fat Cow hosting because it’s what I’m encouraging clients to use. I figure I’d better put my sites there too. It was a painful process moving 15 sites, but it’s finally done! And I have a new idea for a blog post on moving your WP site from one host to another. Look for that soon, too!

One more thing:

If you have a business and can’t afford thousands of dollars for a business coach, here’s the next best thing.

Dave Navarro‘s put together a great series of calls with business coaches such as Naomi Dunford of Ittybiz, Chris Garret, Mark Silver, Pam Slim, Brian Clark of Copyblogger and more.

Twelve excellent teachers in their own right talking with Dave Navarro the Launch Coach on various ways to help you in your business.

You can get the More Buyers Mastermind* for $97 until Friday. Then the price doubles. And 30 days from Friday it triples…

So you not only get 12 calls, but you get transcripts, workbooks and follow-up calls.

An hour with just one of these folks is way over $97, so I suggest you get in now. Lots of solid information you can go back to whenever you need it.

So that’s it for now.

I should probably just say “Office Design” since there wasn’t much of it to begin with…

Today I finally decided to put my biz first and stop working on the living room lounge chair. Great for comfort, not so great for focus and actually getting stuff done.

I have an office, but it was so unusable and unfriendly I never even wanted to look at the door, let alone WORK in there. Not only that, it sort of became a dumping ground.

Something HAD to be done.

So today I threw away mounds of unnecessary papers.

Bought a few paint samples & decided on one (Pale Avocado by Benjamin Moore, if you’re curious).

Whined and complained about my calves hurting so hubs would paint for me after I did the trimming – well…. I didn’t do much complaining. He’s such a wonderful guy he took over without me asking — even in the face of my protests (although those weren’t all that protest-like).

Tomorrow I put the final coat of paint, move everything back and go buy my furniture. From Ikea of course.

This is what I’m getting:

I’ll be sure to post pictures when everything’s in place.

And to further support my sorting, reorganizing and clutter-busting, I’m attending Jen & Charlie’s Work Party on Monday.
