The Idea Market was fun, and it was good to meet so many of my Twitter friends in person (my pink hair helped, as many of them recognized me before seeing my name tag—and even then it was more like, “Hey, you’re bookchiq!”).

One of the exercises was creating an entrepreneurial board game. My group came up with “Make Lemonade”, with the goal of creating a successful lemonade stand (the de facto entrepreneurial venture, right?). The picture is from another group’s “Squirrels with Coal” game, which cracked me up. They did a great job taking some random props and running with them!

As you can tell from my list below, my priority right now is making progress on some of my own entrepreneurial ventures. And even though it’s not in the list for today, my Twitter backgrounds project is moving forward, too; I’m just waiting on some design work.

Most Important Tasks

• Upgrade a theme for a client
• Add three lessons to the blog training course
• Write front-page copy for the blog training course

The reward

Casting Crowns‘ newly released Christmas album (from iTunes). Well, assuming the preview makes it sound good.

P.S. Why is “seizures” spelled “e-i” and not “i-e”? Didn’t they get the “i before e” memo?! And it’s sure not “sounded as ay as in neighbor and weigh”! Hmm. Maybe I need to get out more.

Yesterday went much better than Monday. I got my stuff done, and even did a background for my own Twitter profile.

After work, I went for a mountain bike ride and was pleased to find that despite being 30 weeks pregnant and not having ridden for almost a month (I kind of broke my bike the last time I was out), I was not significantly weaker or slower than last time. Plus there were cookies and Chinese food afterward.

Oh, and did you see my oh-so-clean dresser?

Besides the regular work of the day, tonight I’m going to the Boise Idea Market, which promises to be thought provoking. I’m looking forward to it.

Most Important Tasks

• Email: provide two quotes, answer two questions, and follow up on three projects
• Finish task-management functions for training course
• Come up with an “unreasonable request” for the Idea Market

The reward

What the heck? I’ll try for the candy mold again.
