2011 in Review; 2012 Ahead

Happy New Year!

2011 was a tough year. I lost my job at Morgane Le Faye in January. Made abt 8 months worth of income during tax season 2011 and had around 100 clients. Then started at Chapman Consulting end of May only to lose that job in October. At least I have unemployment for 46 weeks, not bad!

Then I had my second root canal, first root canal in 2011 (first one I had back in 2007). That cost $600 even with dental insurance. Then I got a second root canal in 2011 in December this time costing $1100. In addition to 6 cavities for $175. Not a good dental year.

Then I ended a 15 month relationship that wasn't going anywhere with a guy I was only lukewarm in a state several states away! Yup Davey was totally pointless and akin to being single. What a waste of time and effort!

Then Brandon who finally got the guts to meet me, but that went nowhere either. I do like checking his twitter updates, always a hoot to see him checking into everything. He stopped announcing his whereabouts in recent days, but it's still superfluous!

So decided not to go out with anyone ever again and being single with a dog. Yup that's my takeaway from 2011.

I will try to get to 150-160 clients this year and make enough for 10 months. that along with my unemployment income will set me up until Sept 2013.. And I will try to get to 200 clients for 2013 and be able to survive for the whole 12 months. That's my game plan. No vacations but no 8:30-5:30pm full-time job.

So will move to a new office 419 Lafayette, 2nd Floor February 15 to May 18. Will get new business cards soon.

Bought balcony tickets for Hansel and Gretel Tues Jan 3 at 7:30PM and having dinner at Luce at 5:45PM.

Bought family circle front seats for The Enchanted Island for Sat Jan 28 for 8PM and having dinner at Il Violino at 6PM.

Will get tickets with Emma for Tosca for Jan 21 at 8PM.

Then will do some strength training upper for 45 minutes then going to Zabar's to get a pie tin so I can bake a blueberry pie. Also a pastry cutter, cheese grater, and muffin pan.
