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.

Public brunch at Jan 7 Sat at 11AM

Bann lunch at Jan 28 Sat at 12PM

I twisted my ankle slightly last week. Taking 10 days off from running. Will return to spin with Constance Marie Cohen at 9AM at 92nd and Broadway. 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.

BBC! Updates

So the weekly updates have come to a halt. So sorry for those even bothering to read this. I am still doing my own tax business and working out like a fiend.

I am projected to be fine without full-time or even part-time work until September of 2012. So I will look for full-time or part-time work in April after this coming tax season!

I have lost 4-5 lbs. I am currently hovering near 103. Once I weighed 102.4... I want to weigh 95 lbs because I weighed 95 lbs back in 2001 when I was 24 and had a super-crush on Joe, this really hot trainer at NYSC. I googled him and he is still there now as a fitness services manager. His FB pic is with him and this woman, not sure if that's his wife, fiance, girlfriend. I did ask to be his contact on LinkedIn but he has only 4 connections so I doubt he uses it much. He's still hot! Thought he wanted to be an actor. Oh well.

My new craze is Barry's Boot Camp! I ordered a 5-pack for $110. $22 a session instead of $32. I will take some fitness classes at Equinox to prep myself up for the BBC.

I will prolly take it with Joey Gonzalez, COO of BBC. I was contemplating taking Noah's classes but he's not an expert trainer like Joey. Plus he's Jewish! LOL I doubt I will be dating Noah anyways. He did accept my friend request unlike Joey. All of them don't hold a candle to Joe. He inspired me to run the marathon... I am even contemplating tracking down which NYSC he belongs to and re-joining NYSC. Nah. I like not being in any relationship of any kind. As Rachel Weisz character said in Definitely Maybe, "I don't need a guy!" Just his sperm. LOL

I will cut out my hair coloring and manicure expense if I like BBC.

OK nothing else new with me. Nothing to do today or tonight. I spun with RP of Terrier Tri at 85th and Third (four spin classes each day this week in a row!). Will attempt to run 3.4 miles tmrw.

He gave out free Terrier Tri coffee mugs! Not sure why the 85th Street Equinox members are so special. I went to the 63rd St Terrier Tri on Wednesday morning and he didn't give anything out to them!
