December is busy baby. I may of taken on more than I should of, and at this point wish I had more time to gaze at the tree, but that’s life. Especially life as a freelancer. I am however doing my best to keep things festive and productive… and what’s being productive without a list?

Lets rewind and see how I did this fall based on my goal list I posted here

• Polish up the website portfolio (nope, nothing like failing the first item on the list)
• Update the CV and cover letter (as needed)
• Make David’s halloween costume (Yup!)
• Design the 2015 desk calendars (Yup!) 

• Mail birthday cards to all of my nieces and nephews… even the ones that have already happened… because late is better than never (Yup!)
• Plan more lunch dates (Yes, it was mostly the same date but we went to different places… that counts right?)
• Road trip (Yup! New England)
• Buy a 2014-2015 office-wear cardigan (Here is last year’s) (Nope, still wearing last year’s!)
• Cook more (I think this is a no)
• Bake more (I think this is a no)
• Watch Pitch Perfect (YESSSS and as soon as I saw it, it finally came to Netflix)
• Design and mail the 2014 holiday cards (Yup!)

• Network (I think this is a no)
• Learn how to network (I think this is a no)
• Read more magazines (I have a pile of unread magazines on my coffee table to read over the holiday)
• Run a marathon (I registered!!!) (Yup!)
• Take more pictures with the nice camera (I think this is a no)
• Make marmalade (Yup!)

• Go on a spa date (No!)
• Walk in the park at least once a week (Mostly!)
• Ride my bike more (No!)
• Plan meals (No!)
• Plant some bulbs (No!)
• Go swimming in a pool (Yup! In the states, outside, heated, dreamy)
• Finish my push-up challenge (Yup! Sorry, no video to share)
• Listen to the radio more (No, but I got into podcasts big time!)
• Stay in a hotel (Yup!)
• Start weekly dinner parties (more than before and plans for more and more often which will be updated more on my 2015 list)
• Get some fun new projects or find an amazing new job (lets just say it depends on the day how I feel about this)

I will recap YEAR 2014 at the end of December but am already thinking of things for the New Year. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, start using #nschristmas. It’s gonna be a good one.
