Happy New Year!

I am estimating that about half of my readers are looking at this post strangely and thinking that I have lost my marbles.  After all it isn't anywhere close to January 1st, well maybe kinda close but still...  The other half know exactly what I am talking about.  Last night was Samhain which is the end of the Pagan year.    And what a great way to blow out a year with a chance to both talk to your ancestors and to put a smile on kid's face when you give them a treat.

This upcoming year looks to be actually on track.  I did get accepted for one of the @home positions so I should be working out of a basement bedroom before Thanksgiving.  We (my DH & myself) are cleaning up our credit so that we can actually purchase our home.  Thank the Goddess for a good friend that is allowing us to do a rent to own until we can.  

I didn't accomplish all of my goals for last year, at least my personal ones.  I am right on track with my professional goals but slacking on the other side.  I am right on track with my goal for this blog though. I made a commitment to have at least 200 posts by December 31, 2010.  I also have an online shop thru Artfire.  I don't have anything in it yet but I do have it.

Things that I didn't accomplish due to illness and moving are getting pushed forward to complete this year.  I plan on setting up my shop on AF and improving my picture skill even if it takes me 1000 pics just to get a good one.  I also plan on taking some more classes this upcoming year so that I can improve my design skills.  There is actually an online jewelry course that I am interested in.  We shall see about that one though.

Oh a lighter note, did you buy enough candy for all the kids or way too much?  At my house we had way too much as we didn't get any kids.  So I am having to hide it from the hubby.
