December Goals, Another Update!

Today is the 15th... Almost halfway through the month, and only 10 days until Christmas!!

 I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday spirit, and not letting the stress of the holidays take over.  I know that I have been able to find a lot more enjoyment in the season by focusing on the positive, and just letting things run their course.

 Here is another update on my goals so far this month.... 
1.  Read 4 Holiday Themed Books (I am on books #4 and #5 right now, and one is a beautiful story so far and won't take me long to finish up!)
2.  Send Out Holiday Cards to Friends & Family, by 12/5 (done)
3.  Take a Family Picture, Including the Entire Litter (done x2)
4.  Bake Christmas Cookies (done, and going to bake more tomorrow!)
5.  Create a Rice Krispy Train (still on our list, but hopefully we will be doing this on Wednesday night!)
6.  Holiday Decor Up, by 12/5 (done)
7.  All Gifts Purchased/Made, by 12/9 (ALMOST done... just a few stocking stuffers for my nephews to go!)
8.  All Gifts Wrapped & Separated by Families, by 12/16 (I just finished before typing this post... I even have most of my families gifts at my mom's house already!)
Don't You Wish You had a Wrapping Partner Like Mine!

 9.  Host Family Dinner for In-Laws, December 23rd (I started planning for everything!)
10. Visit The Lights at The Toledo Zoo (I went this week with a friend and his children for their first ever "Lights at the Zoo".... I hope they enjoyed!)


11. Adopt a Family in Need for Christmas (Finalized All Shopping & Delivered Everything on Monday... They celebrated Christmas together yesterday, and from the looks of it, everyone enjoyed!)
12. Enjoy Hot Chocolate at least Once a Week (I have been drinking hot chocolate.... and A LOT of peppermint tea - YUM!)
13. Take Treats to Neighbors with Thank You Notes (I plan to pick up some treats at my favorite bakery, Sugar Plum Sweets, and take these over this week once Sean is in town)
14. Watch 2 Christmas Movies (I watched 4 Christmases this week, and I have a Christmas Movie Slumber Party planned with my bestie on Saturday night!!)
15. Host Holiday Party for my Work Team (Tomorrow I am headed to work to help host a Christmas Cookie party for my team and their kids, and then on the 21st the drinks come out at my house for everyone to show their spirit!!!)
How are your holiday plans coming along?

Giving Thanks, Day 13

Today I am thankful for trade shows and all of the fun stuff that vendors hand out to everyone for free! We had a trade show today for 55 companies in the area.  It was amazing all of the things that were handed out; movie passes, note pads, pens, hand sanitizer, etc.  The things that you can always use, but usually don't want to pay for. My favorite is always note pads.  I love all the different shapes and sizes, and it helps to give me the motivation to start new lists and gives me the goal to work all the way through the stack of paper, before getting bored or moving on to a new idea or set of projects. What kinds of things do you like to get for free?!

Learning about Catering, and Myself!

Last week I was in Las Vegas, attending CaterSource Catering Convention. I learned so many things about myself, my work, and the people that I am surrounded by.  Some good and some bad, but all have helped me to realize more of what I want for my life. Over the last year I have realized how important it is to take the time to make these realizations.  I need to know the my strengths so I can keep them going.  I need to know my weaknesses so that I can work them.  I also need to know my goals.  Even if they are ever-changing goals, I still need to know them.  If I am walking through my days just hoping for the best then I never know if I get anywhere. I have realized that as much as I used to love doing surveys that I have now found them to tedious.  I would much rather be part of focus groups and interviews.  Not only do they make more money for my time investment, but they also do not take constant attention, whether it be daily or weekly.

8 Weeks Later....

I just realized that I fell off the face of the blog world 8 weeks ago!   I was finally starting to get back on track with organizing, cleaning, and work when I just forgot how to manage my time! Over the last weeks I have made so many memories, enjoyed so much time with family and friends, and traveled to Denver, Cub Lake, Cedar Point, and back home again!  I have celebrated my 4th Wedding Anniversary to the man of my dreams as well as my grandma's 80th Birthday!  I have welcomed a great nephew (Jerry) , an amazing 2nd cousin (Brock), and a beautiful little friend (Sirena) into the world!  And last, but not least, I have decided that I am perfectly at peace with my life, no matter what comes my way. Now that July is finally behind us and August is starting anew, so are my new hopes, dreams, and goals!  I will share them as they become closer to reality, and I have a plan of action on how to handle everything. For this month I am hoping to stop in at leas...
