monthly goal meetup

October, so sad to see you go.  It was an amazing month.  Our family staycation rocked. I realized just how much I missed the people I see and live with every day.  I get myself so wrapped up in this project and that project that taking a whole week to catch up and enjoy each day with my favorite people in the whole world was fantastic.

October Goals

• web site client - in progress and moving along well
  
• logo design client - completed
• promote custom magnets for the holidays - underway
  
• promote monthly sale & test out renewing Etsy items daily - underway, getting more traffic but no extra sales yet, I'll give it another month of daily renewing to assess.
  
• family staycation - woo hoo! - so much awesomeness!
  
• make Halloween decorations - kids want more spooky stuff! boo,didn't get to create.  oh well we'll try for fall/thanksgiving crafts
  
• reacquaint myself with the gym - YES!  it is great to be back even if it's just 2-3 days a weeks
  
• cook up some real food not all the processed stuff we've been eating lately (I blame it on coupons!) - made a few new dishes, my son E's new favorite dish is ground turkey tacos. 

I accomplished everything I set out to do last month and that feels great.  November is shaping up to be a busy month.  I'm going to take it in stride one step at a time and really try to not alienate myself from the rest of the world. Because really what is the point of that, right?
