It’s Not 2012…Yet!

December 28, 2011 6 Comments

calendarFor me, the week between Christmas and New Year’s can be a teensy bit angsty. It’s traditional for me to spend this time coming down off my Holiday High™ while simultaneously being overcome with the desire to clean, purge and organize. I’ve got leftovers to pitch, cabinets to empty, household goods to donate and clutter to get the hell out of my house before it makes me completely crazy.

So much stuff to throw away, so little time.

In order to slow time down a bit though, I’m contemplating some of the things I accomplished this year. I’m giving myself a moment to feel satisfied before rushing headlong into 2012. After all, it’s been a pretty good year, and all those chores will wait a few more days. Here’s a brief list for 2011:

    Good for you for having a clean up time in life! I like the way you organize this post, with various accomplishments from the past year, even pumpkin milkshakes. Always something to keep the reader interested.

    Thank you for the guest post you wrote on my blog this past year. May 2012 bring new posts, new ideas, new brainstorming, and new clients.

    That’s awesome about the cleaning rampage, :-) I did that earlier this month, but more will be forthcoming in the next month, too. I get fed up with clutter and junk, too! Thanks for sharing your 2011 highlights, and for the good conversation over the year, and opportunity to guest post. Here’s to 2012!
