Happy New Year's Eve

As my last post for 2011, I thought I'd highlight the events of my year:

I began the year in my favorite place in the world, Edinburgh

I began teaching online classes. (I taught 4)

I got a request for a full from an editor (that I'm still waiting to hear back from)

I got a new part-time job (that I love) tutoring and a great 3-month review

I lost 18lbs and won the fitness challenge at my gym

I gained some of the weight back :(

I added more freelance editing gigs to my resume

I turned 40

I got back in touch with several friends from my childhood, including my 1st BFF

I applied for tons of "real jobs" while I continued substitute teaching

I moved out of my condo

I wrote 1 1/2 novellas, 2 full-length romantic suspense stories and revised another

I signed my 1st writing contract 

Tomorrow I'll post my goals and hopes for the new year. For now, I'd like to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year. If you are celebrating the arrival of 2012, I hope you celebrate wisely and safely.
See you next year!
