New Year's Resolution: Dive into Social Media

Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it's twice as onerous a duty.
- John Selden

Yeah, but that's the point this time.
  1. I resolve to keep up this blog, if only to ensure that I continue to locate cool and innovative event ideas from other industry professionals.
  2. I resolve to keep up my other new blog to share my fun gift-locating skills with friends.
  3. I resolve to create a social media strategy (and attempt to maintain it) for the Humane Society of Williamson County in order to learn more about social media and aid my favorite cause.
  4. I resolve to create an interactive online event engagement portal for my company's customers to find out what events we are participating in and where they can find us.
  5. And, finally, I resolve to decorate for the fun holidays this year (Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th of July, My birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas). Any other holiday's I left off?

Delayed Update

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
- Ferris Bueller

The sad truth is that when you work at a large corporation, you find yourself doing email and working during all that time that used to be "spare." So between September and now, I have spent evenings with the baby, put him to bed and then gone back online to work.

But to update the last couple of months, meeting with the European event team was FANTASTIC. They have some great experience and ideas that we can learn from, and we have some great tools and resources that will help them. I'm so excited to be working on a project to bring our colleagues from around the world together.

And yes, the husband and the baby survived just fine without me!

So now back to posting interesting event information, and less droning about myself.
