The year of me

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

I have been thinking, since posting that last post, of how the past year has gone and what I hope for the coming year. The last year has been a whole lot of working my ass off to get over hurdles while trying to stay sane. Hurdles overcome, I think it is time to take […]

Year in review
