* Sigh * I know! I know! I know! I’ve totally been slacking on posting. I really don’t have a good excuse other than work has been crazy and there has just been very little time left for things other than sleeping and eating. That will change very soon, as I’m planning to not work throughout the holidays. Yep, I’m creating my own personal winter break. Just like it was when I was in college! Throughout and after my much-needed break, I plan to get back in the swing of posting.
To round out the end of the year (well, if we make it there – tomorrow is supposed to be the end of the world after all), I want to share my end of year review and goals for 2013. I’ve started to think through what my goals for 2013 will be, but I’m not quite there yet. I laid out 12 goals last year (pre-blog era) and I’m quite happy to say that I met or exceeded most of the ones that I continued to focus on (there were a few that I de-prioritized halfway through the year, because they were bad goals).
Anyways, while I go and figure my goals out, here are some fun things from the Internets to keep you busy:
