2013 End of Year Challenge Update


Sadly, a year of failure...on the "Challenges" front. 

But a rousing success otherwise!  I read some really good books and was fairly active on the blog all year long.  And, I was very busy with other things: producing a very successful show, a busy PV year, and a busy house upgrade year!

So, yeah me!  But boo too.

Here's to 2014 being a year more focused on reading and blogging!  I'm not giving up, check out my upcoming 2014 Challenges!
