    My 2011 Blog Goals

    Yes, I call them goals. There is something about the word resolution that drives me nuts. Maybe it’s just too much for me to handle? not sure, but I do know that the word goals makes me feel comfy cozy and confident! 1. Read on my own time. I see people with the goal to “read more”.

Aren’t you the lucky ones? *** Oh my gosh. Let me start off by saying that the original TRON was one of my dad’s favorite movies when we were younger.
