2016 Goal Recap

Last year I set (a lot) of goals for myself.  Thankfully, we have goal tracker apps nowadays that help me keep track of what I'm doing and not doing and that can help me analyze the data.  As I look over the past year, some of the things I hoped to accomplish were a little inconsistent but present nonetheless.  That being said, if I completed the goal 75% of the time or more, I'm going to say that I accomplished it. Unfortunately, I failed in many areas.  Thank goodness for a new year to start over and try again. Anyway, here's…

I Stole a Bra

Yes, I stole a bra, but let me explain. After my friend and I had enjoyed a light lunch at our new local eatery, we decided to spend a few minutes meandering the shops before carpool beckoned. The sun was out, the sky was blue, the shops were open. All was calm as we wandered from shop to shop. Then it happened. “Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!! I’ve stolen a bra!” I screamed. Having just left the first boutique without splashing any cash, I pushed open the door of our next fashion emporium. Time slowed as I noticed the rather ugly bra dangling from my wrist…

Reading List Review: October-November 2016

This month I was really focused on educational reading as you'll find when review what I'm currently reading.  While I did read quite a few general non-fiction books I also spent a lot of time working through some in-depth marketing books to boost my skills.  They take a little longer for me to read. This month I'm still doing some more educational reading, but I also have one fiction novel to read (*gasp*) as well as several other general non-fiction once again.  A hodge podge.  Well, without further ado... Here's what I read during the month of October & November (click links…
