Hi y'all! I looks like I am going to make 2 posts today. The first is this:

I have decided to join Book Chick City's 100 Books in 2012 Reading Challenge. It's as simple as it sounds: read 100 books this year. Last year I read almost 80 books and i wasn't even aware of the challenge so squeezing in another 20 or so shouldn't be that hard. Right? ;)

Hello everyone! I hope you haven't missed me too much! I've decided to use this blog as my official blog.

I've been a little miffed about this since Christmas. Every time I go to leave the house in sweatpants, I remember my cousin calling them Give Up Pants. At first, I could see his point.
