These are not resolutions!

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

But there are some things that I would like to do more of in the coming year… Now that I’m not in school full time, along with being a mom, full-time employee and doing enough writing/presenting to qualify as a part-time job, I’m ready to start focusing on things other than school and work.

The demise of FriendFeed?
