I’ve been titling my blogs by month, being one month behind. October has been especially busy for me and here we are on in November and I’m barely getting out October’s blog. Not that anyone is waiting for it or that anyone really knows about it, but it’s a personal goal of mine to be consistent. I saw this blog idea and it seemed like fun.
