Monthly Report – September 2011

Well, I am jumping on the blogging bandwagon with a monthly ‘recap’ post.  Basically after seeing Sherry & Sarah‘s recaps, I realized something…seeing how much you get done in a month can be strong motivation to tackle that to-do list.  And basically I need all the help I can get.  Plus, I figured this way I can combine saying thanks to my sponsors while avoiding that whole awkward open-mouth-kissing thing.  just seeing if you were still paying attention folks 🙂
