I'm totally like one of those people who clog up the gyms every January for roughly 3 weeks and then never return. Except, I'm clogging up the blogosphere. I'm a Blogger Clogger. I refuse to call this a New Years Resolution (ya know, the me-back-to-blogging business), because really, it was more like a St. Patrick's Day Resolution that I just never got around to.
While we're on the topic of not meeting goals and being utter failures in various ventures, let's discuss an almost-but-not-quite-nice-try-though goal of 2012.
I was going to read 30 books in 2012. They didn't have to be long or heavy; I have no problem with fluffy books. Ladies and gents, I got around to reading 27 books. So close, yet so far away. And just think, if I had read the 50 Shades of Gray trilogy, I would've met my goal. Because I know a list of 27 books (some good, some, well, not so good) is
exactly the kind of awesomeness you were hoping to see on my long-awaited for return to Blogger Clogger status, here it is. I'd hate to disappoint my readership.
