Champagne and Socks

Since I’m sitting and updating my calendar for 2012 – this time I am hoping to have a system that won’t require that this time next year – I may as well do my year in review. I’m not very good at taking a step back and acknowledging what I *did* do – much better at listing what I didn’t.
