It's that time of year, when I leave the blogosphere for a few weeks. I love taking this time to decompress, organize, reflect, and plan ahead. I will also be updating my columns to reflect upcoming events and 2013 reading challenges. If you happen to log on during this process, it might look a bit messy, but rest assured it will be fixed by the first week in January. Plus I'm in freezing Indiana with the family. I want to spend time curling up with a mug of tea, a few cookies, and the boys while watching a movie. I'll be back after the first of the year (tenatively Jan. 6th...) To everyone out there reading my blog, if I don't see you in person...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
