No, I did not keep up on my books in 2012 the way I had had the best of intentions to do.

However, in March, I was well on my way to being caught up and on schedule to submit my taxes on time.

Then, we adopted our sweet Levi, and suddenly my best-laid plans were blown out of the water by sleepless nights and days with a lot less time in them for office work. So progress, although it was being made, was a slow ordeal, and I was lucky to be able to devote two evenings a week to the project. Tax Day came and went, and I shrugged my shoulders helplessly. Summer came, but I knew I wouldn't really feel like I was on holidays until those cursed taxes were filed.

So I soldiered on.

And yesterday, finally, they were filed.

Which meant I could finally have my reward: a book holiday with a title that's been calling from my shelf for over five months, now. This morning, I got to start.



See you next week. :-)
