    Hello, Em! I'm following your blog and we're friends on Ravelry. I'm k8sx, but I use a lot of bad language on my blog so I'll understand if you don't stop by!

    For 2013 I want to go to the gym more regularly so I'll (hopefully) feel better about my body. Also I want to finish the socks I started for my husband's xmas gift for his birthday. I seem to be doomed to not get his xmas gifts done on time! Then maybe I'll make him another pair of socks and save them until xmas 2013! I'd also like to get my act together enough to do some charity knitting, as well as get my Etsy store off the ground and take the MCAT (and rock it, fingers crossed) to get into med school.

    Wow. It's really a lot when you write it all out. I'd better get crackin'!
