a personal blog from a lady on fire (in a few ways)
The big day is coming. You know it, I know it. I'm already behind according to my gantt chart. I've put together a quick list (that I will be updating as I go) of what's on my radar as I get ready for G-Day this year. Let me know what you think in the comments …
