26 you were a wacky ride

a theme of 26

I have come to the conclusion in my adult life that each year has a bit of life change.

and by a "bit" I mean a dump truck full of new information

and 26 was again, one of those years.

So I turn 27 on Friday.
And let me tell you guys. 27? looking to be incredibly crazy.
but nothing about that yet.
it's not public information :)

So 26.

So here is what I did. I went into my 2011 planner and started in June.
And it was crazy.
