Things of Note:

It’s the last TTT of 2013! And I spent most of last week being lazy in Florida and reading things on the iPad, so it was a doozy of a list for you guys today. I hope you enjoy! Tonight, I’m off to a NYE party with friends to drink champagne and watch movies. 😀 We’ve got a hotel suite away from downtown, so no having to face the drunk crazies there or on the road. My kind of gathering!

Happy end of 2013! What are your plans tonight?
