In addition to my 101 items, the following are a few more highlights from 2012:

previously in my
Meet Monitore Blog.

2) In July we finished the renovations for the Man Cave
3) In early November I went short.... I took the plunge and cut my hair, losing 2 pounds off my head
4) In November I attended the premiere screening of "Lace Bite", the documentary about the Longest Game that I participated in back in August of 2011. I never thought I would see myself on the big screen, but what an honor it was to be part of the documentary and a player in the game. It brought back so many memories. Carmen and Sharron did a wonderful job on this documentary and I urge you to see it if you can. You can purchase a copy of the DVD, which is now available. Click below to link to the website.
5) At the beginning of December, my husband and I treated ourselves to a
VIP evening at the Journey concert (with LoverBoy and Night Ranger). It
was blast back to the 80's.....

I thought I would do much better for #66 on the 101 list: Blog at least once a week.
Looking back, including this post, I have Blogged only 8 times in 2012 but
looking at the list of completed, in progress and added activities, I had a lot
of material I could have blogged about. I anticipate that 2013 will keep me busy on the blog......
Wishing all my Blog readers a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
Cheers!
