Yikes........

Because I don't want to have to see all of what I've got on my to-do list for this year or even this first quarter....(what can I say....lol), I've decided to show the active projects in order to help my focus stay where it needs to be.   Mind you, I'm not saying anything about my sanity here..........  I just gotta keep telling myself that a few minutes here and there spent working on things will make a hug difference in how long something takes me to complete.
