So the hot thing to do on blogs is a year review or something l
ike that. And I definitely can’t be left behind.
This took some work to go back and look things up and I’m not really into doing a lot of work, so read and make me feel better about the time I spent on this post.
Along with “move viewed”, I also slipped in “my favorite” post of the month too…. which sometimes is closer to the least viewed….. haha.
Our “most viewed” of the year was my BRCA Gene post by a lot, with “Why Runners are Really Annoying” in a not so close second.
