thanks, pepper! i like the idea of the list because at the end of the year, i’ll really see all i’ve accomplished. hopefully it will also inspire me to finish up a few of these that have been dragging on for too long.
also, i think the blog envy post was lemongrassstudio’s, not mine. i don’t worry about comparing myself to others, at least not when it comes to blogs.
