I've Missed You!!!

Ok, so as some of you may know (some of you may not). I took a small leave from my postings due to severe back problems. I am now out of the hospital, refreshed and as happy and healthy as ever. I am ready and raring to get on with the new year so I thought I'd start with my New Year's Resolutions.
