Happy New Year Headlines!

After a most necessary break, family reunions, tasty meals, and a great new year spent with friends, I'm back in full effect! Did you miss me? I must admit, it felt odd not posting every day. However, my enthusiasm is renewed and I'm ready to go all-out in 2010. I've got a couple ideas for new projects that I'll share as soon as they get going. Until then, get caught up with this huge pile of headlines!
