Challenges

Who doesn't love a good challenge?  It's the first of the year and that means it time to take stock and make some changes.  Challenges are a fun and mostly painless way to do this.  My students love them and always seem to work better when issued a challenge.  I'm hoping this will work as well with me!

The first thing I did was renew my Good Reads Challenge.  (The widget showing my progress is in the sidebar of this blog.)  Last year I challenged myself to read 90 books.  I completed the challenge, but it about killed me!  So of course this year I increased the challenge to 95 books!  I think I must have done this sometime after midnight on New Year's Eve.


  My next and last challenge (not counting my annual lose 20 pounds and keep the house clean dreams) is to participate in the 20 Day Blogging Challenge.  This is the brain child of Kelly Hines who writes the excellent blog In the Trenches.
