It's been a rough week here at Second Run Reviews. On Sunday, I came down with a head cold that settled into my sinuses. I stayed home from work on Monday and slept most of the day. The congestion moved to my throat and chest and by Thursday, I had completely lost my voice. As a Project Manager it's a little unsettling to not have a voice! I'm feeling better now, but still taking it easy.
I'm trying a bit of a different layout for my Sunday Post this week. Let me know what you think in comments. I thought it was getting a bit text heavy so I'm trying to bring in a few more images. |

I buy an ornament for each of my nieces and nephews every year and give it to them at Thanksgiving so they can decorate their family Christmas trees in December. My favorite part is finding JUST the right ornament for each one!
- And if you haven't seen it yet, here's the trailer for Gone Girl. Can I just say that the song "She" has a whole new meaning when set to this? *shivers*
