It is Wednesday! How can it be Wednesday already????  Okay- honestly here. I have been swamped with trying to re-learn statistics for my advanced research methods class. I think I finally have triggered enough memory and re-learned the essentials for my upcoming exam and research paper.  Needless to say, things like keeping up with the blog have not been on the forefront of my mind. I have oodles of wonderful folks who are ready to guest post for this wonderful meme, but I need to take some time and schedule them! So, for this week.... I'm going to share with you all of the prior posts and links for What Would You Do With It? All of the linkys are still open...
