So, as you can see….things look a little different around here. When I started this site, 5 years ago, I had someone (a very nice someone) set up everything. 

And, after many hours of wanting to throw my laptop out the window and shake my fist at any file ending with .php, here is the NEW BLOG which looks a bit better than the OLD BLOG. I still need to import some entries from the past year along with the archives, which I hope to do this week. One of the cool things about screwing things up, is that you generally tend to right yourself with a little persistence and learn from the experience, although I’m sure I’m not going to feel so new age-y about when I have to wake up in a few hours to go to the gym…Awesome!

One thing that might be of note, is that now you can SUBSCRIBE to the RSS feed, using the little button to on the top right of the sidebar that says “Subscribe!” Yay! (Thanks to the fabulous Milla for letting me know that it wasn’t working before.)

Hopefully everyone has recovered from their Halloween festivities (I was a Magic 8-ball) and has voted. Or is going to vote TODAY. 

Since there is little craftiness in the above and many capital letters and exclamation points, here’s the result of a very short-lived experiment in our house the other week. As you can see by the evil eye, it will never be repeated. After a few minutes, we decided that while quite amusing, the hat was not worth the loss of Bobbin’s dignity. I think Bobbin agreed.
