DRUMROLL PLEASE

(What did you think I was going to do? Wait for you to do the drumroll?)

Here it is-my newly redesigned site! Not that I prefaced this re-construction w/any kind of announcement or preparation. Heck, I didn't even know it was gonna occur. But the past couple of days have taken a turn for me. As most of you my mom knows, I really enjoy blogging. For some reason, I can find lots more time to devote to typing that I can to journaling w/actual pen & paper. And I can make this site so much more pretty that just a regular journal. And mom, what's my standard for clothes, shoes, purses, etc.??? They have to be PRETTY.

So when I started my blog, it was very simple. I knew nothing-absolutely nada-about blogging. And I was ok with that. But lately, while I've been reading other random blogs working and reflecting on my blog, I've noticed that everyone else's is pretty snazzy. As compared to mine anyway.

So yesterday, I get this idea in my mind (since I don't have enough going on already) that I'm going to take some tutorials or at least read up on how to improve my blog. And I actually did. (It didn't end up on my "To Do" list, then on my "To Do...Seriously" list, and then to my "Do Before I Die" list-yes I do have one.) And thanks to some great tips from some great bloggers, I can now present my random thoughts in a more interesting visual manner. I'm even planning to snap some pics to post and add a few more widgets as I've learned they are termed. I've even learned a little html formatting which should impress my brothers (like they ever read this). :) But I'm quite proud of myself. I really do want to become more technologically literate-at least in the comp department. *Sit down before you read this next sentence.* I even contemplated taking a computer course on some of this stuff at the local junior college. (Unfortunately they aren't offering anything of the sort right now). Can you tell I'm a bit obsessed with this little project??? Which is DEFINITELY not good considering VBS is 10 DAYS AWAY.

And so, to all my friends out in blogland Mom & Dad, here's the new site. Let me know what you think-good, bad or indifferent. What do you like or dislike? What widgets should I add? What should I delete? Is my color combination aesthetically pleasing? What pics do you wanna see? And most importantly, is it pretty???
