A Few Little (but hopefully good) Changes

I am so glad to be back - last week was just what I needed. Although I do have to confess that at one point I tried desperately to get onto the Internet while we camped out in the woods. (By camping, I mean in a cabin. With running water and electricity. None of that Survivor Man stuff for me, thankyouverymuch!) Anyway, Kev discovered the first night we were there that his little modem actually worked at the lake, albeit at such a pace as to make dial-up look like a jet plane.

Did you notice it was my husband who first tried to get online? He had a very important roto baseball trade deadline to meet. So he says.

The next day it was pouring rain, and then the next day promised to be much of the same, so I sat down with my cup of coffee (brewed with the help of running water and electricity) and tried to get online. Which I did. Only I discovered that while I could see just how many e-mails were waiting in my inbox, I couldn't actually read any of them.

And now you know my real reason for not being a camping fanatic.

So after a forced hiatus from the online world, of which I truly am thankful, I have come back fully recharged and ready to go. In fact on Saturday I was telling my cupcake Kristen that I actually woke up feeling productive.

Don't worry. It didn't last very long.

So. I know you are dying to know all about my trip, and I do promise to give details, complete with pictures (yay!), although, to be honest that whole paragraph about me trying to get online pretty much was as exciting as it gets. Really. But you'll have to wait. Just for a day or two. I promise! I actually have a point to this post somewhere in my head. Hang in there with me, 'kay?

Over the next while you'll notice a few changes around here as I do a bit of an overhaul. If you've been here for any amount of time, you'll know I like to change the look of things every now and then. It's not that I don't appreciate the efforts of my fabulous behind-the-scenes Thin Mint who is the genius behind all these makeovers - I do! I'm just discovering I like changing my blog's look about as often as I like changing my handbag. I mean, what girl doesn't need a new handbag every so often? Seriously.

The other change I will be incorporating is less obvious - I'm going to do my best to be a little bit more personal here, assuming you actually want to know more about this crazy, random girl! As my writing opportunities expand, I need a place to just hang out and relax with a cup of coffee, you know? Expect the usual randomness, questionable grammar, run-on sentences, etc. It's what I seem to do best!

One more thing - Books, Blogs, & Brownies: The Book Club will be starting up again in the fall. Any suggestions for a book we could read? I have a few ideas, but I'd like to hear yours, too. Keep in mind the books we read for BBB need to glorify God, since, you know, that's kind of the whole point of why we do what we do.

Now, because I love you, here is a picture from my vacay. Just to keep you happy until I actually write that post.




Yes, I am at the beach. And yes, it really was that cold.

Enjoy your day, Lovelies!
