two turtle doves...and a screwed up, inconsistent blog...
Happy Holidays!
Yeah, happy, happy. I had plans to go to Chicago & Florida this past week, and spend Christmas Day with my sister & her family on Christmas day (here in WI). Instead, I developed the worst illness known to mankind (at least it felt like it, you know), so I spent the entire week mostly in bed. sheesh. Poor me. I wondered how many others were sick in bed on Christmas... and felt bad, cuz I mean Xmas only happens ONCE every 365 days.... couldn't the illness wait? But... Santa brought me what I wanted... my 'adopted' sister-in-law sent us two of the greatest hand-made ornaments that will mean a lot for years to come... I did get to spend the week with at least one loved one... so all in all, it wasn't so bad. Of course New Year's is yet to come - and an anniversary - in case someone in particular is reading - so it's not all bad.
I also had plans to maintain this blog on a more regular basis. I figured 6, 8 - even 10 months of winter would give me lots of indoor time. But since I've been in Wisconsin, I've been as busy - if not busier - than I was in Florida, Nevada, or Illinois. I'm hoping things slow down a bit soon.
We've had so much snow (much of which has melted the past couple of days), so lots of shoveling. Lots of unpacking, arranging, re-arranging, catching up, etc.
I finally found time to get here and write some things down that I wanted to share... but instead of just doing that, as usual - I decided I wanted a different look. Here I am, hours later, with a blog that pretty much glows in the dark. I'll keep playin with it (probably until I accidentally delete the whole thing), but in the meantime, if yer readin, and there's something that looks hideous to you, please feel free to point it out to me. I like the new "roads" pic... and that's about all. I want dark colors, but then you're stuck with lighter font - which causes extreme amounts of pain to my eyes. So.... back to the html color code charts, I guess.
Hopefully, you're all doing well and having a great holiday season - whatever holiday you happen to be celebrating. And as always, hopefully I'll get back here again soon. I have big personal changes in store for the coming year. Yeah - weight loss - again. And a new job.... guitar lessons (thanks, Santa!), maybe some more piano lessons... back to school.... and a drastic personality change, as well. bwahahahahaha Seriously. I've spent most of my life being "nice", and realized it just doesn't get you too far. So I've been kickin around a couple ideas for a new persona. I think you'll be really pleased! Or really terrified... either way, as long as the new personality affects you drastically, I'll be a happy camper!
Talk soon!
