Fall Spruce Up

It is FINALLY starting to feel like fall WOOOOHOOOOO....and of course I work 48 hours this week.  Oh well, that just means more book money.  You may have noticed a few changes around the old blog.  I felt that the previous incarnation of design was a bit wintery and I wanted some COLOR (also I am really liking my shift key today OH YEAH!).  The orange background is inspired by fall leaves and my nephew G-man who LOVES orange.  I have also started going through all of my posts starting with the oldest and sort of sprucing them up, fixing spelling and grammar errors, formatting and link issues, key words, stuff like that. Now that I actually know a bit more on some of the

programming stuff I can at least make them look better.  Reading a lot of my old posts I am tempted to delete or edit a bunch of them as I sound so...new, but I also kind of like looking back and watching my blog develop.  I can't wait for another couple of years to see how far I progress.  Lets see, what else have I done.  Oh yeah  I've added the post "No Apologies" to the main page group because I feel like I reference it a lot and it kind of sums up my views on the blogging/reviewing part of reading.  I hope the changes are to your liking, if not...well it's my blog teeheehee.  But seriously if you have any suggestions let me know.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Impromptu ReDesign

Hello Everybody!  In case you haven't noticed I decided to do a redesign of the blog last night.  Yep totally random, hey even though I have a thousand and one things to do at this exact moment I am going to do a total and completely unnecessary redesign of my own personal blog right NOW sort of thing.  I do that more often then my poor Hubbin probably likes, but what can I say, impulse control issues.  Impromptu upending of my life in big and small ways is not abnormal for me. Once I was having a bad year, yep not a bad day, week or month, a whole entire year of crappyness.  Anyways I had to move back in with my parents and as wonderful as they are it was not something I wanted to do.  I moved into half of a partially finished basement to help take care of my brother who was all broken to pieces (that's a fun story) and it was just miserable.

 So being the completely random person that I apparently am I went and bought purple paint, not just any purple paint, but a deep, rich, dark, awesome purple paint.  Luckily for me my Mamma is an incredibly amazing person and instead of freaking that her 20 something daughter was going to randomly paint her basement purple, got out a brush and helped :-) (she may have just been feeling guilty for passing on the "redecorate when life sucks gene" 'cause I totally got it from her).  Oddly enough transforming that basement corner from a room of gloom to a piece of rich purple heaven actually helped me a lot, it gave me a sense of control, and a space that was completely my own in all the chaos.  Having a space to curl up and read in the few minutes I had between jobs and school was my 15 minutes of therapy a day, and having that space be so utterly mine was the trick I needed to safely escape for a while.  Anyways, I use my need to change stuff around me as a way to control life when it gets crazy, or to make a token change when I feel things are getting to stagnant, or just 'cause I feel like it.  I hope you all enjoy the redesign and feel free to leave me any suggestions or stories on random chaos you have caused just for kicks and giggles.
