It feels like I've just moved into a new home. And like many new homeowners, I took the immediate moron route, (meaning I had no idea whatsoever what I was doing, at all, but proceeded anyway without even the handbook for dummies) and plunged right into a remodel before I could officially move in. Let me just say, it wasn't pleasant being the only contractor. Profanity was my mental release, AOL journal friends...(Dan and Betty I bow to your Tech savvy knowledge).. were my salvation and as far as I'm concerned HTLM still means Hellish Technically Lame Mutherf'in FUN. Sigh.
It's simple, it's clean, I can live with it and that's about all that matters to me. The pain it took to get here, where I could comfortably write an entry was worth it. I just can't bear to start writing unless everything else around me is just right, be it here, my handwritten journals etc..... And just like my AOL journal, I'll probably never change it from here on out. I'm that boring.

My next mission is tracking down everyone that is being scattered by AOL's winds. (Wishing myself luck on that one)
I would like to get back into the routine of writing, this style, more often. I fear I've let my mind and words pool around my ankles for quite some time now. If there's one thing I've learned about myself, it's that if I don't write constructively, I go a bit stir crazy. Regular thoughts start to interlace with the creative thoughts and that feeling isn't exactly pleasant. It is hibernation season, the time when I hole up inside my home and typically write more, so I'd say I have a fighting chance at sticking to more of a ritual, rather then fleeting fly-bys. I shall see..........
A lot has happened lately, things I should probably process out via written word, but I'll save that for another entry. For now, I just want to post an entry, put a welcome sign on the door and flip off AOL and HTLM one more time........
~It's all good~

I bow to coincidences, Betty and I have been commenting to one another quite a bit lately. (Yes, I do know I need to do more of the pleasantries with email than in comment form *winces and shrugs shoulders*)...So we are honored to side row seats in the one finger wave/salute (raises eyebrow) well deserved in either case.
So more Rebecca? I'd love to read more of you...but yes, I do know your like me in that aspect it's up for debate, mood swing, boredom type rethoric...Gosh yes, I'm full fo it, as if you didn't know already *winks*.
:p Love what you've done with the place, and please by all means don't mention contractors, I'm still in the mood to put someone in cement boots and find a very deep lake. Delighted to see you left your light on for me on the porch. Still trying to figure out how to smile and laugh at the same time...(Hugs)Indigo

Hmmm...I may have to figure out the playlist thing. And borrow some songs from you! :)
Your design is beautiful, simple, yet elegant.
