Moving, hopefully for the last time...

The picture sharing capabilities have convinced me that I want to move my blog one more time. So here's the new address and hopefully the final one. Yep, the new one is free also. (a big plus!)

January 11, 2010, Peace

Today's photo-a-day, taken around 6:30 this morning. Boys off, getting ready for school, after eating breakfast. Pups have been fed and taken out twice, coffee's on and I'm waiting on my honey to join me for a few minutes of peace.

Lots of things going on...

I had a job at the local preschool that I loved, but I couldn't keep...

Went through a hellava lot of emotional upheaval, getting used to a completely new lifestyle and now I'm pushed back into the old one.

We added to our family. (more on this later)

We had a BALL over Christmas break.

Grandma came to visit. (we LOVE when Grandma comes to visit!)

Guh and Umpa were delayed by weather, but we got to celebrate Christmas twice because of it... so that's all good!

And I'm changing my blog's home. Let me know what you think. I hope we're going to like it here...

The best part of playing in the snow...

Is the big cup of hot chocolate afterward!

Why did I never think of this before?

I stumbled on it kind-of by accident. I wanted to crunch these candies up in big pieces... but 5 pulses later in the food processor and I have peppermint flavored sugar! Which isn't what I was going for, but good in all kinds of different ways!

I know, for a fact, that's it's delicious in coffee and low-fat hot chocolate. Safe to assume it'll be yummy in regular hot chocolate too... I bet it would be awesome on top of ice cream! (I don't eat ice cream anymore, so maybe I'll spike Scott's ice cream...) I'm very pleased with myself right now! {giggle, giggle}

What Makes Me Happy!!

All the flowers around my house right now. My honey bought me roses a few days ago and they're still going strong. And my Mom brought me some fall-colored mums when they visited on Sunday. All the colors just make me happy!

I love the fall!!

How do I like smaller pictures?

Ok, now checking to see if I like how the new blog does pictures. Because pictures are a LARGE part of my blog!

Wondering how the text is going to wrap around the picture and how large the image is going to be on the actual post. I don't recall seeing tiny little pictures on Tracey's blog... I can't stand tiny, little pictures that you have to squint to see. Why bother, that's what I say! (maybe it's just me, I probably should be wearing bifocals by now... Whatever...)

I wonder if there's a place to put photo albums and favorite blogs for readers to check out and all the other crap that it's taken me 3 years to accumulate on Typepad? It's almost not worth it to switch, having to learn the whole damn thing over again and start from scratch... UGH!
