Some Light Housekeeping

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is enjoying a quiet, relaxing afternoon while managing to stay warm all at the same time. It seems virtually the entire country is experiencing colder than usual temps... including those of us here in Texas.

I'm spending my afternoon in front of my fireplace with laptop in hand (or lap.. hee hee!) making some changes to my blog. I think I've got the basic setup like I want it to be, but have some additional changes that I want to put in place over the next week or so.

I'd like to add additional info to be displayed when you click those neat little links across the top (Home, About, etc). I've got additional info that I'll probably display in the sidebars (while attempting at the same time to keep it neat and uncluttered).

I definitely prefer this type of housekeeping to the usual type. No dirty dishwater, no dust, no noisy vacuum cleaner... you get the picture. :)

Any comments or suggestions are welcome... I'd love to hear what you think of the new look.


Have a great weekend and I'll see you back here sometime next week!

A New Look for the Holidays!

So... before we left to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with family I had it all planned out how I would spend this afternoon getting out the Christmas decorations. We would play Christmas music, make hot chocolate, maybe get the house smelling like Christmas with a great stove top poutpourri... you get the picture.

However, here is the reality. I am tired. Don't get me wrong.. we had a GREAT Thanksgiving! But, the thought of pulling all the Christmas decorations down from the attic doesn't sound like such a great idea anymore. I want the day to relax and unwind and reflect.

So, in an effort to relax and unwind while still accomplishing some Christmas decorating, I decided to decorate my blog for holidays. I can sit down and relax, play around with Christmas colors and templates and play the Christmas music while I decorate.

Not exactly what I originally had in mind, but it works for me. And, next weekend, we'll get the rest of the house ready! :)
