i've been playing around with the blog a bit. that feather is up my butt again (as it is each year) to devote time to the blog... "i'm going to make a concerted effort to really be consistent and post often."i've had it in my brain that i need to wait until january and catch the new year resolution wave of momentum, so i have things planned starting next month to go along with that. but i also have this itch to write, to be creative... problem is, i have no idea where to begin. it's kind of the opposite of writer's block. soooo many things have been going on and changing this year and i kind of wish i would have been writing about it all along. if you read my last post, you know the huge change in our lives, and if not, i'll wait for you to go read it...
