Long Time No Talk!

I have missed you and my blogging days so very much!

It's time I get back into it!

And I intend too!

I'm doing well, just have been working non-stop for over one whole year now!

The thrift store has been so much fun but oh so much work..but I have loved it!

I've have devoted the past 12+ months, 24/7, to this new business but I say it's time to get my life back!

And resuming my blog is one way I plan on doing it!

My New Favorite...

This is my new favorite song and my new favorite duo! So seriously, where have I been?! I'm just now discovering Jack & White!

Ohhh Crap!

I think I've really done it now!I tried to revert back to the old blogger interface and I've pretty much lost my sidebar, wallpaper, etc. I did save the original template but can't seem to copy it to transfer all the info back. I think I'll be making a visit to the Apple store soon!

(Update: Don't know how I did it but I solved the problem. Thank you Lord!)

It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

So here's the question: When did blogger update and change their interface? I've been so out of the loop I didn't even know an update had occurred. I don't particularly like change and I'm not sure I like navigating this new blogger (I've been away from blogging for so long that it may not necessarily be "new" but it's so foreign and new to me.) I'm not finding it to be easy and user friendly!

Do you like the new, updated blogger style?

Is there a way to revert back to the old look and not have to use the updated blogger?

Great Resolutions for the New Year!

Also, do you pick a "word" for the year? I'm still mulling it over and praying about my special, meaningful word for 2012. There are a few contenders at this point.

Happy New Year!

Truly, where did 2011 go? I feel like the year flew by so quickly and that I lost touch with so much that I'm familiar with. One of my goals for 2012 is to get my life back in order. I need to learn how to operate a business yet have a normal life as well. Opening up our store, although extremely exhausting, has been extremely rewarding. Unfortunately, 2011 and my normalcy was lost somewhere in the shuffle.

But...it's a new year and there have been lessons learned! I'm excited to see what 2012 brings for us all!

In the meantime, I am in Hawaii celebrating the new year with my family and relishing our time together. There aren't many times these days that my family unit is together under one roof. This holiday season was good to us in that way!

Happy Happy New Year to all of you! I wish joy, happiness, health, and prosperity for all of us in 2012!

What A Difference A Day Makes...

When we were in Seattle a few weeks ago, we were getting ready to board the bus which was to bring us to the cruise ship when I saw an adorable young couple leave our hotel and sit down outside. I said to my friend Julie "this is a blog opportunity if I ever saw one!"



Yep, that would be her crinkled up wedding dress in her lap, not hanging up nicely in a bag or anything, nope, just walked out of the hotel lugging it under her arm. See it spilling over onto the street!

What a difference a day makes. I bet just 24 hours earlier she would have thrown herself in front of a bus to protect that dress!
