The Old Me Is Returning...

For over a year now, I have not worked in my chosen profession as a registered nurse. I hadn't intended on putting my career on hold completely but that is exactly what happened.

As you may or may not know, opening up a business with my son did not work out so basically I have been running the thrift store pretty much 100% on my own the entire time. While I don't regret for one minute opening up our cute little neighborhood shop, I'd be lying if I said it has been easy. It has caused much stress and dissension between my son and I and also between my husband and I. Yep, it's been a little frustrating to say the least.

I love my little store and the friends and customers I've made have been remarkable but I've felt for quite sometime now that a very important part of my life has been missing. I knew exactly what it was.

So, tomorrow I start back at my old job, doing what I love, and spending time once again with the coworkers and patients that I have missed dearly.

Luckily, my daughter is available this week to cover for me at the store while I work 3 days to get reoriented.  In the future, I will more than likely work one day a week or even just one day a pay period.

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.
