for one thing, i decided that i didn't need to be spending extra monies on a blog that i rarely use. sure, i love typepad, it's super easy to use, very easy to customize, love that it looks clean and professional, but... i never update it anymore. I can't continue to justify paying for it anymore (gotz to save up for a house-- eventually! or a vacation. I'd really like one of those right now...)

Anyways, so here I am! I'm so happy you found/followed me here! In the next few days I'll be updating the look a bit. Please come back!

thanks!
