back in the saddle again....

oooh.  boy.  technically I've been blogging since 2005.  I have been taken a rather extended hiatus (starting in 2007-ish).  I've been kicking around starting back up for a while now, and decided it was the time to do it.  I'm several years older, and gone through a lot of changes in my life, so I decided it was time for a name update and revamp.  Old blog is around but locked up....I haven't decided yet what to do with it.  we shall see.

as far as the big changes in my life.  well.  wow.  I guess the bulk of them were in the last 12 months.  in that time, I got two kittens, got fired, got engaged, planned a wedding, got married and now my husband and I are working on starting a family.  (that last bit of information is a secret, and if you are a part of my family and somehow found me, please please keep it to yourself, as we want to surprise everybody else).  I am really looking forward to once again having a place to document where this crazy ride takes me.  cheers!
