Time for a new look and a little introspection

I think its time for a new look. What you say? Haven't you already gotten a pretty radical new look by getting your nose pierced and bleaching your hair blonde? Why yes, yes I have.

But I was talking about the blog's look, not my own.

You might have noticed if you stop in occassionally that the page color seems to change as often as my hair color. I just can't seem to get it right. And the most recent gray was just downright depressing...kind of like the gray in my hair. Ive loved the header that I made (with much mutterings and errors) but its been there, like forever, and we know how I like change. Must be the Sagittarius in me or something. So I'm going to hopefully be changing the look a little in the next few days (take note: this really means in the next month or so.)

Now I'm off to find some tutorials on how to make cool headers because I know there are way easier ways to do it than the crazy-try everything-till-it works way that I did it the first time. And maybe this time I can find something that is probably not copyrighted.

Here's a new addition to my blog that I might or might not keep.

Link for the day. A new blog that I think you should go check out. 'Cause Im all that and you should really listen to me. Ha! (that deserved an actual Ha versus a lol I thought.) It might be a blog that I just discovered but you probably have already been reading forever. Or a blog that I just adore. Or maybe just a post from a blog. Its only going to be one link per post. I love the blogs that give you tons of cool sites to go look at, but lets get serious now, thats just not going to happen.

Todays link is:

Color Me Katie
I love love love and love her blog. It makes me smile. A big ole cheesy grin smile. And I walk away from her blog feeling kind of warm and fuzzy and wanting to sing a little ditty while twirling around like my 5 year old. (Sidenote: My kids love her blog and like me to replay the little clips...alot.)

    But at the same time I sometimes feel like crying. Because, and this is hard to find the correct wording to describe it, I want to feel on the inside like she lives on the outside. And I think once-upon-a-time I did and Ive lost it somewhere. So I guess, for me, reading her blog is a bittersweet experience at times. Sweet because she makes you smile and giggle and that tinge of bitterness that the part of me that responds to that has become a little dampened and lost at times.

Ok, that was a little deeper than just a link to a blog I like. But the house is empty, its just me, and I have the time to be a little introspective. I was feeling a little blah from doing too much yesterday so my mom took the kids to church and I stayed home and watched the service over the internet. Which was nice being able to sit around in my pink comfy robe, drink coffee out of my favorite mug, and listen to God's word in my quiet, peaceful-for-the moment, home.

I wish for all of you a moment like that today. At least a few moments of quietness, peacefulness, and contentment in our usually busy loud everyday lives.
