New Home

Phew…You found me. I was starting to panic, thinking maybe I lost you. I am neurotic like that.

So, how do you like the new digs? Pretty snazzy, if I say so myself. Of course, I had nothing to do with it. Didn’t even pick the picture of me you see up in the corner. (And yes, that is me.) I merely handed over the hubby’s mastercard. I’m handy like that.

I’d like to thank Se7en from Blogs Gone Wild! for recreating my kick ass template for me. And tweaking it. And putting up with my whiney emails. And my drunken emails. And the emails in which I swore at him. Or hit on him. Ack. Hanging my head in shame.

But seriously, there is something sexy about a man who knows what he’s doing. This man rocks. He’s acquired a stalker admirer when he clicked on my email. Haha!

I’d also like to thank Tulip for holding my cyber hand and putting up with my whiney emails. And my drunken emails. And the emails in which I swore at her. Or hit on her. Ack. Hanging my head in shame.

So, why the big switch, you wonder?

Simple. I live out in the sticks. I don’t have access to high speed dial-up yet. (I hear it is coming…yippee!) On a good day, it would take me almost 15 minutes of fighting with Blogger to get into my account. On a bad day (yesterday) when I’m hung over and the connection is slow, it takes me up to thirty minutes.

My life is too damn short for that shit!

If I am going to sit at the computer to while away the hours creatively blog, I want to do it efficiently. Hence, the big move.

And now that I will have more time on my hands, I will be able to spend more of it blogging with my children. Instead of having my children sit on the floor by my feet, begging for scraps of attention.

It will also give my son less time to notice the roll of flab that hangs over the waist of my pants, as he sits on the floor by my feet, looking up. Which he did yesterday, while I was VERY hung over.

Suddenly, I felt a poke in my belly. I jumped a bit and looked at him and asked him what the hell he was doing.

He looked at me and cheekily replied I was getting fat and I needed to exercise more.

I told him I exercise lots and that this particular roll of flab was excess skin from having squeezed out three nine pound-plus babies.

He looked me straight in the eye and said “Blogging is not exercise. You have to get off your butt.”

So I did. By chasing him outside and giving him a facewash with the dirty snow.

He’s lucky I feed him.

***Don’t forget to adjust your bloglines, google readers, bookmarks, etc…I know, I know. A total pain in your ass. But I’m worth it. Right?***

    Updating google read, darn lucky I like you to go to all this trouble! ;)

    Welcome to Wordpress!!! :D

  11. Mad Hatter Says:

    Why look at you all smiley and with one of those piercings on display. See? This is me waving a nerdy hello to your smiley face.

    Allrightee, I’m off to update my bloglines. Stat.

  12. Mad Hatter Says:

    Yo, yo. Back again. I might not me the 1st to comment here but I was #1 when it came to updating the Bloglines feed. What’s my prize? I’ll take a kiss on the cheek and an ass-grope. That would be fun.

  13. BlogWhore Says:

    nice digs u got here.

  14. Wendy Says:

    Damn, I am jealous. Why does everyone get the cool stuff before me?

    I have adjusted your majesty. I would, also, like you to know that I had to type my info in to comment. How much can you ask from us?

    Crawling off to sulk in the corner, because I will never, ever be the coolest.

  15. the new girl Says:

    Hey!
    There you are!
    I go away for a few days and you move on me. I love what you’ve done with the place and I love your pic!

    I agree with Slouching Mom, you ARE awful purdy.

    I disagree with your son. I know he’s smart and all, but I’m sure he doesn’t get the finer points of how many calories can be burned by typing really, really, fast. :)

  16. Above Average Joe Says:

    Congrats on the new look.
    He poked you where?
    Then he said what?

    Feed him? He’s lucky you still let him breath!

  17. metro mama Says:

    Damn right you’re worth it!

    Good move.

  18. crazymumma Says:

    darn tootin you are worth it. Maybe someone could hold my damn hand while I try and figure out bloglines.

  19. carrie Says:

    Niiiiiiice.

    Good to see your smiling (beautiful) face finally!

  20. bon Says:

    dude. all that attitude and you’re cute too? y’know, if you ever find Boo is just gone tooo tooo long, i make a mean KD here out east.

    will go change my blog reader and linkies.

  21. Em Says:

    You are most definitely worth revamping my bloglines! Congratulations on the successful move. I’m sure not more than a dozen or so bottles of adult beverage were required. And look…a pic of YOU now. Very cute. I feel like I could just reach right out and touch you. In an appropriate, public-type spot, of course! ;)

  22. deb Says:

    So I guess no million bucks or nude photos for me. Damn! I love your picture. It’s so nice to see who’s talking/writing.

  23. Daisydee Says:

    OMG!! I can take the change. I guess I will have to adjust.

  24. Kristi Says:

    Yes, you are right. A complete pain in the ass to change the info. Thanks a lot. But I’m glad you’ll have more time on your butt, I mean hands, for exercising and other stuff.

  25. stefanierj Says:

    Damn, now my T-girlie-crush is up at full throttle. Yowza, woman. :)

    And I’d follow you everywhere. You think you’re getting away that easy? HA!

  26. CharmingDriver Says:

    By my calculations (don’t ask, it’s the New Math) by first to comment you actually meant 25th so…you know where to send the frillion dollars and nekkid pics!!

    Pretty, pretty blog and pretty, pretty pictures (and thank goodness no more Blogger b/c it gives me the vapors on a regular)!!

  27. Jana Says:

    Moving is exercise. Your new home looks smashing!

    Hmmm… and I thought the mullet guys in pickup trucks in Redneck County chased away all the hot alterna-chicks. Be safe!

  28. Mom101 Says:

    Is there a prize for 27th?

    Your new home looks great. And YOU! So do you! Now I know who to look for at blogher. I was worried I’d just have to lift up everyone’s shirts and check out their backs for awesome tattoos.

  29. Lauren Says:

    Wait a second, you’re awesome AND hot?! I’m wowed. :)

  30. Mrs. Chicky Says:

    Look at you, all legit and stuff with your own URL. You know what this means? Now I’m going to have to do something like this… Because I’m a lemming and I MUST JUMP.

    And? Now when I come here I’m going to have to see your mug staring at me. I told you before, it’s spooky to see you looking at me with that “Comment or I’ll kill you” look. Oh sure, it may seem like you’re smiling but I know what that look really means.

    “I’m waaatching you, suckas.”

    (congrats on the move. love it.)

  31. Jellyhead Says:

    Hi T!

    Your new site is cool, and I love that photo of you looking all gorgeous and smart at the same time.

    You know I’ll be back (again, and again, and again…..)

    :) Jelly

  32. Jean Says:

    Nice set up! Snow, yet? Yuck, but I remember Alberta springs, I guess:)

  33. Ghostrose Says:

    What an adorable child…

    Lovely blog!

  34. Mary G Says:

    Love the new look. I am now doing pasty things with little green and yellow crosses. Yeah, worth it.

  35. Terroni Says:

    Nice digs. It’s good of you to continue to associate with those of us who haven’t yet made it out of the Blogger ghetto. You’re like Jenny from the block–just keeping it real, kicking it with your homies.

  36. Lawyer Mama Says:

    I will adjust the Bloglines. I promise! Love the new site. It loads much faster for me.

  37. Bethany Says:

    Love the new home.

    Blogging counts as exercise. Because I said so!

  38. Nancy Says:

    Dammit, no million for me.

    Guess I’ll just have to work for a living like the rest of the world…

  39. Kimmyk Says:

    I like your new digs. Everyone is bailing on blogger. I can understand yours though. I wouldn’t wait fifteen minutes for it to load either. I’m not impatient, but I gotta draw the line somewhere. I’ll update…

  40. dennis Says:

    man…not even close to being the first post…

    so no naked pictures huh?

    nice new home!

  41. NotSoSage Says:

    Rrowwr. I’m sure neither Se7en nor Tulip minded getting hit on once they saw your pic. And the blue wash to you looks like your looking right into a computer screen saying hello to all of us out here in the blogosphere.

    Hello back!

  42. Maria Says:

    Yes, you are worth it…

  43. Jenni in KS Says:

    I have my own frustrations with Blogger, but I figure that could also be because I haven’t been blogging long enough to know all the tricks. I was surprised by your picture, though. You look nothing like the movie poster–just as perty, but much more friendly and approachable looking. The glasses make you look smart, too, whereas the skimpy outfit and car full of screaming people did not.

  44. Thumper Says:

    My blogroll has been duly edited… Someday I’ll get the nerve to install Wordpress onto my domain and move my chit over there…

  45. MamaMichelsBabies Says:

    Just when I got my stalker self an ass imprint on the couch over there, ya move. Now I gotta start a new imprint here.. and update my blog thingie, and type in all my stuffs again, but it’s alll worth it. Now I can stalk you with the comfortable knowledge that you are moving faster then a speeding snail. Very nice.

  46. jacquie Says:

    Looks great!

  47. Kate Says:

    Well I am way to neurotic to make the relocation from blogger, so thank goodness I have high speed broadband.
    Love the new look, great to see the real you too. Have duly updated linky things and am very sad that I didn’t get here earlier.

  48. gloria Says:

    “I know. A total pain in your ass. But I’m worth it. Right?”

    i chose today to de-lurk.
    seeing as how you have a whole new site and all.

  49. kgirl Says:

    you are SO worth it! congrats on the new digs.

  50. s@m Says:

    I hear your pain. I am currently in midst of a move myself. I’ve had enough too!

    Like the new digs!!

  51. Chrissy Says:

    Awesome!!! Awesome!!! Awesome!!! I am really liking your new space….Redneck?? You sure do not look look like one. You should see what an Alabama one looks like…and no, it not me!!! Hee Hee!! Have a good week and if I don’t blog to ya soon, have a Happy Easter!!!

  52. L.A. Daddy Says:

    Aw, crap. You’re smart, funny, AND you’re cute?! LA Mommy is going to be so jealous… And the nipple ring just sent me over the edge. I’m in full blog crush.

  53. FishyGirl Says:
