re-focusing

I have a lot to say as there is a lot on my mind.  Often when I am out and about and I think all these great things to say yet when I get home, there just isn't time to do it.  Also, many times, I feel I can't say what's on my mind because I don't want to hurt feelings.  Not many folks read my blog and that's ok.  I use it mainly as a journal, but the last thing I want to do is offend someone or hurt someone's feeling.  So much of what I think doesn't get expressed because I'm never quite sure who is reading it.  So, I am thinking of starting another blog that will be strictly private and/or anonymous.  Like a diary.  I need some clarity on things and getting my thoughts out is the best way to think through things, and do it privately is probably best of all.   So I might be irregular with posts here for a bit.  Check back periodically, you never know when I might decide to post a picture or share some tidbit.

interesting blog

Thanks to my sister, I just found Melodee's blog.  I enjoyed her post today Don't Go Changing, if you check it out I think you just might enjoy it.

New Look

I am thrilled with my new blog look.  If you were sitting next to me now, you would hear the excitement in my voice.  I absolutely love it and I have Beth to thank at 2 Bird Designs for her creativity and hard work.  I have played around with different blog theme templates available to the masses and none screamed ME.  Until now.

Incorporating my love of scrabble into the design just makes me giddy.  It's my favorite game and I love it as no two games are ever the same.  If there was a way to make money playing professional scrabble I'd say sign me up!

I toyed with the idea of changing the name from Party of 5 to something more fitting.  After much discussion with the family and penciling out ideas, nothing seemed MORE fitting than Party of 5.  Though we don't all live under the same roof anymore, we will always be a family.  Everyday living on this earth is a celebration of life and it's our PARTY to embrace, enjoy and celebrate. So Party of 5 it is.

I think the overall look is inviting, easy to read and most importantly fits me to a T.  And no one else has this blog design.  I'm unique in a sea of millions of bloggers, which I think is pretty darn exciting.

Curious, what do you think of the new look?

name change

After much thought I have decided that I like journaling and will continue in this format. This blog is not public per say, however, if you know the address you can access it. I originally only gave it out to a hand full of folks. This blog originally started out as a way to keep track of our trip to Europe.

If you would like to continue reading this blog, feel free. If you are new to this blog...welcome. I do like feedback so if you read it, feel free to comment. I like to know what other people think and perhaps it can spark some thought provoking conversation. I intend to write what I'm thinking and how I'm feeling. My intent is not to hurt anyone, piss anyone off, but it's my blog and if you don't like it...DO NOT READ IT. The choice is yours.
