Hello to 'tis only me'

Blogging has not been a main staple in my life. Nor journally, both of which I should do just for my sanity.

Anyways, I used to blog here on blogger. Might have even used the same name as this one. Then I decided that since I have a website that I would go through and put a wordpress blog on it. That currently has about 20 posts dating from 2 or 3 years ago. Like I said, I haven't been faithful to blogging. Now tonight I went through to automatically upgrade it to the newest version and it upgraded alright but the mysql is the wrong version needed. Sure do wish it had picked up on all that before upgrading all the files.

So, needless to say, my blog is now unusable. I cannot log into the admin panel to do a thing, although it does still show up with the posts. I could go through and redownload all the files needed to revert it back to the old version but I am very tired of worrying about something going wrong with it. With that being said...I am back here on blogger. This way all I have to do is blog and the ones that own it can worry about the rest. I'll lose all my old posts; I don't intend to take the time to copy them over here, but none were really all that important anyways.

My middle child, Chris, more or less moved out the first of the year. I say more or less because most of his stuff is still here but he's elsewhere having a lot more privacy than I allow him. As a result, I've been spending a lot of my off-work time rearranging some things. My daughter moved into his room and has been spending time getting it up to her standards and I have been working on mine, going from a twin bed to a nice double. Feels like forever since I've slept in a larger bed. Having lived for far too long in a small two bedroom apartment, I've had to share a room with my daughter. It's great to have my own room again! And no posters on the walls.

Friday I'd gone to the city and stopped in at the Goodwill store in Marion. I've only ever stopped at Goodwill one other time in my life; I believe more in supporting the Salvation Army than Goodwill. It seemed to be providential that I stopped because the night before they'd gotten in a double-size brass bed frame. So, guess who had the good fortune to pick up the beautiful brass frame for a mere $20.38? Me. I love it!! It does take up a lot more of my bedroom space but that's ok. I've missed being able to snuggle down in the middle of a double bed. I'm now spending what time I can sorting through things I've had stored away for years and trying to make my bedroom into an oasis. I can't wait to get it all done.

The other day I picked up the movie Julie & Julia. I hadn't been interested in seeing it when it was in the theater because it honestly didn't sound interesting, though I do like Meryl Streep and enjoyed It's Complicated in the theater. Anyways, I have now watched Julie & Julia twice. I liked it! It makes me wonder if I should do that, the cooking part of it, only making it italian and not french food. I love italian and mediteranian (I realize that I may have totally massacred that word. Blogger doesn't have spell check). I really do need to cook more often. And blog more often. And lose the weight I've put on after quitting smoking. And stop watching so much tv. And....going on and on and on.

There are many other things that I should write about but I think I'll call it quits for now. It's almost 10:30 pm here and I've still some things I want to get done before bed. I work the next two nights and all weekend. This weekend off went way too quickly.

I'll try to get caught up with blogging in the next few days. Maybe journalling too. Have a great night, happy blog readers.

(PS: I may start importing this to myspace, so if you read it in my blog there, you'll understand it better knowing this.)
