As Changeable As The Day Is Long

Simplify....
I wanted to simplify since I found that the look of my blog was too overpowering... too busy... too .... well,... much!  Thus, I have this new look.
I also wanted to change some things that hadn't been changed in over a year so all the links to the right have different pictures. I like it...it's me. At least for now.

About this time of the year each year I get this urge to play around with how things look. Most of the time it is the house... I want my house to look great for Christmas so I start pushing and pulling furniture around in an effort to clean up and make things neater.  Well I just did that about three weeks ago so I'm not really in the mood to do it again.... (though the computer really would be better over in the corner of the living room and the TV really would be best under the steps.... and my chair....  well, I'll think about that later.)  Teapot says he will stop coming home if I move the furniture between now and Christmas. So.... I then thought about my hair.... But last year I cut it and though I liked it for a day or two.... well... a day or two just isn't long enough... (I've spent the whole year regretting that change.)

So what on this God almighty earth could I change that would feed my need for change.... "Ahhh," says I.... "the blog." I went to work straight away and this is what I came up with.

In the process it took me several tries to upload the new pictures that you see above and to the right and at first Blogger wouldn't allow me to do it... (they said that I had reached my photo storage limit) but I figured out that if I re-sized my photos that are in storage (all the ones that I've posted since 2008)  then everything would be ok.  I spent two hours doing that. I only got 200 photos re-sized... there's still another 800 or so to go. So I stopped for today.  I really do want to get some of my level 5 homework done. But I really like the look of the blog.... it's different... at least for me.  No photo.. just black and white drawings.... It suits my mood which seems to be grey... the weather is grey... the skies are dark... and I spend approximately 15 hours out of every 24 in the dark. A little blue to perk things up (even though blue is cool) and I'm happy.

In actuality, all this explaining something I can't explain is dumb.... let's just say I'm fickle and be done with it...
I'm likely to change everything back again tomorrow... or not...
