I'm baaaaaackkkkk...

Okay. So I know I'm pretty much THE most lamest (double superlative. that is how lame I am.) blogger in the world. And I know you don't want to hear my excuses (even though they are soooooo good). But I'm back! And better than ever (hah, anything is better than what I was posting before... i.e. NOTHING).

I can't say that I've missed blogging. Every time I find a spare moment to get online, I find something more tempting to do. Like watching an episode of Brothers and Sisters (I'm shamlessly addicted to our Netflix subscription), or painting my toenails, or reading another chapter of a good book from my most awesome Kindle... (i love her. i've named her Sophie.)

So come on back, oh faithful and few. And add me back to your bloggy friend lists (is that how long I've been gone... I've actually been banished from people's lists?! Ay ay ay...). I promise I've already got several new posts in the works. Announcements to share. Prizes to give. And it isn't possible without your readership and commentship (is that even a thing?! hm. It is now...).

2010 is a full and busy year, and I'm excited and ready to document it all here on my little space in the web-o-sphere.

Blog update...

Hey all my faithful (five or six) readers!  I just wanted to give you an update on my blog situation.  I have decided to open my blog up to the public (which basically just means you don't need to type in your email addresses anymore to access my blog... woo hoo!).  However, I have noticed that people have started using our "real" names on the comments you leave.  I love, love, LOVE your comments, but for the safety of our family and the privacy we need due to Popeye's career, I need to request that you not do that (unfortunately I do have to delete those comments which include our names... I'm sorry!!!).

Feel free to add us to your blog roll as "Olive Oyl," and for those who already have us, you may need to update your blog roll and add us again so that you can get updates on when I've posted... for some reason it isn't showing up for those who added me back when I was private.  

Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate all the support and kind words you've had for us in the past month!  Stop by again soon for updates on our envelope system, Popeye's job, and an awesome reveal of our fabulous new master bedroom!  Eek!
