You Like?

Yeah, I like change. You’ve probably noticed. I need change. I crave it. I rearrange my furniture several times a year. I try different hair colors and eye shadows. I grow my nails out occasionally. Sue me.

I thought my old blog template was a bit dark. And I liked that about it, cause I’m a bit dark at times. But I thought the type was too small and hard to read since it was, you know, gray on black. And there needed to be some more white space.

Sometimes I just feel the need to lighten up, if you must know. So I’ll try this blue one for awhile. But don’t get too attached.

If there’s anything consistent about me, it’s change?

Hi,
This blue background looks nice. One of the benefits of keeping a blog is being able to change the template when we need to.
I really enjoyed reading your last post re: gremlins and socialisation. I understand just where you were coming from. Sometimes I’d feel guilty for not exposing my own gremlins to more socialisation just because I’m the sort of person who can do without excessive stimulation myself. But you’re right, there is some correlation between socialisation going up and imagination going down.

Hi Carrie! I like this new one better (not that it matters, but I just thought, you know, FYI and you can do with it what you want), mostly because I’m getting to the point of needing bifocals and since I’m only 45 I’m putting it off as long as I can because I already tried the no-line things and can’t see my hand in front of my face with them, and hate to think of looking like a little old lady with lines in the middle of my glasses, and have a hard time reading small print, especially small light print on a dark background, so (big breath) I like this one better because it shows up sort of large-print-like, at least on MY computer and it’s not a stark black, but more of a soft black. Know what I mean? And I’m with you on the moving furniture thing. Ben comes in the house after work and just laughs. Thank God he’s not blind - I wouldn’t be able to handle keeping the setup the same all the time, as I have imagined my blind pastor’s wife has to do and they’ve been married over 30 years! Can you imagine not changing the rooms around for 30 years??!! Have a great day! Karen

HEY! LOOK OVER HERE!

I moved. You can find me at the gremlin wrangler

Welcome to My Madness

You're probably wondering what this blog is all about. And all I can say is this: There's a quote from Tender Is The Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald that says, "Suppose we don't have any nonsense."

That is appalling to me, since my life is comprised of a lot of nonsense. The nonsense of chaos. This is where I organize that chaos into words, so someone can at least have a laugh out of the deal.
