New for 2007

So while Crunchy Husband is totally horrified that I deleted Crunchy Carpets because of 'all that work'....I am ok with it.

I own the Crunchy Carpets URL...I am hoping down the road to set up my own Crunchy Carpets website without the constraints of using a 'free blog' set up like blogger.

I am excited about my community site and want to get that going as soon as possible.

I have lots of ideas and would like to see them at least started for 2007.

Crunchy Husband and I spent an hour last night working on our resolutions for '07 and basically it was to 1)make more money 2) be more proactive in our situation 3) build on our dreams and plans together. Not too bad.

So while I wait for my mighty Crunchy Carpets Empire to form, I think I will have fun with this little blog. I am going to use the 'fresh start' approach to "steal" some cool ideas from other sites....I love that Skittles has special 'theme' days...I think I will try something like that. I already like the Thursday Thirteen thing.

I am trying to get back to reading more, so I think I will try more book review type things too.

Knowing me, there is probably no way I can NOT talk about my family and my kids....but I want to stay away from the 'diary' or 'journal' feel to the blog.

I was finding it too easy to use the blog as a journal and therefore vent or rant about personal stuff based on my 'mood' of the moment and that (IMO) is too personal and too easily misread.

I am a pretty open person, but I think I need to impose some limits on myself.

I am also hoping that if I impose some more limits that I won't spend SO much time on the blog. I was finding that it was easier and more 'fun' to fart around with it and surf all the other blogs instead of doing stuff at home from housework to doing stuff with the kids.

I need to create more structure and discipline for myself. Focus a bit more on my 'real' life.....you know how it goes.

So...I will be here but am going to try to really pace myself.

Hope that all makes some sense.
