Well....I think it's great that there are several Christian alternatives online to MySpace. I never even knew about this till I was informed about "His Holy Space". I had a page there for several weeks, but never entered any blog posts there. I deleted it yesterday....I decided I didn't care for the all-black home page and all the comments and graphics anyone can post to your page. This one separates the comments, which makes more sense to me. After searching in the wee small hours (nothing unusual for this insomniac) for a different site to start a new blog, I decided, at least for now, on this one. Many of the others seem too geared toward teens, but there seem to be people of all ages here. So, this seems to be the right spot so far!

I do have a blog at evergreenrefuge.blogspot.com which was created as my long-awaited home planning chronicle. Now that I FINALLY am in my home after all these years (thank you, Lord), I will be wrapping up that blog after posting a few updated pictures (which has been delayed due to trying to determine whether I can get a camera I already have to do the job or have to buy another). I wanted a new blog to just report on everyday life as time permits, report on what I a currently crocheting, and, God willing, report on my weight loss which I MUST do something about instead of just talking about it. Hearing yesterday that my husband (8 years older and 3 inches taller than me) weighs 10 pounds less than me, though I wasn't surprised, was a wake-up call of sorts. Then last night, the lightbulb went on over my head and said, "rejoin TOPS". I did make some progress when I went there weekly several years ago, due to the accountability factor and the possibility of winning prizes, and just being around others who are likewise fighting the battle (have tried online lists but it's not the same thing). Talked to a lady last night who will be expecting me Wed. evening. Will report back on how that goes.

The only other current news, besides the pretty "keeper" afghan I'm currently working on (burgundy popcorn flowers with green leaves inside peach join as you go squares; there are 7 x 9 = 63 squares) is that I had Valisa cut my hair shorter today than I've worn it in years (the home page pic depicts my usual length). I just felt it was time for a change. The pic I brought her is on hairdos.com, click on "ultra short" (though I don't really feel it's ULTRA short), first page, #1347. I don't know that it looks as good on the girl in the pic as on me, but we'll see what people at church and work think. Rex doesn't dislike it! Well, back to my crocheting!
