A New Year; A New Blog

After nearly 3 years of blogging on MySpace, I made the conscious decision to move my blog to the Blogger website. This will allow me to blog directly via Microsoft Word hopefully allowing me to blog daily like I did once-upon-a-time. In addition to the new space, I am changing gears with my blog and am going to give my posts a different feel. I hope that you like the changes that I make and look forward to your comments. Without further ado, let the blogging begin…

It's a lazy day around my house. 2 of my 3 babies are in lying in my bed as I type and I'm watching the wonderful programming of HGTV as usual. Jesse is working so the house is quiet and most importantly impeccably clean. We successfully made it through the holidays and our house survived its first holiday party season. I don't generally like to toot my own horn, but I'm thinking that this house is absolutely gorgeous. I still have a few projects to complete before it is a finished masterpiece, but that's ok with me. Oddly enough, we started discussing building last night at dinner. There are two problems with this scenario. 1.) We just moved here 8 months and 10 days ago, and 2.) Where to actually build. I'm kinda partial to having a house by itself somewhere in the country, yet still on Crowley's Ridge. Having grown up in the flat-land of the Mississippi Delta, I could barf thinking about having to move to another piece of barren, flat, disgustingly ugly land. The gentle rolling hills of Jonesboro provide a much nicer vista and are far less depressing. However, Jesse has fallen in love with a relatively new neighborhood called Plantation Oaks. The house lots are larger than what we currently live on, are outside of the "Jonesboro" yet are technically contained within the city limits, and have the types of houses that we want to construct with our next project. My problem with Plantation Oaks is that is located beside and connects to Ridgepointe. If we are going to live there, why not just move to Ridgepointe and enjoy golf course views. He doesn't want people trampling through our backyard. Oh, well, I don't plan on moving for about 5 years so I'm not going to think about it anymore.

Apparently it snowed quite a bit about an hour west of here this morning. I woke, at 9:30, to sunshine and flurries falling. I would really love to see some snow and to see how Liesel and Taco react to the rare white precipitation.

That's all I've got for today. I'm going to try to keep these blogs shorter than my old blogs became. I also plan to blog tomorrow, so I need to save some topics for then.
