Ok, internet that I love so much and by that I mean all the lovelies that read my blog, I have a question. In recent days I have had quite a popularity spike in my stats. And it is a curious thing. And while I would love to believe that the world has FINALLY recoginzed all my greatness and coolness, I think perhaps there could be another reason. Maybe. The referring link is from an uploaded picture of my daughter Sophie from her first swim meet. Like a billion (yes, I mean it a BILLION) people have clicked on that link of The Soph and come to my blog. Hey, now I love a billion (for real, I mean it, a BILLION) people coming to check out my mundane lil' ol' life, but.... really? Where are they all coming from and why? But meanwhile, Hello Italy! (totally wanna visit you!) hello Denmark! (I am TOTALLY Danish - did y'all know that - southern Danish), hello Turkey! (that is a total shout out to this super cool chick whose blog I totally cannot even understand but she illustrates totally cute things and from what I can gather writes about yummy food - so hello to you totally cool Turkish chick!) and on and on. So any of you new people wondering how you came to visit the site of a dog lover, artist, single mom, lover of life kinda chick, kinda freaky scared to death but willing to risk it all to have the life she really wants girl, drop me a comment and let me know how you found me! I TOTALLY am intrigued. How cool is this internet thing! Thank you again Mr. Al Gore! You totally rock!!! ( I love all of you that get that reference by the way.)

Yeah, it's like totally about time. Check back for frequent updates and news!

It's the year of the dog. Need I say more? I have no resolutions. I have no grand sweeping statements about how I won't sleep in anymore or I will reinvent my career. I will just see what each day brings and do with it what I can. Oh, don't get me wrong, I WANT to write all my resolutions down and become rich and famous by year's end, OBVIOUSLY (heh.).... but really I just want to feel like I don't waste alot of time this year, hope to get over my creative block, hope to enjoy my children even more and just appreciate life regardless of what ends up on my plate this year. Let's just say I won't be missing 2005 AT ALL. Here is to a new year and the excitement of having completely no idea what it will bring me. Enjoy the mystery I say.
