I'm so excited!!! D got me a Sony CyberShot DSC-U20 for my early birthday!!!! He was laughing so hard at me taking pics for the photoblog with my crappy little Poloroid digicam that he walked up the street before I got up today and bought it for me!! What a sweetie!

I can't get over how teeny-tiny this thing is. Takes great pics, but I could lose it in my purse. NO matter, though. Thta just means I can take it everywhere!

Had a relatively 'net-free weekend. Spent it cleaning house for our guests arriving today. I have to say, I never really talk about hubby here, but I have to give him kudos today-- all weekend he helped me paint, rearrange, and clean until this place actually looks liveable. It's a very good thing.

It's nice to have a man who's so wonderful.

So here's the thing:

I've missed you guys.

I've had some pretty heavy things going on in my life this year, things which basically have changed the face of my entire existence in one way or another. And I haven't really felt comfortable talking about that here, in public, for anyone and everyone to read. More importantly, there are very good reasons why I can't and shouldn't.

And frankly, it's killing me.

Because if you're still reading this, then I've probably known you, or had you as a reader, for long enough that you're probably wondering what the hell happened to me.

Because if you're still reading this, you're probably one of the people whose opinions and love I value enough that I'm going to need your help in the next year.

Because frankly, I need an outlet more in-depth than Twitter and less personal than Facebook.

So here's the other thing:

On March 1st, this blog is getting a makeover. I'll be moving it to a new server, shaking up the layout a little, and converting it to a new CMS, though the site address won't change. The ranting and raving and silliness will stay the same, only there will be some things that I don't want to share with everybody, some things that I may need to share and say, but only within certain circles. I'm tired of keeping it all pent up and I've done that for long enough.

If you're still reading this blog, and you're been a loyal reader or friend or even a long-time lurker, email me at (sassy{at}sassyblonde{dot}net) with the title of this post in the subject line or comment on this post and request an access key. I'd love to have you in the circle.

Til then, I'll be cleaning house and doing some renovation, and I'll see you on March 1st.

UPDATE: So, snow and circumstances being what they've been around here, I'm going to have to ask you guys to wait around a little longer, which actually ends up being appropriate for a lot of reasons. I've gotten all your emails and comments, and if you can hang tight for a few more weeks, I'll have the next phase ready on April 1st.
