One last word .... moving tomorrow

I'm moving tomorrow. I will take pictures of my new place - post them so you can see it. I am VERY excited.

We took all the plants over to the new place today. We have tons of plants, in fact, a whole truck bed full! I have a few pics of my plants, but certainly not all of them.

I love my plants! Although, I have to say they don't look all that great right now, just going through winter. Even in San Diego we have had some freezing temps and I didn't bring my plants in because I had no place to put them!! So, I do have some work to get them looking great again.

I have plenty of room in the new place to repair, love and make them all amazing looking again.

Increased traffic

Well, I told you a few days ago that I joined MyBlogLog and I have found some GREAT blogs out there, fun to read, lots of pictures (I really need to put in more pictures), great personality. I'll start adding them to my list. But what I've already noticed is the traffic on my site has increased from my fellow MyBlogLoggers!!

Plus, its fun to see how people find my blog from google searches and people really click on the link and come here. THANKS!!

Now that I've been checking out other blogs, I am going to start putting more pictures on my site. I am not going to worry about starting it until after I get moved, but I will start adding pictures, everyday if I can.

Moving this weekend!! Been taking loads of boxes to the new place. I am pleased with the progress and tomorrow night I should have everything packed up that is still sitting around and I'll be ready to go on Sat. Wow, one year here in this little apartment, with the noisy neighbors, the unsupervised kids, the police always in our parking lot sometimes with guns drawn and I won't miss it. I'll definitely post pics of the new place :)

I probably won't write until over the weekend. Oh yea, Anna Nicole Smith died today.....in case you just crawled out from under a rock and haven't listened to the radio, read the newspaper OR watched TV. They still haven't said what happened, but I would probably guess that drugs and alcohol have something to do with it. I guess inquiriing minds will want to know.

Joined MyBlogLog

I was surfing around, looking for perhaps a picture widget or some nice tool for me to add pictures to this blog, when I found this cool community of bloggers - MyBlogLog. It's actually a nice collection of blogs - all sorts of them - all registered and linked into a single place. They have cool widgets and site stat tools to use, plus you can find blogs of all kinds of interest.

I'm still not done exploring and I'll be adding more links to my page, maybe even changing the layout again! The more I look around, the more I feel inspired to write in my blog, post pics and keep my journal alive.
