Sunday
Good afternoon. Seeing as I'm a little bored with how my blog looks, and since I haven't really done much with it in a while, I'm trying a new theme to see how I like it. Besides finding a new look, I've been reading a couple of new blogs that I'd like to share, unless you've already found them, but they're pretty terrific, I think!
Kate Smudges
Kate is all about gardening, stenciling, knitting and writing. Beautifully written, excellent pictures of her flowers and gardens, and just a wonderful blog to read.
Love, Elizabeth
Rufus Wainwright, stained glass, silly contests and heartfelt essays on life. She also authors a second blog called Ridiculon. Check it out!
Fabulon
Fabulon has become one of my favorite new blogs to read. It makes me laugh out loud, as do the comments left by others! It's extremely clever, it's fashion, it's design, it's culture, it's gay, it's vintage photos, it's intelligent, it's biting, and it's certainly not for the faint of heart (there is occaisional nudity and references to the gay lifestyle, so if that's not your thing, don't go there). Enter at your own risk, but remember, it's FABULOUS! Fabolun will also lead to you many other wonderful blogs out there on the net which can also be addicting. Again, this may not be for everyone, but with my strange sense of humor and theatrics, it's a winner in my book.
I hope you all are having a great weekend. I have some stuff brewing at school that should hopefully be coming to a head this week - nothing major, just a disgruntled student and her parents. Not to worry. Enjoy!

Looking good! I'll got check out your new addictions!!! :)

Nice look! Thanks for the new links - off to check them out, just when I'd resolved to get my blog reading down to a number that is managable. :)

Good luck with the student. Those things can eat up far too much brain matter with worry.
HUGS!

Love the new look! Hope the thing with the student works out too.

I like the new look, but I found it hard to read. Could be my eyes though, as it is night and my eyes don't like light at night yet (due to the Lasik).
I will definitely have to check out the blogs. There is one I found that is very crafty and she even does wonderful recipes it is called Homespun Living.
Hugs!!!!

The new look is slightly harder to read (gray on black.. always harsh on aging eyes :)
Loooooove Rufus Wainwright. Have you see the youtubes vid of Rufus doing Leonard Coen's Hallelujah? Its.. chillingly beautiful... (just got a chill remembering it!) swooooon. Here I'll link it so you don't have to search: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbQEQltOwM

Thank you for your lovely words about my blog. It was good to hear today, since I've been under the weather the past few days.
I am off to check off the other blogs you mention.
Hopefully, you'll have a wonderful week...and the school matter will be dealt with quickly.
Lytton says hi to Lizzie!

Thanks so much for the link! I'll add you to mine and I look forward to reading the others. Yay Fabulon!!! It always gives me a laugh after a long hard day.

What...the little diva didn't get the starring role?
Lovin' the new look!

Hooray for a change. Tweaking the blog is so much easier to deal with than a bad tattoo. Hope the student will soon be adequately re-gruntled.

Groan...sorry about the student. I remember the fun of dealing with disgruntled parents (used to teach). I'm laughing out loud at Fabulon! Get back to knitting!
