Preparing...

Isn't blogging SO 2007? 

The face of blogging has been changing a lot these past few years.  Now that Facebook and Twitter have taken over, I've seen countless blogs that I've followed closing shop.  Even my own blogs, both on Live Journal and Blogger have come and gone.  While I like Facebook, it is not quite the same.  You don't get to enjoy good writing or humorous stories in the same way, it's a much more intimate forum and without the ADD-esque feel of the new trend.  I'm old fashioned like that.  And I love, love, love to write.

The break has been good but it is time to jump back on that horse.  Blogging helps me exercise that writing muscle that I need to get strong.  It might become my livelihood again one day.  And looking at what I'm writing right now....well, it's the equivalent of a desperately out of shape woman (hey!  I'm that in real life too!) in need of a strict diet and boot camp.  And on top of that, the picture taking around here has gotten really lame.  What is a blog without photos?  I'm going to dust off that camera and start documenting life again.


That's me at IL State Beach.  I highly recommend you never go there.

So here I am...again.  Simply Spent is officially live.  I'll be here five days a week with either a mug of coffee or glass of wine in hand.  Hope to see you around!

Stay tuned to hear about our exciting and possibly tantrum-filled two year experiment (that would be me, not the kids) that is launching very soon!

And can I just ask people who have been using Blogger these past few months that I've been gone - where in the heck is Spell Check??

  3. Looking forward to reading and seeing you on your journey. I agree, it's a much more intimate way to journalize your thoughts and experiences. Good luck!

  6. Glad you're back. I would check back on your other blog every now and then in hopes of something new. I also used it as a launching pad to the other blogs you posted -- hope you will do that again. By the way, where is WAC-mom?
