A Nomad At Heart...

For those of you who know me well, you know where this is going. For those of you who don't, I'll elaborate a bit. My husband calls me a nomad because after a year or so in one house or in one area, I get an "itch" to move. I like change...I thrive on change. If it were up to me, we'd live in a new state each year. (Well, there are states I'd skip...Texas, Jersey, Ohio) But you get the point...

My husband on the other hand is a homebody...the type of person who would be content to live in the same house, in the same state and work for the same company his entire life. We definitely balance each other out in this area. Luckily for me, he is very patient with my regular "need" to rearrange furniture, move pictures around, and paint the walls my new "favorite" color.

All that to say...if you're scratching your head every time you click on my blog and see a new layout, you've gained a little insight into why it keeps changing. This is a free way for me to get my "fix".

Side note: After a couple hours working on this new layout, I asked Joe (excitedly) "Hey babe...LOOK! Isn't this awesome?" And he replies..."You changed it? What was wrong with the one you had before?" Then I reminded him that it was cheaper than a new house or another can of paint and he said, "Oh, I love it!"

Men!

Are you sure Joe wasn't meant to be in the military?!? Amazingly enough I get the "itch" every few years too....this is usually followed by new orders. It sounds like you have found some creative (and fun) ways to fulfill what you need...change.

P.S. Saw the tshirt in person and had to have a good laugh!!

AND I love the new layout!

It's all about balance and yes once and a while us Aquarians get out there and make changes, we just go big when we do :) But sometimes we just need a push from the "changaholics" :)

Is that why Joe's blog hasn't changed since June? ;-)

Looks good Missy! Why didn't I see this when I looked on Friday? Maybe you weren't done with it yet.

Thanks again for the movie, coffee and teaching me knitting.

And by the way, if we do end up moving across the street from you, you CANNOT move! Joe will thank me for that later!

Hey Babe,
I, too, get you and think I know the source of your "itch". Remind Joe - if we hadn't "itched" to move to Maine, well, who would be his balance?
Oh, love the comment about his site not having changed in forever - Laughed out loud and long on that one, Brian.
Also being married to an Aquarian, who has more than once commented, he doesn't walk thru the house at night in the dark - who knows where the couch may have been moved to while his night-owl wife up "getting her fix".

How 'bout them GATORS! (sorry Ron)

Love Mom

OK...but if I'm not moving to Hawaii, you can't go moving out of state either. Just keep changing that blog layout, girl! ;)
