Blast from my past...

today i'm linking up with becky {beautiful mama behind the blog, from mrs. to mama} for a little blogger 411.you know, because sometimes a little oversharing - in a good way - is kinda fun.plus, i'm avoiding the dishes & the laundry at the moment.and, i'm sure there are a few new readers out there {humor me, please}.  1.  how long have you been blogging?  and what got you started on blogging?  has your blog changed? i've been blogging a little more than FIVE years.  my blog0versary was back in june.  my first post sucked. oh, hell, who am i kidding, my first year of blogging sucked!  why did i start blogging?  because i needed an outlet to bitch and typing is SO much easier than writing in a journal.  remember myspace?  yeah, that.  anyways, i "blogged" on my myspace … [Read more...]

this morning, i'm linking up with neely as a way to pimp out my {new & improved} blog.  i recently left blogger for wordpress which means i said goodbye to gfc and, i'm sure, a lot of readers as well {because i'm honestly not sure if people actually started subscribing via rss}.   so, here's some info about me... my name is michelle, but you can call me shell. just don't call me shelly. i've never been a shelly & i don't ever plan on being a shelly. {no offense to any gals named shelly.} {i wish we were still this young! the picture is from 2002.}   i'm married to a goofball named adam. i'll write about our love story tomorrow {so i can link up with from mrs. to mama}. we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary this month. we have two kids - malia & … [Read more...]

everything is still VERY MUCH a work in progress...but what do you think? brea did an amazing job, didn't she?  i'm loving my new look & i'm slowly learning to love my new home.  i'm still working out a few kinks & glitches.  apparently some of you - myself included - are not always able to see the shiny & brand new stuttering shell.  the 404 error, i'm told, has something to do with my domain redirection not being fully propagated yet. so, yeah, um, just be patient please...goodness knows i'm trying to be. if you can see my new blog, i'm  having a very hard time debating whether or not i want to edit my prior posts.  the editing is a bit jacked up due to the move and my anal virgo ways are begging to change things and make blog posts look aesthetically pleasing … [Read more...]
