I have had a web site since 1997... wow, ten years!  I started getting into it my senior year... and I've always thought it was so much fun.  I'm a dork.  I have had sooooo many layouts, and I went from ridiculous pages full of animations and stupid stuff, to a more refined place that is my creative outlet.  I'm obsessed with the Internet, and I don't know what I'd do without it.  I'm a shop-a-holic, but I prefer shopping online these days... its not easy with a baby in a mall.  I am always finding cool new stuff and good deals, so its fun to post it for everyone else to check out.  I use the links pages as my own references... I go through my page to find what site I'm looking for!  I am very opinionated, so I use this as a place to VENT sometimes.  I used to have an exciting life, and I didn't spend much time on my site during those times... but now I'm a stay-at-home mom, and this is what I do for fun and creative expression ;o)  I'll post past layouts here at some point.  I've had some really good ones!  Now its like I've outgrown my abilities... I want a certain kind of page but I'm struggling to learn the complex design programs.  I can only barely draw, so its not easy.  I take shortcuts... this layout is a scan of fabric blurred!!!!!  I wanted to just get SOMETHING up so I could work on the content.  It needed complete revamping.  I ALMOST ALMOST cancelled my domain and hosting, but GoDaddy decided to auto bill me... although I didn't ever set it that.  I guess its fate that I kept my site :)
