Gotta go to ebay for that kind of gear. :)

Good thing, too, because Sophia’s birthday is in 3 days, and she’s informed us that she would like a helicopter.

Craigslist?

Thanks D, wherever today finds you!

There’s a 1:1 sincere to smarmy balance that must be maintainted.

:)

Wait.. was that not your point?

I just have to tell you guys a funny story that happened tonight. I usually think of Addison Road as a conversation between a handful of us, and sometimes catch a glimpse that the internet is slightly bigger than I realize.

I’ve been playing piano for the same women’s ensemble for over seven years. We are multi-generational and there is a sisterhood between us. Anyhow, we gathered tonight, and I took some pictures. While my camera was out, my friend Sheila scrolled through the pics of my trip down south in May.

I had forgotten that she had met Jon and Deanna Ramsay at a church in Hawaii (RANDOM!), but all of a sudden she was talking about all of you, and it’s because of Addison Rd. It was really tripping me out!

“Really? Deanna won that car? (to her neighbor) This is Mike, he writes beautifully. This is Chad. You should hear how he sings. Is this Gretchen??”

As surprised as I was, the other women couldn’t believe I keep in such contact with my college friends. Yeah, I thought, I actually heard music this morning that Chad and Mike co-created. It was just a part of daily life.

There are others of you that I feel I know and I enjoy your posts/comments.

So, all of this made me thankful for Addison Road.

(kidding!!)

Can it be about anything?

How about another blog survey? Surveys are fun. Well, when they are completed by you guys.

You’re probably already done with the redesign and will launch tomorrow, but it took me a few days to think about it seriously. Sorry.

Google Ads (and there was much rejoicing!)
Others on the Emerging Church (sidebar links)
Author Bio pages (it was fun, now it’s done)
iTunes Free Single (they all seem to … suck)

I actually have no idea what that is … that’s a little freaky.

That is always appropriate. Please email it directly to me … I promise to take good care of it.

I’ll make sure the lighting is really, really good. I want the quivering freckles to be vivid, indeed.

I will take a new picture, Sharolyn. I’m effing beautiful. :)

I like the 3 from the Archives. It’s great to be reminded of well written posts of the past, (Dementape Letters anyone?) as well as goofy and fun ones (Phreaky Phridays- where did they go?). I’m a sucker for the “pretty colors” and pictures so I vote for those. I never like the idea of change, but then I get used to it, and don’t want the new one to change. So I’m sure I’ll adjust again.

After seeing some of the authors recently, I think the author photos need to be updated. Aly has really pretty blue eyes and dark hair which are not evident in the current photo and don’t even get me started on the old Chad photo. I know it only shows a quadrant of his face, but seriously, the guy has lost weight even in his nose!

You could always base the blog color scheme around that awesome new piece of art you have.

Or, you could lose the taglines and just put a link to my site there. Yeah, that’d be cool.

One thing I’d like, is to get email updates when someone posts a comment on an article I bookmark or post on. Some of the forums I’m on do this… though I guess I’ve never seen it on a blog. Hmmm.

If you’d keep the design in the blue family, it’ would match my studio the best when I have it up.
