Changes

I made changes to my blog as promised. But I am not sold. I don't love it. I painstakingly spent hours searching for a new template. I found templates that I kind of liked but nothing that jumped out and said "Pick Me!" Which brought on a lot of unnecessary self-reflection. I hate changes. Just ask Neil. I don't know if it has something to do with my OCD personality but I have patterns and routines and if anything interrupts that, I break down. So changing my blog was a lot harder than I expected. As I looked at template after template, I just kept thinking "but I like what I have now." I am also not one to "try new things" very often. However, I may have to keep changing my blog until I like it. On the other hand, I love blogging not because I am trying to show how cute and amazing I am but I just love to write. I love to be able to write my thoughts and feelings and have people read them. I don't even care if they know me. So why should the design of my blog matter? It shouldn't but I guess on some level it does. Interesting. I guess I have some more self-reflection to do.

I am glad you posted about this. My blog is a constant work in progress. I have no idea how many websites I have milled around for templates. There are lots of people with designs from a certain website, *cough cutestblogontheblock*, but I can't bring myself to use their templates. Somehow it seems that if I am not a scrapbooky person in real life, I should not be that person on the internet. Also, my life is not that cutesy. I have no need for countdowns to cheesy movies or child age counters.
If you find a fabulous website, do let me know. :)
