New Look, Same Me

As you can see, the blog is the latest – well, what’s a positive replacement for casuality? – of my recent craving for change. There aren’t really any changes for you, except that you’ll have to click the title or picture for the most recent post in order to read it all. Those of you who get the blog by email are probably lost right now – same ol’ blue title, simple type for you. But if you click the post title in your email, you can see the shiny new me.

I’ve been thinking for a while I’d like to have a blog that looked sort of like the pages of an InStyle magazine. I think this one comes close.

I’m a little worried, though, that I’ve already said everything I have to say. Motherhood rocks, I heart Hollywood, I really love the Anne books, and I get all philosophical about life over breakfast cereal and pancakes. Really, every time I write I wonder if that’s the last thing I’ll ever have to say. Every time I find a unique way to say something common I figure that’s the last time I’ll manage that trick again.

It’s pretty cool when inspiration strikes again and I realize I was wrong and then I’m all – That wasn’t the last thing I ever had to say! This is.

So, anyway, here’s the new decor, and I promise to try and fill it with new words now and then. If you’re just tuning in, you might need to know these things about me.

I’m not cool. I use way too many paper towels to be green. I like music, movies, and reading, but I’m not so well-versed in any of it that you’ll be amazed in any way. I love my kids and I usually find that being a part of their lives is the best part of mine. I periodically burst into song, movie quotes, Friends lines, or Things I Learned on LOST. You’ll probably never see a recipe here. And all of my tips about pursuing publication boil down to two words: Keep trying.

My name is Serenity Bohon. And this is Serenity Now.
