The only reason I'm moving is because Wordpress gives me more freedom to make it look like a real web site. That and I don't have to worry if I talk about a product no one will cite me for abusing the terms of service for the blog.<br /><br />I'd like to enter the bigger realm of blogging. I enjoy it and I want to share what I've learned along the way.<br /><br />re: lottery<br />As usual, we didn't win, but it was nice to dream of all the things we'd do for friends, family and a lot of homeless pets.

I think you are so brave moving to a website, especially with how many people you seem to have commenting on your blog. I'm not sure I could ever move from my blog it feels like a brilliant old friend. lol I hope you got lucky with the lottery, I currently have about 6 tickets I need to check that the hubby keeps bringing home. I always hope that if I wait, I will see they are chasing an unclaimed ticket and that it will be one of mine. No such luck so far though lol. Good luck with the new website, I would like to say I will follow you there, but if it's not on blogger I always struggle to keep up to date with it. Still if I can subscribe to a list, you never know. :)Josshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326304210756061011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-36975750638570136112016-01-14T22:15:14.457-06:002016-01-14T22:15:14.457-06:00Rebekah: I'd been doing a lot of research.

Might be tempted to buy a few for ourselves, though.<br /><br />What would I do with the winnings (if I win)? Buy the condo we saw last summer. Stay in the suites on the cruises we took. Take more cruises. Not worry about book sales. :)<br /><br />I do not get stir crazy being cooped up. I'd rather stay in than go out in that miserable weather. But I managed to kick myself out of the house this morning to go to the fitness center. It was 7 degrees outside, too! Yeah, it was a MAJOR kick.
