Happy Independence Day, everyone!

I hope you all have your flags out & your grills fired up. :-D

Enjoy the holiday!

I'm getting ready for the RWA conference, of course, so today was my pre-conference hair appointment. No fancy, freaky colors this time, but I did jump feet first into...bangs. I haven't had bangs in ages, but I've been thinking about them for a while, so this time I just said, "Give 'em to me!" We'll see how they look & how I handle them. (I am not a hair styling queen, so just because I've got bangs doesn't mean I'll know what to do with them. LOL)

I also had to run over to the dentist because I broke a tooth. A molar, thank God, so I don't have a giant gap in the front, but still...I was so not happy. Then again, having the tooth filled was a great excuse for a zap of novocaine. Don't like the needle, but I love that buh-buh-buh numbness that lasts for a couple hours afterwards. Call me crazy, but I think it's cool. Of course, once it wears off, you're left with the tingles &--in my case, anyway--a little bit of pain.

Aside from that, I'm still just digging through my closet for clothes, trying stuff on (egads, my very least favorite thing), & making a long, long list of everything I can't live without, even for only a week. That will be my life for a while, so don't expect anything too exciting for the next couple of weeks.

Unless, of course, my new website design finally goes live, in which case it will be very, very exciting. *g*

My web designer has requested that I alert you all to the possibility of a "blackout" here at my website over the next few days. We're working hard to get the redesign of all the pages finalized & to get everything switched over to a new server so we can go live. But that means that there may be a window of time--twenty-four hours, even--when my website will either not be accessible, or it will be, but you won't be able to do anything within the current pages. (That makes sense, right?)

So if you have trouble getting a page to load or click on a link & it doesn't work, you'll know why. I'm also not sure if the changes will effect the blog at all...my ability to post, your ability to access or comment... Guess we'll just have to wait & see.

I'm not sure when this switch will be taking place, though, so know that any time over the next few days to a week, you could run into glitches & such.

But then my new site will be up & it will be gorgeous, & you'll all be so excited & delighted, you won't even remember that the old site was giving you fits. :-D So be patient with us, okay? It'll totally be worth it in the end!
