“Fish don’t fry in the kitchen, beans don’t burn on the grill. Took a whole lotta tryin’, just to get up that hill.”
But I’m movin’ on up.
Finally.
Just like George and Wheezy, I’ve moved on up. Not to a deluxe apartment in the sky-y-y-y, but here, to my new home at my own little domain.
It’s not quite ready just yet, but it is almost there.
What do y’all think?
Because now we’re up in the big leagues,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby,
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.
Thanks for bearing with me through my break away from blogging. The time away from feeling like I had to post has done wonders for me, as I now feel like I want to post.
And there is a big difference.
I’m excited to be participating in the Big Bloggy Move today, and I cannot thank Heather at Girly Blog Designz for getting this new blog up and running for me. I love it. It is original and fun, simple and clean, and playful! Let’s not forget playful! Just like me!
I kid.
I am neither playful nor very fun, but it is nice to have a blog that is.
Thank you Heather! For helping me, and putting up with me.
I cannot say enough good things about Heather. After all my stress and nervousness about moving to my own domain, it could not have been easier. Heather took care of everything, and despite my 29 emails regarding every minute detail and question, and there were lots, she was kind and helpful and professional in all of our correspondence. I’m sure I’ve got a lot of new things to learn, but Heather really made me feel like I could figure this thing out.
So Tuesday, we’ll start the week, and this new blog, off with a little Pay it Forward giveaway. There will be not 1, but 3, lucky winners! And it could be you.
I can’t wait.
So please change your readers and your feeders and your blog lines and rolls to www.take90west.com so you can come back and visit again.
I’ll be here.
Because I finally got a piece of the pie.
And I don’t even own a drycleaner.

Happy to see you back. Love the new design!
Trying to come up with a witty Jeffersons’ reference. Can’t. So I’ll leave you with this Will Smith quote:
“Now they give it to me nice and easy/Since I moved up like George and Weezie.”

Here via the Big Bloggy move. Nice to meet you and I love your site! Very bright and cheery.
I was thinking as I read your title that at least you weren’t referencing another 1970’s sitcom - (da da DA duh, da da DA da duh duh duh, da da DUH duh…Sanford and Son) Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor sometimes.
