Spring Fever, Real Fevers and Commenting

Today, my husband and I are sick with the flu - not stomach, thank goodness. Just the kind where you ache all over, have a fever, chills, a sore throat and a headache. Not especially fun when you're pregnant and have two kids under the age of three.

But, being ill does have its benefits. I can feel completely guilt-free about ignoring housework today. It takes far less energy to type away at the computer than washing dishes or scrubbing floors do. So - as you can see - I've been having lots of fun with my blog today.

I've been craving color lately. I can't wait for spring to come. I just recently bought a dozen or so seed packets for a salad garden. Not that I know where I'm going to plant them; I just couldn't resist the urge. And I've gotten many new and grandiose plans for decorating our little apartment. Hence, all that energy is just spilling over into my blog.

So what do you think? Honestly. Too loud? Just right? What's your opinion?

Also, I've been curious...who actually drops by this blog? Even if you got here accidentally and don't plan on coming back, I'd love to at least get a "hello" from you. I recently read an interesting and rather funny post over at Molly Piper's blog that I'd encourage you to read also, if you're the type who for some strange reason feels bad about leaving comments on the blogs you visit.

So, with that said, why not just say "hi?"

For those of you who didn't see this post when it first was published, I have since that time changed my layout again. Although I loved my first layout, I agree with some of the commenters, that it was a little hard on the eyes. And, I'll probably change it again before the day is out (today is Friday), because we're all still sick and I don't have energy for much besides the computer and just keeping my kids fed and clean.
