I put some new shoes on

Paolo is right. It feels so good to put on something new, even if it's the blog who gets updated and not me.

I'd been wanting to do something more than my pathetic Photoshoped header and had my eye on my favorite designer, The Design Girl.

(Although, I think Danielle should change her name to The Kicking Butt and Taking Names Design Girl because that's what she does.)

I found Danielle through Angie's site and thought, "Well, I can't afford her life-changing jeans but maybe I can have the same designer."

So I checked out Danielle's portfolio and loved everything I saw. But even better, she's very committed to philanthropy. Since my heart and professional writing is in non-profits, I love that.

And then.... Danielle had a blog make-over giveaway and I won!

I'm pretty sure Jen thought I was insane when I was staying with her in Dallas. Blurry-eyed, I checked my e-mail at 7 a.m. (because I'm addicted to my Crackberry) and shrieked, "OHMYWORDIWONABLOGMAKE-OVER!!!!!!"

I think that's when Jen sweetly informed me it was only 6 a.m. in Dallas and I should go back to sleep.

Anyways, if you are ever looking for a blog designer, I highly, highly recommend Danielle.

Now my writing just has to live up to the beautiful look. *sigh*

P.S. I think I'm mentally and physically incapable of typing a short post. This was supposed to be a short but gushy post and then I was going to write another post about the mouse in our house this weekend. Yes, another Katie nightmare. To sum it up: we see mouse, Katie stands on couch, Joe: 1, mouse: 0.
