The new digs

So, here we are. Hopefully things will go more smoothly here since my prior template became a PC hater. Yes, it's still Blogger but I am giving a whole new template a whirl and hoping for the best. Keep me posted on crashing issues. I fiddled with Wordpress a bit but it seems I fell to familiarity. I'm keepin' the faith with Blogger and will do so unless problems run amok again.

The new name...it still makes me laugh. If memory serves I owe kudos and copyright notice to Two Kayaks for this one as it was suggested quite a long time ago. I wasn't actually going to do it but then decided it was really oh, so perfect. The header text brings to mind the two things that will be the topic of this blog: one kid and one mom holding a related job. The title intermingles the two. I figure I am G*ogle safe from p*rn seeking hits because the 'target' word is in absentia. Anyhoo, I do not get the least bit wrapped up about the reference and I think it was quite clever of the developer.

Welcome aboard. The best is yet to come! Update your Bloglines and come along for the ride. (I couldn't keep the "jadynjourney"address now could I?) I'm ready for the next chapter, are you?

Love the name. Looks like this chapter is going to be a great read! Thanks for sharing.

Two Kayaks said...

Updated. I wish I could take credit for such a cool name, but I don't think it was me...unless I suggested it in some sort of stupor that I cannot remember.
Purple is the new black. I always knew you were a stylin' chica.

Two Kayaks said...

OMG!! It was K2!!! He came up with it! I knew it couldn't be me. :) I found it

Life with JJ, Starr and Spice said...

I hate to say that I have been a lurker or should I say I used to try to be a lurker on your old blog due to all the crashing and freezing issues. So happy to see you have new digs and I will be visiting often now and even commenting :0)

Please come by and visit me and my dynamic duo!

Vivian M said...

I love it! Looking forward to following your monologues!

JoAnn in NJ said...

This is FABULOUS!

Congratulations and I can't wait to see what the next few months hold for PIPO and her Ragazzi! :)

Tammie said...

Absolutely LOVE the new digs! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

Glomama said...

My computer wouldn't crash; it just took a lot longer than normal to load. Love the name and everything else. You are really getting closer to your LID and I am excited for you. Ike also caused lots of crop for us in lower east Michigan with flooding and basement issues.

Polar Bear said...

I've been working most of the day on something. I'm working my way back to the blogsphere. :)

Have a great weekend -- kelly :-)

EJ said...

Love the new look! I am a long time follower but occasionally comment.

M :-) said...

LOVE the new name. It made me LOL! ... and I'm so glad that I can finally read your blog again. My computer would sit and poop out on me if I tried to visit your other blog. ;-)

So ready to hear news of your referral. It's getting close!!!

Colleen said...

Soooo ready for the next chapter baby! Lovin the new digs. I'm feelin the excitement in the air...all good stuff. Yeeehaw!

Sandwitchedin said...

I started reading your blog when my niece, Abby's Mom, started blogging during her wait. You would comment and I linked to your site to watch your journey. You are so close and I'm excited and thrilled you are so close. A new chapter indeed.

Love your new look. The title made me laugh.

Annie said...

Longtime lurker here. I've gotta say, I think the title is more than apt. "Va" in Spanish and French means "go", and you *will* be going to China soon.

dawn said...

After 4 attempts to get here, here I am and I havne't crashed yet.
Love the new look and we are in this for the long haul with you.
You no visit us any more????

Julia said...

The new title absolutely cracked me up! Very very clever. :-) I'm a new commenter, but an old reader, and so ready to view the next chapter of your journey.

kitchu said...

been out of state WAY up north, LOVING the new digs (and dayum, you are SO clever with the title!!)... gotta catch up on everyone, man are my bloglines BOLD!

Sam said...

Sorry I'm just now getting caught up! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for go with a new blog!!! It popped up as quick and perky as Dolly Parton's boobs in a swimming pool! Everything looks great!!!
