I can go in quad-core peace now.

So, whatcha think of the makeover?

Meet my other new friend. I’m so excited to try her out! I got a great deal from psimet.com.

I have a question for all you Internet People out there that are still using the browser Internet Explorer. What are my sidebars doing? Does the right column drop to the bottom? Are the fonts larger than life?

Have I ever mentioned that IE gives me heartburn? If you all would just kindly switch to Firefox, I’d be a very happy girl.

I didn’t really mean to start this blog makeover today, but somehow I did. Please be patient with me, it’s gonna look like crap for a few days until I can get it all figured out. Feel free to share likes and dislikes as it moves along.

Do you remember when I asked if you could do me a favor and do a gravatar thing? Could you do it again? Pretty please? For me. Because I love all you Internet People. I’m not sure why but some of you have lost your gravatars and I love to see your pretty faces next to your wonderful comments.

I don’t get it. It’s wasting my time. Still, I keep doing it.

Stupid twitter, why do you seduce me so? Why? I have better things to do. Like laundry, and drinking margaritas by the pool.

But nooooooo, I have to spend my day making sure I keep up with what everyone else in the entire world is doing.

Isn’t this why we blog? I still don’t get Facebook, but yet Twitter speaks to me.

Yes, I’m sticking with this template – at least for the next few days. Several of you have emailed and asked where to comment. See that bubble to your left? Click it and comment there. Easy Peasy.

Why can’t I just pick a theme and be done with it? So what’s your honest opinion guys? Do you like this one or should I go back to the old one? Or, should I just slap myself and drink some more wine until I don’t care anymore?

You know the one thing I like about Blogger is the little picture of you in the comment section. Well, with the help of the Blogfather, Mark, I was able to get my gravatar plugin working. What’s a gravatar, you ask? It’s that little picture of you that I love so much.

Please, for me, go and sign up for a gravatar, it only takes a minute. Click here.

Thank you!

January 2007

I began video blogging while failing at the infamous master cleanse.

I bought my favoritest t-shirt and talked a lot about my boobs.

I declare my war on organization, which is the only one of my resolutions that stuck throughout the year. I might try the video blogging again in 2008, it was fun while it lasted

February 2007

Michael and I began what will forever be known as “The Knollie Witch Project” and the most beautiful girl in the world got braces.

March 2007

My mother gave me some old photos, and Retro posting began. I also drove all the way to Indiana to run a 5-mile St. Patrick’s Day race with Sister Runner Amy – only to find out they had no green beer.

April 2007

I discover that if you wear too much eye shadow, you’ll gain weight.

May 2007

I entered my name in the NY Marathon lottery. I never win lotteries.

My precious little girl turned ten.

I run the Indianapolis Mini Marathon completely untrained, while in the meantime, Mother Nature builds Donkey a pool in my backyard.

June 2007

I get another year closer to 40. My lottery was chosen for the NY marathon.

July 2007

It’s too hot to handle and a nice RBF meetup.

August 2007

We move into the Knollie Witch Project and I go into withdraw because I spend 15 days without internet. My baby starts 5th grade.

September 2007

Septemberathon takes place in an effort to make up not training for 3 weeks while we move. It was hot, hot, hot. I also ran the Tour de Fleurs 20k and organized my new bedroom closet.

October 2007

I buy my most favoritest pair of boots ever in the history of boots. I love them so much I want to sleep in them.

I love my husband and Kenza is darn scary.

November 2007

The guest bedroom closet becomes my running closet.

I run my fifth marathon in five hours.

I cut off the hair I had been growing out for 2 years.

December 2007

Sister Runner Amy and I run our first half marathon together. My only 5k of the year was run this month and I decide to become Strong Like Helm.

It’s shocking, but Kenza can’t stay a baby forever and I realize puberty is around the corner.

And I finish out the year with an apple and by organizing my pantry, which, actually, is more exciting than it sounds.

I’m working on a new blog template, so things are going to look a little crazy for a while.

And Boring. Very Very Boring.

I joined this year, and I’m not sure how I’ll do considering the first few days I will be in New York. I just like the kitty.

One year ago I decided I needed a place where I could document my workouts and my food online. It seemed a little complicated but I was determined to be the very first person ever to blog their training and nutrition. Go me. A few googles later and I found the Running Chick and the Blogfather. My original idea was not so original AND I was insanely envious. Their blogs were so pretty. So customized. Mine was so plain. So generic. Susan doesn’t do generic very well.

Never in a million years would I dream that I’d be chatting with someone who photographs his ass – or that I’d finally locate my long lost twin. Or even find my very first manservant to carry all my marathon gear. Where else but here could I consume toast and pork daily – and not gain a pound. Or watch my sister’s children grow from across the country. It’s an amazing cyber world we live in, and surprisingly – I am still here. Not much faster but reigning queen of the ever-changing mastheads.

It’s my bloggiversary.

And David, some day when I have my personal shopper at Nordstroms who will lead me to the secret stashes I KNOW they’re hiding from the common folks – I’ll take you shopping with me.
