You may or may not have noticed that Sarah and the Goon Squad was offline most of Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
You can read me now thanks to the brilliance of Karen Rani.
I mean, did you even know a blog could get a virus? I didn’t. I learned the hard way.
But now we are all better and I feel giddy. Let’s all take a moment to say nice things about Karen.

My traffic has been down lately. WAY down. Like half of normal.
I was starting to think I was boring all of you.
Nope. My rss feed is all messed up again.
Can you all do me a favor?

This is only a test.
If this were a real emergency this would be followed by instructions. Or possibly screaming.
This has been a test of the ohmygoddidIscrewupmyfeedagain? broadcasting system.
Thank you.

They say you learn something new every day. In the last month I have learned several things every day.
For example, if you change blog hosts it can mess up all of your feeds.
Or, if you don’t know what you are doing and you have 20 or so feeds for your blog and then only one works you could easily lose half of your audience.*
*sigh*
My point is that if you are no longer seeing my feed (especially in bloglines) please put this in there:

I miss you.
* Other random things I learned, salad bar does not equal healthy, a three year old boy can make anything into a “shooter” even a feather duster, people watch the tv really loud in the gym next to my hotel room, fast food is unforgiving.

It is the beginning of a new school year and I must be antsy. I am making some changes in my life.
I resigned from Strollerderby this morning. It is sad. I really liked that job, but it just stopped being fun for me. I guess I am on the lookout for a new paying gig, so let me know if you know of anything that is available.
I think I need to start exercising too. That may seem pretty obvious to a normal person, but my idea of being involved in sports is watching football with a beer in my hand. Since I am not about to give that up, I think I need to start walking again. I’m going to start wearing my pedometer (hopefully tomorrow) once again. I’ll let you know if it helps. The last time I tried to do the 10,000 steps a day thing it seemed to work out for me.
I’ve also decided that I am not quite in the position to hire a cleaning service quite yet (a large part of that is due to the fact I just quit a job) so I am going to be making an effort to keep my house in better shape. Hopefully, with the kids going to school three mornings a week this year I’ll have more time to worry about cleaning toilets.
It feels good just to say these things out loud. (Or type them out loud?)
Since I have spent most of my life living in Florida I am just getting used to the whole idea of seasons. Is it normal to feel rejuvenated in the fall?
