for anyone that might be interested and does not already know, i am hosting a pampered chef party this friday evening. i’m not usually a huge fan of these types of parties, but there are some pampered chef products that i’ve purchased in the past and absolutely love. they make some products that are definitely worth the money. if you’re interested in attending the party, please let me know and i’ll send you more info. otherwise if you’d like to purchase anything online and have it shipped directly to you, you can do so here and just enter my name as the host.

I think it’s time to reclaim my blog from twitter.  I find that I use twitter a heck of a lot more than I ever thought I would, especially since I’ve got tweetdeck installed on both my iPhone and my computer (so happy they have a decent linux client!) and I’ve got it plugged into facebook as well. So with the new design change for codebitch I think I’ll go with a format change and move to a twitter feed in the sidebar and save my main blog for actual entries.. as in, I may actually post those every once in a while. I love that twitter is super short and fast.. it’s definitely got that instant gratification aspect going for it, but I miss spending time writing things out in detail.  So yeah, let’s see how long this lasts for.  ;)
