Look at me!  Look at me!  I’m all pink and sassy and kitchy and stuff!  We still have a few minor kinks to work out with the design…but it’s just about there.  So, let me give you a quick tour:

Obviously the title, The Anomalous Life, has now been given its proper fun-loving font.  I have to give a big shout-out to Joelle at Moxie Design Studios for not only the fabulous design but for perfectly understanding (and capturing) the essence of what The Anomalous Life means to me…fun, stylish, REAL, alive…not depressing, forlorn or lonely.  I may be a thirty-something single woman, but I am living and learning and having a DAMN good time doing it.  Thanks, Joelle, you nailed it, rock star!

Below the title, you’ll notice the new tagline in blue.  I can change this monthly, daily…hell, I can change it each hour if the mood strikes.  And if the urge hits you to send over a tagline suggestion…be my guest (I’ll even give you credit…in tiny, tiny print).

If you want to peruse past blog entries, have at it.  You can do so via the Archive link in the top (horizontal) menu bar or (and I prefer this one, b/c it’s so, so easy) you can click on the pull-down menus in the sidebar links under Past Indiscretions…sorted by date or category.  Check it out, there’s some juicy stuff buried in there!

Need to send me some cyber love, but don’t want the whole world to see your mushy words?  Drop me a line through the Contact link in the top menu bar.  I’ll try to respond with relative speed, unless you’re slamming me…in that case, give me a day or two.  I’ll need time to cut out and stuff your voodoo doll.

To formulate your regular blog entry comments, just hit the little pink text bubble at the end of each entry.  See how simple it is?  Now I fully expect to hear from each and every one of you.  No more hiding in the shadows.  It’s creepy.  You can check out the most recent comments from your fellow readers in the sidebar link titled From the Peanut Gallery or to see comments for a particular entry, hit the aforementioned entry bubble.

Want to see picture evidence of my zany life?  You’ve got two options here as well:  click Photos on the top menu bar, or click on one of the featured pictures in The Papparazzi sidebar link.  The fabulous Joelle at Moxie was able to honor my request to have this link open in a separate window, so you no longer have to backtrack to make your way back to the blog.  Isn’t technology great?

To check out some of my favorite bloggers, click their links in my blogroll:  Shout Out to… and to do a keyword search throughout The Anomalous Life, plug your words into the provided space in the sidebar called Look Around.

Now we’re to my favorite new addition to TAL (my own little Rachel Ray-ism for The Anomalous Life) - and this new little slice of heaven is the Daily Anomaly.  See it up there in the right-hand corner?  The big text bubble coming down from the main menu bar?  I am SO. LOVING. THIS.  This is my abbreviated daily musing…my words of wisdom (or complete bullshit) and possibly a picture or two.  On those days that my haggard ass can’t whip up a full blog entry or those nights I’m at the Porch Swing tossing back some adult beverages and engaging in a conversation about our Founding Fathers, you can still count on a little sumthin-sumthin in the Daily Anomaly bubble.  And you can comment there as well.  Another loopy request of mine that Joelle granted.  Seriously, I don’t even think she’s human.  I bet she’s climbed Mount Everest.

So, there it is!  The new look for The Anomalous Life.  Let me know what you think, and for my male readers…it’s pink…I know.  I’m a girl and so is your wife, daughter, sister.  Your momma is too, and you remember what she used to say:  The woman is always right!
