The Age of Aquarius

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, the Aaaage of Aquariuuuu-uuuuuuuusss . . .

Not really. It’s just the dawning of a new domain name for me:

jennaseverythingblog.com

My darling and valued subscribers: please take note! Come with me to a whole new world (don’t you dare close your eyes) (sorry, feeling musical this morning) . . . where you will really just get more of the same. Recipes. Baby James. Reminiscences of my time as spy warlord/princess of the Appalachian mountain ranges. Probably some more recipes.

Just kidding about the warlord/princess part–but you probably already figured that out.

The format, for now, will look pretty much identical to what it has been, though I may still have minor tweaks and clean-up to do. Further changes may or may not happen–get ready to be surprised. Or not surprised, as the case may be.

Anyway, don’t get left behind at the old site, wondering why I’ve dropped off the face of the internet. Come join the fun! And if you’re a subscriber, make sure you switch on over to the new address!

Love you guys! Later this week, I continue the Indian food trend with this:

And even later, this:

And maybe even this . . .

. . . but only if you’re good.

Just kidding–you’re always good.

Whooppeee!

Putting the 'everything' in 'Everything'

Guys, I am so thankful that I called this blog my ‘Everything Blog.’ I’m so glad that I allow myself the freedom to blog about what I want . . . where I want, how I want.

Sometimes I start to constrain myself–I think ‘well, I’d better keep posting 1-2 recipes per week’ or ‘I’d better get some book reviews done’ or ‘if I don’t post every single weekday, the world will fall apart’–and then I remember that everything and anything is up to me, and I have the freedom to write about whatever is exciting in my world at the time. Or not write. I can neglect to post on any given day–and our globe continues to turn.

If I had called this blog ‘Jenna’s Fun Time Internet Space,’ I would feel compelled to be fun all the time. And recently I was feeling like I just didn’t want to be funny anymore. On many occasions the silliness just oozes out of me. It’s all I can do to put a stopper in it long enough to get dinner on the table without interrupting the process with 5 silly jigs, 8 silly songs, and 2 silly frolics. But recently, I haven’t been feeling quite so silly. Maybe it’s the advent of the fall–it’s a thoughtful season. It’s a season that always urges me to look back, think about the previous year, review good memories and bad, do a little self-examination. Read past journal entries with a hot mug of coffee in hand, and prepare myself for my once-a-year scrapbooking project.

So thank you for letting me be serious when I feel serious, and thoughtful when I feel thoughtful, and silly when I feel silly–and sticking with me through all my moods and musings. It keeps the ‘everything’ aspect of my little space alive and well–and reminds me that I’m free.
