Cat's out of the bag!

What does that even mean?? Why was the cat in the bag in the first place??

Anyway, some how, some of you have started trickling over to my new little blog.....how did you find it...you are sneaky! I wanted to work out all the kinks and have it beautiful.....but oh well. So.....here we go!

It's still me.
