Resolutions Were Made To Be Broken

(Dang, I didn’t even make it 30 days!)

Remember how I wrote (way back on New Year’s Eve) that I was quitting this blog? Yeah, well, I’m not. I can’t. Italy is under my skin and that’s that. So go ahead, cue the music, “You change your mind like a girl changes clothes…” and please forgive my indecisiveness. I’ve come to terms with myself and realized the simple truth, I’m an Italophile!

So what does all this mean? No clue. No promises on scheduled posts or topics. I can promise lots of photos though. I think that’s what did me in. I started editing and organizing the 3 billion images I captured over the last four years. It just seems a waste to keep them stored on my hard drive when I can share them with you here, right?

The above is one of the (many) images I played with over the weekend. At first I felt it was over done, too soft and sappy. But then it started to grow on me and I decided I liked the soft, romantic feel of it. I also like that it reminds me of our time on the Amalfi Coast, that little slice of heaven. I think it’ll be a perfect addition to our DC home. Once it’s framed and hung I’ll take a photo of it and let you weigh in. (That might take a while though!)

I also wanted to say I felt bad for leaving you hanging... see, I didn't stop blogging. I just stopped blogging here. Since our first overseas duty station in Okinawa, Japan in 2003 I've been blogging (and blogging and blogging). The web address has stayed the same even though though our mailing address kept changing! (Okinawa, Sicily, Naples, DC) If you care to read about the mundane, crafty and kid-filled days of our lives you can always click over and say hello.

Ciao Karen! Bentornata!! This post really made me smile. Campania just isn't the same without you. :-) I look forward to hearing your stories and seeing more of those zillions of photographs. You have such a great eye!
