I want to write. I promise. The thing is, somehow I broke my website.

Actually, the truth is that my webhost sucks. That's right, Hostsave, I'm talking to you. Even though I spent four months calling and emailing their joke of a customer service team, they repeatedly ignored my requests to help me figure out why all the archives of my blog were so jacked. I suppose that's what I get for signing up with the Walmart of webhosts.

Rather than call and explain myself to a new Hostsave service rep for the seventh time and have them act like they just started yesterday and don't know what I mean by the words "domain name", this weekend I decided to just take the time I would have spent on hold and re-create my blog with Blogger. You can not imagine what a pain in the ass this has been. I started on Saturday and spent five hours copying and pasting each entry. Then I tried to figure out how to make my design template work in Blogger, and how to ftp it on my site, and I jacked everything up somehow. I finally just password protected everything so that I could figure it out without people coming to my site and thinking "Holy crap! Lucy broke her website!" So there's that story.

I've been at home today, recovering from a bad case of horrible, hurts-so-bad-I-don't-want-to-move stomach cramps, along with some other unladylike things I won't mention here. Suffice it to say there are some days when leaving the house is a bad idea. Today is one of those days for me. Rather than fall into the deep well of depression that watching Days of Our Lives and Montel Williams induces in me, I decided to sit here at my desk and fix this damn website. For realz. Because I miss writing here. I do. I promise!

Lo and behold, just when I think I have everything figured out, and when the Blogger template preview looks shiny and perfect, it turns out that Blogger will not finish publishing all my files. Instead it just times out, and so here you can only see about half of the changes I made. Damn you, internet.

Also, apparently I have to go through each and every entry and redo all the quotation marks and apostrophes and dashes. Apparently I pissed my Website Karma angel off somehow. I'm sure I'll get around to doing that sometime this...year.

Just so you don't think I'm a total whiner, here's list of happy, fun things I've incorporated into this site just recently:

1) I changed the entry page. That picture makes me feel both special and pretty.

2) Comments! Comments! Comments!

When they aren't broken anymore, the comments section will actually be pretty exciting for me, I think. Now you can leave me little notes about stuff - whatever you want. Whenever you want. You can leave your name or not. No pressure. (The only rule is that if I feel like deleting whatever you said, I will. Because I can. See that quote over there on the side bar? That's right. My world, my rules. Doesn't that sound powerful?)

So, when the comments are no longer broken, please, make my day.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sick of trying to fix this thing, so it's here, in all of its half-baked glory. I'll keep working on it, and I'll try to keep writing too. Cause I have lots of stories for you. I'll bet you can't wait.
