Just to let you know, mygranddesign will probably officially launch tomorrow with my first entry. After that, this will close. If you want to be added as a friend, then by all means add my new one. :)

...WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT TRIPE?! I MISSED THE WINGS GAME FOR THAT POOR EXCUSE OF AN ADAPTION?!

Well, I have made a grand decision and it has been executed...

I suggest adding the following journal...

...mygranddesign.

I've basically come to a conclusion that I'm going to put an end to my Verselus journal fairly soon. I've come to a point where I think a major door is closing on my life and a new one will be opening. This happened once upon a time with my other journals genevievechat and moon_wise_muse. It's Verselus' time to be put to rest now.

He's been a great asset to me in my transition from college graduate to soldier in the optical work force. He was there for when Pete and I were separated, and of course, my grand Crohn's diagnosis and those initial and unforgettable (although I wish I could) trips to the hospital. I have dreams come true and lost loved ones through this journal and I'm glad I'll always have these memories here to read over. Eventually I'll get this all printed out into a nice hard copy, but that'll be later on in the future.

In my efforts to find my niche in society, starting school for interior design, hoping one day to start my own business, and of course, my up coming marriage to Peter, I feel like it's time to start my new story and chapter with it's own style and taste.

So here's my grand question...what should I call this journal? What user name should I register for? Here are some of the options I've come up with...

adriannemkarpo...because that's my Twitter name and easy to remember. Or I can go for the full...adriannemkarpowicz...or adriannekarpowicz...sans the M. I've also considered just doing...adrianneschinkai...because that's who I'll be by this time next year anyways. But part of me finds that not so creative. So I've considered...comfortbyadrianne...which is what I'm hoping to name by business a few years from now. But the whole journal won't be about interior design and school and such. It's also going to be a bit more open now, although if there's anything majorly personal, I will of course hide it under friends only.

So...anybody have any name suggestions? Like one of the ones I've previously listed? I would love to hear them! Go!

I encourage everyone to go check out www.themacdaily.com. It's Pete's big project that he's been working on lately and it's coming along nicely! :)

Poll #1399577 Interior Design
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 4

If I took some classes, do you think I would be a good interior decorator?

Too tired to report anything else, but here's the end result...

Pete and I took Macy over to my parents' place for the dinner and we went to let her in the back with Lady. Macy ran in, didn't see the pool, and found out that gravity works. The good news was the pool was half full with poo water, but she was able to swim to the steps. Long story short, she shook out and got a bath and Mom and Dad's place. Sounds like she'll be a blast when the pool's actually in use this season.

It's pretty outside so Pete and I are gardening!
