Did I fall off the Earth?

So I started this blog with high hopes and good intentions. I've had an (anonymous) blog before, but it didn't take long for it to become a very seldom updated bit of moaning on the web, like so many neglected blogs out there. But this blog I really hoped to be very different. And why should I think that? Because I have a passion for thrifting and deals! This passion is what I truly hoped would lead to far more enthusiasm and content. I right away set out snapping pictures of my finds and mentally writing posts as I went about my day.

Little did I know I created my blog right in the middle of the Blogger crash. So my content disappeared, my comments disappeared, and even worse my whole domain disappeared. I waited and waited for it to come back, but every time Blogger told me "Domain not found, but adventuresinthethrift.com is available to be registered". I waited and waited some more. I watched as my posts and comments came back. I watched as everyone else got back into blogging. I Contacted blogger about the problem. I waited. I never heard back about if I should just re-register or wait until they fixed it.

It's been long enough now, I just decided to go ahead and start fresh. And, now, I'm glad. I like this name better. It's from a Shakespeare quote, and I love it. I imported the 3 posts I had up from the old blog. I deleted the blog. I forgot about the drafts I had ready, but there were only 2, and I'm not too upset that they're gone. They certainly weren't masterpieces or anything

So, hello blogosphere, once more!

Oh, and a little side note, 2 weeks ago I wrote about how I was sad it had become too warm to wear this jacket  . Well I guess it's a total case of 'be careful what you wish for'. It's been cold and yucky the past 3 days. You bet I wore my green jacket though!
