Managing the bog.

I've really made a mess of things over here at mollycoddle. I haven't been giving my blog much style and content attention lately, so with my little lazy dial-up connection, I've been trying to slowly make a few changes. As you can see, I've only been successful at rearranging the order of my sidebars (which wasn't even my intent) and changing the band of color running down the sides. (also not my intent)
According to my sidebar, I've been listening to the same four CD's since Christmas, my children haven't ventured to read anything beyond a few short stories out of poppleton, nothing good has come from my kitchen since fiberballs, and the last thing I knitted was a holiday gift!(well, that may be true, i'll have to think about that one.)
Not only that, I realize that my sidebar is sadly neglecting the wonderfully inspiring blogs that I visit daily. I'm not sure I've updated that since I began blogging and we all know that the little sidebar is a wonderful way to share eachother's blogs and expand our little community.
So, bear with me, as I make a few changes...or at least try. I'm hoping to enlist a little help with my blog banner because I hate fiddling with the pixels....
And could someone PLEASE give me a lesson on importing my feeds from bloglines? There's got to be an easy way to do this!!

I was just reading an email from my mom who was commenting on how nice it was to catch up with me by reading my blog. Her ironic typo said, "it's wonderful bogging with you!" That's about what I have right now--a bog. A murky mess. So please be patient as I try to drain off some of the sludge and find dry ground around here somewhere.
And when I become un-stuck I have much to share--including lots of wonderful swappy things wingy their into my mailbox and beyond.
