Thank you all for the e-mails of concern and despair. For the past two days, clicking on edgymama.com has taken you to a website for golf carts. And not just any golf carts, but those marketed only to fluent Latin scholars.

Needless to say, my transfer from Blogger to Wordpress is not going smoothly. Server problems, possibly Charter problems, DNS transfer delays. You understand. The Internets, she is a fickle mistress. And I prefer men.

Soon, I hope, the new Edgy Mama will emerge–smoother, cleaner, and with more cowbell.

Thanks for your patience and for letting me give notice here. Stay tuned. xoxoxo

Vicki awarded me something called a “Thinking Blogger” award. I think I’m supposed to tag some of you as “Thinking Bloggers” and let you think about tagging some other bloggers. Which makes me think that soon every blogger in the blogosphere is going to be a “Thinking Blogger.” And you know that ain’t true. So, I’m not going to play. If you’d like to be a “Thinking Blogger,” you can steal the little button from her bloggie and say that I awarded you the honor.

So what am I thinking about? I’m thinking about lunch–leftover Thai food. Yum! I’m thinking about fricking window treatments for this silly series of articles I’m writing. I interviewed a local designer yesterday who said that she’s trying to get a second edition of a window treatment book published by our local pub house and asked if I would to like to help write and photograph it. The offer, while kind, made me vomit a little in my mouth, which I took to be a sign that I want nothing to do with window treatments after I file my last story next week. Either that, or my morning coffee was messing with my esophageal valve.

I’m thinking about DILOA–Day in the Life of Ashvegas, a very cool photo project scheduled for this Saturday. If you’re in the area and like to take photos, this is your chance to document the life of our town with close to 50 other photogs. It’s going to be a blast!

I’m thinking about how quiet my house is. I’m not going to tell you why, but it is. I’m thinking about how cool The Dixie Chicks are. I’m thinking about movies and beer. I’m thinking about my poor hostas and lilies that got spanked by the three days of freezing temps last weekend. I’m thinking about the fact that that freeze means I’ll be buying apples from Washington State instead of from North Carolina in the fall. And that makes me sad.

So what are you thinking about, all you thinking bloggas?
