Please vote in this blog's poll

A few weeks ago, I asked whether you think something in missing and whether this blog should feature pictures.  Some of you already voiced an opinion or voted on the issue.

The poll will be closing in a few days, so I just wanted to remind everyone to please vote (on the main page OR directly below) OR leave me a comment.  I'd love to hear from people on this topic...thanks!

I don't know if any of you noticed, but I recently took a couple of weeks off from writing new topics on this blog.

That's partly because my husband and I were traveling over the last couple of weeks and partly because before leaving on our trip, I intended to schedule some blog posts to publish while we were traveling...but mostly because things were just so crazy busy that I didn't get the time to do that.

To my loyal readers and followers (50+ of you, WOW!), thanks for sticking around (despite the lack of recent posts in my absence).
