Guys, look what happened? Would you just look at what’s happened to my blog?!
I can only assume Goldilocks is behind this. Just last night, she was over for a bowl of soup and she fell asleep in my bed. AGAIN! But, I fell asleep, too, and I think she must have slipped something in my drink, because the next thing I knew, it was morning and she was gone. I logged into my blog and this is what I found. Goldilocks is a HACKER!
Am I in a time warp or something? The Bumble Files? Didn’t I change the name of my blog once or did that even happen? Now, I don’t even know. I lose track of time when I hang around Goldilocks. She has that effect on my me. What year is it again? 2013? Did I miss a year?
Who does she think she is changing my blog without consulting me first? First let me catch my breath, as I’m just seeing all of this for the first time.
Let’s take a look around.
What in the world is this header? A pink snake? Interesting…
Hmm…I see a new picture on the sidebar there. I’m a Work In Progress, huh? That’s all she can come up with? After everything I’ve done for her?…The late nights, the soup, ALL THE SOUP. You’ve heard she’s a picky eater, right? All true. And letting her sit anywhere she wants, usually in my favorite chair, which you know, you do so at your own risk. I mean, look at her latest disaster. LOOK at this! I know she sat in this chair. I just know it.

She’s whacked! Here’s evidence. She’s a breaker…she’s a hacker. Out of control. Only she leaves things shattered in bits and pieces.
But I daresay, this blog is kind of growing on me. It’s colorful and bright. It looks like the address will work fine if you search or type in either amyreesewrites or bumble files. Secretly, underneath AmyReeseWrites, I am still The Bumble Files; I’m just multi-layered now is all. The domain name can stay. Why hassle that?
Goldi has redone my “About” page for the Bumble Files. She’s put in Categories. I’ve never had those. I was nearly approaching the 100 mark in number of categories. She’s been busy! I must give her some credit. I think she just wants me to have a little fun is all. She means no harm…I think I’m just going to keep it!
So, there you have it. I am now THE BUMBLE FILES! Peace.
Oh, and there she is now. I must catch her! Tootles for now.
With love,
Amy

This change isn’t permanent, is it?…

Hi Amy, welcome back to 2013. I think you’re going to become an awesome blogger long before 2015. You might meet some cool friends along the way too 🙂 I like the new layout, I also like The Bumble Files, it always makes me hum the music to the Rockford Files, in a bumbling sort of way 🙂

Why, thank you, Stephen. I feel a bit younger today for some reason. Who knew Goldilocks would pull a fast on me like this? That’s funny about the Rockford Files. I’m afraid I don’t know the tune. I will have to look it up! 🙂

I always liked The Bumble Files! Do you remember I told you that for ages I had misread and thought it was The Bumble FLIES , and even though I have known for a long time now that it isn’t, I still always get the image of a bumble bee in my mind when I see the name!

You rock those glasses, Amy!! A little bit of mystery, and lots of edge. Hope your week is off to a good start. I’ve been fiddling around with my blog too much.

Oooh, yes, lots of edge. I like that. Just keep talking to me. I know who to come to when Goldi gets me down. Although, I can hardly be mad at her for anything!
Interesting how the New Year does that to people. I thought about changing and then it happened suddenly, you know with Goldi going behind my back like she did. Goldi confessed today that those widgets kept her up all night. Nothing is ever quick, is it?
