Happy New Year!

2006 is upon us! A new year requires something new here at Allisonlives.com. I love this website and feel that I'm a better writer and designer because of it. But I'm also tired of it. So I'm trying something new. Rather than closing up shop altogether (I would hate that and would miss it terribly), I've decided to take on a few tenents. Collaborators. That takes some of the pressure off me. It's self-applied pressure. You other bloggers know what I'm talking about. Having a few additional posters will make it easier for me not to feel like I have to write daily. It won't be only me trying to carry this website.

I asked Steph and Megan about helping me out with it over the Christmas holiday. Steph was on board and even pursuaded me to stick with the domain name when I mentioned changing it. Megan was less excited but stopped short of saying "Hell, no." So I'm taking that as an "Absolutely, I'm in" and plan on guilting her into writing something occasionally. She's hilarious. I didn't get the opportunity to ask my other sister Rebecca but I'm also including her and hope she writes something about homeless people or the dangers of biking around Philadelphia.

So there you have it. I have no doubt that the additions will do nothing but boost the quality of this website. You'll likely see me adding things and removing others in the next few weeks. Just warning you. Happy New Year from all of us at Allisonlives.
