The real me, mountain holiday, orange again, and restructuring

Hello, folks! I am back from a weekend frolic to Aspen, CO, where I spent some time celebrating my 7th wedding anniversary with my husband anniversary. The weather was beautiful, the hotel was much better than anticipated, and I even found yarn where I didn't know it existed! Could it get any better?! I think not!
So, I have made some decisions. First, I am going to attempt to structure this blog as if people are readily reading it. I am going to devote some time to product review. Now, when I say product review, it could mean any kind of product. Knit wash, needles, yarn, books, etc. I anticipate some problems with this that perhaps someone could help me with. First, I do not have the finances or limitless resources to have a new product to review every week. Second, I do not have a snappy name for said review. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Also, I think that I am only going to show my finished projects on Fridays. I am going to call it Finished Fridays. Original, huh? But I will break tradition with that and just get this one project out of the way. I have made the passionfruit armwarmers, so I made the clementine armwarmers for my best friend Marcie. Yes, Orange AGAIN. And we all know how I feel about orange.
Also, I have been debating, humorizing, philosophizing, etc. about pics of the real me on my website. I took some on said mountain holiday. I will post them along with pics of Aspen and hubby. Here goes.
