Your previous theme here http://chosenmayhem.wordpress.com/ was a retired theme called Freshy.
Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click the “activate” or the “preview” link, or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.
After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.
Note that every theme will have a detailed theme description page with set up instructions and a live demo site page that you can consult. Here’s an example:
https://wordpress.com/themes/expound/
https://expounddemo.wordpress.com/Also note that you can use a retired theme that no longer supports all WordPress.COM features on any blog it was used on previously, but you cannot use it on a blog registered after it was retired.

Thank you for your quick response. I believe I understand how the new themes work, but I am unclear if I can go back to having the “freshy” theme that I loved. I am so bummed that I changed this blog instead of the other one. I am hopeful that you can help me get back to it. :)

I not clear on what you are not clear about. Please read this paragraph again:
Also note that you can use a retired theme that no longer supports all WordPress.COM features on any blog it was used on previously, but you cannot use it on a blog registered after it was retired.
