so groovy now!

Yeah so the new design is up and I think I am happy with it for the most part. Still to do:

• Fix the photos page with the flickr/tantan plugin.


• Fix my now reading plugin pages.


• Write wittier, more interesting blogs.


• Get a Mother’s Day gift for my mom.


• Really need a job that I enjoy … that would be a bonus.

So if stuff is out of whack for a little while longer…well sit tight. We’re experience technical difficulties.

Okay, so the whole new theme thing has kind of fallen apart…I find layouts I like, but the graphics suck or vice versa. I am not talented enough to change ANYTHING apparently to make a layout I like look like I want it to.

I guess I’m going to give up for a bit…at least for tonight. If anyone has seen any cool (free) wordpress themes out there, please give me a yell.

so it looks screwy so if you skin the site, the other theme isn’t ready and I am lacking in skills and energy to get it looking good tonight…give me a few days. Okay, weeks.

okay so I was going to do a blog on books I’ve been reading and love after reading a post by Joelle, and I was going to say – look at my reading plug in on the right to see some of what I’ve read.

But I changed designs and didn’t realize it changed the designs on the now reading pages, and they are kind of f’d up.

Give me a few days. I’ve been thinking of a new design and upgrading to WP 2.5 anyways. THEN I will talk books.

Is that a word?

I am feeling disillusioned tonight. It is a combination of a lot of things and part of the reason why I haven’t been blogging. Something comes up for renewal in July – I think my hosting. I may have to give up the domain blogging and move to another format. A free one. I’m really digging vox’s setup, it is cool. But I love wordpress.

Anyway, I digress. Disillusioned.

I have watched as my husband has worked at the same place for almost two years. I have watched as he worked seven days a week when they were building the place, I have watched as he worked seven days a week after it first opened and business was booming, and I have watched as he worked second shift in most all of this time.

Ahh nostalgia time…

My bonus daughter has a remake of Peter Schilling’s Major Tom as her profile song on myspace. (by a band called I Hate Kate) This leads me to a Peter Schilling myspace page with the original, and it brings back memories of junior high and other songs from that time.

Memories of Wouldn’t It Be Good by Nik Kershaw, Gold by Spandau Ballet (I always liked it over True, which is a good song too), Poison Arrow by ABC…does anyone remember Life Takes a Life by Jon Butcher Axis? Eat Your Heart Out by Xavion (from Memphis!). The One Thing by INXS which was the first song I heard by them. Michael Hutchence was so hot.

I found most of these on youtube and you can go watch them HERE. I threw in Need You Tonight/Mediate so you can observe Michael Hutchence in all his ultimate hotness.

Try not to hate. Love your mate.
