Welcome to February

Yes, I can't believe it either, but January's gone. I'm still pregnant, but I have hope at this point that every day is my last day in this particular state of being... let's get going, Kinlee!!!


The new backgrounds are up here and on Braska's blog, so peek in, you reader readers!

Also, two of the Valentine Makeover winners, Brigette and Jen, have theirs up already... yeah, that's right, I'm that quick! (Terri...drop me a line!!) Plus, I also had time to do one last night during the game for Cheryl. No, she didn't win in the drawing, but she's practically family (officially, one of these days!) so I did a quick one after she picked out her choices.

As far as those of you who have asked for tutorials, I do plan to do a little series to share the inside info, but probably not til March if I'm being truthful. It's not all that hard or anything, but it can be time consuming. FYI--to start, it's nice if you have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. So check into that if you're seriously interested. It's not cheap, but it does alot. I'm sure there are other programs that can do it, but that seems to be the most common one when dealing with building with layers and communicating with HTML.

So go see the blogs to see how cute their visions came out... they all picked their kits, colors, pics, and had the last say on design. I think they all turned out well, even though they are all different. Plus, they're all super neat people, so go say hi!

  1. All of the new blogs are quite fun! Quick question, do you design your whole background then pop it into the code or is each piece/layer separately coded? I'm just trying to figure out how to get a three-column layout and which parts of the code to change. You can e-mail if it's an easy answer; otherwise I'll be patient. Thanks! I did it for my photography blog, but I just thought there might be an easier way as it was a little tricky to figure out and my pregnant brain isn't wanting to think that hard right now.

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
