new look

In honor of valentine's day and the fact that I can get away with using my favorite color over and over and over on the blog, I decided to redesign my blog.

By myself.

This is a first for me - making the background in Adobe Illustrator, then putting the elements together in Photoshop, and then changing the template and HTML code in Blogger.

But I finally got it and it worked! Yippee! And it was so much fun too!

Oh the possibilities this has opened up! (Are you tired of the exclamation points yet?!?!?)

Anyway, let me know if you like it.

If you don't like it...well...I'm sure I'll be changing it again in a few weeks. So you'll just have to suffer through the pink for a little while longer!

UPDATE: Does the design fit all the way to the edges of your computer screen? It does on my home and work computer, but it doesn't on Kent's laptop. So I'm trying to address the problem but I need to know if it's more than just his laptop that doesn't stretch the screen.

Hello? (Tap, tap, tap...) Anyone there?

Yes, well. Have you noticed my total lack of posting?

At times I have bloggers block. (That truly is a term...but you'll just have to trust me on that one.)

And then other times I can think of quite a few things that I want to post:

Like the yummy food I made for a super bowl party (wings and jalepeno popper dip and lemon cookies.)

Or the latest funny thing that Meredith or Jesse do. Or when Meredith was so sweet the morning that there was only one cereal bar left and even though I gave it to her to eat before school, she heard Jesse fussing that he didn't have one, so she gave it to him.

Or how I took a NyQuil two nights ago and still feel extra sleepy and drugged (my limbs seemed to be underwater for much of the day yesterday.)

But somehow between the time that something happens and I sit down at the computer, I again have bloggers block.

So forgive me if I'm a bit absent at times while I sift through the happenings of each day and wonder if anything would be of interest to you.
