Say THAT three times fast.

Anyone have any idea why my stupid blog won’t keep its theme?? It keeps defaulting back to the default one. Ditto with our family blog. Very annoying! It started when I put up the fall templates a couple months ago. As far as I know, I didn’t change any settings at that time.

I’m not usually a fan of fiction but I’ve read two books by Cassandra King over the holiday that were so enjoyable.  Nothing deep but they held my attention.  Same Sweet Girls and The Sunday Wife.  I want to read Making Waves but I have to go to another branch to get it.  And its cool to read stories that take place near where I live!
Things are starting to come together around the house. Unpacking is 95% done but some of those things are sitting around waiting for a home. Its all driving me nuts. After living with so little for so long, I got used to having a house that could be picked up entirely in under 30 minutes and that was when it looked BAD. Our apartment is finally looking like a home though, which I love. We need to hang more pictures this weekend. That will get them up off the floor and make it look homier. And I need to straighten the bookcases in the living room so I can finish unpacking one more box of books. I also want to finish the bedroom this weekend. Once I get those things done, I’ll feel even better.

We came back from IN with colds. DH is over his but I’m not yet (not sleeping well). Thankfully, E seems to have avoided the worst of it this time.

We got E moved into a twin bed today. She looks so tiny in it!!! We don’t have a headboard or a comforter set yet. My first goal is a comforter. I found two that I love. They are similar in design, just different in colors. This one I like but this one I love. They are simple in style, not too juvenile but still cute & girly. (They have a couple more boyish ones I love too.) Perfect, eh? But check out the price—$1100 for a duvet, bed skirt, sham & bolster pillow. I choked when I saw the price!! We paid less than $100 for *our* comforter, no way I’m paying more than 10x that for DD’s! Shipping IS free though. LOL

No, no, I’m not changing the address of my blog again!!   But we (I) have added a page for our family.  I like to keep this one out of the reach of my family, so I set one up for them.

This Life of Ours 

It seems everyone is getting new layouts lately!  So between that and my desire to decorate for fall but not being able to do much, I decided to switch to a fall template now.  I was planning to do it in a couple weeks but I have the bug.  I want to switch up the sidebar layouts but this will do for now.

I obviously still have formatting issues to finish (I’m having issues editing templates) but I think I’m finally moved over.  I got all my old entries & comments pulled here.  I still need to check my bravenet site to make sure I have everything saved before our hosting ends.  And I just found a thingy that will put Diaryland entries to a WP format, so I have that as a long-term project.

I usually feel somewhat hip in the area of computers.  But I don’t know what a couple of these widgets are that WP offers nor how to use them.  I could take the time to read up on ‘em but thought I’d post here and see if anyone can just tell me instead of making me work.   ‘Meta’?  ‘RSS’ feed?  ‘del.icio.us’?
