Firefox users - I just realized that my header is not center justified for you. Sorry about that, it looks yucky. How pathetic that I didn't check it, oh... a YEAR ago when I re-did everything.
Yes, when I re-did everything by just hacking at the code until I liked the way the layout looked just the way I wanted it at the time. Cool right? Sure. Until you go back and want to change things up again. That makes it ROUGH! So... there will be a new (hopefully cleaner and simpler) blog look it just might not be today or tomorrow or anytime too soon. It may be a great project for when I've slowed down a bit more and have a few more of the physically demanding things checked off of my to-do-before-spring list.
My Lilypie ticker has apparently decided that it wants to stall out and not automatically count down, like it's supposed to. I didn't generate that code so I can't blame it on myself. In fact yesterday when I was messing around with it I changed some dates around and the ticker was getting all messed up. It's not terribly uncommon for Lilypie but it's annoying for me and anyone else who needs no help feeling like they're losing their mind. "Hey, I thought she was 28 weeks, 3 days ago..." Yah. Hopefully they get that worked out soon!
Perhaps I should just stick to the actual, tangible, things right now and not all this "magic" technical stuff. I'm having a little better luck with using my hands. Yesterday I took some (way too much) time and made the mobile for above the crib. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I had a thought in mind for what I wanted, set out to look for it and did find what I was looking for... to the tune of more than $50. So, thinking that was a bit excessive for what turned out to be around 64 cents in craft card stock, 59 cents for a dowel and 2 dollars for some pink glass beads, I set out (with the help of a few items that I already had at home) to make my own.
It was a time consuming project but it's fun to know that I was the one who put the work in. I even added some sparkly clear glass beads that were from a broken necklace that must have been my great-grandma's. And all you safety minded people, the mobile is out of the reach of any little hands and can be moved closer to the ceiling when necessary to keep it that way. It has such a relaxing movement so I'm really happy that it wasn't a total disaster!
Today will be spent trying to scratch a few more things off of our list and probably a lazy movie day for the kiddos who are still really trying to fight off a nasty chest cold. It's tough when I love the cuddle time but also really want to try to remain healthy myself. Lots of hand washing, lots of reminders to "cover your cough!" and "please use a tissue and not your sleeve!"

if it makes you feel any better, I've been a lurker for oh about a year now using firefox and only noticed that your header was off when you posted this :)
