Habits or Schedules?

Image
It is Saturday and we have our shopping done for the week. Thought I would check in since I am not working on designs today. I take the week end off, mainly because I don't have Photoshop installed on my laptop so I won't work on week ends. I have been shutting the PC down on Friday night and it doesn't come back on until Monday. That got me to the title for todays blog. I have always been a person that is a list maker, has a schedule or habits. I have done this my entire life and it is too late to get out of the habit! I have been an exersizer all my life, from the time when I was 13 or so and thought I was fat because I didn't have a body like Elizabeth Taylor, who was my idol back in the dark ages! I used to run every day, rain, snow or sunshine until my knees got too bad from motorcycle wrecks and surgeries to repair them from the falls. So I walked every day and rode an exercise bike. One winter day when I got back and had to dry out my rain coat, pants and sh...

First Love!

Night of the Golden Moon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/night-of-the-golden-moon-by-md/ I hope everyone is having a great Saint Patrick's Day. I have to admit I don't have any green on today.... I have been using Plumrose Lane for the blog "theme" and aparently they had some problems with their site and that is why my blog went blank. I had messed around with the codes so much trying to get it back I didn't think I would ever get it back. Thanks to Magda who told me PL was having the problem and thanks to Plumrose Lane I now have all my "pretty blog stuff" back. If you have a blog and want to have a nicer looking theme than the choices from google blogger try going to Plumrose Lane. Their site is at:  http://plumroselane-bckgrnds.blogspot.com/2010/09/backgrounds.html . We had the rainiest day on Sunday that we have had in a long time and broke some records, I guess. I read something on line that reminded me of when I ...

Chrome and Firefox Themes on Brand Thunder

They asked me to make Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian designs. The first Kim Kardashian one I sent them didn't show enough skin so this one seemed to please their users! I know some of you actually use Chrome so I have made and submitted several more designs so when they go live, I will post their links. Have a good day!

Planets Blue by MaDonna https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/planets-blue-by-madonna/   I have been working on the blog's appearance as you have probably noticed trying to get it back. There was a problem with the host of the blog codes. I had been messing with the codes trying to get it back and had made up my mind it wasn't going to happen, but thanks to Magda, one of my very first and best followers commented and I was able to get some of them back.  Not all, but some. I had saved the codes in case they were removed from the site, so some of the prettier codes won't work anymore. Darn! But at least it is better than transparent like it has been for awhile. I hate this Daylight Savings Time! I have a hard enough time sleeping (one of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia) and then the time changes but my body doesn't know it!  Our state legislators have talked about doing away with DST but doubt very much if they get around to doing it. 25% more workin...

Thank You, Magda!

This is just a short thank you to my good friend, Magda in Australia. She posted a comment and I was able to get my blog back to "pretty". I had messed around so much with the codes I didn't think I would ever be able to get it back but thanks to her I did.

Marching into Spring!

  Spring Fresh by MaDonna https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/spring-fresh-by-madonna/ Can you believe it is March 2015? I can't. I remember when I was a kid time didn't go very fast. Remember how long it took your birthday or Christmas to get here? The older you get the quicker the time goes. Which shouldn't be the way it is, but... Our weather has been so great. We are going after another load of wood this afternoon so thought I would update the blog for March. Put a little bit of green in it! We went to our oldest great grandson's basketball game yesterday. Took our daughter in law with us since their was no reason for us both to drive down. It is so much fun to watch these kids play. They put all their heart and soul into the games. He also plays lacrosse so he had a lacrosse game in the morning and the basketball in the afternoon. That seems a little bit too much. Most kids don't get enough exercise so it is great for them to get som...
