Friday Potpourri

Yeah, I got nothin today. So you’re getting a mishmash of thoughts going on in my brain. Sorry, people.

1. It’s Friday the 13th today. Is anyone superstititious, and if so, what are your superstitions? (And why is that word so damn hard to type?). Me, when I spill salt I toss a few granules over my left shoulder. Don’t ask me why. And I won’t walk under a ladder. And I really don’t like to open an umbrella in the house.

2. Where the hell did Men in Trees go? It disappeared off the television schedule, like, poof! Gone. I know it wasn’t cancelled, but where is it? Did Anne Heche have another breakdown?

3. I’m still plotting the next Demon Hunters book, and I’m stuck. Stuck, stuck stuck. Bleh. And now I’m working on a super secret project that I’m also plotting. Yeah, that’ll help me with the Demon Hunters book. Not. :dumbass: I want to start writing and it annoys me when something isn’t working. *slaps brain upside the head*

4. Anyone have fun plans for the weekend? We have rain coming in all day today and part of tomorrow. Yuk. And I’m on office duty with Biker Dude all day tomorrow. Double yuk. And Sunday I have to prepare the guest room because we have a visitor coming in next week. Triple Yuk. So tell me something fun you’ll be doing this weekend, because clearly I won’t be. :chair:

Okay so I am trainable

My blog has a new look!

Frauke of Crocodesigns did a template redesign for me so I now have 3 colums instead of 2. Doesn’t it look great?

And, what’s even cooler is, she installed these wicked awesome widgets so now I can make changes to my blog template myself, something I’ve never been able to do before. (I really do want to be self sufficient)

You see, I’m html-inept. No matter how hard I try, my mind has not been able to grasp the concept of html. Ask those who put up with me daily. They’ll agree. There’s a reason Angie and Shan have access to my blog. I really just don’t ‘get’ html.

But Frauke spent a half hour with me over the weekend and explained html code, and I coded my covers and such, and look. It actually worked and it’s all in the right order and I didn’t blow anything up. Truly, it’s astounding.

The woman rocks! Thank you Frauke! :cheer:

Sadly, Angie still controls my smilies, so that idiot emoticon she created remains. Someday I’ll figure those out too. :giggle:
