Is it just me or are some of the images on this theme not showing up right now? I logged into my photobucket account, where I have them uploaded and they’re all there. I can see them perfectly but for some reason they’re not showing up for me. The images in the sidebar work fine but the header and background images are not displaying. I don’t know why they would show up in my photobucket gallery but not show up on my website. They were working fine earlier today. Can you see them, or is this problem just a “me” problem?

Actually, now that I’m trying to browse other websites, the internet in general is being a pest (aka, lagging and running a bit on the sluggish side).

My gosh I’m exhausted. We decided to celebrate Thanksgiving yesterday instead of Thursday because of Jo’s family (most of them) being unable to be here due to work and school. Jo made dressing by playing the guessing game. Neither of us have ever attempted it and the only person in my family that’s made it in the past is my grandmother and she’s unable to really communicate with anyone or even remember most things. No worries, he did it the way he thought it was supposed to be done and oh my goodness, was it ever delicious! I decided to make macaroni (my way, mm) and a caramel cake. Jo’s mom made the turkey, stuffing, peas pudding (strange but delicious), potatoes and gravy. We didn’t realize until after dinner that we forgot about the cranberry sauce. Whoops! How was yours?

In other news, I “redecorated” things around here. I’m still working on a few things and need to add a few things but overall, I like it. I also started working on a new Wordpress theme and will be announcing a new contest later this week!

I’m still finding a few “issues” with the current theme but I promise you I’m working hard, off and on, to fix some of the minor bugs which you may or may not be noticing. One of the bugs I’m trying to fix, that you might not have noticed, is a small footer image below each entry. For some dern reason the code sends it to the wrong location and gosh-dernit, I’m going to make it work no matter what it stinkin’ takes. I’m sure I’ll get it but it’s just not happening fast enough for me - I’m so impatient lately.

In other news; I got my flat screen monitor. Woohoo! I’m oh-so giddy. I’ve been using bulky, desk hogging monitors for years and I kept promising myself that I would eventually invest in something less desk-hoggy. That day finally arrived yesterday. It was a glorious day. You must love my dramatics here but seriously, it’s so nice to have a sleek flat screen. Of course it’s not a wide screen like my husband’s, which is something he keeps reminding me of but it’s certainly better than what I’ve had. That’s all that matters, honestly. I love it to bits.

Please excuse the mess, well, if there’s a mess when you stumbled onto Scribblescratch.com. I’m tweaking a new theme and I’m pretty sure there’s a mess on some resolutions and in certain browsers. Just letting you know. If you happen on an error or bug, please let me know. There’s a big possibility that I’ve overlooked a thing or two or ten. I tend to get a little sloppy trying to make things work the way I want them if I get too impatient trying to find the proper way to make it function.

In other news, I’m coming down with a nasty little bug. Curses. I’ve been running a fever all day. My cheeks look a bit sun/wind burned but the rest of my face is as white as a sheet of paper. Woe is me - just kidding, I feel bad but not that bad!

Ok, I somehow managed to throw together a little something for this blog. After almost a week of trying to get things right using Paintshop Pro Photo X2, it worked. I figured since Winter is almost here (for us), I would go ahead and do up a little something for the season. I doubt it will change before Spring, though I may throw up a temporary Christmas design sometime in December.

I have a few pictures I need to upload to Eyetakepictures.com. I didn’t miss any days, I just haven’t gotten the last couple uploaded and posted - just FYI.

Though I haven’t accomplished much of anything today (besides tweaking things around here), it has been such a beautiful day. It’s actually going to hold up for the next few days too. I’m tempted to drive out to Twillingate one day this week, for pictures. I’m also hoping that Jo is going to go with me when I head back down to one of the shipwrecks near here.

And speaking of Jo. He will be releasing his blog to the public in the next few days. His new blog that is! He picked out the domain and is so proud of it. I hope the design turns out nicely.

I must go though. I have some things to do!

I have a few ideas for my next theme bouncing around in my head. As each one comes to mind, I jot them down so that I do not forget about them. I have been trying to work on graphics but the only imaging program Jo has on this computer is Paintshop Pro Photo x2. Not exactly great for what I am trying to work on. In fact, I have only found myself extremely frustrated with it today. I know exactly what I want and when I can produce that, it irritates the snot out of me!

I may see about getting a monitor for my computer early next week. Then I can set it up on the spare desk and work away. I hate being unable to be productive in regards to design and graphics. I just love playing around with them and when they turn out decent enough, I use them. I have not been able to do any of that since we left Calgary and I am just itching to start again!

You know, I also have no idea how Jo expects me to finish up his blog if I cannot even make the graphics for it. DOH. I was planning to finish that up tonight. Maybe this will light a fire under his rump and see if he can figure out how to make his monitor work with my computer long enough for me to do this. HAHA

I have my first hostee here at scribblescratch.com! Her name is Lori and you can find her here; Stereotypical Housewife! She is lovely! What’s really cool about her too, she lives in the same province as me! Haha! I thought that was pretty neat! We aren’t in the same area but it’s cool all the same!

Go give her a visit and check back along and along! She’s just getting started over there!

I’ll also be hosting my friend Jess, from Georgia! I’ve got her account set up to, just waiting on her to get back with me about doing the wordpress or not thing!
