Personal Blog of a Small Town Mommy

I almost had a breakdown.

Posted on 12th March 2010 by Jessica in Crocheting, Family, Graphix Twist, Life

I started working on a layout for Graphix Twist this morning & got it done, coded (or so I thought) and uploaded to the “test” folder that I have to make sure everything is okay on the site & with the coding. I just couldn’t get my CSS to update for me. Since I use ELCMSv3, I started searching through the forums to see if maybe I could figure out what I did wrong, cause it also kept telling me that my keystring was wrong.. I don’t know what I did wrong to cause the keystring to not work, but finally I got it like I wanted. Yesterday sometime, I started trying to add a “Signature” category, and got completely stumped. BUT after reading through some of the threads there, I got it figured out.. Like 20 minutes ago. It works though. I’m happy about that.. If you want to request the newest signature that I am going to be putting over there, visit this page —> Here and leave me your name & preferred color (you get a choice between Pink, Blue or Green) here in this blog.

After the past week or so of 50-70 degree weather, we are having freezing rain & temperatures in the 30’s now. How craptastic is that?! I am SO ready for spring & Summer!! I am really hoping that it’s not going to be cold on easter because I am getting the boys shorts to wear.. Or I think I am lol. I’m planning to get them plaid shorts with a solid colored shirt & new shoes for easter. They had the shorts that I want to get them at walmart when I was there the other day getting another spool of yarn for the blanket that I am slowly making progress on for Adrianna, and I saw them & thought they would be PERFECT for easter! I’m a big fan of plaid shorts on both boys/girls/men/women so yeah..

Back in 2007, RC and I were trying to get a loan for a Toyota Prius. I am SO glad now that we didn’t with all of the reports & stuff I have heard about the failing brakes & sticking accelerators. The chances that our brakes would have stuck are probably slim to none, but still. That’s pretty scary that we almost were approved to get that kind of car. I guess one good thing is that they are all recalled now & we would have most likely gotten a new car.

Do you have a Form Spring account? If so (and even if you don’t) Feel free to ask me questions at mine!! My FormSpring!!

Our anniversary is the 31st of March, which hits right during the spring break for the school here. I’m about half tempted to see if my parents will keep the boys that weekend & see if we can go somewhere for a night or so. We didn’t get a honeymoon. We haven’t ever had a completely kid free night since Connor has been born. (Michael has spent the night places & so has Connor, but never at the same time.)

Connor is REALLY starting to talk a lot more! Today, I noticed that my sister in law had put up a new picture of her 7 year old daughter so I clicked on it & was looking at it & Michael noticed it & said, “Mommy, There’s Abby!” and Connor has been going around all day saying, “Abby.” There are a lot more other words that he is learning to say. I’m so glad he is starting to talk more!!

Updates…

Posted on 11th March 2010 by Jessica in Life, Site

I have added a couple of new pages.

I’ll list ‘em below :)

Fan Pages – These are just some different fan pages that I have become a member of & have found quite amusing!!

Plug Board – This is the page that has my plug board for the site on it. I have also made this a link in the links at the top of the page so people will find it easier. You can plug your site as many times as you want, but your button can’t be on the plug board more than once at a time. (Meaning, wait until your button is gone after posting it the first time to plug your site again!!)

Recipes – This is where I will compile some recipes of food that I really enjoy!!

————————–

I am making Italian Chicken for dinner tonight. I started marinating it yesterday around 4 PM so the Italian dressing should be nice & soaked into the chicken!

Want the recipe?? Sure!! Check the Recipes page!!

Yesterday, it was stunningly gorgeous outside!! I think it got up to like 68º as the high.. We played outside with the boys for about 2 1/2 hours yesterday afternoon/evening. Since about Friday though, it’s been up there above 55º every day. So we have been spending a lot more time out side. Saturday & Sunday, we spent a couple of hours at RC’s parents (aka The Farm) since they are home.. Saturday, we were there longer than on Sunday, cause RC helped them fix the pig pen & make their fenced in area bigger & the pigs seem to love it. The chickens have been just running around since they’ve been home & they seem to love it also. We got them a cat out there so maybe it would help keep the raccoons & other animals away that have been getting in the chicken pen.
